Musang

"Melissa Miranda’s flagship Filipino restaurant is one of the most famous spots in all of Seattle, but it still lives up to the hype. On a recent visit the star entree was the seared black cod, a standard on menus all over town but here livened up with some deeply savory bonito flakes. It’s the kind of place where unexpected items can delight — on a recent visit, the greens and mushrooms soaked in adobo sauce had an incredible depth of flavor, and the jackfruit and mango sorbet was tart and sweet and complex, ice cream for grown-ups. One added perk is that many of the items here on gluten-free and marked as such -Harry Cheadle" - Joey Carreon

"You should totally check out—oh wait, Musang's closed on Mondays" is a phrase we used to regularly repeat to friends and family in need of an outstanding beginning-of-the-week meal. Not anymore. This iconic Filipino restaurant is now open on Mondays. You can't go wrong with any order, but the crackly lumpia and a bowl of short rib kare kare is the best combination for pretending it's still the weekend." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"Since opening in early 2020, Beacon Hill’s innovative Filipino restaurant from star chef Melissa Miranda has developed a dynamic menu with items such as succulent short rib kare kare, smoked oysters, and mussels cooked with moringa. The homey space makes diners feel like they’re eating in a beloved family member’s living room, albeit one with killer cocktails, world-class food, and reservations that fill up quickly. Musang also gives back with charitable endeavors like a community kitchen and youth program Little Wildcats, which provides education about Filipino recipes and culture." - Eater Staff

"Musang, a restaurant in Seattle, featured Khushbu Shah's 'Indian pizza party' during her book tour for her cookbook 'Amrikan.' The event showcased a unique blend of Indian and American cuisines, part of a nationwide series of events promoting the cookbook." - Bettina Makalintal

"You probably already know about Melissa Miranda’s Beacon Hill Filipino restaurant, we’re just putting it here so everyone knows that Musang reopened in June after being closed for several months for repairs. Get back in here for your mushroom sisig, arroz valenciana, and short rib kare kare." - Meg van Huygen, Harry Cheadle
