Walked by this spot dozens of times on my way to HeyTea. Finally stopped in one day and ordered the OG musubi at the kiosk. Nicely decorated interior with seating. Sevice was quick. I was surprised by how large the musubi was, it definitely was filling. It looked like a lot of rice, so I wasn't sure how flavorful it'd be, but every bite had a good amount of spam, eggs, and rice with the soy/teriyaki sauce. Nothing mind-blowing, but a good filling bite that's satisfying enough if you want something savory!
I had the Diablo which is quite spicy but pretty good. Not sure why they force us to "choose" a sauce that add .75 cents more. It was quite larger than I expected it slightly hard to eat once you're half way through because it starts breaking an apart. The karage was slightly crunchy but the rice is very slight on the mushy side. Overall I would come back.
I was unfortunately not that impressed by Capital Musubi. The teriyaki chicken had kind of a weird flavor and the eggs were ice cold. The restaurant is pretty much self service-ordering is only available through kiosks. If you need a quick bite, this restaurant is okay-ish but I think I would rather find somewhere else to go.
I was honestly thinking that this place would be a good place to eat but really? The menu said cooked salmon instead I ate salmon that tasted out of a can. I am honestly disappointed that they don't use real fish in their menu. At least the miso soup tasted decent because of the paper container. Come once, and never again.
The chicken teriyaki musubi was great, but I don't know how to eat it without a fork. I got a side of kimchi and it was sadly disgusting. Did not taste fresh and looked blanched. I couldn't figure out how to open the onigri so I can't talk to it, lmao. The ube rice krispie was so goooooood though.
Came to check out Capital Musubi. They are located on the first floor in the smaller food court area on the Nordstrom's side near California Pizza Kitchen and next to the tea shop. You order with the kiosk. If you use the iPads to order it's a bit small unless you already know what to get. I ordered the Teriyaki Musubi and all their Musubi are super size. I would almost say it is like an onigiri cut in half. Has lots of rice but I think some more sauce was missing. It was a little dry. It is definitely filling. They also have a few dessert options to try.
I thought Capital Musubi was something new and to be honest, as a fan of musubi, when I came across this place it piqued my interest. Musubi is usually something affordable and pretty simple as far as a meal. I ordered the chicken and egg musubi and I thought it was pretty good. The service at Capital Musubi pretty much doesn't exist? It's all ordered through a kiosk and then a worker yells out your order when it comes up. There's not really interaction. I think it's weird, but I guess that's where we're headed. Just pay with a card and then no more interaction? Anyways, the price of the musubi is a little bit pricey for what it is. Then again, with the rising costs of everything nowadays I guess it is what it is. If you're looking for cheap eats, it's beginning to be very rare to find something that's affordable. The musubi isn't small, so that's something, but it wasn't something that was mind blowing amazing. Overall, I would definitely recommend those who love musubi to try Capital Musubi out. It's different, with different flavors. Don't expect the best service, but you can definitely expect to have a different type of musubi experience.
Spam musubi is one of my go to comfort food. They have a lot of different musubi options here. We tried the egg/spam and salmon ones. They were alright, it was a lot of rice. We ordered using the kiosk and had limited interaction with the staff who were being the back counter. So when we wanted to ask for a cup for water, there was no one to ask until they came out when our food was ready. We were just ignored.
Overall the food here is good! The musubi options are huge and one is definitely enough. I liked that there were several different types to choose from! I chose El Diablo, and while the chicken was tasty with the other toppings, I did feel like it was a bit dry. There is very limited seating inside, and you can only order through the kiosk/iPads. Definitely recommend not coming here during peak time on weekends, because the wait time to receive your food can be long, as expected. Would be interested to try the other options next time!
Kiosks to order and a few seats inside, a few more outside but tysons is always busy so it can be hard to find a spot Mango Sparkling - Very carbonated -- to the point where the intense bubbles were surprising and added a slightly bitter aftertaste. The mango flavor leaned artificial. 1/5 Spicy Chicken Musubi - Definitely large and generously filled, but the texture was off. The rice was mushy, and the seaweed was soft and soggy, making it hard to bite through. Chicken was slightly dry. Just okay overall. 1.75/5 Poke Bowl (Salmon + Spicy Salmon) - The rice was seasoned but still mushy. Toppings were light in proportion to the rice, so the balance felt off. Salmon was just okay -- not very fresh-tasting -- and the spicy salmon lacked flavor. 2.25/5
Nestled between Hey Tee and Gagawa on the first floor of Tyson's Corner Mall. Very filling and reasonably priced. Its a self served spot so didn't really interact much with the waiters. The flavors were pretty good, though I feel the rice could have used some furikake to add flavor. The Loco Moco Fries had some awesome gravy that I would definitely order it again.
There's something simple yet delicious about the combination of Spam, egg, rice, and seaweed with a bit of soy sauce. Capital Musubi however some how still messed it up with over whelmingly sweet sauce and rice paper that are broken apart. The service is ok and place is relatively spacious. Otherwise nothing special to write home about. read more
Watch out, look out; excellent musubi ahead! I have been curious about Capital Musubi and have been wanting to try it. Had a tight schedule, so ordered some musubi on Door Dash. I cannot speak for in restaurant wait times. All I can say is my dasher was very fast - steam bus were still nice and warm! I ordered the El Diablo and the BBQ steamed buns. The El Diablo is a monster! Packed with amazing flavor it was so good! I chomped through half before remembering to snap a photo! It was really good, and now I want to try more! So, why not five stars? As much as I wanted too, I could not. The steam bun was a 180 difference from the musubi both in flavor and quality. There was little stuffing and it just fell flat. Maybe with all the other awesome stuff on the menu, there is not room for these? Regardless, I will definitely be a return customer, will explore the menu (just no more steam buns for me). You should try it out for sure, El Diablo for some sweet delicious heat! read more
I've seen this place tucked back in the food court area of Tyson's Corner Mall on the first floor to the left of Wasabi, the rotating sushi place. It's a smallish size restaurant with a cute rice ball mascot that I didn't give a second thought cause I've never really been a big spam fan. A coworker said I really needed to check it out as it was her favorite place to eat in the mall. Happy to say I see why now! You can order and pay via kiosk which allows a nice look over the menu. If you pay cash you can order in person at the register, it just might take a few minutes. Basically what they serve is a modified Hawaiian/Japanese hybrid musubi. Your choice of fillings (ranging from spam, egg, fried chicken, shrimp, crab etc), toppings and sauces, sandwiched between a thick layer of rice and wrapped in seaweed. They also sell rice balls, rice bowls and a variety of sides. Being our first time here we kept it simple ordering the OG (Spam, scrambled egg, sauce and furikakke) and a crab salad rice ball. Flavor wise it was delicious but messy to eat. It was hard to peel the cling wrap off the musubi and the nori would stick to the wrap. Same with the rice ball. It didn't take away from the delicious taste, just a bit of an annoyance. Don't know if I would make a full meal out of the musubi but it was a nice treat. Décor was trendy and funky (in a good way!) with plenty of seating and a lot of take out orders. Plan on stopping back when we're at the mall and craving a snack. read more
A very quick lunch while shopping around in Tysons. My first time eating here and would definitely come back. I got the Shrimp Tempura Musubi and was pleasantly surprised at the size! Musubis come boxed and divided in two to make it easier to eat. However, it is still a little bit messy (in a good way!). read more
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. read more

