Just ate dinner here for the first time while in the area. Excellent chicken hibachi dinner with vegetables, requested brown rice, it's purple FYI. Dinner included a yummy side salad and miso soup! My husband ordered from the extensive sushi roll menu , and he enjoyed his salmon avocado, and Philadelphia rolls. Nice ambiance with soft lighting, and service was excellent. I'll be back when I'm in the area again! read more

Ordered takeout and the food from here was just okay. I enjoyed the Murasaki Roll because the tempura added a really nice crunch but the Last Samurai roll wasn't very flavorful. The crab rangoons were tasty but the mochi had a weird texture to it. read more

I placed a takeout order and they were busy. The place was so clean inside. I ordered a Thai Tea and Drunken Noodles with chicken. I ordered it extra spicy, but didn't think it was very spicy. It was really good, and there were a lot of chicken pieces and veggies. read more

Our absolute favorite go to for date night. Fantastic food, the nicest people, and always excellent experience. Our go to is sushi and Tempura. read more

Exceptional hospitality!!! Gracious attentive friendly service of top notch sushi and scrumptious curry. Mango mochi not to be missed. Can't wait to return!!! read more

Great sushi quality for reasonable pricing. Service is 5/5. My son loves sushi and they always cater to him.

Reviews were solid and I gave them a try. 3 roll lunch is priced at just $13 which is a solid price. Only patron inside but they appear to do a pretty good carry out. Fish was warm and booth top was sticky. Must be layover from COVID but every restaurant just seems sticky anymore. read more

Habhachi is amazing service is great sushi is fabulous. The food Is delightfully tasty.

Excellent Japanese food. I ordered the O-Toro (Fatty Tuna) because it was on special. The chefs torched it as requested. Unfortunately the torch didn't acheive the char I was looking for, but the tuna was still very good. The pieces were smooth amd buttery with ample fat. I found them just a little more firm than I had remembered from a previous tasting of fatty tuna. The bento box had well executed shrimp with a savoury sweet teriyaki sauce. The vegetables were firm still soft. The shumai were tasty. All around I was very happy with the value. read more

Murasaki - O-TORO - Japanese Near Me - Chester Springs, Pennsylvania

Each time I go, they just get better! It was so good last time around, I decided to test Mike's (the chef's american name?) skill at omakase. Folks, i only go there when I think very highly of the chef's skill and creativity. So if you want to cut to the chase, look at the star rating, cause it tells it all... I was not dissapointed: super cool uni-shots, outstanding himachi, blue fin toro, kampachi, & king salmon to name a few. All extremely fresh, expertly and creatively prepared, with generous portions. I could wax eloguent and how much we enjoyed the evening, how we are treated as customers (beyond reproach), or the sheer exileration of wondering what tasty morsel of bait my taste buds would experience next - but i think you get the idea. Well executed and very fairly priced. I can tell you we will indeed make this a regular part of the repitoire. read more

Good as usual was awesome, gyoza soup Christmas roll and spider roll were fresh and tasty.

Stopped in here for another lunch and opted for a different lunch special. My dining partner decided on the chicken teriyaki and I chose the shrimp tempura. Each special came with a miso soup, a small salad, and a bento box that contained our choice, plus rice, plus three deep fried shumai, and three pieces of California roll. We could not believe what we got for just under $10. We enjoyed all of it and ate all of it because we were hungry. The chicken breast was on the smaller side. The shrimp tempura included two very long shrimp, and some pieces of vegetable tempura (broccoli, orange squash, zucchini, taro, and yellow squash). read more

You won't be disappointed. Great food, huge selections. Gets very busy at dinner time but is always worth the wait.

We stumbled upon this place after both having a sushi craving and wanting to try some place new. After a little research, we decided on Murasaki. The place was nicely decorated and looked modern. Our waitress was extremely friendly and even described all of the different fish that was included when the sushi boat came out. First off, the price was phenomenal. For less than $60 for both of us, we got the sushi boat which came with 12 pieces of sashimi, 12 pieces of nigiri, and two full rolls. The miso soup and salad that came before the boat came out were both delicious and a great start to the meal. All of the fish on the boat tasted amazingly fresh. The salmon was buttery and melted in your mouth, the tuna was light and full of flavor. The rolls included (I believe a rainbow and samurai roll) nicely accompanied the sashimi/nigiri. The only complaint I have about this place was that I think we were skimped on variety of the sushi. It appears they only used 2 different types of fish on the nigiri, and, after looking at some other posts, it looks like it usually comes with more. We did come late, about an hour before closing, so I'm not sure if some fish were already wrapped for the night. However, when it comes to freshness, taste, and price for what you get, Murasaki is an incredible place to check out, and I'm looking forward to dining here again. read more

