Sushi Murasaki

This is our favorite sushi spot in all of Southern California. They have the freshest fish and all the best ingredients. Their omakase is such a hit, honestly their fish is better than what we had in Japan. 10/10 recommend, the staff are all super nice as well!

Amazing omakase sushi! If you are looking for rolls, spicy tuna, AYCE or sushi smothered in wasabi mayo and sriracha, this is not the place for you. On the other hand, if you want authentic onigiri sushi made with the freshest fish from Japan, this is your spot! We went on a Tuesday night and it was very quiet, but the sushi was very fresh, exquisitely prepared, and each piece made to order. If you sit at the bar it is omakase only, and I highly recommend it. Chef Dai-san quietly works his magic and you won’t be disappointed.

Our very favorite omakase spot. The nigiri is consistently good (fresh and springy as my husband would put it) and all the staff is so kind and wonderful. The two japanese chefs (and I think owners?) know their craft. I've taken a few people here and they all love it. We're not from the area but every time we visit so cal, this is one of our go-to spots because of the quality of food and the prices are so reasonable ($95 for 10 pieces, $115 for 12 pieces, or $135 for 8 pieces and 6 appetizers). Drinks are also really spot on. Make a reservation and ask to sit at the bar so you can enjoy omakase. Can't wait to return.

This is a great, underrated omakase spot in OC and has been around a long time. It is traditional, unpretentious, and almost nostalgic in a way compared to the many overpriced trend-chasing omakase restaurants that have cropped up in recent years. I found the quality and freshness of the fish to be excellent, and I enjoyed their effective use of torching to get a nice savory charred flavor on some of the pieces. The garnishes and seasonings used were fresh and flavorful without overpowering the delicate seafood -- scallion soy oil, ginger paste, seasoned salt, and of course the fancier caviar and shaved truffle featured on our 12-piece omakase, complementing each item without overdoing it. The accompanying puffed rice soup (served in a teacup) had no business being as good as it was. Prices were reasonable given the quality, beer and sake selection was good, and service was attentive and friendly. Parking was plentiful. Overall, a classic and comfy omakase experience worth experiencing -- these folks deserve your support.

Great place to get some high quality sushi Omakase style. The price is good for the quality that you get. The appetizers are excellent as well. We got the salmon skin salad, fried octopus and the highlight would be the soft shell crab.
