Muracci's healthy, affordable Japanese food to go includes meat and vegetarian curries, noodle soups, donburi, salads and sushi.. Located in the heart of the Financial District, weekday lunchtimes see Muracci's tiny interior crammed with city workers ordering to go or eating at the countertop seats inside. Muracci's signature dish is its curry, which is simmered for two days beforehand to give it its thick, creamy texture. Choose from mild, medium or hot variations of chicken, beef, prawn, katsu (fried pork) or vegetable, all of which are served with either white or brown rice. Hot noodle soups, donburi and salads, as well as a small but discerning sushi menu are served alongside set lunch options like chicken teriyaki, salad, mini-appetizers, steamed rice and miso soup. Overall, the daily lines inside Muracci's indicate that it has struck the elusive balance of being affordable food-on-the-go that is still healthy and easy on the waistline.
