Wow. Was not expecting good sushi in the middle of nowhere (for me). Yellow tail was fresh and delicious! Salmon could have been better. Tuffer cut. Spider roll was great. Green tea was excellent. read more

The people are really nice here, but the food we had was just okay. My partner got the hibachi steak and shrimp, which came with grilled veggies and fried rice. The shrimp was well cooked and tender, but the steak was tough. The veggies were a nice addition. I got the Island Roll, which was somehow very greasy. I think the cooked tuna on top maybe melted the mayo sauce, but the flavor overwhelmed everything else and it just tasted very greasy and left a pool of oil at the bottom of the plate. read more

Musashi - Island roll, Hibachi steak and shrimp - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

BLUF: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent sushi, friendly staff, and a clean restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd consider this one of my top 3 sushi restaurants. I got a California Roll, a Pacific Roll, and a Shrimp Crunchy Roll. The Shrimp Crunchy roll had cream cheese, which I'd never had before, and I was surprised at how much it enhanced the flavor. The Pacific Roll is my new favorite roll of all time, and though pricy, it is worth the money and filling! My only gripe is that the iced tea didn't taste freshly brewed and is likely store-bought or commercially distributed. This isn't even a complaint; it's just an FYI if you are a tea person. I am in the area for the week and will return at least once for more sushi. read more

We highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had the lunch with sushi and it was delicious. I will definitely be headed back. The Unagi was amazing and I love that. It's fairly close to my house and it's close to my doctors. My only complaint is I went there on a Monday and they weren't there. Totally on me. I should've realized it was Monday. Can't wait to go back. read more

The food wasn't horrible but definitely not anything spectacular. It was literally just fine. But the service... I don't know. I don't know if she was just young? VERY inexperienced? I just don't know. I literally had noodles hanging out of my mouth, mid slurp, when she asked me if I wanted a to go container. I mean, seriously? Obviously, I'm still working on it. Lol! They do have a lot for parking. read more

The California rolls are excellent. We love them. The Yaki Soba was also very good. However, the Indiana roll was a joke. It consisted of 8 pieces of rice with hot sauce .......for $18? Basically no seafood? What's that about? read more

It's one of the better sushi places, in my opinion, in the area! The service is always great, our server Dylan was very attentive to us and made sure we were taken care of! I enjoy the nice quiet, low-key atmosphere.They have a different variety of sushi compared to other sushi restaurants in the area. It was refreshing to try new rolls! I would normally order Chinese dragon rolls and black dragon rolls when I'd crave sushi. Musashi had neither or not what I was quite looking for, but sometimes we find diamonds when searching for gold! I absolutely enjoyed the Musashi roll and eel tempura roll! Being a resident of Chesterton, it's nice to have a sushi place nearby instead of having to travel 15 minutes away. read more

I went here when it first opened around 2016. A classic go-to for me was the Beef Yakisoba. I remember it tasting pretty authentic. Had a bold rich flavor with the meat and veggies. In 2021, I got the Beef Yakisoba again... It was so bland. There was no thick sauce, no carrots which are main stables in yakisoba. The yakisoba lacked flavor. Any flavor at all came from the bitter bean sprouts. I was hoping this year would change that. I got the Shrimp Yakisoba to switch it up. I asked for them to put Yakisoba sauce on the side. No, it still is very bland with little to no flavor. The Yakisoba sauce didn't do much to save it. I'm glad I had enough Asian sauces at home to flavor it myself. Now, why the two stars if I hated the Yakisoba? Well their sushi is really good. I have no problem with that. It tastes extra fresh. First time, I got the salmon, eel and to be adventurous, octopus. All were excellent. Last time I went I got the Richie roll. Nothing beats the flavor of unagi sauce. Lastly, the other dishes I tried here was their Chicken Teriyaki Hibachi with fried rice and the house soup. The chicken had the typical sweet and savory flavor you get in teriyaki. But I felt like the rice needed some extra time to cook as it was quite dry. The house soup just french onion soup. It good if you want a familiar taste but I highly recommend the miso soup for that authentic Japanese flavor. Overall, highly recommend coming here for their sushi and having some miso soup on the side. read more

