Very good sushi and lunch set meals

Hi BluGummites!
You know this little gummy bear doesn't like to have to do this...
but Sushi Murasaki was a big disappointment
why didn't I leave when I walked in?
why didn't I leave when the two male chefs -
(who I believe are the owners from the quick BG research BG conducted)
- gave off an unwelcoming, judgmental vibes?
quite literally looking a bear up and down
why didn't I leave when salmon sashimi wasn't on the menu?
...at a SUSHI restaurant?
The only welcoming thing about the joint was the kind female server
thank you, madame
thank you for your light in an otherwise dark pit of ego, pretentiousness, and VERY average sushi
your target was eclectic-ness and uniqueness - I get it
but you missed
now, this lil bear wouldn't have been so harsh just now if those two behind the sushi bar were kind
if they gave off even an iota of warmth or gratitude that I spent my time and money in their establishment
(also... WAY too expensive)

Anyways - please do better.
Get over yourselves.
and so I've gotta give a 4 out of 10 blue gummies

Review:

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden gem of a sushi restaurant, and it was nothing short of an authentic Japanese experience. The sushi chefs here are true masters of their craft. From the moment you sit down, you're greeted with a warm smile and a few jokes that make the entire experience even more enjoyable. It's rare to find such a combination of skill and personality in a sushi bar.

The quality of the food is outstanding. Every piece is meticulously prepared, and the flavors are impeccable. The scallops were incredibly tender, and the tuna belly just melted in my mouth—easily some of the best I've ever had. Even the iced tea was a pleasant surprise, perfectly brewed and refreshing.

The restaurant itself is easily accessible, with plenty of parking available, making it convenient for anyone in the area. This is more than just a place to eat; it’s a true sushi experience that feels both traditional and welcoming. Anyone who appreciates authentic sushi would be lucky to find this spot.

Highly recommended!

Have been a few times for dinner in years past but came by with my husband for lunch on a Saturday after opening. They changed the way they do lunch a bit but it ended up working perfectly: we had their hand sushi special. The waitress who helped us was so graceful and kind, and our food came out quickly. Everything was wonderful and tasted fresh. My husband is a notoriously picky eater but loved everything we had.

Deliciously quality sushi with wonderful service. I have been at this place for more than 20 hrs. A bit expensive nowadays because they only offers omasake. Worth a treat once a while, not like old days where I stopped by once very couple weeks.

Came here for lunch with my colleagues. They only offer chirashi $38 or 12 pieces of nigiri sushi platter $40 for lunch, there are no bentos if that’s what you are looking for. Just simple sushi. We all got the sushi platter. Everyone enjoyed the quality. I do enjoy the dinner time omakase better since you are able to enjoy one piece at a time versus all on the platter. Overall, great sushi and service.

Brilliantly and uniquely seasoned and sauced, if you haven't had their Omakase you haven't really eaten sushi. They serve a joyous meal here every time.
