Murasaki - Washington, DC
Hi everyone,
So I’ve noticed that I have pretty stellar reviews of all the restaurants that I’ve gone to. My blogs seem to be pretty ecstatic about most of the restaurants I’ve visited, but that’s only because I wanted to start off with some really good ones. I figure it’s time to shake it up a little bit by featuring a restaurant that I thought was “okay.” To be sure, I wouldn’t advise against this place, I think for this post, at least, I’ll tone it down a notch.
So the featured restaurant for today is called Murasaki, which means “purple” in Japanese. It’s a Japanese restaurant located near the Tenleytown metro stop on the Red Line. It was average in terms of food quality. The sushi is pretty tasty, but a little overpriced for the quality. The entrée I had was tonkatsu (which is a fried breaded pork cutlet), and it was pretty good. There was a lot for what I paid for (about 11 dollars) so that was definitely a plus. The service was nice, and they also have outside dining for when the weather permits. Those were two very nice things about the restaurant. Overall, I’d say the restaurant was average. It was a bit over-priced on some areas of the menu, but this was balanced out by good service and a nice ambience. 
So, hopefully that was a little more level-headed in terms of review quality. I’d suggest, however, that you check it out for yourself. It was a good experience regardless of the downsides.
Here is the info on it:
