Spicy salmon combo substituted cucumber roll with Alaska roll
Ken D.

If you're looking to eat a lot of sushi on a budget without getting AYCE this is definitely the spot to go to. The food isn't like Raisu and it will never be like that but the portions are freaken HUGEE. I was honestly so shocked because we don't have gigantic sushi portions like this in California.. if we did it would cost us almost double the price. Typically in California, Our sashimi is cut a little thicker than the slices put on nigiri sushi but god dam we had 2 inch thick cubed slices of salmon sashimi at Sushi Mura. I was a little shocked and confused.. I'm so glad my conversion from USD to CAD made me feel so rich. The service was also super quick to refill our hot teas and water. I'm not a huge fan of all the sauces in my rolls but when I'm just trying to get some affordable sushi this place definitely hits hard. It isn't the best quality but the quantity makes up for it.

Korean sushi place inside River District. Parking is plentiful in the lots in the area. The building is new, and so is this place. Nice high ceilings, and dark wood trim. Staff are friendly and professional. No complaints. Chirashi don - pretty contains everything one needs. 3 pieces each of salmon, tuna, seared tuna, more salmon, some white fish, ebi, and tamago. Everythign was nice and fresh. Very decent size. I must say I was quite impressed. I also had a chance to try some other rolls. Very good quality. Crazy rabbit roll - California type roll wrapped in cucumber slices covered in tempura flake bits and tamago.. They're trying to be creative, but this really doesn't work. The pieces just fell apart and made a huge mess. Tasted fine though. Salmon maki, chopped scallop roll - exactly as expected. Fantastic roll - pretty tasty as well. Basically like dynamite (shrimp tempura) meets negitoro (tuna with green onion). Definitely worth checking out (they do have other locations) if one is in the area. Recommended.

I found the food is better as I like to eat Sushi and Sashimi in warm temperature. They use the tablet to put order, call waiters to help and pay bill. Both of the two locations have lot of young people to have lunch and dinner time! Nice ambiance.

Eating batter, but not oyster.

The Sushi Mura at The River District is now a ripe-off. The 4-pc deep fried oyster went up to $13 and they probably cut up 'one' oyster with tons of batter to make it a 4-pc dish. Not only was the portion became way too small, I waited for 15+ minutes at 5pm when it was NOT busy. I had the fried oyster at both the Oak St and The River District before, and they were good. Top it off, I showed the server how little oyster was in each piece, she took another 10 minutes just to tell me that how they are with a ridiculously small discount. I expected at least a manager to come to talk to me, but not in this case. I would never go to this Sushi Mura at The River District again!!

Who doesn't like Sushi. Sushi is one of my favorite food. I came here to meet up with a friend. I ordered: spicy salmon sashimi (half order), chopped scallop roll and a dragon roll. The salmon sashimi was tasty. It was made the Korean Japanese restaurant way. It was sweet, savory and a bit spicy. The dragon roll was my least favorite. It was basically thinly sliced unagi on top of an avocado roll. Definitely not my favorite. The chopped scallop was good. It was not wow. Service was good. I managed to find free parking in front of the restaurant. There are parking lots at the location. Overall, the sushi was not bad. It was fresh. Prices are average. Portion size was ok. I will definitely be back.

Prawn and sweet potato tempura
Natalie W.

It's been years since I've been to a Sushi Mura, so I thought I'd give it another chance. However I left feeling the same way I had before about their sushi; it wouldn't be my first choice for sushi. It was quite busy for dinner on a Friday night. You can put your name down and they'll text you when the table is ready. So we walked around for a bit and was seated about 15 minutes later. We ordered some unagi nigiri, ikura nigiri, chopped scallop roll, salmon and avocado roll, deep fried California roll, and prawn and sweet potato tempura. Highlights of the meal was the tempura and the unagi. Unagi nigiri- was torched but not super saucy. The pieces were quite meaty. Tempura- good portion, crisp. Although batter was a bit too thick for my liking, it remained crunchy. Salmon avocado roll- it says there's mayo in the roll on the menu. With this addition, I don't feel like it really adds to the roll. The avocado already adds creaminess. Deep fried California roll- although it had sauces on it, it didn't taste very flavourful. Rolls/nigiri- overall impression was that the rice wasn't cooked/seasoned that great. The rice was quite bland and was slightly mushy. Overall, I would say I wouldn't come back for sushi. Maybe for the tempura and other cooked items that don't include rice. They did have a lot of takeout orders, so maybe that's why quality of rice wasn't great. But I have to say service was really great. Although they were super busy, all the servers were attentive and friendly. The low stars is mostly because of the food and not because of service!

Saba sushi

First time trying Sushi Mura at River District. Boy was it more impressive than the original location. Is it the ambiance? Maybe. Food seems to be better and well presented too. The only thing that went wrong was a server that probably didn't quite understand English and got our orders wrong. He could be new and wasn't familiar with the menu. But that won't stop me from coming because I'll come for the food .

Karen L.

Same good stuff as the oak location! Was happy I could call ahead for takeout and have the food all ready for me. I wish I could've swapped out the cucumbers in my dishes since I am sensitive to them, but I asked and that wasn't really an option. Overall, still glad I can get my spicy salmon sashimi here!

Crazy Rabbit roll
Andrew S.

We were craving sushi and wanted to try a different place so came here. We got a table just before 530pm on a Friday and as we ordered, there was a lineup waiting outside so we came just in time. We ordered the On Cloud 9 roll, Crazy Rabbit roll, Okonomi yaki (half) and spicy salmon roll. The On Cloud 9 roll was really good as thr blend of smoked salmon, crab meat and chopped scallop worked well. The crazy rabbit roll was different as it didn't have rice or seaweed. It used thinly sliced cucumber to hold it together. I took a video of the okonomi yaki so had to do a screenshot of it to add here. It was okay, the edges were a little burnt. I would definitely come back and try other specialty rolls. I recommend these two rolls to try as you may like them too.

