Many Japanese restaurants, especially ones that offer sushi, have filtered their menus through a Californian aesthetic, but not this one. True to its Japanese traditions, Murata offers the best in sushi and Asian cuisine. The superb chefs craft each roll and dish with the utmost care, bringing out the fresh flavor inherent in the seafood. Yellowtail and oysters are impeccable, and even teriyaki dishes are beautifully done. If you're feeling bold, the servers will even suggest options that Americans usually pass over but that give a more authentic sense of Japanese cuisine. Tatami rooms are available for privacy, and with 48 hours notice, the kitchen will prepare a multi-course dinner for you and your guests. One of the area's best.
