Murasaki Asheville: Elevate Your Ramen and Sushi Experience in Arden, NC

Valentine's Day was super busy but it was worth the wait. I could not control myself around the Monster Crab roll so it is not pictured, but everything else was super delicious. I think this is a definite yes on a return trip! My price estimate here includes that we got dessert.

This was a great place for my family and I to stop after ice skating. There were lots of things on the menu so we all found things we liked. I personally would suggest the Salmon Tempura Roll - Delicious!

This is by far my favorite sushi place in town!!! Been here twice now and both times everything was phenomenal!!! Romantic place for a date night with amazing food! Went there for my bday and they made this amazing birthday plate for me! They overheard us talking about how I don't like desserts so they made a savory treat for me.

I used to think that Ichiban had the best sushi in town... this place might eclipse them. I've had their Ramen here before and it was great but this sushi though.... GAME CHANGER... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Stopped by Murasaki in Asheville for lunch and had the steak and shrimp — absolutely nailed it. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor, and the shrimp were fresh and seasoned just right. Portions were solid too. Service was quick and friendly, and the whole place had a clean, welcoming vibe. You can tell the owners/staff take pride in what they’re doing. Definitely one of the better lunch spots in Asheville. I’ll be back.

My husband and I love coming here for multiple reasons as listed above. The food is great. It comes out hot (if applicable) and presented nicely. Quality is awesome and the specials are always different. Service, always on top of our drinks (and I drink water like a fish out of water), kind, and doesn't hover. Atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and open. We love coming here as a date night.

I have never had a bad experience here. We live in North Asheville, but we make the trek (which is quite a bit of a pain sometimes because of all the construction on the highway) but it worth it to go here, because the rolls are so creative! It feels like it’s a step above some of the other offerings in town. Speaking of offerings, there are items here that are not available in other restaurants. And the presentation… the presentation of some the food is just exquisite. A picture is certainly worth 1000 words, so please take a look at some of these photos. Oh, they also have the hot ginger Honey tea, just wonderful on a cold day. I would agree with some folks that this is the best sushi in town.

This is an excellent place to eat. I will be going again. My table ordered miso pork soup and habichi chicken. Both meals were well prepared, fresh and delicious. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of dragon rolls and sushi. We went at lunch time and the food arrived quickly. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very relaxing.
