The best Sashimi in Greenville, hands down. I love the chef's special variety boat. Drinks are awesome. Place is usually super clean. Great date place if you enjoy real sushi. They also have the more American sushi adaptations, such as California rolls and tempura rolls. Service is normally kind and formal. Very expensive but very good quality. read more

A group of us wanted sushi, and this place had decent reviews on Google (maybe not Yelp), so we gave it try. The first thing I noticed when I entered - it looks more like a bar, and not a sushi restaurant. The server came by and started asking if we wanted any drinks to start, or appetizers. He looked pretty deflated when we didn't order either. For my lunch, I got the Surf & Turf. The steak was a bit tough, but the salmon was prepared impressively well (not overcooked). The sushi wasn't bad. Back to the server, he was pretty bad the rest of the service. He basically tossed our plates on our table. He didn't smile, or attempt to be nice. I don't remember him checking on us to see if we were enjoying our food. Overall, not great. The food I had was ok, but service (or lack of it) made it a unpleasant experience. read more

A neat place in Main Street. Friendly, polite and efficient staff. Our food came out within minutes! We both ordered salads. I had the lobster salad which was delicious. The greens were fresh. I had a lobster tail with a lobster salad mix within my salad. This was served with a wasabi dressing, a soy dressing and a ginger dressing. All were delicious. The restaurant is surprisingly large inside and nicely decorated. It's very clean. A great spot to get your Japanese fix! read more

Food was good, nothing special, I wish the tofu had been crispy instead of steamed. Service was fine, in a great location. I've been before and I would go back, but would try something else. read more

We had a small group and arrived an hour and a half before closing. We ordered shortly after sitting down and it took about 30-35 minutes to get just the 4 orders of sushi. There also was a fruit fly in one of our waters. Not my favorite location read more

Skip their sushi...I may have gotten sick from it. Good service though. Maybe I caught the chef on a bad night.

Their menu is extensive, as it includes both the hibachi side as well as the sushi side of the restaurant. Even though it was packed, our server stayed on top of it by keeping everyone's plates and cups full. read more

Came in for a late lunch and ordered the Dragon Roll, Ocean Breeze, and Spicy Yellowtail. All were really good--Ocean Breeze was the standout. Friendly service and a nice spot for sushi. read more

The place was ok, lots of tvs and had the World Cup on which was nice. Service was good considering there was only one server and she was occupied most of the time. Food was average. The egg roll was probably the best part. I enjoyed the chicken teriyaki flavor but the fried rice was quite bland. Overall, I do not plan to come back. read more

Great food, great price , great service . In town for business and I highly recommend.

This place is definitely a bar first and restaurant second. Service was very abrupt and almost rude, which I normally don't care about if the food is good. The food was okay, nothing special given the prices and location. They had politics and sports on the TVs, which really leant into the bar vibe. Food overall was mid, their fried calamari was pretty good. The chefs special for sashimi included both imitation crab and cooked shrimp, which seemed like a bit of a rip off. read more

This is my first negative review on a restaurant, but I feel it is important to share this experience. A customer made a rude comment about my friend's physical appearance. It was very hurtful, embarrassing & completely inappropriate. What was even more disappointing was the response from staff & management. After speaking with the manager, I hoped there would be concern, accountability or even a sincere apology. Instead, they joked with the rude customer. I left feeling that our concerns were mocked. No one should have to worry about being ridiculed like that. Restaurants should be places where people feel welcomed, respected & valued regardless of their appearance, age, size or background. As women, we should be supporting & uplifting one another, not tolerating environments where people are shamed or mocked. If you are looking for a place where you can relax & feel comfortable being yourself, this is not the place. Women standing strong together can make a difference. We can change the world for the better. I will not be back and will be spreading the word to my friends and others. I hope management takes this feedback seriously & works to create a culture of kindness & respect for all customers. I will never know if they do because I won't be back. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years. We sit on the orient side, down below. It's the quietest and softest ambiance there (also, normally where families are - weird combo). The sushi is expensive. It's also my favorite in town. The rice is perfect, the flavors are simple and complimentary. I normally get an eel roll and a spicy yellowtail roll, or the curry. I think it's called a " yellow" curry now. The service is either ok or very good, depending. read more

