Musashi Japanese Steakhouse

If I have ever been passionate about sharing my dining experience about a restaurant it would have to be this one. My family and I just returned from celebrating my birthday at Musashi Japanese Restaurant. In the 14 years we have lived here, this is the best Teppan Yaki we have had. We have tried the "others" and Musashi far exceeds them in attentive customer service, hospitality, kindness and quality fresh ingredients. Being half Japanese and growing up in Japan for 15 years I am critical of Japanese restaurants. This far exceeded my expectations and the most critical, my Japanese mother. It is so refreshing to go to a Japan restaurant and leave without being disappointed. The homemade flavors of the entire meal including the sauces shows their dedication to exceptional cuisine and culinary skills. If you are visiting don't let the "it is off the strip" location shy you away from trying this restaurant. Chef/owner "Tiger Woo" is friendly, a wizard with his tools, and a comedian! You will leave entertained, full and content even after paying the bill. The prices are very reasonable making this restaurant "doable" anytime, not just for the special occasions. Musashi is across town for us but after tonight, we have a new favorite Japanese restaurant for locals. My husband and I are looking forward to returning to try the sushi. Believe me it will be before my next birthday! There is one negative comment: I wished I discovered it sooner. Pros: Real Flavors of Japan, Great Hospitality, Close enough to the Strip for Tourists and Off the strip for the locals Cons: Would love to see Japanese Karaoke start as discussed tonight! more

Musashi by far has the best Japanese food in Las Vegas. Whether you want lunch, dinner, late night, sushi, hot-pot, teppan (table cooking), or other dishes, Musuahi by far surpasses the competition. The fish and meat are excellent quality, the portions are huge, the sushi selection is enormous, and the sauces are unique and full of flavor (and homemade!). My favorite part (besides the food) is the personalized service. Everyone there is extremely accomodating, friendly, and fun! Musashi isn't just a meal, it is an experience! It is the perfect place for a business lunch, a romantic dinner, or a birthday celebration. Pros: The food & the service Cons: none! more

So we were driving around trying to find somewhere to eat when we stopped in for the first time...What you ask? Only the best place for sushi in vegas... They have this great Happy Hour that starts at 11 p.m. and goes until 4 a.m. we were there until it closed.. The sushi is some of the best I've ever had and the Teppan food was great too.. we were greeted by one of the most friendliest staff I've ever seen and the journey began. We started with sushi, oh and if you have been there before, but not for awhile, they just added like 30 new rolls. Then we ate teppan... Seriously people, go hungry.. We ate so much, but the best part was some of the drinks they have.. Saketinies are the best in town hands down... They really know what they are doing and they all do it very well.... You will see me and my friends again and again!!! The lost girls.... ; ) Pros: Everything Cons: Not a thing at all more

I pride myself on being a foodie. Since I lived in Vegas before, whenever i return i know where to go for sushi, mexican food, or vietnamese. The only place I was never able to find was somewhere for Teppenyaki. Old friends of mine from Texas who moved over there took me to Musashi one late wednesday night before Thanksgiving. The outside facade was unassuming but as soon as you walk in you are greeted by a nice hostess and tasteful ambience. None of this stereotypical music or furniture "lacquered" to a glossy shine. We sat for teppenyaki and was greeted by Tiger, the man of the restaurant. i ordered the prawns and scallop teppenyaki. Just a note-either come extremely hungry or share your plate because Musashi gives a lot of food and not just the fillers. I got a heaping bowl of fried rice, a dozen shrimp and about ten scallops flavored with a yum yum sauce. Included were two great sauces that Tiger made for us, and a platter of stir fried veggies-each. And trust me, there were a lot of veggies. The service was great, the sushi choices were unique and plentiful and they were open late..very late. Added note-ask for sake, with a little Tabasco sauce. Pros: Ambience, great sauces, large portions more

I have been going to Musashi's on a regular basis for the past several months. It has the best atmousphere and top notch staff. I discovered it through and aquantance and it is simplely lovely. It has the most prompt and highly trained employes in addition to this they make you feel welcome and ensures that you enjoy the full Musashi experiance! I have travel around Asia and other parts of the globe and Musashi's is definatly the best Japanese restuarant I have located. 5 of 5 STARS! Pros: Ambience, Taste, Friendly and Personable Staff, Amazing Food Cons: Parking later during prime dinning hours can be difficult at times. more

I started going to Musashi's 2 weeks after it opened last year.I have never had the better food in any restaurant anywhere... and I have lived everywhere. The people make you feel like you are right at home always a friendly greating and even know what you ordered on your last visit ! how many places can you say that about. The show is amazing. Musashi's even has a great kosher dish ask about it you won't be dissapointed. Don't waste your time and money at those same old chain restaurants they don't even compare. If your looking to be entertained filled to the brim with the best dishes you could imagine and have the best tasting saki in the universe COME DOWN AND CHECK THEM OUT !!!!!!! Oh ya and for everyone that thinks they can't make cuz the work too late .... ya well Hows 4:00 .... AM that is. Pros: Food, People, Decor, and of course SAKI !!! Cons: Ya right this place has it ALLLLLLLLL IT ROCKS !!!!!!! more

