I love this place. I've been coming here for years and the food is amazing. Also the price for the food is not bad at all! If I could eat here everyday I totally would! :)
Love the food. The entertainment of it has died some over the last 2 years though. No more tossing tools in the air and your lucky to get a full show. The prices have gone insanely up and the ceiling and lamps r nasty. As much as I love the food, they should be shut down temporarily by the health dept and orderes to replace the ceiling tiles and ceiling lamps

Hibachi and Sushi only. My wife and I stopped in Musashi last night searching for something lighter and thinking it would be similar to other Japanese places that did the whole Hibachi/Sushi/Entree thing. I was actually surprised to find that they only did the Hibachi Grill and their sushi bar was somewhat of an afterthought, being used primarily to add an extra option to their dinners. What was even more surprising was the amount of smoke in the hallway and whole restaurant for that matter.
Before I get into the food, I do have to say that I agree with other reviewers in that this restaurant needs a makeover. It is very dim on the inside (which is why none of my pictures turned out) which is ok for certain ambience, but the dimness coupled with no windows creates a smaller and darker atmosphere. The fans above the hibachi grills definitely need replaced because they are extremely underpowered, allowing smoke to fill the restaurant. I'm sure my coat that I brought in is going to continue smelling like Hibachi Grill for at least 3 days.
As for the food, it is fairly simple Hibachi fare. No frills here, you can choose from chicken, steak, filet mignion, scallops, shrimp and lobster (market pricet). I've been to other Hibachi Grills where they will have something creative on the menu to stand out like calamari or salmon, but like I said, don't expect to find frills on the menu. The prices are right around the prices of other Hibachi's in town, but they'll start dinging you on extras right away if you're not careful. Want your chicken or steak to be terriyaki? Extra $. Want fried rice instead of steamed white rice? Extra $. And so on.
The Hibachi Chefs do a fairly standard song-and-dance to prepare your food. They catch your plate on fire which isn't something I have seen a these kind of places. Overall, the Hibachi chefs get the job done and get friendlier if you talk to them more. The servers, on the other hand, are either very overworked or very lazy, as our drinks continually went unfilled in excess of 5 minutes. We even had to wait a very long time to place our order.
But in the end, this place seems to have a fairly unique atmosphere combined with an above average Hibachi dinner. On top of that, there seemed to be a large amount of Asian folk at every table which proved to me that it should be good food, haha.
Not quite benihana but still good.
Always enjoyable. This place never sounds good to me and I usually have to be dragged there, but once I'm there I am never disappointed! The food is good, the show entertaining. The waitstaff is a bit lax; I think they rely on the cooks to earn their tips for them. But all in all a good overall experience.
Thumbs up.
Here's the deal.. I like it, the food is decent and the show is pretty fun but..
This place needs a makeover and some professional cleaners to get at it. It is retro to say the least and there is grease everywhere and the carpet might possibly have never been vacuumed. Also we had a server (not cook) with a fake accent which was funny and everything but also awkward. I think if they did a nice remodel or even moved to a new location they would be very busy, even after all that I would still eat there because the food is good and the bar takes you back to when Bruce Lee movies where new!
Tip: don't argue the fact that you ordered diet soda and got regular, you are WRONG!! You will drink the sugar filled soda!!
Interesting place, food was pretty good which is nice because this is a place you go to for the entertainment and experience. Not somewhere you go to every weekend but is fun on special occasions
This place is amazing! Good food and I love the show. Only problem I had: we were only given chopsticks. Kinda difficult to eat fried rice with chopsticks......
This is the only Japanese restaurant that I will eat at in CO Springs!! The food is fantastic, and the performance is entertaining. The sushi is great too!!
If you are looking for fresh and high quality food and service, look no more. The best place to get sushi as well as tepan. Love the food and service and will definately go back.
Fun and nummy. A very good teppenyaki place. Fun, great mai tais and good food. I was a little disappointed the last time I went, but in general you can count on being satisfied and having fun doing it.
