Tips for a good time at Mura are sit at the bar and talk to the chefs. The menu at Mura isn't very good and there is a lot of great stuff that's not on there. There are also seasonal or hard to find fish that aren't listed on the menu because they don't always have them... Examples of great stuff I tried at Mura that isn't on the menu are The Screaming "O" roll, real Wasabi (not from powder), Sea Urchin, and Toro (fatty Blue Fin Tuna). These are things I never would have experienced had I not sat at the bar. The chef's know what's fresh and they know what they're good at, they won't recommend something they don't think you'll like, mainly because you're sitting right in front of them and they'll have listen to you complain :) So, ask the chef what's good, he'll ask you what you like, and the adventure starts there. Also, for a real adventure, stay away from the "boats" and "combos" they are fixed priced samplers and the chefs are limited in what they can serve you in them. Go a la cart, its only a little more expensive and the chef can really show off for you.
Pros: the chefs at the sushi bar, sake' selection, off-menu specialties, real wasabi
Cons: uninspired menu (see pros), little LED suns