I know what to order from here now. The chirashi Don and gomae. There are 20 pieces of sashimi and tamago which made it a very satisfying meal. Nothing like a skimpy portion of sashimi on rice to make it disappointing. I hope they do not reduce the quantity over time. It was 22 pieces a few months ago and now it was 20 pieces. If it gets less, then there is nothing much to differentiate this place from other sushi joints. The gomae is surprisingly very tasty. I was disappointed with the small portion at the price ($4.50) but the sauce made up for it. It was a bit sweet with a fragrant sesame scent and taste. It reminded me of the peanut/sesame filling in the dessert dumplings (tang yuan) or other Chinese dessert/snack. I still wish the portion is a bit bigger. I had some nigiri and the house roll on my previous visit. They are ok, nothing special. Get the chirashi if you like lots of sashimi on rice. This shall be my go to place in future for a chirashi fix.

salmon blossom roll $18.95
Kennedy G.

Sushi Mura had very attentive service and each dish looked pleasing to the eye. walking in had a very welcoming and inviting vibe and had great decor+ tasteful lighting ordered: -Spicy Tuna Sashimi -the aburi salmon battera -the salmon blossom roll -tuna gomae -deluxe assorted sashimi everything we ordered was super fresh, umami and sweet. every bite was addictive and was flavourful.

Mari E.

We had 4 different types of rolls and especially I liked Under The Sea special roll. Outside: wakame, sesame seed, tobiko, special sauce Inside: cucumber, avocado, grilled salmon, mayo Sushi roll with wakame? What is special sauce? I was so curious about something new and learned very good creation for eyes and mouth. No need to use say sauce. Slimy texture and creamy taste and the special sauce (a little oily) makes perfect. It's beautiful too.

Carolyn T.

So I don't eat sushi but my friends wanted it . Beautifully displayed and they said it was all delicious and good . I loved my bowl of udon noodles . Very busy place. Servers were busy . Definitely a local hot spot . Hard to find parking if you don't know the area

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.

One of the best parts is the ever-changing menu of daily specials alongside the regular menu, so there's always something new to try while still coming back to your favorites. This visit we ordered the shrimp garlic fried rice, Agedashi Nasu, Grilled Squid with Garlic Mayo, and an assortment of sashimi. The shrimp garlic fried rice is an absolute must every time. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and somehow manages to be comforting without feeling too heavy. It is a large dish and can easily be shared by 3-4, depending on what else you order. We also love the Agedashi Nasu here with melt-in-your-mouth eggplant wrapped in a light, delicate coating that soaks up the savory broth. Service is always quick and organized, even when the restaurant is busy. Dishes arrive as they're ready, making it easy to share everything around the table, which is exactly how an izakaya experience should feel. If it's your first visit, don't skip the shrimp garlic fried rice, and make sure to check out the daily specials before ordering. They often feature seasonal dishes that aren't available on the regular menu and are well worth trying.

I thought it was a nice change of scenery to be honest also I did miss some items I originally wanted and planned to try. There were some of the main dishes, like the bowls, and also mainly udon. The chicken karaage was extremely tender and fresh, you could tell because it was hot which was nice! The udon in both the curry and rose cream udon was very soft and tender as well, tender than what I usually have for udon. If you like your noodles al dante I don't think it'll quite fit your taste but I personally really enjoyed it! As for the taste the spicy rose cream udon tasted exactly like Buldak Ramen's Carbonara flavor, and everyone at my table agreed. The garlic bread was nice tho. To be completely honest staff and workers aren't very attentive, the restaurant wasn't full and I could see the workers standing around. Our table had to ask for water multiple times. Other than that however they're very kind.

I went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent. It's not some place I could afford to go to often, but glad to do it at least this one time.

You start in a small waiting room thoughtfully decorated with cultural touches before being welcomed into an intimate dining area that seats only about 12-14 people. The service was attentive and personal throughout. When it came to drinks, they first asked what we generally enjoyed rather than immediately pushing specific options. Once we narrowed it down to dry sake, our server kindly brought over several bottles and gave us a detailed explanation of each one before we made our choice. Lunch consisted of around 15 courses, with most served nigiri-style. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and I loved the thoughtful combinations of flavors and textures throughout the progression. Each piece felt distinct without trying too hard to be complicated.The experience finished beautifully with ice cream and matcha--a simple, elegant ending to a memorable meal. Absolutely worth the drive from Seattle. This wasn't just lunch; the intimate setting, pacing, presentation, and hospitality made the whole experience feel special from beginning to end.

This place gets busy, so I highly recommend reserving a table online (via OpenTable) but we did show up early to see if there was walk-in seating available. Luckily, we did get the last 2 seats at the bar. The staff are so friendly and cheery. They greet customers that come in and thank every customer when they leave. People who haven't been to an izakaya may think it's loud and noisy, but the point of izakayas is they're supposed to be vibrant, high energy, and filled with cheerful chatter. Think of a tapas-style pub/bar for people to unwind and gather to chat after a long day at work. I loved the atmosphere, as it's casual, entertaining, and lively. The food was great and I couldn't think of a dish I didn't like. The sashimi were so fresh and high quality. Of course they use freshly grated wasabi too. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly and super tender and flavorful. The saba mackerel is grilled to perfection and reminds me of the ones I ate in Japan. I'm not a big fan of bonito but the yaki udon was so tasty, I still ate it with the bonito flakes on top! I would love to come back or go to their Toronto (closer to me) location next!
