Finally got to visit Musang, and it lived up to expectations taste wise. The Pancit Lomi is the star dish, and is an explosion of flavor. I enjoyed the ginataang gulay (squash dish) as well. The brussel sprouts were alright, there wasn't enough sauce or alternatively too many sprouts. Do try the corn bibingka for dessert, it's delicious and not too sweet. The prices are very high for the quantities, especially the brussel sprouts and squash, they should be knocked down by 5 bucks at least, they're more like appetizers in slightly larger quantities. I wish they charged a more sensible service charge, 22 percent is absurdly high.

The food is good? Well, good luck getting what you ordered. I have been here twice, and both times they took my order, waited 30 minutes until the rest of our food was ready, then told me "sorry we are out of what you ordered, do you want something else?" Your kitchen staff needs to learn to communicate with your serving staff. It's not hard. Maybe a little training or coaching? But clearly that's too difficult, because it keeps happening. Figure your stuff out.

We ordered 2 items. The wild cat fried chicken and the short rib Kare Kare. The fried chicken was bland. The short rib was under cook and it was super hard to chew.

Visited their catering spot next door while the main restaurant is closed, which I was told had the same menu. Not a local, and was super excited to try this place the next time we came to town. I really wanted to love this place - I love seeing Filipino food elevated and was interested in seeing their take. Unfortunately none of the dishes we ordered (lumpia, sinigang ng hipon, brussel sprouts) left a lasting impression. The lumpia was fine, nothing stand out. The sinigang, my favourite Filipino dish, was not very sour and very underwhelming in flavour. The brussel sprouts were pretty good, and were probably the best of the three dishes. The service was awesome though, which was the redeeming point. Quite pricey for what it was with the service charge (and it’s not expected to tip extra, but it’s a bit awkward when they hand you the machine and it has additional tip prompts AFTER the 22% applied). Overall pretty disappointed as I had really high hopes! Might consider giving it another try when they’re back in their main space.

My friend and I shared the cold scallops, Brussels sprouts, rock fish, and a pot of peppermint tea. For the most part the flavors were ok, but the rockfish was a bit too fishy, and for $120 (22% gratuity is included), I was not that thrilled overall with the portions and food. I'd hope for that price, I'd at least be full.The staff were all PHENOMENAL, and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

If I could sum up my experience in one word it would be: sayang.The good:Service was impeccable. Very attentive without hovering.Presentation was on point. As they say you eat woth your eyes first and each dish was a feast for the eyeballs.The ambiance. The space is great and has an elevated old Manila feel. They bar had quite the selection Dessert - the corn bibinka was on point. Haven't had one this good in years.The ginataang veggies were delicious and they used winter veggies which was a nice twist to the dish.The not so good:Value - Filipino food is about family and is typically served family style (silog's being an obvious exception to the rule as a function of their origin) . The sisig was certainly large enough to be served family style but the other dishes were smaller single serving size. And for the price paid fell short. The fried chicken was dry, making the gravy a requirement. Sinigang sourness level is always a personal preference. This singiang was good and I think at a level that is approachable for the masses and uninitiated (ang mga puti). Vegetables were not as much as I would of hoped especially with as much protein was given. I appreciate all the ribs though!The portion size and flavors just left us wondering where our hard earned money went.

A young Asian female making a splash in the culinary scene in Seattle. I'm all for it. It makes me so happy. Food was absolutely delicious and I've been here a few times just to try something new on the menu. Wonderful service! One time they were phasing out a dessert on the menu so they gave us one on the house. "I want to make sure you give this a try before we phase it out". Ughhh my heart!!!!Bonus point for being an easy spot for folks relying on public transit. It's quite close to the beacon hill link station. Finding street parking can be tough.Following their Instagram was helpful for me to know when they release reservation dates. You do have to plan ahead because this place is very popular. It deserve the popularity. I will recommend anyone visiting or living in Seattle to try this place at least once. (I intentionally didn't want to talk about the food in detail, because I don't want to spoil the experience for ya.)

We are foodies. Real foodies. We travel to eat and experience new foods and styles. So giving 5 stars and high praise never comes lightly. Musang is probably the most deserving 5 stars I’ve given in a long time. We were so impressed on our first visit a couple weeks ago; we decided to try it again.Both times did not disappoint. The food is outstanding. Unique; fresh; traditional but with elevated quirks to make the dishes unique and stand out. The chicken with the house gravy or tomato base is out of this world. The short rib was so tender you should use a spoon to debone. We have sampled throughout the menu as well as recommended cocktails and two bottles in their natural wine selection. Nothing, has disappointed, all impressed! From the hostess to our bartender “Tuesday” and our server “Phil”, they impressed us throughout our dinners! We’ll be back!

AMAZING food, such a good elevated filipino restaurant. so much flavor and the flavor palettes are so well refined. service was amazing, all the employees are so nice and welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. ambience is perfect and i loved everything about it.
The food here is incredible. Staff all kills it every time with descriptions and recommendations. Wish my mouth was bigger so I could fit more of this food in my mouth at the same time.

For the price, I don’t think the food was worth it. It was good but not great. I wouldn’t go back personally nothing stood out to me enough that I would want to go back. We had the short rib, sizzling pork belly, fried chicken, Brussel sprouts, and the corn cake. The corn cake and the Brussel sprouts were the best out of the whole lot I’d eat those and not order the rest if I went back. The pork belly had this weird hard bits in it and it was like they forgot to salt the sauce and the short rib.
Seafood rice is too too saltyEnvironment is niceService is super super good There is one dish on the house which I feel like the best dist

Wow! All the hype is 100% spot on. This place was fantastic. I seriously can't find a single thing wrong with the night. The food was amazing, the drinks were perfect, and we even got dessert. Our server was friendly without being over the top, and the venue is adorable. It gives both a romantic vibe and a fun dinner with a group. This place is expensive, there is no doubt about it but 100% worth it.
