First of all, I strongly recommend open run, but even if you are late, you will be pushed out by submission customers.I wonder if there is another place in Bellevue that is as good as this for the price.

We liked this place overall. The sushi was pretty good quality, we got 6 rolls. Our favorite was the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. They did mess up and give us a vegetable roll instead of a California roll but they gave us the right roll for free. The place is a bit small and cramped but for the price and quality of sushi it is definitely worth it!

musashi's is a go-to place for many asian-americans in bellevue, and the small restaurant can get relatively crowded on a weekday evening. it's a no-frills restaurant -- you order at the front from a simple menu. the chirashi bowl is a favorite, with generous portions of fish and rice. there aren't many vegetable options so we paired it with some skewers. the fish quality is alright, but at least they are thick slices.

Best value Chirashi in town by far. I tried a few other places, none come even close. Musashi is cheaper and use higher quality fishes. Highly recommend.

Was craving some sashimi and found Musashi's nearby. Came here on a Monday around noon and while it looks quiet on the outside, it gets busy very quickly when you get inside but I was able to grab a table to eat in. You can either grab a table first and look at the menu and proceed to order at the counter, or order at the counter first and then grab a table. Just note that the area for dining in is quite small but tables are cleaned and prepped efficiently after someone finishes dining in. Either way, you pay beforehand at the counter which is convenient. The reviews talked about the chirashi bowl so I ordered that and it came out relatively quickly even with it being very busy. The portion size for the chirashi bowl is very good and probably the best value for one. The cuts were huge and fresh and was given plenty of wasabi/ginger to compliment my bowl. I left very satisfied and would definitely come here again to try their other dishes!

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.

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!
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 ;)

I have been here several times, and it never disappoints. Their Chirashi bowl is the best value on the West Coast. I know because I’ve been to Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego and none of them compare. Do yourself a favor and head on by.

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.

Splitting sushi and the bill along with it is kind of annoying with people you don't know. ENTER CHIRASHI BOWL. Good serving size for one person with a lot of variety in it for cheap. Very cool. Good price, good quality, fast and friendly service. Very solid, nothing fancy, not even the price tag. 4 stars.

The food was super good, I really liked the yellowtail nigiri, it tasted fresh and it was all relatively cheap for a sushi spot. They also had complimentary hot tea which I thought was pretty standard but still good. I would say that a Sushi Nigiri plate and one additional standard roll would be enough for one person.The restaurant itself is a small and cozy with a cabin-feeling atmosphere that is very inviting. Is a good place for you to just chill with your friends and eat good sushi. It does seem like a full sit-in restaurant but you technically have to place your order at the counter and then you can sit down and self serve your beverages.The staff were really friendly and helpful, although we really only interacted with them when initially ordering.Highly recommend if you are in the area and are craving sushi on a budget!
