Muramoto Hilldale - Madison

The sushi, sake, and service at this restaurant were excellent. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a wonderful time. We ordered 4 rolls but ended up ordering a 5th for dessert because everything was so delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth a visit.

Planned to have dinner there earlier in thr week and was surprised and disappointed to see that they closed for several days due to covid. we managed to get there before the lunch rush and our food came pretty quick. miso soup was packed with tofu and greens and just the perfect temp. the fried calamari appetizer was hot, fresh out the fryer and a perfect crisp with a delicious dipping sauce. there was plenty of pickled ginger for our order of rolls and sashimi was delicious. service was great! our kids can be a bit excited in a new environment but our waitress was very kind and attentive. thanks for reopening!

It was a little hard to find the entrance (user error probably made it more difficult) but once we made it, Muramoto didn't disappoint. The food was great, as well as the service. They have a good selection of raw and cooked items. I would definitely go again.

Goods: Everyone was very friendly, and selection was decent, but not the best in town. No Uni. Surprisingly price wasn't that expensive. Nice atmosphere and great drink selection. Bads: Might be good enough if you haven't had good sushi before. The rice to fish ratio was ridiculous. I take my sushi very seriously and was super disappointed. Way too much rice on every rolls, which is opposite of a good sushi/roll. It's hard to taste the fish when it's overwhelming with rice. Super disappointed.

The food here was very good and we had excellent service on our visit. One thing that was not too pleasant though was that our table was near the bathrooms and there was a terrible smell coming from that area. (Like a sewer smell). I don't know if I will go back for that reason unless that gets fixed!
