“This was my 1st visit to Musashi Japanese Restaurant & although the lunch menu was very limited I had the Bento Box Specisl that day which was delicious & a nice variety of tasty food. I especially liked the Unagi sushi 🍣 😋
The only thing I didn't like is that one dish was Surimi instead of real crab... otherwise I would definitely recommend Musashi Japanese Restaurant.“

“The new manager who bartends sometimes, is always awesome and kind to me. Thank you 🫰🏻🙂

I really love the food here but I came during lunch and I received the worst service ever. 45 mins for a roll and I was the only customer in there for the first 30 minutes. It was upsetting to have to ask for a refill and sauce and for someone to please bring my food.“

“Food and service amazing However : Server totally ignored me and only talked to my daughter. Also we were asked to leave when they started to get busy. Music was loud and even my twenty something old daughter thought it was awful. Those things would prevent me from going back or recommending it to anyone else“

Your food is in togos but that never stops it from hitting everytime ! Love it here and even though we’ve moved all around charlotte , wether its a 5min or 25 min we will continue coming here !“

“I always come here to the Prosperity/Benfield Location but tonight it wasn’t decent. I’ll still come back but disappointed cause they wouldn’t answer their phone. I’m allergic to mushrooms. My Rice wasn’t cooked thoroughly“

“I was walking by and smelled the food and walked in and saw that they had a special so I bought a steak, chicken, shrimp, fried rice platter, and it was delicious and it was a lot to eat. The lady was very nice and it did not take long for the food to be ready.“

“This has become my go-to spot when I'm on this side of town. The concept is great and the sushi burritos are always fresh and amazing. The service is great, too. I hope they are able to expand to the center city and/or east side of town, soon.“

“Everything here is AMAZING!!“

“We had a great chef! Good was excellent!“

“Hibatch source doesn't taste like hibachi. It's just some random source.
Chicken was fresh and tender. Steak was perfectly fine but some pieces were tough.
You get a lot of food for your money. It tasted good but I wish it had hibachi taste.
Whit source included taste good, goes well with the meal.“
