Sushi Murasaki in Santa Ana

Great find! Cant believe the quality - we just happened upon this place and it more than delivered. The selection was unique and so fresh! Was very impressed with how each piece was seasoned. Also ordered the salmon skin salad and wagyu skewer - both were beyond tender and reasonable portions. Finished the meal with the black sesame ice cream - BEST BLACK SESAME DESSERT Ive ever had, you could tell they made it in house and it was so yummy! Would highly recommend!

The food is literally melt in your mouth. Each piece of fish feels like a could. I recommend anyone who is willing to spend more than usual. Its definitely a higher experience for your taste buds. Be ready to spend a pretty penny for it though.

Great place to get some high quality sushi Omakase style. The price is good for the quality that you get. The appetizers are excellent as well. We got the salmon skin salad, fried octopus and the highlight would be the soft shell crab.

Ive had one other place for omakasae and this experience was enough to make me not remember the first at all. Delicious food, fantastic service, the owner came over and spoke with us to check on how we were doing. All around great time, worth what was paid, and would definitely recommend and come back!

They offer a 10 piece ($55) and a 12 piece ($75) omakase. I was wondering if there was a difference between the two other than two additional pieces. No, the only difference is just two additional pieces. The two extra pieces were an uni/salmon roe, and a Japanese seabags. I wasn’t that interested in the uni to warrant the extra $20, so I ordered the 10 piece. I also ordered a tamago sushi at the end.It was an enjoyable meal. I appreciated how they had custom toppings to go with each fish. They also had a list of the fish, which I appreciated as I got to see which fish I was eating. My favorite was actually the first, which was a Black Sea bream. It had this unexpected smokiness to it, and a rich truffle flavor, that I really enjoyed. I also liked the scallop with caviar. All of them were delicious. Nothing super stand out to warrant a second visit, but still an enjoyable visit.

Omakase...I finally tried it. OMG. Simply amazing. I never tasted sushi this delicious before. Delicious isnt even the word. Tasted doesnt even seem like the right word to use. It was a total experience in my mouth. Not sure if sushi will ever be the same at any other sushi bar. This place has set the standard for what sushi should be. I can only imagine that this is what sushi is supposed to be. I have never been to Japan but this dining experience certainly transported my taste buds to an entrely new world.

Decent spot for sushi. Omakase here is not cheap given the atmosphere and overall quality. Service is good and everyone is great. I wish they would switch to ala carte so I can actually order what I like. Located in an odd office/warehouse type complex. Its on the far south end of Santa Ana.

Came here during lunch time and ordered the 10 PCs omakase ($55). Everything is very fresh and delicious. Would definitely come back again. They do close fairly early at 1:30 pm during lunch time so make sure you get there early.

Ambiance, sushi, and service is top notch. Its always a good time when I stop by and guests I bring that try for the first time are always impressed in this small and cozy restaurant.

Wow!!! We stopped for lunch on a Saturday, the service was fantastic, the staff are friendly and give great menu recommendations 👍 Sushi was amazing and so fresh, best Ive had in a while. We will definitely be back⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
