A Welcome Feast! – Morimoto is a jewel beyond compare. New York City resident foodies like myself having become weary of our berg's accomplished but entirely trumped-up and attitude-swathed eateries, have found that Philadelphia offers an astounding respectable alternative. Well worth the 90+ miles drive and lovely stayover in a great city.

great atmosphere – my friend and i flew all the way from atlanta, GA to NY and rode a smelly bus from NY to Philly and let me tell you, it was worth every bit of it. ive been a great fan of morimoto and he made me a bigger fan when he came over and asked us how we were doing. the service was super friendly. the iron chef, himself, was super welcoming and the food was super good. the steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare, with a crispy exterior and a juicy, pink interior...great steak!... the dessert (rice cake)---VERY DIFF... read more

Worth every $100's – 3 of us had the omakase at $100 each. There was not one course (out of 7) that was not remakable. It was worth the 4 week wait. The wait staff was very good. Well schooled in the dishes and the flavers that made them great. Great advice on food and drink. Not an every day place but one worth going back to over and over again

great sushi – Great atmosphere, very modern feel. The sushi is incredible, with the best uni I have eaten in the US. Prices are a liittle high, but the novelty of the dishes are worth it.

His cuisine reigns supreme. – As a huge fan of Iron Chef, I had to go to Morimoto's restaurant when I was in Philadelphia. It was a fantastic experience. I had the omakase (chef's choice) tasting meal, each course of which was incredible. I highly recommend giving it a try.

devine!! – I loved the place. Have watched IRON CHEF for the past several years and just had to go for dinner. The food was excellent- the enviroment just as spectacular. Would definately go again. A bit overpriced but great for a special date. Was astonished by the knowledge of our server of each dish and its unusual ingredients!

Just like Heaven! – For a birthday gift, my wife and I flew in from Cincinnati over the weekend for the sole purpose of eating at Morimoto. I can tell you that it was well worth the trip. Having read some of the early reviews I was a little worried about what the service was going to be like. Let me say this - everything was perfect! From the moment we arrived the wait staff was excellent. We sat at the sushi bar and ordered the top-level omakase. We had a front row seat for the Morimoto show. It was eight courses of pure he... read more

Awesome – The food was the best! The sushi was fresher than anything I have had in Hawaii or on the west coast. The tempura was crispy, but very flavorable, with a hint of gorganzola.

HUGE IRON CHEF FAN... – was star struck when I saw Morimoto preparing dishes for us. I am from NYC and frequent NOBU and was suprised to know that there were several dishes from NOBU at Morimotos restaurant. My favorite dish was the Oyster Foie Gras - it was impeccable. The Black Cod miso was not as good as NOBU's, but the decor and a glimpse of the Iron Chef was enough for me! I will definetely come back!
