    Omg roll
    Michael F.

    This quaint sushi spot is incredible. You can taste the freshness of the food. We found a parking spot a short walk away. When we entered, we were greeted and seated promptly. We always start with some cold filtered sake and nigiri. Off to a great start. Very large pieces of fish on the nigiri. We ordered several rolls including the Omg. Red Dragon, Dragon, Snowman, Typhoon and Caterpillar. I don't know which was the best. Seriously, they were all that good. We finished with some baked green mussels. Yummy! Amazing, friendly and fast service. Overall, a top notch experience!

    Great service and well priced sashimi for the area. Nice restaurant with a covered outdoor patio.

    Build your own Chirashi is the best! I love this place and it's my hidden secret. The price and quality is unbeatable!

    Sashimi omakase
    Priscilla K.

    Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 We got the sashimi omakase and the cuts were yummy but soo thin and tiny. I think it was like half or a third of the normal size sashimi's I'm used to. If you are used to paying a fixed price, beware if you order "omakase" which quite literally means you trust the chef, you are in their graces to receive the best cuts at the price the chef sets. You might be surprised at the bill if it's much more than you planned for, but you also risk being pleasantly surprised by the cuts, so it's definitely a win-win for some! I knew what I didn't like, so I told the head chef (Taro) in advance and he accommodated for my preferences :) Parking situation is quite tough--you can either find street parking a few blocks down or just do valet next door for $7! All in all, the omakase was delicious indeed, though the price was quite steep. We were soo hungry afterwards that we had a second meal elsewhere but I certainly do not regret coming here!

    In the area looking for a good spot to eat & I came across Murakami. I went as soon as it opened in the evening & had a great experience! The service was great & the sushi was incredible! I went in with zero expectations and left so pleasantly surprised. The price is reasonable & everything I had was delicious! They have a garlic soy sauce that was so yummy too! If you follow them on IG you get a free order of their edamame. I would definitely return for the nigiri alone. Highly recommend!

    Murakami has been on my list for quite some time and I decided to stop by for a lil sushi pick me up. I ordered omakase and a rich man roll. This was my first time ordering omakase and it exceeded my expectations. Every piece of nigiri was made with love. I thoroughly enjoyed the rich man roll as well. Amazing service, amazing food. Definitely a must try.

    First time dining here and I'm already planning my next visit! Everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor! You can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend! We sat outside and the heater made it feel warm and cozy! Can't wait to come back

    Salmon Carpaccio and Murakami Sashimi Roll
    Alec M.

    Went here for Valentine's Day. Great service and the food was amazing. Music and lighting is soothing. Would come back here.

    I always forget to leave a review when I come here but every visit has been a 10/10. The vibe is relaxed, food is AMAZING and the staff is so attentive. My boyfriend and I love sitting at the bar and talking with Nino and Taro!! They've never steered us wrong and besides being so fun to watch, are incredibly kind and full of great stories. They really make the whole experience so great and I already cant wait for next time!!

    the food was insanely good, service was fast and exceptional, and ambiance was nice and relaxed. I came here on a solo date and had an amazing time

    I'm such a fan of chicken ramens lately. Torisoba Tonsho has various options aside from ramen, but…read moretheir chicken paitan really hits for me. All the chicken they use in every dish was just so darn plump and flavorful. Excellent quality all around. My friend and I shared the chicken karage which was huge, plump pieces in a crisp deep frying. How that stayed so crisp and fresh for a delivery is beyond me but I absolutely loved it. We also had the chicken gyoza which they give a nice char on the outside from being pan fried. I liked this difference from other places but aside from the frying, it was fairly standard. Get the karage if you want a side item! Now the ramens are just fabulously rich and creamy in their chicken paitan white broth that goes so nicely with the proteins for a clean but slightly savory taste. Their broth is so light and airy, they give you special instructions for reheating to recreate the emulsion type of effects they use. That's such a nice touch! Their noodles are more wheat-forward and thin than other places but once you accept that, you can lean into the difference nicely. The Lemon Butter had great flavor with just the slightest bit of acidity giving a bit more dimensions to the flavor. Absolutely loved Torisoba Tonsho and can't wait to come back to try more of the menu! It's right across the Largo if you are going for dinner & a show. :)

At 6pm, we were only 1 of 2 parties; by 7:30pm, all the inside & outdoor patio tables were filled except for a couple. A large party made the indoor atmosphere pretty loud, but after they left it was easy to have audible conversation. Several people came in to pick up to go orders while we were there. Service was really warm, food came out so fast & everything was DELISH: Beef bowl - marbled beef cooked w/onions on rice. So tender & flavorful! Spicy tuna bowl - spicy tuna over rice, with a wasabi ponzu sauce. Yum! Albacore hand roll - fresh & buttery Eel hand roll - melt in your mouth delicious We were there early so it was easy to find parking at a meter. I can see why they get such consistently great reviews! I'll be back to try their yummy looking udon dishes. Highly recommend!!

    Stopped by before a show at Largo, and there were only four other people dining at the time…read more Service was friendly. I ordered a diet coke, two orders of the eel sushi (each order comes with only two pieces!). I didn't feel four pieces of eel sushi was good value for $16. The hand rolls were $6 a piece which were smaller than the average hand rolls. The eel had great flavor, but the spicy tuna was off. Oh how I wish I didn't have to walk through the kitchen to get to the restrooms. I didn't enjoy seeing the behind the scenes of it all. And the bathrooms need to be cleaned better, especially around the base of the toilets. They smelled awful. I hate to say this, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

We already had good street parking nearby, so we just walked over. Because it's on Fairfax near Melrose, parking definitely depends on the time and day -- it can get tricky in this area. We didn't notice any signs for parking in the back, so street parking might be your best bet. Food: We ordered three items, and everything we tried was solid, but the standout for us was the creamy ramen. We shared a bowl, but honestly, I would've happily eaten a whole one by myself if I had known how good it was. The prices were pretty reasonable for the area, and portion sizes felt fair. Service: The staff was friendly. Service was smooth, and our food came out in good time. Overall: A nice casual spot for sushi and ramen in the Fairfax/Melrose area. Good food, friendly service, and decent prices. I'd definitely come back, especially for that ramen.