Good prices, easy to order online, good quality. Have enjoyed rolls and traditional sushi options - good quality across the board. The challenge is that while everything here is "good", it doesn't necessarily venture into "great" territory. There's a certain next level element missing from the flavor and from the experience. It doesn't quite have a unique charm or that one standout dish or element that would lead you to make it a go-to restaurant. read more

Worst sushi ever!!! Fish was days old. Spicy scallop hand roll was over-stuffed and uneatable. The same for spicy tuna. Murasaki maybe busy with filling take-out orders, but the quality of the food is lacking. Would not order here again. read more

We did take out, and it was good - not the fanciest, but tasty and hit the spot. Think of it as "everyday sushi" and not "special occasion sushi" read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I got the tempura chicken which was fabulous! Light breading which was amazing. I also got a side of noodles and edamame which was all delicious too. read more

We have been going to murasaki for years, the front staff is always friendly, I love the flash fried sushi rolls, Vegas roll, they were great during Covid. read more

Excellent, fresh food at a fair price. Loved the tempura and special rolls! The pad Thai was Excellent, as was Service. We will return!

less than impressive. the many 4 stars got me to make a visit. It's NOT that great, peeps!! It's not authentic Jap or Thai food. It's bogus food. Hibachi was actually Teriyaki sauce. Come on, peeps!! Paid a big price but got a little bit of food.......... would not recommend......... read more

Update: I am changing my review from 1 to 3 stars. The owner called the next day and apologized for the experience. They offered to make it right and they did. Thank you! Food is good, but service is terrible. Have visited multiple time. Last visit was enough. My wife and I ordered takeout and was told hour and 15min. Ok fine, my wife arrived as told and waited another hour in parking lot (coronavirus) she walked in to see how much longer they said gave our order to someone else, and they were soThen they said she can come back tomorrow for food??? Are you kidding me?? read more

Sushi is fresh and delicious every time! Orders are accurate and staff is always friendly.

Was told an hour for an order for three people. It wasn't ready when I arrived over an hour later. Time to complete was closer to 1.5 hours. Rolls where mediocre. Red curry was flavorful. However the chicken seemed chewy and fake. Reasonably priced place. Below service and food read more

Excellent sushi, I got clear soup which was full of flavor, thank Kani salad added refreshing element. I highly recommend the catapillar roll and lonely angel. You will love and will leave fully satisfied. Not sure how I made room for desert but the Bomba was a great ending note. read more

Top notch sushi in my neighborhood! Where else can you get such specials as ankimo, live scallops, modai, branzino, uni shots to name a few. Ada and Mike always make you feel welcome and serve up beautifully prepared super fresh fish. read more

Bento box with Tofu $17 - CRAZY!! So this was our (my girls and I) go to place for bento boxes, actually tofu teriyaki bento boxes. We love their food and the time spent with my teens over lunch. Recently, my girls went to order for take out and they were told the chef couldn't do it. Mind you in the past, they charged us $1-2 extra for tofu and we paid because we enjoyed it so much. This time, they just said they couldn't because: 1- the chef was too busy with other lunch orders 2- it's more costly for them to do the tofu (Even though they always charged up) 3- she said we could get there regular tofu teriyaki dish (doesn't make sense if they make the regular and not offer the bento box) When I asked to speak to a manager or owner, she went offline and came back and said they would charge us $17-18 for each box. That's absurd! It's tofu and they charge $10 for chicken! Definitely not willing to accommodate the vegetarians or those with allergies. I told her she was losing a customer and she didn't seem to care. I asked for the owner to call me back and she was dismissive. read more

Stopped by after work, didn't seem too busy... but after waiting an hour for food we heard the server telling people coming in they were very busy. Food finally arrived, it wasn't totally hot but the flavor was amazing. Don't forget it's BYOB, we didn't know but just so you do. read more

