Musha Review: My Favorite Everyday Restaurant in LA

Musha in Santa Monica is probably the restaurant that we eat at most often in LA and I recently realized that I've never posted about some of my favorite things.  It's a great place for a group, particularly in the private room in the back (seats 6-10 comfortably with a $200 minimum), reasonably priced (about $30-$40 a person including lots of drinks), always tasty, and goes well with lots of pitchers of beer and decanters of sake for a festive time.  We pretty much always order the same thing:

Spicy tuna on rice crackers

Tofu salad

Green bean salad with bacon

Lobster roll

Torched saba

Cheese tofu with honey: not on our usual rotation. Interesting, but I prefer the homemade tofu that we usually order

Yuzu chicken

Musha Fried Chicken ("MFC")

Potato croquette

Itame somen (garlic noodles)

Takana Meshi: rice with all sorts of pickled veggies cooked in a stone pot with lots of good crunchy bits

Vongore udon

Maple creme brulee

Apple Tartin

Musha Izakaya
