    Party Boat.
    Stephanie J.

    My family and I have been coming here for years. Our old neighbors first introduced us to it and we've been going ever since. This is one of the best sushi restaurants in town IMO. Fish is very fresh, staff is very friendly, service is always great. Setting is very intimate. My husband and my two sons like to come here for birthday celebrations and we always get the sushi boat to share.

    Aww man. I'm so mad that all I took a picture of was my miso soup. Happy AAPI Heritage Month you guys! I'm very thankful for the contributions of this amazing community and all of the cultures that make up AAPI heritage and how they make our cities, towns, states and nation a more vibrant and wonderful place to live. To celebrate, my colleagues and I had lunch at Musasi. The food was very tasty and the service was very quick. The interior of this restaurant is very cozy and authentic. It's nestled in Hampton's historic downtown area, so while enjoying lunch here, you can also take a walk through Queens Way and enjoy some other great businesses or the lovely waterfront. My sushi was very fresh. I got the California roll and the spicy tuna roll. The slices were a nice size and they give you a good portion of food. The house salad and miso soup were also very flavorful and satisfying.

    Nice quaint restaurant nestled in downtown Hampton. Some of the freshest sushi I've had here in a while. I shared spicy tuna roll, California rook and shrimp tempura and although all was good my favorite was the tuna roll. I also tried the pan fried gyoza...one word BOMB! make sure you get that it had the perfect crisp and taste and the dipping sauce was perfect. The kalbi as the main course was disappointing though... it was overpriced and had no flavor, very bland would not recommend of try again. The service was decent nothing spectacular. All in all I'd rate it a 7.5/ 10

    Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box
    June J.

    It's been a very long time since I've been to Musasi but it's still a good choice for a quick lunch in downtown Hampton. We were seated immediately and our orders were taken promptly. I ordered a bento box. Miso soup came with it and it was as expected. But honestly, I forgot how tasty the salmon teriyaki is. It's cooked really well and the other box contents complement the entree well. My husband ordered the sushi and sashimi combo and seemed pleased. 4 Stars! This could have been 3 or 4. It's an oldie but goodie, but part of the restaurant did feel quite old. Overall the food was good and the salmon pushed me to 4. Service was quick and friendly as well.

    We came here on Valentine's day and it was packed! It was about at least a 40min wait after ordering but that was expected as they were short on staff like most other businesses. Besides the wait time, the sushi was quality! This place has been in business for 25 years now and I would definitely come back here to dine on a less busy day! Ambiance was nice and quaint. My favorite rolls were the Hot Seoul roll and salmon roll. They did not skimp on the yellowtail roll either. I did not favor the volcano roll as much as I thought I would have. The fried tofu was great but at the price of an appetizer, I would have ordered another sushi roll. Bottom line, this a solid sushi restaurant that won't disappoint you. Definitely go on a weekday or expect wait time during dinner weekend time frame!

    Combo deliciousness for the husband and my mom in law!

    Birthday dinner success! Delicious food with a comfortable atmosphere. Toddler friendly, too! Glad we finally made it here!

    First be aware of split hours if you're contemplating a late lunch. Last time: Special grilled squid was excellent, and we both had noodle soups on a cold rainy day. Bill was over $40 This time Sunomono and two pieces os sushi-and bill is $30. Food is good, seafood fresh. However, for the price I feel like the old Wendy's ad...now that I've had an expensive, minimal meal, I've got to stop and get something to fill up with.

    I've walked past this restaurant too many times and not stepped in...Today, I am very glad I broke that habit. Such a lovely little sushi house and service that kept me smiling, and happily feasting on delicious sashimi. One of my absolute favorites was the Spicy Tako. Served in a beautifully carved, and delicate cucumber shell...this delicious morsel was the epitome of healthy. It was good enough....that I ordered it twice. ;) I love sushi and I LOVE Korean food...Lucky for me, this place serves BOTH! Menu: sushi, Korean, Japanese Service: excellent Cleanliness: very clean Ambiance: casual to semicasual Seating: limited seating; 8 sushi bar seats, a few 4 person tables, a couple two person tables and if you have a large group of 6 people call to make sure there is room. Again, this is a small sushi house so be patient...it is worth the wait.

