Murakami Sushi - Sushi restaurant in Los Angeles - 7160 Melrose Ave, USA

Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar at Murakami. My fiancée and I stopped by for dinner tonight and had the chance to meet a kind and talented sushi chef named Taro. Taro completely blew our minds by recommending fish we’d never tried before and preparing it in exquisite detail. We’ve never had a sushi experience like this before. The flavors were extraordinary and the service was delightful, with staff who clearly love what they do and made us feel right at home in the restaurant. Thank you Taro and team for an incredible meal. We can’t wait to come back!

Murakami is our go to local sushi LA restaurant! Nothing beats the quality and the service. We found this through a Google search and we have never looked back. Every time we come it never disappoints. It's not as big as your usual chain sushi place, it's smaller and personable! The setting is quaint and good for first dates and group of friends! There is a sushi bar in the middle, and they do have a small patio outdoor seating. The dishes and the sushi chefs are your local Rockstars! The waiting and seating staff is amazing too everyone is so kind and they care. You can tell by the quality of the fish from each bite. Our go too and recommendations our: I love the OMG roll as a cut roll And if you love crispy rice I recommend that, I get the spicy tuna on top. Shishito, and Karage they have killer fried chicken! Spicy tuna in general the best, as a hand roll lover or as cut pieces you aren't missing out, both amazing!

Preface: definitely a sushi critic. Found this gem in Weho. We weren’t expecting much as it’s difficult to find amazing sushi at reasonable prices…Boy were we wrong! We were blown away by the Omakase, chef Taro may be one of the best Omakase chefs in LA. And I’m not one to give out credit lightly. If you really enjoy sushi, specifically high quality fish, a place that knows the best fish during each season this is your place! Owner is amazing, she sometimes uses her multi generational family antique dishes. Also the staff is very welcoming, and on top of everything! You can feel the amount and effort and care that goes into this place. Can’t recommend more. Very underrated place.

Excellent sushi and service! The lemon salmon roll was fantastic! The half shell ponzu oysters were yummy, and the sashimi amazing! The cuts of fish were perfect and tasted fresh

This sushi spot is absolutely worth the traffic and annoying parking meters. The food is absolutely amazing and filling. The staff is friendly and cheerful as well as professional and polite. I would 100% come here every week if i could!

Fantastic Omakase experience. Head chief, Mr Sato, served great entertained sashimi and sushi. All is great. I really love here. Of course I’ll come back.

The best sushi I’ve had in California. The sashimi was so fresh. Good food, alongside good service and atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone debating on where to go for a good quality meal in the area.

Our new go to local sushi spot in the area. Fresh and flavorful sushi and really attentive friendly service. The Melrose and black cod sushi were our favorite picks and we look forward to trying more of the menu on future visits!
