dinner @ Murasaki Sushi Bar

As soon as I took one bite of the sashimi, I knew it was over…

Oh my. What happened?

I haven’t been to Murasaki Sushi Bar for a while, but I remembered it being very good. In my book, Very Good for a sushi bar = fresh sashimi, good-sized portions, and yummy food.

We recently went back and it was…Bad. Yes, I am not going to sugar coat it. It’s bad and I am not happy about our experience and I won’t make up words to soften the blow.

Bad = Bad sashimi = funny tasting salmon sashimi + tiny portion sizes + other okay food for $$.

I am not satisfy and won’t go back again.

Here’s what we had:

Kirin beer (good)
Chicken yakitori (good and you get three sticks)
Futomaki (okay)
Sashimi platter of yellow tail and salmon (bad)

The yellow tail was okay, sliced to proportion and tasted okay, but it’s really the salmon sashimi I have an issue with and really…is that what most people like? So the salmon sashimi tasted slightly salty to me which means that it probably sat in a brine which means not as fresh. Hm, next thing is that I noticed that the portion size of the salmon sashimi is ultra small like someone took a knife and cut one normal portion-sized piece into 2 or 3 slices. Ridiculous.
