Walked by this spot dozens of times on my way to HeyTea. Finally stopped in one day and ordered the OG musubi at the kiosk. Nicely decorated interior with seating. Sevice was quick. I was surprised by how large the musubi was, it definitely was filling. It looked like a lot of rice, so I wasn't sure how flavorful it'd be, but every bite had a good amount of spam, eggs, and rice with the soy/teriyaki sauce. Nothing mind-blowing, but a good filling bite that's satisfying enough if you want something savory!
Decent option to grab some quick classic Asian food in the mall. Service and decorations are okay. A bit pricey, but look no further for your poke fix.
The chicken teriyaki musubi was great, but I don't know how to eat it without a fork. I got a side of kimchi and it was sadly disgusting. Did not taste fresh and looked blanched. I couldn't figure out how to open the onigri so I can't talk to it, lmao. The ube rice krispie was so goooooood though.
Came to check out Capital Musubi. They are located on the first floor in the smaller food court area on the Nordstrom's side near California Pizza Kitchen and next to the tea shop. You order with the kiosk. If you use the iPads to order it's a bit small unless you already know what to get. I ordered the Teriyaki Musubi and all their Musubi are super size. I would almost say it is like an onigiri cut in half. Has lots of rice but I think some more sauce was missing. It was a little dry. It is definitely filling. They also have a few dessert options to try.
I was unfortunately not that impressed by Capital Musubi. The teriyaki chicken had kind of a weird flavor and the eggs were ice cold. The restaurant is pretty much self service-ordering is only available through kiosks. If you need a quick bite, this restaurant is okay-ish but I think I would rather find somewhere else to go.
I thought Capital Musubi was something new and to be honest, as a fan of musubi, when I came across this place it piqued my interest. Musubi is usually something affordable and pretty simple as far as a meal. I ordered the chicken and egg musubi and I thought it was pretty good. The service at Capital Musubi pretty much doesn't exist? It's all ordered through a kiosk and then a worker yells out your order when it comes up. There's not really interaction. I think it's weird, but I guess that's where we're headed. Just pay with a card and then no more interaction? Anyways, the price of the musubi is a little bit pricey for what it is. Then again, with the rising costs of everything nowadays I guess it is what it is. If you're looking for cheap eats, it's beginning to be very rare to find something that's affordable. The musubi isn't small, so that's something, but it wasn't something that was mind blowing amazing. Overall, I would definitely recommend those who love musubi to try Capital Musubi out. It's different, with different flavors. Don't expect the best service, but you can definitely expect to have a different type of musubi experience.
Spam musubi is one of my go to comfort food. They have a lot of different musubi options here. We tried the egg/spam and salmon ones. They were alright, it was a lot of rice. We ordered using the kiosk and had limited interaction with the staff who were being the back counter. So when we wanted to ask for a cup for water, there was no one to ask until they came out when our food was ready. We were just ignored.
I had the Diablo which is quite spicy but pretty good. Not sure why they force us to "choose" a sauce that add .75 cents more. It was quite larger than I expected it slightly hard to eat once you're half way through because it starts breaking an apart. The karage was slightly crunchy but the rice is very slight on the mushy side. Overall I would come back.
Designed for pick up and go to eat in the eating area outside in the hall. Service is okay, you can order from a person or the kiosk. Food is good but a bit pricey for what you're given.
I was honestly thinking that this place would be a good place to eat but really? The menu said cooked salmon instead I ate salmon that tasted out of a can. I am honestly disappointed that they don't use real fish in their menu. At least the miso soup tasted decent because of the paper container. Come once, and never again.
Overall the food here is good! The musubi options are huge and one is definitely enough. I liked that there were several different types to choose from! I chose El Diablo, and while the chicken was tasty with the other toppings, I did feel like it was a bit dry. There is very limited seating inside, and you can only order through the kiosk/iPads. Definitely recommend not coming here during peak time on weekends, because the wait time to receive your food can be long, as expected. Would be interested to try the other options next time!
Kiosks to order and a few seats inside, a few more outside but tysons is always busy so it can be hard to find a spot Mango Sparkling - Very carbonated -- to the point where the intense bubbles were surprising and added a slightly bitter aftertaste. The mango flavor leaned artificial. 1/5 Spicy Chicken Musubi - Definitely large and generously filled, but the texture was off. The rice was mushy, and the seaweed was soft and soggy, making it hard to bite through. Chicken was slightly dry. Just okay overall. 1.75/5 Poke Bowl (Salmon + Spicy Salmon) - The rice was seasoned but still mushy. Toppings were light in proportion to the rice, so the balance felt off. Salmon was just okay -- not very fresh-tasting -- and the spicy salmon lacked flavor. 2.25/5
Nestled between Hey Tee and Gagawa on the first floor of Tyson's Corner Mall. Very filling and reasonably priced. Its a self served spot so didn't really interact much with the waiters. The flavors were pretty good, though I feel the rice could have used some furikake to add flavor. The Loco Moco Fries had some awesome gravy that I would definitely order it again.
A perfect place to grab a quick small bite of Musubi and triangle Kimbop inside Tyson's mall. We got Spam original Musubi and Teriyaki Kimbop. Both were very delicious. Pretty good size for the price. The service is very quick with kiosk order. The place clean with few available seatings. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. My friends and I stopped in on a busy Saturday. We ordered everything from the surf and turf, the OG, El Diablo and shrimp tempura. These are definitely supersized musubis. Each one is packed and you can tell by the weight of the carry out boxes. They have a nice variety of menu items which include drinks, onigiris and poke as well. Seating inside is limited but there's plenty around the restaurant. Wait times were short and we each enjoyed our food. There's a wide variety of musubis to choose from including the savory or health conscious ones. Definitely recommend some wet wipes as these musubis got messy. read more

