Reviews
We tried Murasaki Punch and it was fascinating. It had a decent amount of spirit, but I could still feel a good mix of all the ingredients. Sashimi was thick cut and professionally prepared and the rolls we tried were delicious. The miso soup was authentic and the quality of their salad was superb.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Murasaki and will look forward to visit frequently.
We definitely enjoyed this visit!
If you’re a sushi lover, definitely try their Nigiri Salmon and Tuna — super fresh, buttery, and delicious The fish quality is outstanding and melts in your mouth.
However, the ramen wasn’t as impressive — the noodles aren’t fresh and the egg was a bit overcooked Still edible, but not the highlight.
Overall, great spot for fresh nigiri, cozy vibes, and friendly service. I’d come back mainly for the sushi!
If you’re looking for a Japanese spot that feels like a neighborhood gem but serves food that could spar with the heavy hitters, Murasaki is it. Tucked away in an unassuming strip, the interior immediately pulls you in with warm wood, cozy booths, and just enough Japanese décor to remind you you’re not at another cookie-cutter sushi joint.
We tried the Spicy Pork Lunch Box, which was the kind of comfort food that makes you rethink your relationship with pork…spicy, savory, and paired with sides that made the whole box feel like a greatest-hits album. The Tuna Avocado Roll was deceptively simple but generously loaded, and when we asked for extra avocado, they didn’t blink and just layered it on like they’ve been waiting all day for that request.
The Miso Soup was classic, clean, and not just a salty afterthought like so many places serve. And then there was the Dragon Roll; presentation on point, flavor even better, the kind of roll that earns its name without needing fireworks.
Service was laid-back but attentive, the kind of staff that makes you feel welcome without hovering. Prices? Reasonable for the quality, with portions that justify the check.
Bottom line: Murasaki is not a hype machine, it’s a restaurant that quietly delivers. If you’re in the area, skip the chains and pull up here. Get the spicy pork box if you want bold flavors, and the Dragon Roll if you’re in the mood for a little sushi theater.
Waiters are kind, polite and welcoming, though hard to find at times if you decide to wait for them to check in on you.
Space was clean and inviting. Clean bathroom also.
Would eat here again.
I was impressed by the range of menu options, including a little section of vegan sushi rolls!!
They have gluten free soy sauce!!!
I had hot sake with my vegan rolls. Often I find hot sake is briefly heated in a microwave prior to serving. This is less than ideal as the heat dissipates relatively quickly and it will almost certainly not remain hot through your meal.
I honestly don’t know what methods of heating are typically used in addition to a microwave, but this was almost certainly not heated by microwave?
My sake stayed hot in the thick ceramic ramekin for the entire duration of my meal. Perhaps the stone wear was heated prior to serving? I have no idea, but it was a welcomed change on that chilly evening!!
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Most employees would check on me as they walked by, not just my server.
(This sort of team approach is admirable in an organization. It helps employees know they are not alone and overall can reduce stress, and it provides better service to the customer.)
I will be back!
Thanks!
