In Short – Blond wood tones, soft hanging lights and orange textured wallpaper visually link the separate bar, dining and tatami rooms. The crowd is as varied as the menu: Businesspeople sip sake at the bar while families and groups fill the cream leather booths and white-linen covered tables in the main area. The menu features everything from full-sized entrees and sashimi/maki combos to Kobe beef carpaccio and calamari salad served with garden greens and Japanese mountain vegetables.

Forget about the "Buy 1, get second one at 1/2 price" deal
by EnjoysGreatFood at Citysearch
The first time I went there, I was given a table in a dark area; I asked about being seated outside, but they did not want to do that, in spite of the fact that they could have combined 2 adjacent tables for a party of 4. I guess no big deal.
I went there recently (second time) and was trying to take advantage of their buy one, get the second one at 1/2 price deal. We ordered many $13/$11 suschi orders, and several orders at the $5/$4 level. I was expecting that if you bought a $13 suschi order, they would give you the next lowest one ($11) at 1/2 the price. Guess what? The cheapest one, at $4, was the one where the discount applied. This was clearly not explained to us in this way when we ordered! I don't mind paying for good food, but I don't like to feel cheated at the end. Would our party have assumed differently, we would have ordered differently. I would not have minded either being being told upfront how the deal worked. When the issue was brought up, they did not offer to review the discounts. This is deceptive
Given that my first two experiences left me with a bad taste, I do not plan to go back - there are many other good restaurants in the area.
- Pros: The food is good
- Cons: The free deals are deceptive!

Great Food, Great Service!

I dined for the first time at Mura just last week. The food was amazing, and the plates were beautifully designed with carrot butterflies, and flower tomatoes. The server was attentive and knowledgable. Overall, I had a great experience and will be back.
- Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere

Good sushi joint
by YungN at Citysearch
I am very picky about sushi and have had bad experiences elsewhere. I was happy to find a new place for good sushi. Fresh fish is good here, and the sake list was more than most carry. The Can sake was the best I've ever had, if you like cold sakes you have to try it. I did have to wait to be seated at the sushi bar, which should be first come first serve, Besides that was great all around.
- Pros: Knowledgeable servers, nice atmosphere, great food
- Cons: Can't sit down at sushi bar without hostess
