"When it comes to affordable, quality sushi bowls, Murakami is still our favorite spot in town. The tiny restaurant on Melrose has a full menu of solid offerings, but it’s their giant bowls (ranging from $17-$25) that keep us coming back. Our favorites include the mixed, a straight-forward order of tuna, salmon, albacore, yellowtail, and shrimp, as well as the spicy trio - a fiery bowl of chopped tuna, yellowtail, and salmon bathed in a slightly-spicy mayo, which makes for a perfect WFH lunch, solo dinner, or even leftover breakfast, straight from the fridge." - Brant Cox
"You can load up on sushi at Murakami, but let’s not kid ourselves, you’re here for the sashimi bowls. Like Sugarfish, Murakami is a pretty fun place to be, and, unlike Sugarfish, you can have a perfectly filling (but not need-a-nap-afterwards filling) lunch for less than $20. Go for the number six (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, shrimp, eel, and avocado) or the slightly less loaded mixed bowl. And while you’re there, wave to everyone you’ve ever met." - jess basser sanders
"Sushi is always a great option for date night, but getting stuck in a 90-minute omakase with a guy who just mentioned he’s going to the Warped Tour this summer is not. Head to Murakami, the insanely mellow sushi joint on Melrose that will get you in and out in 45 minutes every time. The regular sushi and sashimi is certainly passable here, but the move is to always go for their sushi bowls. The $15 Spicy Trio (spicy tuna, yellowtail, and salmon) is one of the best deals in the area." - brant cox

"Always one of LA’s most popular affordable sushi spots, Murakami sports an array of chirashi bowl options. The five, six, and seven bowls have tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and albacore, though diners can add additional cuts, or even fully customize their bowl. Basically, Murakami is the king of chirashi in LA." - Matthew Kang
