COMBO - The OG Musubi

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.

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.

One of my favorite food options in Tysons mall. The chicken in the musubi is crispy and warm. The egg is slightly sweet. It's not as good as in Hawaii but it hits the spot when I'm craving musubis here. They have kiosks for ordering. I couldn't customize no sauce on the machine but I flagged down one of the people behind the counter after ordering and they were happy to accommodate.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