Yes the food is good it's actually pretty great sometimes but the staff are not nice. I've never eaten in, only gotten takeout. The way the staff is doing takeout not sure I could handle them during a meal inside. Don't order edamame it's usually not a very large portion and no salt. Everything else is really tasty. We always get sushi and occasionally get hibachi. read more

WELL staffed for a Friday night!! 1 guy on hibachi, 2 more on sushi & assembly, and 4 servers for a small room and takeout orders. Our sake/soup/tempura/sushi came out super fast, fresh & delicious! Also located super close to the highway--so glad to find this alternative to fast food when we're driving up 94. We will be back for sure. read more

Good food, service and food selection. I needed a quick order to take back to the ER and they were able to do it.

Very tasty food in a comfortable space. Service was attentive and friendly. The hibachi food was so fresh and hot when it reached out. The crab pop roll was delicious!!!! Also their Goyza was one of the best we've had. read more

Musashi - D10. Hibachi Filet Mignon & Shrimp Dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

Good, solid sushi place. My sister and I were in town for the weekend. We were not too hungry for dinner and sushi was calling our names. We each got appetizer salad with ginger dressing, Then we shared a spicy tuna roll and dragon roll. The sushi hit the spot and service was good! We ate so fast, I forgot to take pictures! (I guess we were hungrier than we thought...) read more

Fantastic little sushi/hibachi spot! My friend and I meet about once a month and this is our favorite place to go.

Tried this place for the first time on a Friday. Ordered to go spicy tuna roll, hibachi salmon for kids, and pad Thai with shrimp. To eat while waiting i ordered the yellowtail nigiri and shrimp and vegetable tempura. To start with I normally don't expect fresh fish out in these parts but this was pretty fresh, well cut and very tasteful. The shrimp and veggie Tempura was good, wasn't oily and but breaded heavily. The rest of the food I took home for the family. The spicy tuna roll was surprisingly as delicious as the nigiri. The kids hibachi salmon was ok from what my daughter told me. The pad Thai wasn't that great, it lacked a lot of veggies. For the pad Thai I wasn't expecting much. Normally when an Asian spot sells sushi and Thai food and the restaurant has a sushi bar then the Thai food is usually secondary. I only ordered the pad Thai because I was avoiding meat that day (lent) and I knew sushi would not be enough. Overall the sushi was great, stay away from non Japanese cuisine. I will come back to give the hibachi stuff a better try. read more

Good hibachi food. Chicken or Filet. Good flavor for each. You can watch the cooks if you want to. The fried rice is real good. They give a lot of rice. The dipping sauces are soy andYum Yum. Their spring rolls are good . The red sauce tasted good. It is cramped in the restaurant with on 3 or 4 tables. Hostess is real nice. Wait staff are on the ball with refills. It is a good place to get carry out. read more

Went there, had a good dinner... daughter left her iPad and imagine that they took it. Fuck this place.

Amazing food and always hospitable staff! This is our go to for hibachi and the sushi is also on point!

Very good sushi, beautiful presentation and the flavors were great! We had the Ocean, Dragon and Shrimp tempura, they were all very good.

Great sushi. Very small restaurant. Hibachi food was very good too Fried rice was just ok, but all other food was good!

