| - Love their lunch specials! Unlike many restaurants in town which only offer lunch specials on weekdays, Sushi Muramoto offers lunch specials all seven days of the week. Which means that if you sleep in on the weekends, you get to wake up to great Japanese-fusion food!! *yums*
Their blackened miso cod and their steak make for great items on the specials menu. I love their salad, which comes with light Japanese sweet-vinegar dressing and is topped with cornflakes. The cornflakes really add an extra crisp to the salad, so unusually perfect ~~
They serve nice sushi, but coming from Asia I have always thought that the sushi here are kind of over-priced, and to me they are luxurious items which I only order on the occasional side. With that said, though, this is one of the places where I would feel comfortable ordering sashimi because they serve high-quality food using fresh ingredients.
One more thing, calamari. I have always associated calamari with Italian restaurants, where I'd had some of the best. So I never thought a Japanese-based restaurant could re-invent calamari and make it so good!! They are fried in light batter till crispy, and served with Japanese soba and ponzu mayonaise as dips. You will not regret trying this ~~
And how can I leave out the desserts?? Go for the classic Japanese ice-cream. Black seasame, so indulgently rich. And the red bean pudding is awesome too, not too sweet, makes a nice balance to the meal.
If you go in groups they have kind of a private dining area at the back of the restaurant. Service is pretty good for the most part, though at times you have to get your waiter's attention if you need something, especially when they are busy.
