NOT RECOMMEND! They offer things for free and then charge you in the end. The waitress offered us avocado for free, we doubled check if it will cost something, cause we actually didn’t want it, and when the bill came she started yelling to my husband saying that she didn’t offered for free. Not trustful at all. It wasn’t because of the price, but about lack of honesty. Plus…they said we weren’t locals “that’s why”. We were in a group of 5 and they didn’t want to charge us separately (it was mentioned at the beginning and they said yes), but they treated us bad about it in the end. Answering them “yes, it was the first time and last”.

We typically order for pick up. Takes about 45 minutes and worth the wait. My wife cannot get enough of the Love at First Bite but we love it all. Spicy Miso is sooooo good! Fresh, fresh, fresh! Muse has never gotten our order wrong. It's a staple in SC...

Tiny little storefront in downtown San Clemente...if you didn't KNOW it was there...you'd probably never get to know it! A grand shame! Wildly fresh fish...you CAN tell! Everything was world-class!Mahalo Muse!!!

The sushi here is amazing! Love the intimate atmosphere, too. But not much seating so it cam be hard to get in.

Service was amazing. Very helpful in recommending rolls. Halibut, YT and albacore were fresh and well prepared. Everything came out pretty quick. Bloody Tuna, Kicker and Sparkling roll were soooo good. If you're in town give it a try you won't be disappointed!

Muse is my new sushi go to! Always fresh with incredible flavor! I have had only positive experiences with both dine in and take out. The sweet and friendly staff is the cherry on top :)

I don’t tend to give bad reviews for establishments.We came here after searching for a sushi restaurant from Yelp. The reviews on Yelp is completely off from my opinion. It’s not a 4.5 star restaurant. I would not come here again. They are not children friendly and don’t offer high chairs. They didn’t have it. Felt I wasted my money eating here.

For the Price it is excellent. Sushi and Veg are always very fresh when I have gone. The Spicy Edamame is really really tasty. Goyza's were very good. Can't beat it for the price especially as Sushi in Southern Orange County is not always the best.

The Kumadai, Toro, Tai, Aji whatever is on the board was purchased that morning. Say hi to Kat, Levy, Dallas, Jim, Penny and Mai. Special people with amazing talent for Sushi and laughs. Bring your patience and grab a Saki while you wait. We know this is OC but we’re a long way from. Newport.

Muse should have 5 stars based on their food. It is really very good and fresh. We have been loyal and frequent customers. Unfortunately, tonight was the last night for me as they are limiting dining to 1 hour. We felt very rushed with the servers hurrying us to choose our food and drinks. This is sad as we used to really enjoy coming. The best meals we had at muse were when they offered their outdoor dining. It seems as if they cannot keep up with the demand and instead of expanding, are choosing to limit their customers experience, even to those who have supported them through the years. Ambiance and taking my time eating is very important to me, especially when dining in the company of friends, so i cannot recommend this restaurant anymore as I used to do frequently to my friends and blog readers. I was not the only person in our table who thought this. It is fast food with a higher $$ tag.

Small sushi spot, but so some of the top sushi in OC!! Make sure to try the spicy tuna deep fried rice appetizer! They recently opened a second location in Laguna Niguel too. It’s much larger than the San Clemente location which is as I mentioned quite small/can be difficult to get seating or order take out; however the new location means there’s a back up if you’re not able to get in to the San Clemente one. They do not take reservations. You can put your name on a list when you arrive and then wait for a table. Get there early to ensure you get a spot. Otherwise they do tend to cut off the waiting list after a certain time, depending on how busy it is. They do not offer delivery and it can be difficult to get through on the phone, but it’s worth the wait! Enjoy!
