Disappointing that they don't have a hibachi table to cook the food right in front of you (they said their other location does). The food was good, but teriyaki chicken was a bit overcooked. Service was friendly and the dishes were served quick. read more

We went in with a table of 8 during dinner so I was expecting the service to be a little sub par but they were great! The waitress was ready with refills and the food came out on time and all at once I was impressed, the prices were also great read more

Musashi - Philly roll, shrimp hibachi, shrimp tempura roll - Japanese Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

Musashi is so good every time. I moved away and come back and one of the one places I always crave is Musashi. Their salads are amazing, their soup is perfect, and their hibachi is always on point. They always have the best white sauce too. Their sushi is pretty good if you're wanting sushi as well. The ambiance is a little loud, but it's not like that all hours. Lastly, the service is great. They always have great staff and the owner is always working and ensuring that business is running smoothly. read more

The service was great but the soup tasted a Little old. The Salad at hibachi restaurants are always watery but this one was by far the best I've had! The restaurant was very clean but the tables are oddly close to each other. The sushi was great and wasn't fishy smelling but the pieces are small but was perfect for an appetizer! 9/10 would recommend and will probably go back if back in town! read more

Love Musashi! Excellent hibachi and sushi! Great for groups. Always have good service!

Went to eat here alone because I got off work. The food was alright . Serving are extremely small for the 19$ I paid for shrimp and chicken hibachi. Plate serving was something I would give my 8 year old son. Service was good, girl is cute. read more

Sushi was incredible - so fresh and prepared flawlessly. I got a wide array of types and every one was so good. Not getting 5 stars because I ordered the fried rice; which I always get at hibachi places, and it was pretty flavorless. Definitely needed some more yum yum sauce and maybe a few veggies thrown in. Tasteless overall. Would go back here though! Nice place. read more

Gross "Japanese" food. I think it's popular for folks who like huge mounds of slippery rice.

Arrived at 5:30. Was seated fairly quickly. Waitress was rushing us to order. She was very friendly though and gave us ample time to look through the menu when she saw my frustration. When food arrived portions were ample but quality was below average. Over half of hibachi steak was fat and inedible and rice was mostly unseasoned and still white. Vegetables were very good. Chicken in yakisoba had an off taste and texture but noodles were very tasty. Checking out at register was very rushed with no eye contact and no asking of how was everything was. If you do come here order the filet hibachi for a dollar more and vegetable yakisoba noodles without mystery meat. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I ordered the shrimp tempura udon (noodles) and I can not begin to describe how tasteless this dish was. You would think that they would be experts in noodles and that this dish specifically would have more taste, but it did not. This tasted like water and the noodles were over cooked and soggy. I tried adding some salt and pepper to give it some taste and eventually gave up as seen in this photo. The vegetables themselves tasted old and very much freezer like. The service itself is horrible as well. Took more than 15 minutes to even get our drinks and order taken. Would not recommend this location. read more

Good service good food everything is excellent at this place but the only thing that's a problem is the time it's open and closed but other than that is amazing read more

It's a cute place and the staff were nice. The sushi wasn't spectacular (the main reason for 3 stars only) though I did like the vegetable tempura appetizer. I personally think I would've enjoyed it more if I had gotten hibachi instead because that seemed to be the main thing ordered here. read more

Musashi - Shrimp tempura roll Vegetable tempura - Japanese Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

This was our first time trying this place as we just moved to the area. Our server (young blond girl) was VERY GOOD. She was prompt and friendly and knew the menu well. We had a Gyoza appetizer which was very good. I had the filet w/scallops w/white rice. My wife had filet w/fried rice. Food was prompt. My meat and scallops were cold but the rice was piping hot. My wife's meat was the same. Her fried rice was simply white rice with soy sauce on it and warmed on a grill with a little oil. Looks like shortcuts were made. I ordered crab tempura to go with my leftovers and it came out piping hot. All restaurants have off days, so we gave them the benefit of the doubt and figure it's a staffing issue. We will be giving them a second chance at one of their other locations. read more

I wish someone had recommended this restaurant sooner. The food was great, the staff friendly and no wait with reservations ahead. Very crowded and popular especially with families it seemed. A definite return here soon. read more

omg the food here is to die for!!!!! I had the shrimp and veggie udon!!!!! and the steak habach! ( split it with my mom).

Musashi - Eggrolls - Japanese Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

The food was delicious, atmosphere was nice and the servers were all cheery. Kid friendly and decently priced!

