The Best Sushi – I spent 2 1/2 years in Okinawa with side trips to Japan. I have never had better sushi. And the fushion dishes were excellent and a pleasant addition to the menu, especially since there are many traditional Japanese dishes that I have tried that I would just as soon not eat again. The wait staff were knowledgeable and worked hard to please. They were particularly helpful since my wife has some food allergies. My pre-teen daughters had never eaten at a Japanese restaurent before, and I was worried that they w... read more

good, expect more – We came to Philly just to visit this restaurent. One of us had the omakase (middle price) and it was excellent. The other had the chef's sushi plate (highest price). I wouldn't recommend doing that. The sushi plate was good, but nothing really new on the plate. If you are looking for innovative food and some sushi, the omakase is far better. The surroundings are gorgeous, but some attention should be paid to the washrooms. The women's is well designed but looking a bit rundown (door latches need repair). ... read more

Ohhh the sake! – One is struck with a succulent raw fish smell as soon as you walk in. Is this for real or piped in? We were sat immediately and proceeded to have one of the flashiest and best meals we have had in a while. The sake is made for Morimoto, and I am sad that I cannot buy it, because I have never had better, floral, delicate, nothing like the warm stuff served in most places. There was plenty for me, a vegetarian, but my spouse had the $80 chef's choice and was well-pleased with the endless stream of food. I had ... read more

high prices=good restaurant? – this is a fun place. after all, it is a steven starr experience. however, it's not all that. long waits, decent, but not extraordinary food, and the worst seats i have ever sat it! i know that it is very trendy to slouch, but my mother raised me better and these boothes will only allow one to eat lying down. i had a nice time, but a dinner for 4 for 400.00 i would have asked for a bit more.

Marvelous! – I was in town at a conference and being a huge Iron Chef fan had to make a stop at Morimoto. I was worried that I would've needed to make reservations months in advance, but I was actually able to call and make reservations for an hour after my phone call. The omikase was incredible and exotic. Seven months after I still can't stop thinking about how wonderful everything tasted. The highlight, of course, was meeting Morimoto in the flesh and taking a picture with him. What fun!

It grows on you... – Iron Chef rocks, food is delicious but expensive. Diner for two starts from 80/90 and up... it is definitely worth a try.

Great Sushi! – I went with three die-hard sushi fans. Two of us ordered shushi ala carte, the third orderd the $100 chef's selection. Can't say enough good things about the experience.

2 out of 3 – The decor is an excessive attempt to be trendy--likely the reason for the uncomfortable seats. I think the bar upstairs is cool though. I got consistently outstanding service. As far as food goes...The first time I went, my 5 friends and I all LOVED everything. The next time was a big let down, even though we got a couple of things we had before. Considering the prices, I don't think it should be up to chance whether the food is good. But when the food is done right, it's totally worth the price. And my 3rd dinn... read more
