Murata - Portland

Incredibly unique and cute tatami rooms (reservations required). The food was quite good, with the spicy tuna roll and dinner sets being the standouts in our experience! We ordered a bit too much, as we really wanted to try everything, and nothing disappointed!

One of the finest Japanese dining experiences I’ve had outside of Japan. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Karage and tempura were marinated and fried to be perfectly crisp but tender. The salt seasoning was next level. Service was stellar. Couldn’t ask for a better birthday dinner, will be back.

We had Sushi Lunch A and Lunch combo (tonkatsu sashimi on a chill Friday noon, and the food is delicious and fresh! I love the vibe of the restaurant and of course the food, which really gives an authentic taste of Japanese cuisine. And you can have each of these with less than 30 dollars per person : Recommend to anyone who like great food, even if you never tried Japanese food before :

The freshest fish and seafood, masterfully prepared!! Traditional in the best way, with genuinely warm waitstaff. We enjoyed the fatty tuna belly (otoro), abalone tempura, salt-broiled mackerel, and a sushi set. Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you, this gem of a restaurant is a must-visit while in Portland!

Spent my birthday here with my bf! The waitresses are from Japan and they offer quality food and service. This restaurant has been here for almost 35 years it’s a bit pricy but worth a trial when it comes to some important occasions