I read all the reviews before I went. I expected everything and maybe a little more from what I read. I got everything 100 times back. Outstanding!!! Everything that I read was very true, great service, cozy atmosphere, excellent sushi, perfectly seasoned and tender steaks, nice sized lobsters, an unforgettable experience, and the list keeps going on and on. PRICELESS!!! ( I was surprised at how reasonable the prices were, being soo close to the strip) My friends and I will definately be experiencing Musashi soon. Pros: Inexpensive, everything was great. more

My wife just suprised me with a trip to Las Vegas this last weekend with a couple of my friends. She wanted to have a fun time at dinner, and she decided to go with a Japanese restaurant where they would cook the food right out in front of the group....Musashi was everything that we could have asked for and more. Pros: All pros...no cons more

I have been going to Musashi Japanese steakhouse since they have opened, and I must say that it is my favorite place in town! The food is amazing. I was never one for sushi, but the sushi there made me to enjoy it. The service is awesome, and the happy hour specials are some of the best. They actually have REAL KOBE!!! They have thursday night industry night which brings in a great crowd, and even FREE sake tasting. You have to check this place out! This place clowns on the competition without a doubt!!! Pros: Everything is GREAT! more

We held reservations for the Teppanyaki grill which proved to be unnecessary as we were the only ones in the room for most of the evening Our chef was the owner who most recently served as the executive chef at the Hamada on Flamingo. We each ordered the skinless chicken breast with vegetables which included miso soup and shrimp appetizer. Our personal chef put on an exceptional show and everything was cooked to perfection. Menu prices are very moderate. Pros: No wait for Teppanyaki grill, good value, good food Cons: Not busy more

I'm a true fanatic of Musahsi. Chef Stomu without a doubt cooks the best food in town and the customer service is excellent. I love the fact that I can go to Musashi after work and head out on the town and then head back late night if I need a good bite before heading home. All around my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. if you sit in the tepan room it's quite entertaining. more

The first time I visited Musashi?s I was hooked! The staff was warming, friendly, and entertaining. The food was amazing. if you have been to a restaurant like The Claim Jumper, where you have to get like 3 to-go boxes to finish what you bought, only to throw it away after a couple days of it sitting in the refrigerator, you will notice a difference, as the food at Musashi?s is so appetizing, you will be forced to sit down and eat every bite (with chop sticks). Since the food is so good, I love to bring friends with me to Musashis. Not only will the staff remember my name, but my friends? names too. Pros: staff, everything, food, everything, sushi Cons: n/a more

Wow!!! This place is unbelievable! I'm telling you this is not just another Japanese restaurant, this is the one, the one that everyone's been searching for. I was at the bar of another Japanese restaurant close to the strip and getting acclimated with the bartenders. I was asking them about their restaurant, and then they, they told me if I wanted to eat, to go to Musashi's. I took their advice and walked a block to Musashi. Believe me when I say that this place is a gem. I ate at this place two days in a row. The first day, I ate by myself and it was by far the best steak and lobster that I have had. The second day, I took 9 of my clients out to Musashi. OMG, we had the time of our lives. Sushi and the sashimi was really fresh, tuna was the perfect color dark, deep red, not bright red, so I knew it wasn't the frozen tuna. The Kobe beef was out of this world!!!!! It just melted in my mouth. I mean everything was great, the chef ( Tiger = owner) was superior in every way compared to any other that I have witnessed throughout my travels. He actually prepared amazing sauces on the flattop grills. He also entertained all of us throughout our whole meal. I mean this was a new experience that I insist you all need to see, taste, and feel the pride that the chef takes in preparing your meals. This place is not just another Japanese restaurant, this is a one of a kind experience that needs to be explored!!! I RECOMMEND this place and even the bartenders at Hamada's recommend this place!!! I give it two thumbs way up!!!!! Pros: Fresh, excellent quality, groups or solo, inexpensive, very relaxing, not rushed more

The Musashi Japanese Steakhouse (to me) is no longer a restaruant, but a way of life. The friendly atmosphere is one that is only seen in TV shows like Cheers, where the comraderie develops as the regulars get to know each other. There are no visitors here; everyone is family. Tsutomu and his staff do an excellent job to provide the creme-de-la-creme of customer service without making you feel like you are a customer, but more like a guest. The food is probably the best tasting in Vegas, so good that many show up 3 times or more a week for Tiger (Tsutomu)'s excellent cooking. It is always just right. more

I really enjoyed the food, as well as the service and atmosphere. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. The portions are enough to feed a large army (make sure you're hungry when you go). The staff members are full of character and very friendly. They definately make the dining experience very fun and eventful. Their ability to accomadate large groups is a huge bonus. The best bonus of all is that you will always leave with a happy ending. Pros: Fresh food, Service, Atmosphere, Hours Cons: None that I can think of more

I travel, travel, and then some!!! I almost always go to a Japanese restaurant or steakhouse wherever my business takes me. I am honestly telling you that this is by far the best restaurant that I have been to in quite some time! Everything, I mean everything is just mouth watering. The steaks are unbelievable, even the Kobe beef tasted better than the one I just had recently in Japan. Everything was seasoned to perfection!!! My friends from Microsoft recommended this place to me, and now I can see why they ate there two times in three days during the CES show. I was really impressed. Pros: Everything was beyond perfection!!! more

Plain and simple, WE LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!!!! Great food, open late, reasonable prices and Chef/Owner Stomu is a phenomenal host. The sushi and tepanyaki are top notch and the fried rice is legendary. Thanks for the good times......Kyle and Sidrit more