I actually really enjoyed the rice cake over the fried rice bowl. Don't get me wrong the spicy fried rice and chicken bowl was good, but it was not nearly as good. The food was made fairly fast. They place your order using a kios. You don't really interact with anyone for service. It's a very casual spot located on the lower level of the mall. I recommend trying the rice cake! read more
I didn't even know this place was in the mall until this week and I've been to Tyson's so many times. I haven't had a musubi in many years and I was excited to see this place. It's on the first floor of the mall down the same hallway that Cinnabon is on. The food was very good here. We got the El Diablo musubi and the chicken karaage fried rice. The El Diablo was very good. It wasn't too spicy and held up well until we got into the movie theater. The musubi is covered in plastic wrap so beware of that before you start chowing down. The fried rice was okay. Definitely not the reason you would want to go here. The service was fairly quick and it was made fresh. It's a self order kiosk and then the employees make the food and call out your name. The ambiance is Hawaiian themed and rightfully so since it's Hawaiian food. It has some neon signs and flamingos and what not up. Very casual and easy going place. Definitely stop by and try this place if you don't mind seaweed and rice. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food - 4 service -4.5 ambiance -4 Solid for a quick snack. I got the shrimp tempura musubi. Tasty. I felt the rice was a tad mushy but overall again a great spot to pick up a portable meal. The serving was a lot larger than I expected as well. You can easily split one order for a snack. read more