We dine here when we're in town which used to be several times a year, but has now been about 2 years ago. They've changed a lot since we were last here in staff and atmosphere, but it's still a great culinary experience. Clean and spacious enough. There's also a bar area and an adjoining Chinese restaurant (The Orient on Main). Our waitress was reserved but polite and checked on us enough. My order of Chirashi was still expertly prepared. I also ordered sweet shrimp sashimi with a request to fry the shrimp heads. Two come with the order and the heads were perfectly fried yet light and so crispy. My husband's order of Ikura Nigiri, Mackerel Nigiri, and Yellowtail roll were as expertly prepared and everything was fresh. We will definitely return next time we're in town. read more

Some of the best sushi we've had! We don't usually try new things but we did and we were beyond pleased! Very fresh sushi and the flavors were all there! This place in my opinion deserves way better ratings than what they currently have!! From the food to the amazing service we received! We will definitely be back again! read more

Everything from quality, portions and presentation was amazing! Service was top notch, can't wait to go back!

atmosphere is cool. the service was incredibly underwhelming. the food was even more underwhelming. so much left to be desired. the sushi was bland. the beef tataki was all kinds of wrong. the crab salad was okay. it feels like a bar thats trying to be a sushi spot, but they arent trying very hard read more

Decent place. Nothing really to get too excited about. Say at the bar, had an ok cocktail and simple sushi. Nothing spectacular but ok. Great location but so many amazing spots in Greenville they need to step it up. read more

Overall we really enjoyed sushi Murasaki, we liked all the apps and rolls we got (it wasn't super special but still tasty) and the vibe was loungey cool. I didn't like my drink personally, but I had been drinking half the day so it wasn't a huge loss. The sushi is made really quickly so it's easy to order a little then order a little more as you feel like it! read more

Bartender Chloe was very sweet. She gave truthful recommendations of the food and attentive to my needs. I ordered a bagel roll and steak and salmon hibachi. Nothing was stand out delicious, but the ginger dressing was one of the better ginger dressings I've had. The hibachi was good, maybe could have had a little more flavor to the cooking sauce- but the white sauce was good. read more

This used to be our go to for sushi in Greenville. Over the last couple years it has declined in quality. On our most recent visit the edamame was so mushy and room temperature. The Nigiri tuna was also mushy and room temperature. My husband's rainbow roll was skimpy on the fish and the rolls themselves have gotten smaller. There are many other better sushi places around. I don't think we will go back here. read more

After a very brief visit to the Saturday morning Farmer's Market and then a nice stroll around beautiful Greenville, we decided to have sushi for lunch. We were immediately seated and Siu was our extremely personable server. Ordering was easy and came out fast, but we were really underwhelmed with all of the food. It was just really not that memorable.. Summer spring rolls were dry and tasteless, the sushi rolls (California, Pink Lady, and Spicy Tuna) were just really blah with somewhat gummy rice. The fried rice was decent... As for drinks, we ordered Lychee martinis and they were just ok. I'm not from the area, but probably wouldn't return if I were.. read more

First off (!!!) the absolute best service from V. I've been numerous times and it never disappoints. Steamed wontons were a bit cool but it was Pattys day and let's be real... everyone was busy! Which didn't slow the service on my end. VERY attentive - and unbothered by the crowd. (Or anyones from my view) *pat V the back* Lighting is nice and dim - not bright and cold feeling at all. Even if it's wide open it still feels intimate. Started with the tuna sunshine, then multiple nigiri & This time I wanted a dry noodle and got a Singapore coconut curry seafood dish that was to die for. Literally took the leftovers back to the room and finished them before they made it to the fridge. Not sure why they only have 3.5 stars. EVERYtime I've dined with them the food and service have been exceptional. And I'm a tough critic I believe they have sister restaurants I've got to try but why switch up when this hits the spot!! read more

Initial welcome treatment was weak, even though I had booked a table I was told to go wait in a line with no one in charge. Then was led to one of the worst tables by the kitchen but spoke up and got a better one. Deluxe sushi roll was poorly presented and sloppy, with little attention to aesthetics. A small 8 piece item. Waitress was always just passing by, not really committed to our enjoyment. Fried tofu appetizer was one of the few saving graces. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here. I was in town for one night and glad I picked here for dinner! The service was quick and friendly. The bartender was great! The menu was unique and the food I ordered was delicious. I will be back next time I'm in town! Also, there was a parking garage near and easy to find. read more