This place was Just OK. I've been to many Japanese restaurants and this one didn't have that feel to me at all. It was pretty busy so I figured I'd check it out. I tried the new Bern roll and spicy tuna. It was decent price and pretty good. I also had the goyza dumplings. They reminded me of the store bought brand. I would be shocked if they actually made them there. Overall it was just and ok experience. I'd go back no issue if someone else wanted to go but I won't if it's my choice. read more

I generally go for wings on a Wednesday, but wasn't feeling it yesterday , so I detoured to Musashi. This isn't a typical Japanese restaurant where the chef comes out and cooks for you, although you can see them cooking your meal. Your party sits at a table and orders from a menu. To eat I had the teriyaki chicken and vegetables. It was delicious as always. Our server Jenna was great. She always is. Try the hot saki. This is also a great takeout place. Food is good, service is good and the price is reasonable. read more

The staff is amazing. The food was terrible. My husband ordered yakisoba. The noodles were not stir fry noodles they were straight up spaghetti noodles. It has no seasoning whatsoever. I ordered chicken teriyaki which came with a salad broth and fried rice. The fried rice had no flavor it was literally just sprinkles with soy sauce and left to fend for itself. I have never been so disappointed in a hibachi place. I grew up in Japan and sometimes I can be critical on certain things but man! the fact that none of us Could finish our food and had to pour garlic sauce all over it just hoping that it would taste better is honestly sad. The food was very chewy and bland. The only good thing was the salad because it was drenched in ginger dressing. Maybe they were having a bad night I don't know but I will never go there again. I really hope the fix their menu and reteach the cooks on flavoring. If I could Give It no stars I would but the staff again were very sweet. read more

I placed a pick up order tonight and all was good until i got home and started eating. First bite i took had a long black hair in it which i know isn't mine because i am very much blonde, and then i open my sushi and realize it is the completely wrong kind that i ordered. I come here pretty often for dinner and this has to be the first bad experience i had, but for 30 dollars worth of food that was no longer edible, i wasn't satisfied with this visit at all. read more

We came here with family. My dad ordered sushi which had very little variety and the fish was not well cut, it wasn't fresh either. My mom got chicken teriyaki, the chicken was premade, probably recooked and it was cut into small cubes. Mine was filet and scallop. They ask how cooked I wanted it but when it arrive to the table the meat was precut into pieces and the meat wasn't cooked the way I asked. The only good one was the seafood tempura that came with the seafood udon. Also they were sweeping the floor near us during the time we were eating. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you want an authentic Japanese food. read more

I am really giving this restaurant a 2.5 star. Sarah, my waitress was very nice and attentive. I arrived and the lady who sat me through my menu on the table and walked away. Then, I ordered a crab salad and sushi combo. The clear soup that I have had at probably 50 other Japanese restaurants was inedible. I literally could not eat it. It was disgusting. That has never happened. The ginger salad was good. The crab salad was not anything like I expected. It has no flavor at all. I am used to crab salads being delicious at these restaurants. The sushi rolls were chefs choice and surprisingly were not bad. Being a sushi fanatic I am surprised it was as good as it was due to the other terrible food. I really hope there are more sushi restaurants in town to visit. read more

The food was really good, fast friendly service and a reasonable price. Great tempura .

Definetely a great place to go for sushi! Their hibachi and soups weren't amazing, but the sushi was the best I've ever had! Service was good, and it was fairly packed when we went. Check this place out! Prices are fair and sushi is inexpensive! read more

Things we ordered. Kids teriyaki chicken, chicken yakisoba, crunchy shrimp tempura roll, rainbow roll and various assorted sushi and sashimi, tempura and gyoza. Everything ranged from fine to great. The gyoza and tempura were great. Most of the sushi was good to great, even though the rice was a little bland. The teriyaki chicken was yummy, the yakisoba a little bland. All in all a decent hibachi and sushi restaurant. read more

We felt like having sushi for the first time since moving to the area about a year ago, needless to say we were left disappointed. It reminded me of grocery store sushi, relatively bland and flavorless. read more

Rushed service, bland tasting food, I have gotten better food at buffets and the price and portions did not align, I was disappointed. Great ginger dressing though, my blonde waitress was friendly. read more

We decided to give it a try even with the mixed reviews. We tried the New Bern roll and it was delicious. All 3 of us had hibachi chicken with rice and vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We did find it interesting that they didn't cook in front of you. The service was great. read more

Was absolutely horrific! Started my meal off with bagged lettuce that tasted as if it was just picked and was very soggy. Then went on the the soup that tasted of bland dirty dish water. Also ordered the Philadelphia role which had a dark dingy color and tasted worse than most gas stations I've been to. My main course was hibachi shrimp and chicken. The shrimp was very hard and salty and tasted like I just pulled it out from under a sand bar. The rice was bland and hard. The chicken wasn't the worst I've ever had but definitely could use some work. And the vegetables might as well have been slammed on the plate. They were not cooked and were raw! This place is a disgrace to Japanese food and would recommend to stay a mile radius away from this establishment. The only thing there that wasn't terrible was the service. Also payed $26 for that slimy meal! read more

Place is pretty good, affordable hibachi without the show. You can see the chefs hooking it up still from a far, pretty cool. I enjoy it every time I go. Only thing I don't care for much is the sushi. Tho its affordable and priced fairly I'm aching for a good local sushi place in my area. You guys can do better and I know for a fact you have a master sushi chef working there. Carlos and I have been hibachi chefs together in multiple restaurants. He is also a talented sushi chef. Let the man help you guys out! read more

