We don't currently live in western WA and tend to stay near Factoria when we're in town. Musashi's is usually super busy when we stop by (dinner time?) so I order in advance so I can quickly pick up our food and enjoy it in our hotel room. The space is also pretty small so I don't want to try bringing the stroller/toddler in. I don't know if their quality has changed over the years or not but I definitely look forward to each meal. read more

Always great. We stopped in for lunch just before their mid day close. Ordered chirashi bowls. Service was prompt, and the food was great as well as being a great deal. Very small, but clean and decorative was nice read more

Musashi's - Chirashi Bowl (Assorted Sashimi over Rice)* - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

It's been a really long time since I been back and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the fish. I ordered online and I wish it was a little clearer but I watched a chirashi bowl , instead I ended up with salmon only bowl with hotate upgrade and ikiro. I also got a couple of toro nigiri and hama rice dish. The fish was pretty good for the price. It was fresh, firm and taste good. The hama was dry and almost burned so I didn't care much. They didn't use sushi rice and just plain rice. I asked that my chirashi bowl comes with no rice but there was rice They were pretty busy when I was there so it's probably better if you order takeout. It was crowded and feels claustrophobic. Service was ok, they had my food ready earlier than expected and that was nice. read more

Great spot for a decently priced chirashi bowl! I like that they allow substitutions of different fish. I also enjoy the hot tea that's provided. I asked for spicy mayo the last time I went and it was not like what I'm used to. It tasted kind of gingery? It wasn't bad, just not what I was wanting (literally just kewpie and sriracha!). Service is decent. read more

I come back every week. The sushi was super fresh and you can really taste the quality, especially in the salmon, it just melts in your mouth. The rolls were simple but done really well. I also liked how straightforward everything was. It's mostly self-serve with the kiosk, which makes ordering quick and easy, but the staff are still around and super helpful if you need anything. The food does take a little time to come out, but it's clearly made fresh so it's worth the wait. The environment is clean, organized, and has a chill, no-frills vibe. It's not super fancy, but it's comfortable and perfect for a casual meal. It can get a bit busy and seating is somewhat limited during peak hours, but that just shows how popular it is. Overall, great spot if you want high-quality sushi without spending a ton. Definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

Musashi's - Fatty Tuna - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Chirashi Bowl: This had a great variety of fish and lots of food. The salmon, scallop, eel, and shrimp were great. However, the tuna, albacore, and yellow tail had a mushy texture. The rice was good. Fresh Salmon Roll (+ Avocado): Great rolls, good portion of food, especially for the price. The food portions were big and filling. You can sit down and then order via QR code, or order via the kiosk. There was complementary tea, which was lovely. The disposable chopsticks were not the greatest quality, but they sufficed. I would probably come back to have their salmon or cooked protein options. read more

Amazing sushi place to try! I usually get their salmon rolls and they're always fresh and delicious. Their spicy mayo is pretty amazing as well. Definitely the best spicy mayo I've ever had. The service was good. It's self served though their kiosk but if you have any questions, the employee will help you. The sushi took a bit of time to make but it was definitely worth it! The ambiance was nice! It was clean and organized and I liked how they decorated the shop. The seating can be limited during rush hour though. read more

This used to be where I would go to pick up super cheap (and decent quality) sushi about 10 years ago The prices have gone up significantly since then but this place still provides the best value when it comes to dining out for sushi. I chuckle though when I see reviews here saying this place offers "authentic" sushi. No disrespect but this is a typical Korean run Japanese restaurant. I don't mean that as negative because this place is quite good for that type do restaurant. I have been to most of their other locations as well and this Bellevue one used to be a bit different in that they did not accept credit card. Now They do. You can also order delivery using Uber Eats. Prices are a lot higher via delivery though (fyi). Their rolls are good but I recommend getting the chirashi bowl (best value). Their kama is also surprisingly good as well. read more

