Meh.
Brought my always-discerning sushi palate to Muramoto about a week ago. Here's the deal:
$25 all you can eat sushi? It's a good deal, but only because you're getting so much bang for your buck. Stick to the rolls, because the nigiri's freshness is only so-so and the quality is pretty middling.
If I was just rating this for value? Well, it'd probably get 4 stars. This is where quantity wins over quality. Unfortunately, I glanced at their normal prices--no. No. No. No.
I don't understand how the Midwest can't get halfway-decent sushi...anywhere. But the quality of Muramoto's fish is just nothing to write home about. Salmon tasted off, mackerel was alright, and the tuna was decent. When I go for sushi and spend amounts of money like this? Well, I expect way, way more than what I got.
Takumi remains the best of the mediocre for me.
Booo, hiss, negativity and pretentiousness (that's me!)
