Great restaurant – I had been loooking forward to going to Morimoto's and I was not disappointed at all. The food was delicious and I loved the decor of the restaurant. I had some nigiri sushi and the yellowtail on rice in stone pot. The sushi was so fresh and delicious, and the rice was good as well. I only wish I had more room to try more of the apetizers.
Sublime in every way – I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Morimotos for a special Food Network promotion. One hundred of us or so were treated to one of the best dining experiences ever! We started with an open bar of delicious sake cosmos, martinis and amuse bouche of tuna pizzas (YUM!) and various sushi. What followed was the famed 9 course omakase menu with Morimoto himself presenting every dish. The toro tartare was sweet & sublime. The Kobe (American) beef with foie gras was unbelievable. And each course was expe... read more
More, Morimoto! – It was a special occasion and was quite expensive. But it was also possibly the best dining experience I have ever had. The food and service were excellent. The decorating has won several international awards and was very interesting and fun. My children (8 + 11) were treated like visiting royalty though it really isn't a standard kids' venue. We were all charmed when Chef Morimoto himself came out of the kitchen to pose for a photo! A very memorable night out.
Eel and avocado bliss – Having eaten Japanese cuisine from Tokyo to San Francisco to New York, I have to say I was very impressed. I went for lunch and had the yellow tail lunch set, which was prepared perfectly. My lunchmates and I shared two rolls, the spicy tuna roll and the eel and avocado roll. The spicy tuna roll was pretty standard, but the eel and avocado roll was the best I've ever had. The decor is extremely trendy, maybe a bit too much as it does not create a very comfortable atmosphere. I doubt I'd bring a date h... read more
Allez Cuisine!!! – This was one of the best meals I ever ate. The tuna tartare was amazing. The miso encrusted cod was outstanding. The sushi was good, but lagged a little behind the quality of the other dishes. I recommend going for lunch. Its the same menu, but half the price. I felt like I was on Iron Chef eating all the wonderful/beautiful dishes. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Philly.
Art of Subtlety – This really was a great experience. You can stare at the dining room for hours. Subtle flavors delight the senses. I had the $120 Omakase menu. The highlights were the tuna tartar, the yellow tail with wasabi vinaigrette, kobe beef with foie gras and the finishing sushi. Lobster was good but not as impressive as other items. Desserts were less than stellar. It could just be that I dont like subtle desserts. A great dining experience for those with a refined sense of taste.
Morimoto's place in Philly--fabulous! – My friend had the omakase dinner. Course after course of dainty, gorgeous little plates, some had caviar and fois gras on top for decoration. He was slightly disappointed with the sushi, the rolls were very small. I had the tofu appetizer, with a ssmall dollop of caviar. Entree was the King Yellowtail, prepared tableside on a stone bowl. The rice was so delicious. Moromoto has his own brand of beer and we were able to bring home the bottles. I was disappointed in my Wasabi Tiramisu; I ... read more
This Is The New Standard – What really impressed me was not the food (which was world class) but the service. The place looks so hip you kind of expect a certain degree of snottiness to come your way from the service. Not true at all. The place has an unusually warm vibe and this is because the people who work there from the host to the Morimoto himself are all really nice people. I think this is because of Morimoto who is really down to earth and funny. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen in a restaurant too.
The best. – Morimoto is the most exciting restaurant in Philadelphia, perhaps the country. The food is off-the-charts! The rest of the Starr group's food is assembly-line in comparison. And they're not bad!! It is a second mortgage to eat there, but take the plunge. It is worth every penny.