Musashi's - Uber eats order. Musashis roll, dinner nigiri set, chirashi bowl, shrimp tempura roll - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Came by for a meal before a movie at the AMC Factoria today. The space is pretty small! I was a little surprised by how small the restaurant was, so I don't recommend coming here with TOO many people. (I think total seating was 30 or less in the whole restaurant?) And their front door sadly doesn't close all the way automatically, which was rough today because it was chilly! But the food was excellent! They had a chirashi bowl for $18+ which was pretty nice value, and the fish in it was tasty (though I don't think it was the best tuna, slightly stringier). Minor gripe about their disposable chopsticks- they're the cheap, blocky ones that have splinter pieces :( Overall, a pretty nice spot for some sushi! Some of my party got rolls that looked pretty large and delicious as well, so maybe I'll be back to try those! read more

My go to for fresh, not-splurging, sushi fix! Usually we have it to go but decided to eat in since they have renovated a while back. Like the self service kiosk as a secondary option to ordering at the counter with friendly staff. Though place is small, it is well designed for different party sizes- from single person counter to joint 2 or 4 tops over bench. Love they always have complimentary hot tea ready to go. Very efficient operation. Had the bento box, always a great value and most importantly tasty. The fatty tuna nigiri was delicious. Tried the grilled spring onions, simple, tasty and refreshing and my favorite of all time- grilled yellowtail collar Hamachi Kama. So satisfying and filling. The citrus soy sauce is perfect with rice. read more

My first ever chirashi bowl and it was so satisfying! All the seafood paired so nicely together. I don't get sushi often, but when I do, I definitely am a salmon fan. This bowl's salmon was also my favorite, and I was so sad when it was over. Definitely more of a casual eatery- you place your order at the kiosk in the front and seat yourself. There is hot tea at each table and soy sauce. Worth a visit :3 read more

I'm back. For probably the 500th time. Crazy to believe the last review I did for Musashi's was 9 years ago! The service is still stellar. Options are tried and true. There really is nothing more to say. I will be continually supporting this biz and am so happy to see they're doing well. Hands down best bang for buck sushi in Seattle. read more

Musashi's has some of the finest, freshest fish around and is a top recommendation for sure. This location has better spicy mayo than the Wallingford one. Plus it's in a large plaza so there's ample parking. What makes each chirashi bowl so wonderful is the ability to customize and tailor to preferences. Regardless of how many fish you specify (or get the standard bowl), it's the same amount of protein. Skipping the chirashi feels like a mistake, but honestly you can't go wrong with any item here. Chirashi Bowl with Salmon, Seared Salmon, and Roe - I always get salmon and seared salmon, but usually include other fish. Just to err on the side of caution, I skipped the tuna due to mercury awareness having had poke a few times earlier. However, I think this puts into perspective how custom and beautiful each bowl can be. Salmon is so fatty and thick and the spicy mayo is magical. read more

One of my all time local favorites! Been dining here for the last decade, and the quality and freshness never disappoints. I usually order the Chirashi bowl and the Musashi roll, which are a couple of the most popular items on the menu. The chirashi bowl comes with a variety of fish, and the quality always taste top notch. The Musashi roll is a california roll topped with spicy tuna and spicy mayo, which makes it so delicious and more filling. Both items have such good portions for the price. The service is quick and efficient. You just order up at the front and sit down at a table, so it's pretty straight forward. I enjoy the cozy ambience but there is very limited seating. I will continue dining here whenever I want to get a chirashi fix in! read more

Musashi's - Musashi Roll and Chirashi Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Wow!! The salmon is SO good here. I was surprised to see how big the salmon is on the nigiri. It tasted really fresh and good. It's the perfect fish to rice ratio in my opinion. The chirashi bowl is also worth it. We ordered a side of noodle salad and beef skewer, those were good too. However the rolls were just ok, they were my least favorite so I wouldn't order the rolls. I would come here again just for the salmon nigiri!! The seating area is a bit small. I wish there was an area to grab utensils and napkins, as there were none on the table when food arrived. read more

Musashi's really is the loml. I frequent the Redmond location many times, but this time ended up at the Bellevue one. It may look closed on the outside, but as long as the open sign is up they're there! The inside is really small and cozy, and they have complementary tea at every table. I absolutely love dining at Musashi's as the environment is so comforting. While I typically go for the classic rolls and nigiri, this time I decided to get the Musashi roll instead. It was gigantic and extremely value for the price. I loved the abundance of spicy tuna and spicy mayo, and the fish eggs added such good flavor to it. The rice was cooked perfectly as well, and this roll was absolutely delicious. I'll always be the biggest fan of Musashi's! read more

We stopped in on our trip through Seattle. It's a neat concept where you can order on the screen or sit and scan at the table to order on your phone.

