Hip & Pricey – Not your typical Japanese fare. The food is wonderful. If you want to go one step up beyond the sushi and rolls that you are used to, this the place to try something new. All the hype and light can be uber expensive.

Paid too much for the name – We came to Philly just for this restaurant. We both had the omakase (middle and top level) and it was decent, but just so. When you drop $250 for two, you expect more. There were some hits like the lightly seared yellowtail and the tuna tartare, but a lot of it was just average. The sushi plate was passable, but nothing special. The hostesses were obliging and courteous and our main waitress was great and attentive, but one of the serving waiters kept slurring the dish descriptions so we didn't k... read more

Omakase Experience – The $120 omakase is an amazing presentation of kobe beef and other delicacies that make the visit here worth it. Of the appetizers, the rock shrimp was delicious but anything else was a disappointment. Chef Morimoto apparently took great care in preparing the omakase menu but nothing else.

Morimoto's Food Exceptional – The food is absolutely world class. The ambiance is not. Take away the colorful lights and wave ceiling and the restaurant is basically a very noisy diner. This is too bad as Morimoto's genius can't fully be enjoyed in this atmosphere. Morimoto has done his part but his business partners have failed in their contribution. Order the omakase. The chef's creations are outstanding. Layers of flavors and texture. Everything is very fresh. The Chef's choice sake is exceptional. My wife would have pref... read more

Melt in your mouth sushi goodness – If you love good sushi, and want to experience the very best there is in the Philadelphia area (maybe the best in the world) then you should defintely go to Morimotos. The food is divine, and the service is excellent. Beware, Morimotos is not for the faint of wallet! The omakase is your best bet, since you get 7 (small) courses for $100.

Great Food – I had a set lunch. The price tag was high, but I think it was well worth it. The sushi (both the raw fish and the rice underneath it) was amazingly good. I had the miso soup and the tofu in the soup was the best I have ever had in my entire life. The appetizer and the entree were also excellent.
