" I adore Murasaki! It’s the perfect escape from the bustling city. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxing, which is complemented by the great service. I splurged a bit on their cocktail specials, and it was worth every penny! The sushi was fresh, although the portions were on the smaller side. Regardless, I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Murasaki for the first time and was very impressed! The vibe is intimate, which is perfect for soft conversations over drinks. I had the ramen, which was good but not exceptional. The highlight was definitely the sake flight that allowed me to taste a variety of flavors. I’d absolutely recommend trying this place out, especially if you're with friends who love karaoke! " (*Curated Review*)

" Murasaki Sake Lounge offers an enchanting ambiance, perfect for both late-night drinks and cozy gatherings. I had the pleasure of trying a few cocktails that were mixed to perfection, showcasing a variety of flavors. Their staff was incredibly friendly and even chatted with us about the saké we ordered. This place is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Japanese culture! " (*Curated Review*)

" Murasaki has a lot of promise but unfortunately did not live up to my expectations. The service was friendly, but we had to wait quite a while for our food on a busy night. I ordered the ramen, but the flavor just wasn't what I was hoping for. I expected more authenticity in the dish. The drinks were nice and strong, so well done on that front. Might come back to give it another shot during a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Murasaki Sake Lounge is delightful! The atmosphere is enchanting, and we had a great time exploring their drink menu. Each dish we ordered was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the onigiri. The staff was attentive and kind, which made our visit even better. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Murasaki is a trendy little spot that I had the pleasure of experiencing. The ambiance is sleek, and the selection of drinks had me excited to try new things. The service was attentive but not intrusive, which I appreciated. I sampled the ramen and was pleased but wasn’t blown away. I would return for the vibe and drinks for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Murasaki provides a solid dining experience. While the drinks are phenomenal, I felt that the main dishes, such as ramen and curry, didn't quite match the high expectations set by the bar. The staff was pleasant and quick to serve us, creating a nice, relaxed environment. I would come back again for drinks but might skip the food next time. " (*Curated Review*)