I am very flexibly for value of product (competitive pricing). Been going for what feels a decade. Best deal for a chirashi bowl with variety of rolls, nigiri and limited hot food. Hits the spot. Kids love the salmon chirashi bowl Ambiance- casual, small, quaint, not good for large groups or strollers. Love all the local posters of future events. Service- semi fast food ish like. Nice. Parking- available- but with construction a little crowded. Value- excellent! Recommend- it's our go to place for chill Sushi. read more

Such a big fan of musashi's chirashi bowl! I went here with my friend to celebrate my birthday and I was delighted to have this yummy and generous bowl of beautifully cut fish for my birthday! The fish is fresh and plentiful and oh so buttery. It truly melts in my mouth. It's also one of the more affordable chirashi bowls as well! I loved getting a side of miso soup to pair with my bowl. All in all a cute and casual place to get affordable sushi in Factoria. The service is also quick and professional too. I would highly recommend! read more

Came for late lunch so we got a table quickly. You order at the kiosk so if you don't know what you want and someone is waiting behind you, you may want to let them go first. Uni was good but the nori was very chewy so difficult to eat. The nigiri set was okay. I've had better. Hubby had sukiyaki which he said was pretty good. He also had a side of shrimp tempura that he felt needed the sauce or dip to give it flavor. Overall a decent meal for $50 including tax and tip. Service was the best part of the meal as the guy was really friendly. read more

It's been years since we dined in. Sushi is still decent quality for the price, so happy about that. Operations have changed from tableside ordering to kiosk or app ordering. Their layout still has some tables, but now with more bar seating for singles. The space size remains the same. Hot tea and water are still included and in carafes at your table. read more

Small interior with minimal seating but I didn't mind it at all. Looks like a lot of people do prefer to do pick up here so we didn't have trouble finding a table. The lunch nigiri was actually pretty good for the price. I typically don't get rolls but this roll was pretty tasty and got me full fast. The toro wasn probably my least favorite thing that we got. Definitely had better elsewhere but I honestly wasn't expecting much when we ordered it. Overall great place for fast sushi read more

Musashi's - Lunch Nigiri, Musashi Roll, Chu Toro - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I actually really like Musasi in Bellevue -- cozy Japanese vibe with a Korean owner behind the scenes. Tried their new Kabi Rice (LA galbi) and it was great... except one thing: I asked for a knife, and the server told me, "We don't provide knives." Not even joking. So there I was, trying to figure out if I was supposed to go full caveman mode on my LA galbi. It felt like going to a steakhouse and being told, "No knives today." Food is still solid -- just be prepared to get creative with your galbi. read more

Thank you Yelp! I discovered this little gem while on Yelp liking my fellow Yelpers activity. Haven't had fresh sushi in forever! True. This sushi did not disappoint at all. It was super fresh and delish. Simple rolls cut into bite size pieces. I had the fresh salmon roll and half order of CA rolls with added avocado. Complimentary hot tea was brought immediately. A side of grilled zucchini made for a yummy light lunch. The side of ginger was an excellent palate cleanser too. I added a touch of the wasabi to the soy sauce for a mild kick. A very small place and excellent friendly service. Dining was a bit cramped and I had to take a seat facing a side wall. No worries as the wall opposite was full of posters with all sorts of activity ideas for surrounding areas. My only complaint might be that people waiting for a table stood right in front of me eating my lunch. Awkward. May ask people waiting for a table to wait elsewhere? I will be back. You can order at the kiosk up front or at the QR code at your table which wasn't working on this visit. Thankfully the server, yes, the server, only one for the entire place was so friendly! Just super nice and welcoming. Like going to a friends house for a meal. I loved this. Enjoy your life. SYOY! read more

I was really looking forward to trying the Bellevue location, but many things didnt work out today. This location is very compact with limited seating and people line up as soon as doors are open. I got there right at 11:30am for lunch and ordered a chirashi bowl to go. Waited almost 15 minutes and I noticed that others behind me were getting their orders. I went up to cash register to find out that my order was bagged and put on the side. This is a busy place but they only have one person to cover so many things from cash register, bag to go/online orders, answer the phone and serve/clean tables! After a long wait, I was ready to enjoy the chirashi bowl. It looked great and first bite of mini scallops with roes was amazing! When I was about to move onto yellowtail, I found a small piece of black hair ont the second piece of sashimi. It turned off my appetite and I was overly disappointed that I just couldn't enjoy rest or almost all of freshly made chirashi bowl! Please take some care into customer experience! Having fresh and great tasting sashimi is not enough... read more

My fav budget chirashi in Bellevue. Friendly price Japanese sushi. Food comes out fast. Limited seats.

