Musashi’s

I had a random late craving for sushi around like 8ish at night. I was so excited to see a Mushashi location in Kent! So I decided to call and order take out. I ordered a Chirashi bowl but I substituted the tuna, yellow tail and albacore for more salmon + seared salmon. Now I don't know if I ordered sushi too late or that their fish quality was lacking. First bite I took was the scallops, immediately I could taste how fishy it was. It didn't taste fresh or sweet. Next was their seared salmon, it was ok. Fresh seared salmon usually has that melting effect that is bursting of goodness in your mouth. Same with the regular salmon. The eel was chewy, and cold. Nothing special. Definitely did not satisfy my sushi cravings but for all of this fish was I believe, twenty dollars and some change. So that is a win!

I did the sushi dinner combo, which had nigiri and a couple of rolls. The fish was pretty fresh and the rice was flavored well. I also ordered miso soup and black tea. The tea was complimentary. I would eat here again.

Came in with my son around 1pm. It was completely empty. I ordered 3 different nigiri pieces, a shrimp tempura roll, and 2 cokes. The server didn't give us any water, any napkins, and one of my nigiri order was wrong. She scraped it off my plate and came back and just placed it onto my plate again. The whole vibe was off. I could understand if they were packed but my son and I were literally the only customers there. The roll was fine and once my order was fixed it was ok too but I wouldn't come back here. They were empty for a reason.

This place is absolute trash now, quality has gone down a ton and portions are smaller than fast food. The fish they gave me was still frozen, it's not fresh at all. Would not recommend this greedy corporate hellhole.

Uh, such a thin bed of rice for the chirashi bowl. I've been to the Bellevue location many times and usually, I have rice leftover. But this Kent location, I needed way more rice. And I think you get less pieces of fish. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Rather drive a little more to go to the Bellevue location. Also, I think they need another FOH person. 1 person to take the order, serve and fulfill deliveries isn't enough. I could barely get a hold of her to ask for something. FYI, you pay and tip when you order in the beginning before you experience the food and the service.

I LOVE Musashi's! I wish there was a location in Federal Way, but can't complain that the Kent location isn't too far away.Since moving out of Washington, my husband and I have had some friends become practically regulars here and constantly see their Instagram stories of sushi at Musashi's. So of course, on our next trip home we HAD to pay a visit! We stopped by on a Friday night around 7pm to meet up with a friend and the place was empty. (Note: there was a constant flow of people picking up to-go orders, and during our time there one other couple ate in.) Lucky us! It's like we rented the place out ;) Inside was clean and spacious, but with limited seating I wonder what wait times would look like if it were packed. The food was pretty quick to come out when we ordered. Of course we had to get like 30+ pieces of nigiri, 90% of it being seared salmon LOL. Honestly that's what we came here for and it didn't disappoint! The quality of the fish and the flavor was perfect. It was so good that I was definitely tempted to order more even though I was at a good level of full! Yes, I know - I'm reviewing based off of my order of seared salmon, spicy seared salmon, and fresh salmon nigiri but the fact that I want to return based off of trying those three days a lot, I think! Reasonable prices and great quality? Hands down will be back. Also wanted to note that gal who was helping us that night was so sweet! Very attentive, provided quick service, and we even chatted about the other Musashi's locations while we were paying for our meal :) (Apologies for no photos - I basically inhaled it right when the platters of sushi hit the table)

All the items are reasonable-priced. I tried the Chirashi Bowl $18.75, which comes with 4 types of fish, unagi, a couple baby scallops and fish roes. I was able to substitute the shrimp with a piece of salmon. The fish slices are rather small and thin, but it's fresh and tasty.I will be back to try some Korean fried chicken cuz it smells really good.

When I arrived around 5:40 on a Saturday (I was meeting a friend for dinner at 6), the place was nearly full; of the 6 tables, only one was free. So I snagged it. The place started to clear out more after 6, and was nearly empty by 8. So my guess is that many folks who eat in arrive early, and most others order to-go.It is a tiny place, and the ambiance is pretty minimalist: a counter to order, with one person working behind the counter and serving all tables, 6 tables total scattered through the open space before the counter.Food was decent, but not the best sushi I've had. I ordered the spicy salmon roll, my date the vegetarian roll (one of the few things on the menu that is vegetarian, which she is). I also ordered edamame, and a bowl of miso. Not anything I'd rush back for, but if I were in the area, and hungry, I'd certainly stop by.Parking is not great. There are spots reserved for the retail businesses (I guess many of the others get taken by residents and guests), and I was lucky enough to get one, but my date was not. She had to park pretty far away.

Good sushi isn't hard to find, but great sushi at a reasonable price is. I've put off writing a review for this location in fear that it will become popular. But this place is just too good to keep secret. Now, this place isn't Trappers Sushi, where they mix and match flavors into a unique fusion in every roll. This is a place whose motto is "simplicity wins." And honestly, they are absolutely winning it all. The seafood is fresh, the cuts and pieces are generous, and the flavor makes your taste buds dance. My go-to rolls are: - Fresh Salmon - Spicy Salmon - Broiled Eel - Smoked SalmonTheir storefront is pretty small, located within a large apartment community, so parking can be challenging. The interior does have a couple of tables, but we usually just order ahead and pick up since we live close. Everyone I've met there is very accommodating and nice. I call in frequently and I am never rushed off the phone. The only downfall is that they close to prep for dinner. But, understandably so, as good things take time.

Long time customer of Musashi Kent, back from when ownership was Korean and then new Chinese ownership. Quality took a big dip today. I took a bite of the first piece of nigiri and was taken by surprise with the mouth feel of the rice. A quick examination confirmed that the sushi chef had used very dry rice and it was crunchy.I informed the long haired Asian woman working there and she said it would be reported to her manager. I explained to her that a sushi chef would know by the feel of the rice whether it was dry or not. Her chef made the nigiri pieces without caring about the quality. She thanked me for letting her know and did nothing more. Disappointing experience and I'm not inclined to return after such an indifferent response from the staff. It would been better for the Asian sushi chef with the spiky hair to be honest and say that the rice was too dry for making nigiri.Also problematic is that this Musashi location takes payment right away upon ordering for dine-in and asks for you to tip at the time of payment. So if dining in there, you'll be asked to tip even before tasting the food and experiencing the service.Goodbye Musashi Kent and here's some advice...Do better for your other customers and never compromise on quality. Take responsibility and make things right when your quality does fall short.Update in the same evening:Apparently the quality issue was worse than I expected. I rarely get food poisoning because of my iron stomach, but it's been 4 hours later. Getting sharp pains in my gut and nausea. Feeling a strong need to vomit. Some part of the food preparation by the sushi chef was contaminated. Be cautious if you choose to go to this restaurant. Customers shouldn't have to check for quality at a sushi restaurant, but with restaurant prices staying high... it's understandable to search for good value and the price of sushi here is lower than other places. At least if you get food poisoning, you'll save about 15-20% compared with more expensive sushi restaurants. Some might say that's worth the risk, but I'm not one of them.
