"I hate this 4/2022 negative review, but it is necessary to read it. This is a restaurant in serious difficulties when you read other reviews you can see the topics. First they are terribly underoccupied, and everyone waited for food for at least one hour. They have a cook and a service employee working a top Saturday night shift and they simply cannot maintain the avalanche of the two diners and take orders. The server worked so hard, I felt bad for her. But a server can not order, take-out orders, package take-off, serve diners, do cheques, seat coats, heat tea, etc. for 15 Mäzen. Not possible. The restaurant was filled with cartridges that circle like hungry vultures, wait one hour and for 6 pieces sushi. Every EVERYONE was angry, worried and waiting. Some had to wait 30 minutes. Second, her menu is from the date. It has a sticky note that things can be 1 2 dollars more. One of our special roles was advertised at $15, but at $19. So it's a guessing game that costs everything because the menu is irrelevant. This is completely unacceptable. Thirdly, the sushi is just bad, not like that. For example, because they are so overwhelmed, it sits on the shelf waiting for pickup once prepared and has a chance to get warm. The sushi was subordinate to supermarket sushi, and both my wife and I woke up the next day with very annoyed stomachs. We should have got Shoprite sushi. The ingredients were poor. The fish was obviously old, the roles were built carelessly, and it made us easily sick. All in all, the picture we got was from a failed restaurant that is in serious trouble, and for the disaster fast. You can't use take-out orders, they can't keep with diners, and the quality of their sushi is terrible. They worked hard, but they need more help and better ingredients. With more help, they could focus on their food. I wish them good luck and hope that they have success, but that was a failing business that made us sick the next day."

"In an attempt to both satisfy my current sushi obsession and explore some of the lesser known DC restaurants, my best friend and I decided to give Murasaki on Wisconsin Avenue a shot on a hot summer day for a relaxing sushi lunch. Murasaki has a great sushi menu with some fabulous un-traditional roll options, including shiitake mushroom roll and pickled ginger roll. There is a nice shaded outdoor seating area with Japanese tea garden vibe, so I recommend sitting outside if you can. Inside seating is really nice as well, and noise level isn’t bad, so you can’t go wrong with either! The sushi was really great and we had a fantastic lunch. I opted for three sushi rolls – avocado, shiitake mushroom, and pickled ginger, and an order of scallop sashimi. I looooove pickled ginger with a fiery passion and as simplistic as this roll was, it was phenomenal! Fish was fresh and delicious, and all the veggies tasted incredibly fresh. Menu also includes lunch specials such bento boxes (only $9.95, and served with miso soup to start , salads, large sashimi menu, excellent tempura options, and other seemingly non-traditional dishes, such as lobster tempura (as well as yam and eel miso soup. My best friend went the bento box option, and said the California roll was some of the best she’s had in DC. She looked to be in foodie heaven while biting into her shrimp tempura, so I’d say that’s a positive review! Other non-sushi items that looked really good included the plethora of appetizers, which ranged from grilled octopus to fresh tofu salad with ginger and scallions to seared beef with enoki mushrooms (for you meat eaters out there! Noodles, rice, and various teriyaki options round out the large menu. Quick and friendly service, great lunch spot in the Tenleytown area. No complaints from me! Easily accessible by the Tenleytown Metro (red line , and I will definitely be back to get some more of the restaurant’s more intriguing sushi items, such as the Baked Scallop Roll. Restaurant has a separate dinner menu as well. Great sushi, reasonably priced, and I will definitely be back when I’m in this area of town! For now, I’ll be content satisfying my sushi cravings at Sizzling Express :"