I can't say if the musubi here is good compared to other musubi places since I had never had musubi before this place, but I can say that it looked really good and it was quite delicious. I got the shrimp tempura musubi. I thought it was a tad salty, and the shrimp could have been crispier, but overall it was very tasty. I liked that it had a nice amount of sauce in it, and a good amount of shrimp. The service was pretty fast, and I think the price wasn't too bad. I would definitely come back here again to try some of their other musubis! read more
Really huge musubi. It was $9.50 per musubi. It's huge though. Me and my friend shared one. It was huge for me. I'm not a big eater. But my friend ate her half very quickly. They have mostly ipad ordering tablets like 4 of them. There's also a cashier if you are paying cash. Its nice, the inside of the resto is cute! read more

I was at Tyson's with my son before going to see a movie and we wanted to grab a quick snack beforehand. Once you walk into Capital Musubi you are greeted with fun decor and kiosks to order off of. We ordered the California musubi and the fries. Unfortunately It did take them a while to prepare our order, took about a 20 minute wait. The musubi was huge and tasty but I wouldn't order the fries again. They lacked flavor and most of them were overcooked. read more
Eh nothing to write home about but the surf and turf limited special is pretty good with a good filling to rice ratio. However, it's just like a regular burger--would probably just go with the OG. The sparkling juice is too sweet. read more
We loved this place so much we picked up a hoody! My spicy salmon was actually quite spicy, so I'd probably skip the jalapeños next time. The Spam egg and cheese musubi looked amazing. The serving sizes here are surprisingly large, so being your appetite. read more

I was on the hunt for dinner fast and I ended up here. This place is a quick to serve restaurant that has Musabi and a few other Asian favorites. The decor inside the restaurant is really cute and Instagramable. a bowl with tofu and tuna, and it was just OK.. I didn't have a ton of interaction with the staff because you order your food on an iPad at a kiosk. However, when I did go up to the counter to ask a question, there were some employees eating directly behind the counter, and they were on their phones. They definitely seemed annoyed that I asked a question from a serving standpoint, it wasn't the best interaction. Overall, this place will definitely satisfy your hunger but beyond that it's just OK. read more

A supersized musubi is an option at the lower level food court in the mall; a bit pricey, but more than enough to share! We tried the Chicken and Egg Musubi. It was decent, but not as great as I expected it. The drizzle of ghost pepper ketchup added some spice to it! It comes with a significantly large portion size and it had an overwhelming amount of rice to me. You can easily place your order from their self service kiosks. It does get crowded with a long wait time when it gets busy. There are a couple tables in the dine in area and it does tend to fill up quickly. read more