This is a small sushi restaurant in Factoria, located in the same shopping complex as the QFC and Starbucks. Their entrance faces Factoria Blvd. Parking could be hard to find during peak times. Inside, the restaurant is quaint, with limited number of tables for indoor dining. Order is placed at the counter and they bring the sushi to you. I tried the tempura roll and the California roll. Both tasted decent for the price, but was not spectacular. Overall, I find this place to be a decent fast-casual option for a quick stop if hungry, but nothing special. read more

Unfortunately, the worst culinary experience. Quality has really gone down- we showed up on a Wednesday around 1:30pm. Shrimp tempura was not crunchy, you couldn't even tell it was tempura. The roe was watery and just not good. My brother in law says "you come here for the cost, not the quality" but it's really gone downhill- wouldn't even come here for cost. Staff was nice- thanked us when we left. But unfortunately, you go up to order and you pay up front so even that you "get what you pay for." read more

More like 3.5/5 overall. I came on a Tuesday night with 4 people and we ordered at the counter. The restaurant is small and fairly busy, and we were able to be seated immediately upon arrival. I assume this place gets busy on weekends since it was almost at full capacity on a Tuesday. I ordered the sushi nigiri plate and substituted the shrimp with seared salmon. It tasted alright. The fish portions are generous and I enjoyed the tuna and maki rolls the best. I thought I would enjoy the seared salmon the most, but it was one of my least favorite assortments of the plate. read more

What a great surprise behind that unassuming facade! We arrived shortly after 5pm and there was only one other person dining. Order at the counter was quick and the menu was user friendly. The choices were clear even before we got there. Chirashi bowl for $19, that's a no brainer! The dinner nigiri set had a good variety of fish and sweet shrimp. We also got the hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), grilled lightly and it was so juicy, two large pieces came with a plate of rice to complement the juicy and oily fish. Just perfection! Service was quick and they even reminded us that the sushi is one piece per order, although the menu clearly spell it out already. Plenty of parking within the shopping plaza. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Musashi's yet! I have been coming here for the past 10+ years! I usually get their chirashi bowl - I like customizing them with more salmon and/or hamachi and no tuna or unagi, but you can pretty much customize it however you like! Fish quality here isn't the BEST (don't expect omakase cuts) but it's usually pretty good and my sushi craving gets satisfied at a decent price. Rolls and other stuff I've tried like the grilled salmon kama or hamachi kama have been pretty good too. Service is always quick whether you're dining in or taking out. The restaurant is small though so expect a wait during peak dining hours. No reservations. There's a huge parking lot for the Factoria Village where Musashi's is located, so parking is never an issue. Check out Musashi and I guarantee you'll continue coming back for years to come ;) read more

When we saw how small the inside was, we were hesitant because we have a baby with us and there was no waiting area. One of the servers cared to actually tell us that it would only be a 5-10 minute wait as we were about to walk back to our car. Really liked the system that they have going on here. We paid for our order at the register right away and got seated. The server taking our order was very courteous and our food came out right away. Our server was also very attentive to our needs. Food was great! I loved my order and even thought that the price was affordable considering the great quality of the seafood. Overall, highly recommend this place! Although may or may not be for people who have kiddos who are not able to sit on high chairs. The place is a tad bit small but other than that, I would love to come back! read more

Musashi's is still the best chirashi bowl in Seattle! Similar to their Wallingford location, this one in Factoria serves up huge slices of fresh fish, including salmon, maguro, white tuna, eel, hamachi, along with scallops and shrimp. Also appreciate the sushi rice underneath is warm, I hate it when places have cold dry pellet rice. Unlike the Wallingford location, this one accepts credit cards (yes!). There are only six tables plus four bar seats, so definitely get here early or off-peak to avoid crowds. read more