Entertaining and satisfying.. This was a great place. I just went there the other night and was very pleased with the service. We were seated as soon as we walked in and it did not take them long to take our order. I will say that the food items are a tad on the pricey side, but their sushi prices are very reasonable -- all of which tasted very good and was satisfying. The cooks (who cook food right in front of you) are very entertaining and personable people. Overall, a great place to bring the family for good food and a show. Will consider coming here again.

Echoing other reviews regarding cleanliness, but the food was pretty good. Salad dressing was a little watery as if it'd been thinned out, but soup was to die for. I got musashi special which came with a small glass of okay plum wine. Good and sweet but a bit mediciney. By the end of the glass it grew on me. One thing I loved is the chef was attentive to food sensitivities, cooking the gluten free meal first on it's own then cooking the rest. Unfortunately that took a lot of time, and our entire experience was over 2 hours. He also cooked veggies separate which took no extra time and allowed people to choose what they wanted - loved that. The rice was great, and made even better by pouring the ginger sauce on top. My steak was delicious, but nothing in comparison to my partners filet mignon. Next time, I'll definitely get the filet. As for cleanliness, there IS thick grease coating the walls, ceilings, and support beams which is a big fire hazard. Bathrooms are disgusting and need updated as well as deep cleaned. Crevice next to hot grill collects old food and grease, and of course bacteria.
Loved sharing a hibachi table with other fun people! It's a great way to socialize. The chef was so fun and put on a great show. The food turned out pretty salty, and there was 4 mishaps with our seating, but once we finally got sat in the right place we were so glad! The people we met were very fun. This is a great place to try at least once. I was not impressed with the bloody Mary but i'm kind of picky about those.
This restaurant is unique. Externally you think that you will be simply enjoying food from another country. The area it is in is fairly urban so it stands out. When you walk in you are struck with how authentic the layout is to the culture. I have rarely seen such a truly authentic setup. The eating experience I did not expect. Austin our cook, was personable and professional. I highly, highly recommend this trip. It is not the cheapest, but it is a good time. Reservations are also a good idea!
Let's make few things clear, this place is not exactly up to date, super clean, and is not real good if you have a special diet (spoiler it's all cooked on one grill). If you are looking for a fun time, good service, and good food this is for you. Been here for 10+ years and has never failed me.
This is seriously the best hibachi I've ever had. And I've had a lot. The staff was super attentive & courteous, the chef was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious (very good quality). I very highly recommend you add the fried rice. I promise you won't be sorry. It's the best fried rice I've ever had. The soup at much hibachi restaurants isn't very good, but this soup was so good. I wished I'd had a second bowl. Our table ordered: Filet Mignon (I HIGHLY Recommend; super tender & great quality), Shrimp (delicious), chicken (super good), and the two sauces they provided were amazing. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more. If you're in the Colorado Springs area and you are craving hibachi, or just good quality food, you should consider Musashi.
Food was tasty. Chef was cool. Place is a little dated but cozy. Service was attentive overall. Would definitely recommend and would go again.
This place has always been on par. The food is delicious ( love the sauces! ), the chef is almost always a character and it's just all around fun.
Had the best time celebrating our daughter's birthday at Musashi. Hibachi chef was awesome, so personable. Food was great!
Our chef was excellent, we had steak, chicken, scallops, and shrimp, and the food was so tender that a baby with 4 teeth ate it.
My wife and I have been coming here for years! It is our favorite teppanyaki in the Springs and we have tried them all. Love the fried rice. The steak is always cooked to our liking. We love getting scallops. We know the place needs some updating, repairs, and heavy duty cleaning. We really hope the owner will one day invest in this because it is the biggest complaint for most people. We just try to keep our heads down and enjoy the food and not look up. There is so much over turn with the staff and they are most of the time understaffed. The folks that are there consistently need to be told what a great job they are doing and tipped generously because they are doing the job of multiple people. We appreciate Musashis and all the wonderful times we have had there!
This is my wife's favorite place , the food is always amazing , the chef was fun and good at his job . The entry way and flooring need cleaned .
The food was pretty good but our chef was even better. If you come here please ask for Jeffery. My family had the time of our life because of him. The food was very affordable and the staff was amazing.
