Deliciously quality sushi with wonderful service. I have been at this place for more than 20 hrs. A bit expensive nowadays because they only offers omasake. Worth a treat once a while, not like old days where I stopped by once very couple weeks.

Came here for lunch with my colleagues. They only offer chirashi $38 or 12 pieces of nigiri sushi platter $40 for lunch, there are no bentos if that’s what you are looking for. Just simple sushi. We all got the sushi platter. Everyone enjoyed the quality. I do enjoy the dinner time omakase better since you are able to enjoy one piece at a time versus all on the platter. Overall, great sushi and service.

Brilliantly and uniquely seasoned and sauced, if you haven't had their Omakase you haven't really eaten sushi. They serve a joyous meal here every time.
This is a great, underrated omakase spot in OC and has been around a long time. It is traditional, unpretentious, and almost nostalgic in a way compared to the many overpriced trend-chasing omakase restaurants that have cropped up in recent years. I found the quality and freshness of the fish to be excellent, and I enjoyed their effective use of torching to get a nice savory charred flavor on some of the pieces. The garnishes and seasonings used were fresh and flavorful without overpowering the delicate seafood -- scallion soy oil, ginger paste, seasoned salt, and of course the fancier caviar and shaved truffle featured on our 12-piece omakase, complementing each item without overdoing it. The accompanying puffed rice soup (served in a teacup) had no business being as good as it was. Prices were reasonable given the quality, beer and sake selection was good, and service was attentive and friendly. Parking was plentiful. Overall, a classic and comfy omakase experience worth experiencing -- these folks deserve your support.

One of the best sushi restaurants in Orange County! Excellent service with a delicious omakase selection.They no longer have the wagyu as part of their omakase selection, but it can be ordered as a side.

Same day, every year, annual tradition, happy anniversary go to place. Omakase, sake, beer,nato hand roll, spicy tuna roll, because we wanted more NORI, the best you can get in SoCal, just melts in your mouth, rice to perfection, grain by grain,must go to sushi place in Santa Ana/Costa Mesa area, great vibe, Sushi Chef Tony was extremely pleasant, everyone's service was 5* top notch!
Great find! Can't believe the quality - we just happened upon this place and it more than delivered. The selection was unique and so fresh! Was very impressed with how each piece was seasoned. Also ordered the salmon skin salad and wagyu skewer - both were beyond tender and reasonable portions. Finished the meal with the black sesame ice cream - BEST BLACK SESAME DESSERT I've ever had, you could tell they made it in house and it was so yummy! Would highly recommend!

Sushi Murasaki delivered an unforgettable dining experience. The Omakase was more than just delicious; it was a flavor symphony that had my taste buds jumping with delight.The Omakase menu was a treat, transporting you on a journey through a perfectly constructed menu of foods and flavors. Each course had its own distinct flavor personality, and each novel dish continued to astonish and delight me.The nigiri sushi was the perfect balance of rice and seafood; the fish was so fresh that it melted in my mouth.The ambiance was modest and welcoming, providing a relaxing environment for the bon vivant experience unfolding before us. The staff was willing to explain the various meals, answer any questions, and provide attentive service.Sushi Murasaki is a one-of-a-kind eating experience. It's a location where you can taste the passion for sushi and attention to quality in every bite. If you want an amazing Omakase flavor and experience, go no further. I can't wait to return for another delicious meal.

Omakase is outstanding for the price. Super fresh and yummy. But the best thing about this place are the sushi chefs. They are funny, engaging, and will drink with you. It's my 3rd time here and will keep going back.

Excellent sushi, out of the 10 piece omakase we ordered , we loved about 4 of them. The other six were great, but nothing special. Standard affair. Overall, still a very excellent place for omakase, but I'm at a point in my sushi journey where I'm looking for a twist on classic omakase affair.

Don't know what kind of scam they are running here. They had a full menu but said i as a single person needed to order a for plate meal for at least $85.
