Sushi Mur-Bah — Restaurant in Murwillumbah

Recent update - January 2024 I am writing this with a heavy heart, as I really want to support the local shops in town, but have to say I'm a little disappointed with my last couple experiences here.

The food is still reasonably good, sushi is still fresh, and tasty. However I feel that the value side isn't quite there when I compare to other sushi places in the Gold Coast region - the serving sizes are really on the smaller side.

I got two noodle plates today - one ramen, one udon. I'm a bit of a ramen geek, and while it was ok, it wasn't anything special. To be frank, I have probably made ramen at home myself from a packet that is almost as good. What was most disappointing was that I only got 2 pieces of chicken about golf ball size - for around $20. The udon had more chicken, but the meal was still not what I would call large. Soup needed more body also.

I would love to say I can't wait to go back to Sushi Murbah, but I'm more inclined to make the drive to Cooly and go...

Food is good. Service is bad. We have been on four different occasions and I was hoping we just had the odd bad experience but four times in the past 3 months is probably enough times to justify saying it’s bad service. We didn’t receive the rice we ordered tonight for takeaway which is such a bummer because I can’t do agedashi tofu with no rice my pregnant belly just can’t handle. Should’ve gone myself but sent someone else who didn’t double check. Ordered sashimi and agedashi tofu from the kitchen. Received agedashi tofu but no sashimi. Then had to wait for sashimi. Paid for rice but got no rice. Had to get cash out to pay for the order. Just little annoyances but all this together makes for a bad experience. Maybe it’s a communication issue between front of house...

I went on a Tuesday night. I had nigiri, tempura, takoyaki and miso. The vegetable tempura was perfect, with home made matcha salt. The nigiri was cross hatched by hand, nice touch which made it easier to dunk in the soy. The takoyaki was great on a bed of shredded purple cabbage. The miso soup came out at just the right temperature. The presentation was beautiful with really cool hand crafted bowls and the staff were really friendly and helpful. 10/10 would love to go...
