Great cuts of fish, and I really liked how it came with crab and spicy tuna to mix things up. The ikura was astounding–super flavorful and fresh. The QPR for this is actually pretty insane and that makes it something I’d definitely go back for.
I was eating a chirashi bowl and realized I hadn’t checked in to see the latest progress on the list and how you liked your visit to Iki Ramen@rlw. Yay, you liked it.
We’ve been enjoying Murakami since @MaladyNelson hipped me to their Chirashi Bowls 3-4 years ago. Miss her! I’d like to nominate it to the Affordable QPR list.
Fresh, quality seafood, thoughtfully prepared & super tasty, at a reasonable price. The shari is not standard issue at all - really nice pearly mouthfeel, light vinegar, light sweet.
I made it out to Murakami tonight and wow thanks for the rec @TheCookie because this was such strong QPR.
I went with a build your own six bowl: tuna, salmon, yellowtail, mackerel, eel, and ikura. Each bite of fish was great (especially the mackerel), but seriously shout out to the impressive portion size of ikura, which the salmon and eel were mostly sitting on top of.
Whenever there are fried brussels sprouts (with garlic soy and parm for 2x the umami) on the menu it’s automatic, and these were super delicious. 10/10 would order again.
Picked up the chirashi and a yellowtail scallion cut roll for dinner. There’s a lot of variety in the chirashi here, including some components like salmon skin I don’t normally come across in takeout, which only made everything more delicious. There’s such strong QPR here, I’d highly recommend it among all the other Little Tokyo standouts if you’re looking for something in a more affordable tier.
Wasn’t sure where to put this but I just saw this LAMag article come across my Facebook feed that Brothers sushi is coming to Santa Monica (on Montana)