Amazing musubi!!! Great selection of options and generous serving of musubi Great for a quick bite or a meal alone read more
Fast service. There are touch screen kiosks to order your food. We got two musubi combos to go so we could split the musubi: loco moco and the chicken. I foolishly forgot that the loco moco came with gravy when I ate my half. Without the gravy the musubi was mediocre, but having that gravy really added the flavor. Don't be a fool and use the gravy in the cup. We ended up using leftover gravy as a dip for French fries and making "poutine". The chicken musubi was ok but left me wanting a bit more flavor. The purple crispy rice treat (think ube Rice Krispie treat) was a favorite and I wish we had gotten another one of those instead of the roasted edamame side which was just crunch. read more
Aesthetics are great. They got me with their neon sign and bright lighting. Clean and modern inside. It was my first time trying musubi. I ordered the spicy chicken musubi and the BBQ pork steamed buns. Loved the block of rice that my spicy chicken was sandwiched in between. Found the nori a bit too fishy for me. I ended up just unwrapping the seaweed. Overall, it was the perfect amount of heat wrapped together! I always enjoy a good kick. BBQ pork steamed buns were a bit dry. I was expecting them to be filled more and was hoping for more of a savory taste. Service was quick and I like how they have the virtual kiosks that keep the lines short. I'd come back for the musubi! read more
I have heard so much about this spot so I was super excited to try it. You place your order on the tablet stands and then they call your name when it's ready. I was super indecisive because all the options seemed yummy but I ended up ordering the og tuna musubi. The place became pretty packed during the time I was there and I watched everyone pick up their orders one by one. 20 minutes had passed and I still hadn't gotten mine but apparently it didn't go through the system even though I was charged. However they were will nice enough to prepare me my order. Upon my first bite I kind of wished I had ordered another option. I thought the musubi as a whole could use more sauce but the taste definitely grew on me as I kept eating although I was also super hungry haha. Don't get me wrong the musubi was still yummy! I would come again to try another option. The only thing is that I wish the musubis contained more veggies to add a fresh balance to the large portions of protein and rice. read more

Musubis are trending in the dmv area and I was able to try the spicy tuna one. To be honest, it was too spicy for me to enjoy it. It was surprisingly fulfilling. Although it's a little pricy, it was still a fun new food o try. Will come back here to try more musubis. The place is cute, clean, and bright. It's a nice edition to the food court. Hopefully they'll last here. read more

Did not plan on eating here. The menu caught my eye and my judgement did not disappoint! I feel like you can't go wrong with musubi. Got the OG Musubi, Hawaiian Macaroni, and Chicken Donburi. Portions were massive. I feel like musubi alone can fill me up. But this has got to be my go-to spot for musubi! Not much of musubi places here in the DMV, but I have found a spot! Highly recommend checking out this spot if you have not already! read more
I'm super excited about this place and I hope they put one closer to my house. I tried a few different things and none of them disappointed! My daughter loved the spam, egg and cheese musubi. My favorite was the shrimp tempora musubi. & that ghost pepper kimichi is so good! It has a nice kick to it just the way I like. So many different options to try so I must go back lol. The serving sizes are huge, much bigger than I expected & the prices aren't bad at all. They're located on the lower level in the food court across from Charley's. read more
If we came here and just had the musubis, I would say it was a solid 4-4.5 stars. The pickled cold slaw was just bad, it tasted like soggy bland onions. The spicy chicken bowl was cold LITERALLY COLD CHICKEN and rice. It tasted like it was cooked, frozen, and then thawed. The hawaiian mac and cheese was also really bland, no cheese taste and undercooked mac. The musubi itself was good and we especially enjoyed the Loco Moco musubi. I'm down to come back and try the pork buns but will definitely be avoiding any rice bowls and sides. read more
Tried the spicy chicken musubi and it pretty good. Ordered through the kiosk and it didn't take too long to be ready. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the spicy kick was definitely there, but not unbearable. I think the rice was too hot which made the seaweed/nori harder to bite through but other than that, it was enjoyable. It's also nice that they have some seating inside so you don't have to sit in the general food court area which is usually very busy on the weekends. read more

I really wanted to like it but it was mid. Best thing was their Hawaiian style Mac and cheese. The musubi was a huge portion but unfortunately the spicy salmon flavor just wasn't that great. Their pork buns were okay. One of them was over cooked and hard as a rock on the top and their was some really fatty pieces of meat but the overall flavor was good. I did like their house sauces and thought they were good flavors. Probably won't go back but if I did I would get a different flavor of musubi. read more

Would not come back nor recommend. The double trouble musubi had rice that was so mushy that it was hard to eat and borderline inedible. The musubi became super soggy and it was not enjoyable texture-wise. The flavors were good, but I wish the musubi was executed better. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon onigiris were decent but not fresh (they sit on the pickup counter). The service was nice and quick. I wish they provided options besides the kiosks to order and that they made the kioks/waiting area flow better. It got quite cramped while ordering/waiting for our food. read more

Had the OG Musubi, and it was really good. The mac and cheese, which isn't on the board menu in the restaurant but is available on the electronic menu, was amazing! It did take a while for our order to be ready, but it was worth the wait. read more