So, they were busy. I get that. But when the food came out, it was a little...lacking. Hard to taste the fish (heaven roll), and the rice was a bit stale (possibly undercooked) in the rolls (eel). I love sushi, so it's hard for me to get turned down...but I'd give the sushi a solid 6.5/7 out of 10. Fun atmosphere, but I don't know if I'll make another run. read more

While at a business trip in Greenville, it happened to be my birthday. I wanted a nice setting to spend the evening, with good food. I definitely found it at Sushi Marasaki. The atmosphere was perfect. Dim lighting, bar vibe, but amazing food. I ordered the tuna tataki, and it was amazing. The flavors were absolutely perfect. The lobster roll was great as well. If you're looking for a great vibe, and top quality sushi, you've found the right place. read more

Service was subpar. Bartender had bad attitude out the gate with my party and the party next to us. It continued, had to ask for chop sticks and napkins after food was served. I also had to ask three times to make a to go order since she kept ignoring me. Then to top it off the cheek yellowtail served with ponzu is fried. No where does it says it will be fried, maybe my ignorance but not what I wanted. Rolls we did get were meh. read more

Every-time I've been on servers are slightly rude or stuck up but good is good and vibe for downtown sushi is nice

Me and a friend were out roaming Greenville for our birthday weekend and decided to eat here for dinner tonight. My friend decided to get the dumplings and when she opened the lid, a roach came running out of the bowl and crawled all over the table. After everyone around us saw what was happening, the nice ladies sitting behind us returned their food as they were grossed out by what they had witnessed. The nice lady beside us decided she was no longer going to eat because she no longer had an appetite either. After flagging down a waitress and my friend killing the bug with a napkin and showing the waitress, the person in charge came out to speak but instead of speaking to us, they spoke to the ladies behind us. After a 5 minute spill about how it happens and saying it was due to the building being old and telling them their bill will be compensated, he walked away and never came to speak to us. He then proceeded to come back to the table behind us and ask them to not tell anyone what they had saw, they then proceeded to tell him that the roach came out of our food not theirs. He walks over, he doesn't say anything other than hey. We tell him we've already paid and he said he would be right back and then never came back. So therefore our bill was NOT compensated but that ladies behind us were when we were the ones that had the roach in the food. So we decide to get up and leave and he hardly made any eye contact and threw his hands up and shrugged his shoulder and all he had to say was "Sorry guys". It is REALLY sad we had to receive this kind of service. We use to come here every Friday and it was one of our favorite places to eat. We've raved about this place to everyone we know for years. So to receive this kind of service and lack of caring was disgusting. We will never be back and after today, we will never recommend anyone to come here. The roach is one thing but the way the situation was handled is another. Very very disappointing. read more

Excellent sushi, drinks and service! Our server was polite, attentive, and even overheard it was my friend's birthday and surprised us with a delicious dessert to celebrate! We are from out of town and will definitely be back again! Thank you! read more

Spare yourself the worst sushi you'll ever have. I may not be "elite" (who are you people?) but I've eaten a lot of sushi in a lot of different places and Murasaki was the only time we couldn't finish the plate. It was the worst sushi I've ever had, and I'm not sure I've said that about anything before. Maybe we ordered the wrong rolls, maybe the sushi chef was having an off night, or maybe this place just sucks. Save your money, do your stomach a favor and go anywhere else for dinner. The rolls had about an inch of rice and little meat inside. They also call a roll a Philadelphia roll, though instead of smoked salmon it has imitation crab. How do you get away with redefining roll names? Read the menu closely folks! Nothing is normal at Murasaki. Even the ambience is partial sports bar, partial local watering hole, part bad sushi restaurant. Few redeeming qualities here. After complaining to the manager, he offered 50% off our bill but didn't offer to make the food right or anything else. We left hungry. Avoid! read more

FRESH SUSHI!! Some of the freshest we have had! Love the atmosphere here with plenty of menu options. But sushi being are favorite we can't imagine not enjoying sushi here. They also have a very nice cocktail menu with a large variety of sake option available. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. We had a nice long enjoyable meal and never felt rushed. They do get busy so reservations recommend. Located on the corner on Main Street a very large restaurant so perfect for large parties. read more

Ordered a dish from this restaurant which was wrong. Called back and also sent a text message to the restaurant was told by a manger I could get a replacement meal or credit the next time. Called to place two orders and the food credit. I was told by another manager that I could not do either and that I already came another day and got the order which is a negative. Very bad customer service to me personally. Dish with no shrimp read more
