Restaurant Muramoto, Madison, Wisconsin Restaurant Details

Food:

A small group of us decided to try the lunch special here and the experience was pretty lackluster. From the time we were seated to the time we got our food, about 40 minutes went by. We did a late lunchtime (1pm) and we were 1 of only 4 tables in the entire place. Our server was clearly having a bad day. The sushi chef looked very disengaged. We scarfed our food down and rushed back to work. Thank goodness we get an hour. The sushi was average and the chef's choices were uninspired. I might try Muramoto again, but it won't be soon.

Food:

As an Asian born growing up in a city where you can get fresh fish for Japanese food daily and choose from approximately 200 or more Japanese places among which 20 are top rated, Muramoto is far from satisfaction to me. Despite the questionable freshness of the fish, the sushi maker seems to be inadequate and does not interact with customer at all, even though we were sitting at the counter. We also ordered snapper head which is a seasonal dish and ribeye bowl. The beef was nice, but the snapper was slightly over cooked and the broth was unacceptably salty. However, the selection of materials shows some consideration from the chef and his team. Personally I will not recommend it to people who's familiar with authentic Japanese cuisine. Location restrains the performance of sushi place a lot.

Food:

WOW. I can not BELIEVE this place
... So I called in for a reservation, but when I got there the manager told me that I never had a reservation and that it would be a 2 HOUR WAIT and after that, the MANAGER just LEFT and helped someone else, not even a sorry, I can't beleive that they have a manger like that. Then when I finally got a seat AT THE BAR, they didn't even ask me what I wanted to drink!!!!! I will NEVER go back again!.