The sushi was delicious! But the service was sloooowwww. We waited a very long time for 4 rolls to come out, and even then, two rolls came out first and we had to wait 10 minutes for our next plate to come out. I've been to places where if I waited 10 minutes for another plate to come out they gave it to me for free. I'm giving this place three stars because the sushi was pretty good. My friend and I loved the autumn lemon roll!! read more

Love this place. It's been a lot of different restaurants and from the looks, the food, and the customer reception it will be here for awhile My recommendation is to have a sushi tasting night on your slow night. A one price per person and you get a piece of everything. A piece of paper with all of them listed and you can mark down your new favorites. When I come here, I want to try so many but can't order the whole menu. Another suggestion is to have a Facebook page. read more

As a avid sushi fan, this Restaraunt remains to be one of my favorites. They cater to my shellfish allergy. The sushi is perfectly rolled and fresh. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It is nice to be served by a family owned business. It is a great feeling when the owner recognizes me and welcomes me personally. read more

The food was good until I found a 6 inch black hair (I'm blonde) wrapped around two pieces of my sushi. The restaurant was quiet and I didn't want to make a scene so I discreetly told our waitress. She still charged me for the roll even though the hair clearly wasn't mine. I will add that I didn't check the bill before handing her my card because I just wanted to leave so it might partially be my fault for not speaking up but I assumed I wouldn't have to pay for food that contained other people's hair. read more

I'm so happy that NW Indiana has finally started getting some good Japanese food. For years it was a dessert out here. This place is a good. The food is cared about and the value is excellent. I'll often come for lunch and their special rolls, sushi or hibachi is wonderful. The decor is simple and the staff are welcoming, attentive, and friendly. read more

This is a very small place. Food is good not great. Hibachi is pathetic. The hibachi is cooked in the kitchen and you don't get enough food. Fried ice cream was the best thing. read more

Have gone back several times now. They have upped their game. Nigiri and rolls are good and the fish is fresh. Good quality for Indiana.

Here you'll find a variety of sushi sauces and dressings that you will fall in love with! Their sushi is good and is fresh, they only downside to it is the price for the amount your getting. If you'r hungry it wont do it. Great place to take her on a date tho. read more

Okay, so, first off we did have a little bit of a wait being seated. It was about a 15-20minute wait because the place was packed with people. I am so glad we waited, too. We started off with the Gyoza as an appetizer which is a fried pork dumpling. It was pretty great and so was the Miso soup. For an entree I decided on the Chicago roll and spicy tuna rolls. Both of these were so well worth the wait. Typically, when I want sushi I have to go to town and country or the local Strack's while they do have some pretty good, reasonably priced sushi made by sushi chefs on sight, this was even better. Husband got the rib eye hibachi. That steak was melt in your mouth delicious. He is a man from Texas and as a Texan he loves his steak probably more than his wife. This brought a very manly tear to his eye. I know we are going to drop a pretty penny here but it is definitely worth the money and the wait for some hella delicious food. read more

Based on food quality and value, this would be a 4 star sushi place almost anywhere in the country. Because it's in suburban NW Indiana which is normally a deadzone of cuisine, and conveniently located right off the highway on the way from Chicago into Michigan - it arguably deserves five stars. read more

I was visiting a friend from out of town and we were looking for a local place to get sushi. After reading reviews, we decided to go here and I ordered a California roll, miso soup, edamame and hot tea. My friend ordered one of the speciality rolls (that I'm forgetting the name of now). The miso soup was average but was nothing to write home about. The edamame came out on a very small plate (which is unusual for edamame) and it was also average. The sushi however was when things went completely downhill. The "sushi" was chewy, tasted old and overall, lacked taste. For the record, we both ordered "spicy" rolls which normally hides the taste of bad fish but this was not the case! We both were unable to finish the roll we ordered even though we were starving! We ended up grabbing food elsewhere. I understand that Michigan isn't know for their sushi and I'm used to eating mediocre sushi but this was not good. The only thing that we enjoyed here was the hot tea which was splendid. Their sushi is not something I would recommend. read more

I'm a big fan of hibachi style food, but the cost of places like House of Kobe or BC Osaka makes it not something I can enjoy often. There used to be a small place in Merrillville called Ichibans-but they closed. Lo and behold my shock when I discovered Musashi. The food is excellent, and no more expensive than any other dine in restaurant. It is very small, but that's fine. I'll keep coming back for the great service and great food. read more
