Adventurous for us we decided to try sushi and it was really good. Muramoto is known for its excellent sushi and they didn’t disappoint! We had the Maki Combo that has 3 different sushi rolls , chefs choice, but you can specify any ingredients you want left out or if you have any specific food allergies. A must have is the tempura appetizer though. Super delicious with a mild spiced mayo dip. Different veggies (Bell pepper strips, zucchini, carrots, cauliflower and asparagus) fried in a crispy tempura batter. Yummy. The Kimchi was good. We enjoyed the Edamame in salted shells (large serving for only $4) The Choya plum wine on the rocks is a winner too.

Great sushi quality and variety. We absolutely love coming here and the atmosphere is very modern. Only thing is that some of the tables are a little too close to each other for comfortable conversation.

Muramotto was an incredible experience.
The sushi prepared by the chef in the crisp white hat was an extraordinary display of skill and balance. Each piece revealed harmonious contrasts: the rice perfectly warm and seasoned, the fish cool, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth, with layers of flavor that lingered delightfully. Textures ranged from delicate softness to firmer bites that added satisfying interplay, while bright, clean notes danced with deep, savory umami. Every element—from seasoning to temperature to presentation—showed a level of precision and intuition that could only come from years of experience, making the meal truly unforgettable.

We went out to eat here for lunch with our baby and it was such a pleasant experience. 1. The spacing between seating is comfortable. 2. It’s a comfortable atmosphere with just the right amount of music not overtaking your voices. 3. The food was delicious, they have an interesting way of ordering, there menu is a giant board high up on the wall. I would say they really capture the taste and perfection of raw fish and sushi. They don’t have the most explosive or fancied up sushi rolls but much rather have quality than appearance. We ordered two rolls and also a teriyaki chicken plate that our 1 year old absolutely munched on. Delicious food, great service, accommodating to make your dinner/lunch comfortable . Recommend!!

This is undoubtedly the best sushi place in Madison. Their special rolls are executed well. I’ve never had anything remotely bad. Excellent, good quality sushi. Always a good experience.

The sushi here is quite fresh for Madison, WI! Service is also great. Parking directly in front of the restaurant is a bit hard, so I suggest utilizing the parking ramps or parking lots.

Celebrated my sister’s birthday here last week. Had a very nice time. The food was good, and servers were great. Tried the red bean ice cream for the first time, wow, it was so good! I probably shouldn’t be telling you all this, as it probably means less for me in the future. The boys swore by the matcha mules, neither are green tea fans, so that’s saying something. I also love getting the chefs choice from here. Check them out if you haven’t been there yet.

Rice can make or break sushi and honestly they nailed it. Perfectly cooked. We got a bunch of rolls that were all great. Appetizers we’re also super tasty to get us started. Super friendly staff, fast service, reasonable price for the quality, no complaints.