Love it! We eat here a lot. Great Hibachi and friendly staff! Prices are fair as well

The only good thing about this place is there workers. For starters they use pictures showing them cooking in front of you, but when you came in that did not happen, they falsely advertise on there website. There Steak is overcooked and there fried rice does not taste good in the slightest. Also there sushi tastes bland and is very small and not worth it. The wine tastes cheap and they make it way more expensive then it should be. I'm very disappointed in this place for how good the reviews were. read more

Don't eat here, service is terrible. We were seated right away on a Friday night, but the place looked pretty busy. Our server brought us water and menus right away (you have to ask for the sushi menu). A long time passed before she came back to take our order. We ordered the tempura appetizer, which was supposed to be shrimp and vegetables according to the menu. 10 piece sashimi plate for $15. Green River Roll (eel, avocado, and cucumber - 8 pieces) and a Spicy Yellowtail Roll, which were $4.75 each. Ordered chicken and salmon hibachi, which comes with fried rice and veggies for $14. The sashimi and rolls came out first. Only the salmon was really good from the sashimi plate, everything else wasn't fresh. Rolls were decent. Tempura finally came out... but this was supposed to be our appetizer. And it was all shrimp, no vegetables. Rather than light tempura batter, it was breaded almost like chicken wings. The hibachi plate took over 30 minutes to come out. Our server first came to apologize for the wait on the hibachi plate while we were eating. Then we were completely done with the other food and she came to apologize again and explained another large party's order had come in before us. Okay, cool... so your kitchen can't multitask. Then the manager came over to apologize for the wait and gave us a more detailed version of a large party ordering before us and their food was being cooked first. Over one single hibachi plate. If you kitchen can work on 12+ plates for a large party, surely they can work on just one more plate somewhere in there so my party of two wouldn't be completely done eating before the hibachi came out. But the manager was very insistent, "THEY CAME IN FIRST." Okay, I get it. I would have complained more, but that wouldn't have made that party not come in first, as the server and manager insisted. They did give us the entrée for free because we waited years for it... and it wasn't even very good so don't bother ordering hibachi because it's not worth the price or the wait. Heaven forbid you come in after a large party is seated. Even though there are limited sushi joints in the area, we will not be back here. On top of the slow service, and mediocre food, they could not even be bothered to deal with their customer dissatisfaction in a polite manner. read more

I came here on a Friday night for dinner with a friend. It was pretty crowded, but we were seated immediately. The server was friendly and attentive, and our drinks, starters, and food arrived quickly. I had a house salad and sushi, and my friend had edamame, tempura vegetables, and veggie udo soup. The salad was chopped iceberg with a very nice ginger dressing. The sushi was wonderful--try the tempura shrimp roll, the spicy tuna roll, and the seafood roll. The tempura vegetables and soup were also first-class. Skip the edamame, though, unless you like yours well-done. This is not a steakhouse that gives you a floor show; it's a more of a typical sushi place: close-set tables and dividers with a separate sushi bar. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are much larger than at some other places. It's set in a former music/book/DVD store on a main highway, but don't let the strip-mall vibe fool you--there is some seriously good food here. P.S. My friend has mobility issues, and Musashi turned out to be a very accessible restaurant. read more

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by Musashi. I'm usually skeptical of these sorts of Japanese restaurants, but I felt as though the food was pretty good. The meat and shrimp we got were quite nice and we ate it all up very quickly. The sushi was actually pretty good. However, certain things weren't so great. The fried rice was overcooked and hard. The service was also rather strange. The waiter was barely audible and seemed to float around rather than stay in one place for very long. Overall, it was a nice experience. I might want to try another one rather than letting this be the go-to place. read more

Eh. Sushi was fine, typical for what I was expecting. Waitress was very nice. I know this isn't normal, but for some reason carpet in restaurants just grosses me out. Perfect spot for takeout. read more

First of all this place is dirty and it smells. Whenever I went in the service was terrible and the manager was going to every table and asking how their food was except for us (we are foreigners). He kept was giving us weird looks and kept chuckling to his workers. When I got my steak it was cold and the meat was red and bloody. When we went to go pay for our food the manager flicked the receipt at us. Even though it says they give free refills they never gave us refills even when I asked. read more

Food is DIVINE and does not sit heavy like regular hibachi. 10/10 would eat here on any day. The service is quick and cooked where you can see it. read more

What the menu says is NOT what will be delivered to your table. Ordered a side of veggies, menu stated it would be zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and onions. I received a plate of zucchini and onions. Ordered the Rainbow Roll (go to sushi roll) which is a California roll topped with normally salmon, tuna, whitefish, shrimp, and then a piece of avocado. My "Rainbow Roll" came to the table with salmon and tuna... Not much of a rainbow. Fish was bland... Cheap quality. If you like sushi don't go here. read more
