Murata Restaurant

"Humblingly authentic Japanese. The staff was very courteous, and extremely prompt. The food was Devine. This place is not cheap, although it's not expensive for the quality you receive. Portions are appropriate."

"Amazing experience! The squid tempura was tasty, and the sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh and satisfying. The red bean ice cream was just right, striking a perfect balance without being overly sweet. The staff were welcoming and very polite."

"On a business trip and really wanted to try sushi in Portland since I heard great things. Found Murata using google search and was walking distance from my hotel. The restaurant is popular and gets crowded so I’m glad I called ahead and made reservations. The experience and food quality and taste reminded me of my trips to Tokyo. Sushi was perfect and prices were also reasonable. Can’t wait for my next trip to visit Murata again."

"An authentic Japanese sushi-ya with super high quality ingredients and very attentive staff. I visited this place for dinner and sat at the counter. They have a wide selection of Japanese dishes on the menu but the nigiri sushi is absolutely amazing. I recommend taking a look at the board with the daily specials where you will find a wide selection of amazing seafood, including some specialty items (like Uni) brought from Japan. If you are looking for amazing food and Japanese hospitality, this is the right place for you!"

"I had an enjoyable time here. I came with my family of 4, and spent around $200 from ordering 6 dishes. I came at 5:00 and they weren't completely packed yet, but it got busy around 6:30. When I walked in, I was shocked on how beautiful the place was, it truly looks even better in person. I love the Japanese interior and style, I can tell they put a lot of effort into it. My brother kept mentioning how this place had a Japanese clean style to it. As for the food, I would rate it a 10/10. This was the best sushi I've had in my entire life, but the portions are small so keep that in mind. I think that the portion would be good for a couple, but I don't know about someone with a big appetite. The service was amazing!! Like, this place left such a huge impact in my mind because the ladies were so sweet and patient with everything. I never felt rushed, and was always comfortable whenever they would come by. They took their time to ask us even when the shop got busy. I love this place, and thank you for making this such an amazing birthday for me!"
