Musang is a Filipino restaurant in Seattle's Beacon Hill neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington.

Description

The menu has included buttermilk fried chicken, pork lumpia with sawsawan, short rib kare-kare basted with peanut butter bagoong, as well as vegetables in coconut sauce and vegan shrimp paste.[1]

Miranda incorporates a community-based approach to managing the restaurant, starting multiple community service efforts. Once the restaurant shut down at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, they provided over 200 meals a day.[2] They funded this effort through community donations and grants.[2] Even after re-opening, Miranda continued to provide free community meals.[3] Furthermore, Miranda provides free Filipino food education programming for children through her Musang Little Wildcats program.[3]

History

Chef and owner Melissa Miranda opened the restaurant in early 2020.[4]

Reception

In November 2020, Musang was named Seattle Met's Restaurant of the Year.[5]

Food & Wine named Miranda one of eleven best new chefs in the United States for her work at the restaurant.[6][7] In The Infatuation's 2022 list of "The 25 Best Restaurants in Seattle", Aimee Rizzo wrote, "Eating at Musang is like being guests at a pal's dreamy dinner party" with "phenomenal takes on Filipino classics" that "make us want to stop everything and sing about them as if life were a movie musical".[1]
