Restaurant Murata Restaurant Review

: Restaurant Murata is about as far from a conveyor belt sushi joint as a high-end steakhouse is from McDonald's. So while it's more expensive than many Japanese places around town, the quality of ingredients and attention-to-detail justifies the price, and the kimono-clad waitresses couldn't be more gracious. Snag a spot at the sushi bar if you’re looking for entertainment; watching the master chefs is a show. Otherwise, reserve a private tatami room for a menu sampling. We recommend the fresh sushi and sashimi as well as the lacy tempura and soft-shell crabs. Murata’s location close to the Keller Auditorium makes this a fine choice for a pre-show dinner.