Parking is a bit of a tricky situation, but if you park over at Barnes and Noble or JC Penny, you can walk over pretty easily. I came with my youngest, and he's a dumpling FIEND. Been known to destroy at least four plates of dumplings in a sitting, so it's totally worth the AYCE approach. I usually don't get my money's worth in these types of spots because they often won't let you take any additional leftovers home. So I've become pretty careful about my orders. What this place had going for it -- the portions were MUCH larger than I expected from my prior experiences at AYCE places. The sushi roll I expected maybe 4-6 smallish pieces, and I got 8 pretty large pieces. The nigiri was okay - not the best quality fish, but it was edible and fresh. The round of appetizers we got was hit or miss -- the tempura was DELICIOUS. The wontons were eh. And the dumplings were okay -- my only beef with that was...the beef! There are no pork dumplings on the menu, which is weird since gyoza is traditionally pork based. The beef ones were okay though - both steamed and fried (we tried both). In all, we got out of there with about a $50 tab for one adult and one kid -- and the waitress was kind enough to let us take some of the food home since I was surprised by the sizes of the servings. Overall, I'd put this at a solid 3 1/2 stars.

Located right next to the Hampton Roads Coliseum, it's the perfect spot if you're in the area for an event. I went with two of my girls, and we had such a great time from start to finish. Our chef was so much fun -- exactly what you want from a hibachi experience. He kept us entertained the whole time, and the energy at the table just made the night even better. I ordered the filet with hibachi rice, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, flavorful, and the rice was just as good as I remembered (honestly, that hibachi rice always hits ). Portions were generous too -- I ended up taking half my meal home, and it reheated really well the next day, which was a huge plus. Between the fun atmosphere, great service, and really solid food, this is definitely a spot I would go back to -- especially if I'm in the Coliseum area again. Honestly, I just wish I had a place like this closer to home because it was that good.

My best friend and I visited Sunday 9/6, and for the first time ever, we were charged a mandatory gratuity fee. No one explained the fee, and it was not something we had ever encountered during our years of patronage. What made this especially concerning was that we are people of color and were seated with another party of color, and the entire table was assessed this fee. Meanwhile, the table next to us was not. That raises a very uncomfortable question: Why were we treated differently? I am not accusing anyone of something I cannot prove, but I absolutely cannot ignore how the situation looked and, more importantly, how it made us feel. It felt insulting, degrading, and as though we were being singled out. If there is a legitimate policy requiring this fee, it should be consistently applied to every customer and clearly communicated before the bill arrives. I spent years working in the food industry, so I understand tipping and the realities of restaurant work. We tip when we dine out. What I do not appreciate is being unexpectedly charged a mandatory fee without explanation, particularly when it appears that the policy was not being applied consistently. I have already shared this experience with my network, and everyone I have spoken with has been equally shocked. After years of supporting this business, we will be taking our money elsewhere. Customer service should make people feel welcomed, not watched, singled out, or unwelcome. Unfortunately, that is exactly how this experience left us feeling.

This place used to be called Yuma Sushi, which I reviewed nicely, but I never thought things would change so much with just a name change. Now, the restaurant's decor is very nice, but the so-called hostess didn't seem to please seat us. On top of that, she sat us at a table right in front of the open kitchen, dropped some menus on the table, and walked away. So the greeting was not lovely, and we were the only ones there. The restaurant had a musky smell to it, which I found out later to be the remaining booth. Now, the menu items are ala carte, dinner items, and combination meals--and very expensive. I needed help deciding and figuring out how the combinations work, so I settled for the chicken ramen and some fried sushi, which I regret getting. My wife had this chicken stir-fry, something she seems to like but wouldn't miss if she never had it again. I must say that the Sapparo beer I had was good and cold. The ramen was not favorable at all, and that musky smell in the air was the broth. The fried egg roll had a coating that tasted like peas, and I hate peas--but I managed to eat it anyway because I would have left there hungry. I just could not stomach that chicken ramen; it was just bad. There was no taste or seasoning. While waiting for our food, I read reviews on Yelp of the place. The server heard it. When she came over to collect our dishes after we ate, she rudely told me how clean the restaurant was; I asked her why she was yelling at me. She says I'm not yelling; I'm just telling you (she was yelling at me). Slams the check down, takes the rest of our dishes, and walks away. I was surprised my wife didn't go into defense mode, but she felt bad for the place because no one was coming in there. The total for that mess was $76.23. I did not return the rudeness to this server, but I paid for the meal anyway, and I wish I hadn't. Never pay for lousy service, and never go to this place; it's just wrong. Happy Yelping.
