Mura is a Japanese fusion restaurant serving world renowned Kobe beef, a variety of steaks, seafood, mixed cuisine and the finest grade sushi with many one of a kind rolls and visually pleasing artistic presentations.
"Mura has always been one of my fave restaurants in the triangle -- I used to consider it the best sushi restaurant in the triangle. I recently went there on a Sunday night. The fish, usually very fresh, was not up to Mura quality. Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurrent trend the past few times I have been there. I worry that it is possibly going downhill. Also, they used to include soup / salad with the sushi entrees, they no longer do, you have to order separately. It feels a bit like nickel and diming. Of course, service varies based on your server- ours was polite but really slow, and forgot several of our orders. Very weak. The hostess was polite and quick.
Overall, I fear that Mura has fallen from the top tier of restaurants..."

"Nice outdoor seating in outdoor mall next to fountain. Food was really good! Service a bit slow. I think waiter was in the weeds with only a few tables..."

"Good food, great service, and close enough to hear the live music at North Hills. I would recommend MURA to anyone who enjoys sushi rolls and tasty adult beverages!"

"I'm not sushi fan so can't tell you how it taste but Dinnermates said it was great. It looked very pretty. My steak was horrible, fatty and flavorless. Dinnermate's Filet was improperly cooked twice. Those who got the NY Strip Hibachi thought fatty too. One other thought it was good so they all agreed he got the good meat the others got the fatty grisle meat. Teriaki glaze on steaks tasted like it came from a bottle. In theory i guess this is a sushi place so stick with that, but if restaurant is going to offer steaks, especially at those prices, should be up to caliber with rest of menu. Overall, not nearly as impressed with Mura as Mura is with itself. (Figure shared app/salad, entree, 2 drinks...$50 a person)"

"The restaurant is located within the North Hills street of shops, so on a nice day, I think the outdoor dining would be great. However, the day was rainy and cold so we couldn't sit outside. The Buy one and get half off rolls was nice. The food and service were overall good but there was a large and very noisy group in the private table areas who were extremely noisy."

"It was me and my date first time dining here. I heard it was amazing by so many people. It was everything everyone said it would be from beginning to end. We had the Kukani Roll, Seafood Trio , the Sake, the Crab Cake; and Hibachi Chicken. Everything was amazingly fresh will definitely come back."

"Everything was fine, My only real complaint is when the server dropped off our 5 different sushi rolls, he didn't bother telling us which one was which. And, he left the table so fast, we couldn't ask him."

"Waiter was great. It was a little noisy when I was expecting more of a romantic atmosphere. The suishi was great suishi, but I have certaintly had better for a better price. There was delay in our service but the restuarant provided a complimentary desert for our troubles. Honestly the desert was the best, best quality, part of the meal."

"Every time I have eaten at Mura has been a wonderful experience. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable in how the food is prepared, as well as willing to make adjustments if you have dietary needs. The chefs have never disappointed me or my groups with the food or the new menu items. A great place to go!"

"The food was good but nothing that can't be found in any sushi restaurant, and you pay a little more here. The coconut shrimp app was really disappointing. You get 2 butterflied shrimp that are so coated in batter you wonder where the meat is. The rest of the app is onion rings and fried avocado. The duck was good, but, again, nothing stood out."

"We went on a Tuesday, where they offer buy one roll, get one half off, as well as $5 martinis! The seaweed salad was a great appetizer. It is a little different than most sushi restaurants, as they put it over some greens and add a ginger dressing which is a great way to serve it. Excellent sushi rolls and the service was very good. I also highly recommend the fried cheesecake dessert, it was delicious. We will be coming back on a Tuesday for sure!"

"Love, Love, Love Mura. Found by accident while visiting Raleigh and made it a point to eat at Mura during my last visit to Raleigh again. Food outstanding, staff very accomodating, service was good considering how crowded the restaurant was and food was served in a timely friendly manner."

"Loved dining at Mura. The food was fantastic. We ordered the Firecracker shrimp for app... yum! Our main dishes took a while to get to the table. We ordered 2 rolls which were very tasty and super fresh as well as the Kobe short ribs which just melted in our mouth. The short ribs came with blue mashed potatoes (which were kinda dry) and some yummy tempura green beans. The only negative, we had an "odd" waiter. He would come up to the table and pause for an awkward 3 seconds and then ask us a question. Several times he forgot what we had told him, so he'd have to repeat our requests. But, this would not stop us from returning! Definitely a fun place to go out for either a romantic or a group dinner. Go, you won't be disappointed!"

"Loved it!! The sushi was so unique and inventive. The Screaming "O" roll was truly fantastic, as was the Banana Cheesecake Maki dessert. So sorry that we don't live locally and can't go more often, but we will definitely be back next time we're in Raleigh!"

"The rolls are very good and the fish is fresh. The seaweed salad is a little pricey, but that is my only complaint. The Sin City roll is outstanding!"

"We have been to Mura several times and it is always very good! I have only tried the rolls and sushis but the fish is always very fresh. The gyoza for appetizers are also great! Service is very good."

"Food was a little overpriced for the quality. Very loud. Wait staff was slow, but very friendly. Not sure I would go back, didnt knock my socks off. I think this place is more of a "meet up and have drinks" place than "lets go on a date" kind of place."

"I arrived approximately 15 minutes prior to our reservation time. The hostess was very accomodating and seated us immediately. The service was prompt, food was delicious and well prepared. This was kinda of a reward dinner for my wife and I, so I really wanted it to be memorable and it was. Great job....will be back."

"If you love sushi, Mura is the place to have it. Great environment, excellent food. My only regret is that they took beef tataki off the menu. I was sad - but it was still a great experience."