This place was super cute, we took our time and ordered on the kiosk. There was no interaction with the people that work there. So if you have questions good luck. We spent $60. My partner made a bowl with lots of extras. I got the chicken & shrimp tempura bowl it was really good. We both tried the mango flavor fizzy drink and we both loved it just enough fizz but a little too sweet. I would order it again FYI! We also ordered the span roll with egg my partner said it was a 8 1/2 , I didn't try it. If you looking for good customer service or a nice welcome when you walk in don't go here. If you want good food and don't mind that this is your place. They have a few tables and a sign that says only eat inside if you purchase their food. Normally I'm big on customer service but the mall is busy and they prepare all the food fresh we will be back. read more
A decent fast casual spot. I ordered food on the kiosk, which was helpful to see all the menu options. I ordered the spicy chicken musubi. Wasn't a fan that the chicken was cold though, which was disappointing as I hoped the chicken was freshly cooked. It was in fact very spicy due to the jalapeño in the sandwich. The musubi was $10. I didn't like my order, but giving the benefit of the doubt that I ordered wrong. read more

Great musubis, huge and very flavorful. The loco moco fries were just ok, they had bacon instead of burger. The restaurant was uncomfortably warm. Get musubis and eat in the food court. I'd eat here again. read more

Tucked away in the side food court where Panda Express and McDonalds are is Capital Musubi - a Hawaiian and Japanese fusion fast casual restaurant. The musubi are advertised as super sized and they don't disappoint - I honestly almost couldn't finish mine! Husband enjoyed his traditional musubi, and my teriyaki chicken with kimchi added was great! The space has limited seating inside, but there's plenty of space outside in the food court proper. Everything was served fresh and fast, so a great stop for some place for a quick bite! read more
Capital Musubi is serving up Hawaiin food to an area that definitely lacks it, and for that it's worth checking out. I personally find the musubi hard to eat - the reason sushi works is because they are eaten in one bit, but when you increase the size to that of a sandwich they just fall apart. As such, I definitely preferred when I had a bowl from here. The tempura and karaage are crunchy, light, and delicious. Fits perfectly with either musubi or a bowl. Plenty of flavor between the refreshing pickled veggies, egg, chicken, and sauce. The flavored rice krispies are a fun snack to have afterwards, too. I was a fan of the ube flavor. Tysons has a lot of competition, but Capital Musubi has it's Hawaiin niche solidified. read more
Lived in Hawaii for seven years & one of the things we miss more than the weather & island life is the food. We saw this at the Mall & got excited. Inside was cool, nice decor and plenty of seating. It was organized and clean, staff was friendly enough - not much interaction as you order what you want on a screen. We did a combo, but Hawaiin Mac was not a selection we added as I seriously miss Hawaiian style Mac. The Spam Musubi was pretty good, tasty and we miss the spam in Hawaii. You can get it almost everywhere from 7-11 to Church functions- LOL - big difference is it was cheap. The Miso soup was bland and watery. The biggest let down was the Mac, it was not what I expected. Not Hawaiian style at all (to me) it had bacon bits which were not crispy, and it was more mac cheese minus cheese? Overall kind of disappointing. read more
I wasn't expecting to find a musubi spot in the mall, but I'm definitely glad it's there! They have a variety of musubi flavors and different options so I appreciated being able to order on the touch screens so I could review the menu. I went with the OG supersize musubi and Lilikoi Hawaiian Sun - perfect combo. read more
When it comes to Capital Musubi, this place gets it right. I have been to countless places where they serve Spam Musubi but the ratio of rice to meat over seaweed is always off. Not this place though where it is the perfect amount. I got the combo where it's Spam Musubi, Miso Soup, and Soda ( I opted for water instead ). I like the fact you can order at the touchscreen up front so you don't really have much interactions with the staff too. It's very quick to order and quick to pick up. As for the Spam Musubi, it's a big portion of spam and eggs with rice and seaweed topped with Sesame seeds. It's very filling and I wish I ordered more! The Miso Soup is nothing but Miso Paste mixed with hot water so I didn't expect too much from it. Very good for a Mall Snack or a small meal. I would definitely come back for more! read more
Got the spicy salmon musubi while shopping in the Tyson's corner mall. Definitely very very spicy as they put whole chopped jalapeño peppers in it. Was surprised that it was a lot spicier than we thought. The service was fine they were all nice. There's a few seats to sit down at but if it gets crowded you're not going to be able to sit down inside to eat. Overall their bowls and musubi has an average size portion. read more

