Sushi Mura - Vancouver

Food was excellent. Delivery was as 20 min. earlier than expected. Very friendly on the phone and deliverer. Deserves the highest rating.

Sushi Mura is a Korean operated “Japanese Restaurant”. I don’t know about you, but I despise fake cuisines. It’s okay you’re doing fusion, but don’t label yourself as “Japanese Restaurant”. There is usually line up at this place, so obviously not a lot of people share my belief in authenticity. In this restaurant, you get to enjoy Korean Japanese food while listening to staff yelling in Korean. Sushi Mura is located at the corner of Oak Street and 49th Avenue.

We stopped for lunch at Mura. Although it was busy, the service was efficient. I opted for the Ton Katsu with rice and salad. It was delicious, especially with the tangy sauce. My dining companion had the beef teriyaki, which was tasty but a bit dry and lacking in meat. We also shared the beautifully presented and tasty tempura. We definitely plan to return to Mura in the future.

If you're craving for some rolls, this is the place to go. Waiting is pretty common at this restaurant but it is justified by their tasty menu. <br/ <br/ Rolls are interesting and unlike authentic Japanese rolls as they have a Korean twist to them. My favourite must-get item from this place is their spicy salmon sashimi, which is cubes of kimchi salmon sashimi. Refreshing to eat, and not spicy enough to kill my taste buds. <br/ <br/ My favourite special roll is the spider roll. Fried ingredients give it a crispy and unique texture.

Decent service <br/ decent Japanese food/ similar to other restaurants <br/ average price<br/ limited parking <br/ if I had to choose 1 dish: shrimp tempura <br/ would i go back ? Yes for dinner next
