Why Musashi Japanese Restaurant Might Just Be Charlotte's Hidden Gem for Japanese Food

If you're craving authentic Japanese cuisine, Musashi Japanese Restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment you step through the door, you're transported straight to a cozy family restaurant in Japan. The freshly fried vegetable tempura and comforting beef tofu are my go-to dishes, especially on chilly days. While their ramen is decent, I find myself leaning towards the udon set meal for a more satisfying experience. The sushi quality can be hit or miss, but the authenticity shines through in dishes like the tonkatsu, which is quite respectable.

The restaurant does get busy, often requiring a wait to be seated, but it's worth it. The atmosphere is genuinely Japanese, complete with food sample displays at the front, reminiscent of many eateries in Japan. The staff, including some native Japanese, are friendly and add to the authentic vibe. Although the sushi options in the 'Set B Lunch' might need some improvement, the overall experience keeps me coming back. It's a gem in Charlotte that holds its own charm, and I'm always excited to return and see what else they have to offer.