This place has the worst mac n cheese. It's not cheesy and the sesame seeds are a weird touch. I have been to Hawaii and I can assure you that they don't serve mac n cheese like this. The pasta had a weird smell to it, and resembled the vegan mac n cheese I have had before (but tastes worse for some reason). The chicken musubi was good, although the bottom of the musubi has a lot of sauce which made it really really spicy. If you are getting it, make sure you can handle spicy. The musubis are big portions though so one order is definitely enough for one person. read more
Food is assembled when ordered with pre cooked ingredients. I was more than a little surprised with cold kimchi chicken served on warm rice, not my favorite. Shrimp tempura were room temperature and tamago was cold from refrigerator. Flavor was good, not sure I would come back for cold chicken. read more
I kept seeing this spot on yelp and it looked good! I expected more honestly. Although I will say these are so big! And very filling. Maybe too saucy? At least for me. The kimchi fried rice was okay, needed more flavor. And there were probably 3 pieces of meat in it. You may like it better than me! Don't knock it till you try it yourself. read more

Watch out, look out; excellent musubi ahead! I have been curious about Capital Musubi and have been wanting to try it. Had a tight schedule, so ordered some musubi on Door Dash. I cannot speak for in restaurant wait times. All I can say is my dasher was very fast - steam bus were still nice and warm! I ordered the El Diablo and the BBQ steamed buns. The El Diablo is a monster! Packed with amazing flavor it was so good! I chomped through half before remembering to snap a photo! It was really good, and now I want to try more! So, why not five stars? As much as I wanted too, I could not. The steam bun was a 180 difference from the musubi both in flavor and quality. There was little stuffing and it just fell flat. Maybe with all the other awesome stuff on the menu, there is not room for these? Regardless, I will definitely be a return customer, will explore the menu (just no more steam buns for me). You should try it out for sure, El Diablo for some sweet delicious heat! read more
I've seen this place tucked back in the food court area of Tyson's Corner Mall on the first floor to the left of Wasabi, the rotating sushi place. It's a smallish size restaurant with a cute rice ball mascot that I didn't give a second thought cause I've never really been a big spam fan. A coworker said I really needed to check it out as it was her favorite place to eat in the mall. Happy to say I see why now! You can order and pay via kiosk which allows a nice look over the menu. If you pay cash you can order in person at the register, it just might take a few minutes. Basically what they serve is a modified Hawaiian/Japanese hybrid musubi. Your choice of fillings (ranging from spam, egg, fried chicken, shrimp, crab etc), toppings and sauces, sandwiched between a thick layer of rice and wrapped in seaweed. They also sell rice balls, rice bowls and a variety of sides. Being our first time here we kept it simple ordering the OG (Spam, scrambled egg, sauce and furikakke) and a crab salad rice ball. Flavor wise it was delicious but messy to eat. It was hard to peel the cling wrap off the musubi and the nori would stick to the wrap. Same with the rice ball. It didn't take away from the delicious taste, just a bit of an annoyance. Don't know if I would make a full meal out of the musubi but it was a nice treat. Décor was trendy and funky (in a good way!) with plenty of seating and a lot of take out orders. Plan on stopping back when we're at the mall and craving a snack. read more
Expectations did not meet reality. The menu looked promising with a wide array of musubi and rice plates that it felt like a hawaiian food dream. However, the food was extremely underwhelming. I got the surf n turf musubi while my partner got the chicken karaage bowl. If you're not familiar with surf n turf, it's basically suppose to be a seafood and meat combo. First red flag is seeing the meat be a straight up meat patty. I took my first bite and my first thoughts were that these combination of ingredients was practically a stomach ache waiting to happen. The seaweed was a tough chew and didn't even hold the musubi properly that the whole thing began to fall apart by my second bite and the musubi became deconstructed in my hands. The combo got too intense for my stomach (primarily the patty) that I had to take it out and it was only then that the musubi became somewhat decent. The chicken karaage bowl was very mid and the chicken was kinda dry. The rice it comes with is sushi rice and it did not complement the chicken well. He ended up giving up on the rice and went straight for the chicken. Maybe do yourself a favor and go to L&L instead of you're craving hawaiian. read more
