Editorial Review for Restaurant Murata – by May Wong
In Short
The space is a picture of Zen-like simplicity. The dining area includes a handful of tables, a sushi bar and three tatami rooms. Old-school touches reveals sushi as both art and tradition, with beautiful results. Salmon miso poured over rice speaks of a wholesome, peasant origin. Beef or seafood nabe ladled from hot pots is hefty and satisfying. Sushi and sashimi choices include marbled toro and fresh hamachi, both featuring distinctive cuts.

I haven't had any vacation in past 30 years, and my old business partner invited me to US from Japan for my retirement anniversary . My friend asked me to try Japanese foods in the US, and we went to this restaurant. To be honest, this restaurant is not acceptable customer service at all. 1) We used a Tatami room, and waited 20 minutes for menu to come. 2) We ordered some sushi and dinner meals, and the waitresses forgot to serve an appetizer, and came after the dessert. 3) Bring the bill before the dessert. 4) No customer service except order, bring foods, and bills. 4) As I was a business man traveling around in the world, and as a Japanese customer, this restaurant should not be represented as a Japanese food restaurant. I went to several Japanese restaurant in the following weeks in Portland. This place is the worst ever in the US. I am writing this here because they should have had a good customer service and we would like to keep the quality of Japanese restaurant with both foods and customer service.
Pros: not authentic foods at all
Cons: Bad customer service

fresh sushi, creative apps, Kimono wearing waitress at dinner time. Great place to go to for good authentic japanese food. Their rice soup is one of the best in town.