Murasaki has changed owner - EVERYTHING CHANGE FOR THE BETTER !!! I have tried this restaurant 2 years ago, and it is not down-to-the-drain bad but definitely not one that I will ever think of patronizing again. Until most recently, my wife and I went for a quick eat-and-run lunch date. What I can say is the food is amazingly good - i have to say that to give a comment like "amazingly good" on a plain-o-maki, it is a "huge" compliment as POTUS would say it (and I really mean it). The fish has to be very fresh to the point that it can be discerned in the maki-wrap-about. It did not stop there, we went for a family date with our daughter on Thai entrees last weekend. Again, superb !!! Pad Thai is not too saucy, and the Thai fried rice is just as Thai as it can be, Sawadee-khrap. We are asian, we knew how a good fried rice can really be. Finally, I went alone for the ultimate test - sushi. I am very sensitive to sushi, and I can really tell if it is good one. I have yet to find a decent, not to mention great sushi place in PA (I have tried some in Philly and around chester county area). There are all sub-par to my standard, some are eatable if I really want a sushi kick. A good sushi restaurant should be judged by their tuna (just my opinion). Man !!! the tuna is superb - they provide the supreme cut. I order a sushi entree, I relish every single pieces of those - it is so good that i order another ala carte (King Salmon). In the end, I have a good conversation with the sushi chef, Michael who is also the owner. I come to learn that the chef is a man of integrity. His story (I admire and respect virtuous person) about how he sources and prepares the meal is very commendable (he sources his fish in Philly, NYC and Maryland very early in the morning). All his fishes once start serving will never go beyond 3 days - to maintain the freshness - and yeah, he will discard all the unsold fishes after 3 days. I enjoy his story about how he enjoy his work and happy to see people enjoy his preparations. He is very passionate about his job and not only for the money which I would say is a rare gem for humanity in the lustful torrent of materialism. This place will be my regular restaurant to visit read more

Bad customer service. Tried to order something to pick up and asked for their menu. In return, "check our website." And just hung up on me without any explanation. Such a rude response. Never using this place again. read more

I had been wanting to go here for a while and it did not disappoint. The staff are very friendly. The menu is a nice combination of sushi and Thai dishes. Sushi is not my thing, I was there for the Thai. I had the green curry with tofu. It was spicy and delicious. My son had the soup with dumplings and mushrooms. The desert menu is amazing! I loved the fried ice cream and the coconut spring rolls. read more

Japanese and thai food my two favorites! The food was phenomenal. The decor was stunning! I lived in san diego for 3 years and japan for a month so i know good asian food. This is the best i have had in a long while. Its definitely too good for this shopping center. I will definitely become a regular here! read more

By far, Murasaki has the freshest menu in the area. I love when they offer the very uncommon Bronzino appetizer. It's the best sushi offering I have ever experienced, and you can taste the care and quality of this starter. The main courses are delectable, and if you have room..., the deserts are great too. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive especially our host and co-owner Aida. And if you sit at the counter and talk with chef owner "Mike" he may decide to customize your dish. It's worth the trip, give it a try and you will be happy after the first bite! read more

Our favorite sushi place. We were spoilt for Choice in the New York area but this is pretty good. Good service and reasonably priced. We love pretty much all the sushi and the Thai curry dishes. Been there and carry out several times a year for a few years now. read more

I got my food delivered and it arrived early. Food was good, a tad overpriced in my opinion. The seaweed salad is delicious!

Came here at recommendation of friends who dine here frequently. Obviously they must have a different experience than the one we had. To be honest the food we did get was good but service was horrible and the staff was unapologetic after making us wait more than an hour for food we never got. Three tables came and went before the food for our table arrived. When food did arrive it wasn't the entire tables food. After waiting another 15 minutes we cancelled our order since the rest of the table was finishing their meals. read more

Amazing sushi right here in Chester County. This place is as good and fresh as it gets on the East Coast. Everything is fantastic! Sit at the sushi bar for a great show and a real treat. You can see the difference in how well everything is done, before you taste the difference for yourself. Many different selections, excellent specials and they are always very fresh. All the rolls we've tried are also delicious. Head chef/owners very friendly and service conscious. Can't speak to the Thai or other cooked foods, but you won't find sashimi (or sushi) omikasi this good, this close. We haven't even found as good in Philly. Only real comparisons are top dollar in NYC or southern California. Be sure to check the specials board on the way in, and inquire about what's good or suggested. It's all really good, but they're always willing to guide you to the absolute best. This place will definitely make you wish sushi was in the budget a couple times a week! read more
