Murata has operated from its Southwest Portland address since 1988, run by owner Masayuki Murata. The restaurant offers three distinct ways to sit down to a meal: a sushi bar, standard table seating, and a traditional tatami room, all within the same space.
Regulars describe the sushi quality and the overall atmosphere as close to dining in Japan, pointing to attentive service and an intimate room that's held steady over decades. The Infatuation scored the restaurant 9.5 out of 10.
Murata remains family-owned, with the same ownership in place since it opened in 1988.
