09/03/2026: I've been frequenting Murataya for a while, and for me, it's one of Saronno's go-to places for authentic Japanese cuisine. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and the quality is immediately apparent, especially in the sushi and sashimi, which are prepared with great precision and respect for the ingredients.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a Ramen evening, and I must say it was an extraordinary surprise: the broth was deep and rich in umami, perfectly balanced, one of the best I've ever tried.
The ambiance is refined, the atmosphere is calm, and the service is always attentive. This is a place I continue to recommend to anyone looking for a true Japanese cuisine experience in the area.
03/03/2026: Didn't live up to expectations.
I was intrigued by the high reviews, but unfortunately I was disappointed. The restaurant presents itself as an authentic, high-end Japanese restaurant. The decor is elegant and the service excellent, but we're disappointed by the food.
I had a California roll, and the salmon was a bit bland. The sushi selection is very basic and international, with a marked lack of nigiri and more authentic rolls.
The gyudon was also good, though. It had beef stew, but unfortunately, it's nothing like a real gyudon.
A little less good was the barking dog in the kitchen.
