Wow, were my daughter and I surprised. We walked in (a little early for dinner) and the place was almost empty--actually we werent sure they were open, so we almost left, but I am so glad we stayed. The meal was fantastic. The server was great, very helpful and friendly, and the food was amazing. So fresh, healthy and delicious. I wish we were locals so we could enjoy this place more often.
If you're looking for a traditional Korean restaurant, then this is definitely NOT the place for you. This is your typical university town trendy hipster spot with mediocre ethnic cuisine.Not much to choose from If you're plant based, and the wait staff wasn't very educated on the few vegan options that were available.The dish we chose typically is served in a hot stone bowl which cooks the rice but not here, and the real kicker was when we received the bill there was a 25%-35% tip suggestion.It was clean and everyone was friendly but seriously?!?!
Mashita was absolutely amazing! We got the following in the pictures to share and were full after finishing it. The buns were so soft, and everything was a total flavor explosion! The sweet and spicy sauce is that good. A total hack is buying takeout and walking down to Sage Bird for a drink. We’ll be back soon!Update: We went back for dine-in and had an incredible experience of trying new food. The special salad was amazing, and the staff was very friendly and professional.
I didn't know pork could taste so good... Amazing food here! Pork belly and brisket are to die for! Good atmosphere and clean surroundings. Staff were very nice and helpful as well. Please don't pass up an opportunity to eat here. We got the kimchi fries, beef kimbap, and buns sampler- braised pork, brisket, and pork belly. 10/10 wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often.
We first had Mashita in 2020 and were immediately hooked. The food was absolutely fantastic, and we continue to go back! We’ve always had wonderful service whether eating in or taking food to go.We had a small wedding in 2021 and having heard from friends that Mashita catered their reception we knew that’s what we wanted. There were so many options to personalize what we wanted to make sure the palettes and dietary needs of our dozen guests were met. It was incredibly easy to book, and we received very prompt responses to our questions. Everyone was very impressed with the food. Two of our friends actually went to get more food before leaving the next day.You will not be disappointed with Mashita!
Definitely a hidden treasure! I had no idea there was even a restaurant, much less a bar and patio dining area! The atmosphere is modern, and the artwork throughout the restaurant adds to the uniqueness of the space. Truly friendly staff and extremely fast service getting my order--which was fantastic by the way. I highly recommend this spot for lunch, afternoon or early dinner and just a snazzy place to hang out. Definitely a cool spot to hang out for a drink as well.
We had kimchi fries and rice bowl bibinbapGreat portions, freshly prepared food. DELICIOUS!
Delicious food! Atmosphere and Service Great ?
Heard about Mashita from the JMU newsletter as they were recognizing the alum owner. So, yesterday we went there as a group for our friends birthday. And it was amazing. The Bibimbap was very aesthetically pleasing, delicious, fresh and so filling and l added a chicken protein. The Katsu was another favorite and so delicious and fresh. The chicken was crispy on the outside and so tender and well spiced on the inside, it just melted on your mouth.One thing though, when you go there make sure you are hungry, give your tummy a chance to experience goodness in Harrisonburg.Thank you
Excellent food. I love the atmosphere as well. They just opened up a new section in the restaurant and it is beautiful!
