The food here is good, not great, very ordinary (didn't have the sushi, just teppan). The chef did not do much to entertain at all accept flip an egg and make a volcano (they all do that). I've seen much more entertaining teppan chefs. I asked about the teryaki steak that used to be on the menu, the waitress said to ask the chef for some teryaki sauce. There were two people (kids) having steak and the other kid wanted some too. They brought two bowls of sauce. That was considered a side order and we were charged $3 for two "side orders" of which we used about a tablespoon full. We were asked if we wanted fried rice or steamed rice to go along with our meal (the least expensive of which was $20 the most, $32) no mention of the $2.50 extra charge per bowl. We told the hostess that it was the little girl's birthday and she said they had tempura ice cream. They brought one to the table and sang happy birthday when our dinner was finished. Then they charged us $5.50 for the dessert we didn't order. When I confronted the manager about the extra charges for the sauce and the dessert (forget the rice) he agreed with me about the dessert, but told he told me the sauce was on the menu as a side order. I said, "We have a $250 bill and you are going to charge me $3 extra for sauce!" He didn't care. Then the waitress came and told us they were still charging us for the dessert because she told us about it and we said "OK". I have never been charged by a restaurant that sends you a dessert to thank you for celebrating your birthday at their restaurant. Well, ok, we will never go back there again. They can take their sauce and dessert and you know what with them. There are other better teppan restaurants in town and they would appreciate our business. Oh, for their great service they gave themselves an 18% tip! It could have been 20% if they had just told us about all the extra charges!

The food at Musashi is not bad. In fact, for the valley, it has pretty good sushi, and the teppan is always entertaining. However, women, if you come with a man, be prepared to be ignored. I never noticed this before because I would go with my women friends. However, during the past several times I have gone with men, or with a mixed group of men and women, and the male wait staff only greet the men, and even "kiss up" to the men, and ignore the women. The male wait staff happen to be Japanese and speak broken English, so it may be a cultural thing.

One of the better Teppan Grills I have been to. Prices are reasonable, especially for the amount of food they serve you.

Musashi is a great place for parties. The sushi is good, the chefs do cool tricks, plus you can get hot saki and go for the bomb! Never had a reservations problem.

Very good food, more than most places like it, but the reservation's process is a joke, it's really first come first serve, unless you have a party of 10+ people. Don't order the sides of sauce for an extra charge.
