I always make it a point to have one meal here when I'm in town. Even if I'm only back for a day! The food is always phenomenal! I've had Mashita since they started out as a food truck. I have loved their evolution into a brick & mortar location along with a more extensive menu. Every visit makes me want to keep me coming back! I think I've pretty much tried everything they've served on the main menu. I wish I was home more often to try all of the specials. I have my favorites like the buns, but I also like to order another entrée to round out the whole experience. Tonight, my main dish was the duck ramen. It was magical! All of the flavors complemented each other perfectly! There's always the right amount of protein vs. broth or sauce. Every dish is always at temp, too. This is huge to me! I've had date nights here, met friends, introduced other visitors, etc. Without fail, Mikey always impresses us with his knowledge and expertise. This is a Harrisonburg staple for me. I can't wait to see what the chef's got up his sleeve next!

Went because we heard good things from JMU alum and it’s a good stopping distance between DC and New River Gorge. So glad we did! Friendly service, fantastic food, and a fun local vibe. Andrea served us and guided us through the menu - what range! Best bao we’ve had in awhile- choice of 3 so try the marinated tofu. Perfect asparagus and roasted duck. Cool cheesesteak. Get the fries with it because all 3 dipping sauces are worth slurping. Now I’m looking for excuses to get back to Harrisonburg, VA.

Sublime food that could have fixed everything in my life- if just for a moment -with how good it was. The braised pork and normal chicken buns are to die for, no- really. Fantastic price point for the quality and portion size. Very kind, beaming, and genuine folks and service in a very unassuming, clean, and spacious restaurant. Michael was great! Definitely seek them out if you can.

The food was delicious, and the portions were plenty enough to fill you up. I was a little worried about spice level, but the sauces were brought out on the side so I could pick a less spicy sauce to suit my needs. Nice ambiance and very friendly staff.

If you’re looking for delicious Korean food—this is the spot! All the favorites with spins on other dishes with a Korean twist. They have a great drink menu and fun atmosphere. We tried the fried chicken sandwich, dumplings, kimchi arancini, kimchi and bulgogi hot dogs this trip and everything was delicious. The bulgogi dog though.. I will think about that for awhile!

Excellent Korean food, and great service! First time here but this is going to become a favorite whenever we are back in this town. Their pork belly is the best I've ever had. So delicious and it melts in your mouth. Normally pork belly can obviously feel heavy and after eating couple of pieces you might feel you are done, but not here! The way they cook it takes out some of that heaviness and the after taste that pork belly can have. We order it as one of the proteins you can have in many of the dishes they offer. Highly recommended. We also got Mandu Dumplings as appetizer, the Sampler Buns dish with braised pork and, well, pork belly, the Ssam combo with beef bulgogi (awesome flavor as well), and two Mashita Bibimbap, another recommended dish with plenty of fresh veggies, one with braised pork the other with chicken bulgogi. I'd like to come back and keep trying other dishes. One thing I noticed is their spicy sauces are not very spicy, but I'm sure if I would've asked for Korean spicy they probably have a 'secret' more powerful sauce. For dessert, try the Orange Crème Brûlée. It's quite spectacular! The fresh orange pieces, caramelized orange and orange peel on top gave it a great touch without overpowering the flavor. Well done Mashita, 'it's delicious' as your name indicates!
