Best Sushi Ever – I went to Morimoto on Sunday night for the first time with very high expectations. What an amazing dining experience. I had been told by friends not to expect to see Morimoto, but they were wrong. We had dinner at the sushi bar, and Morimoto was there making the sushi. I had read some negative reviews so I was a little nervous, but the food was definitely worth the price. An unforgetable dining experience.
A Must Try – This was one of the restaurant in Philly that I promised myself I would try before graduating from Penn. It did it four times. For the beginner coming here, you should definitely try the medium prized sampler option. This is such a great way to taste the different variety of dishes that this restaurant offers. The best part is that if you come back again and still want the sampler, all you have to do is tell the waitress this is your second time around. She will make sure to tell the chef and he will use more ex... read more
Great Sake list! – I dined at Morimoto for the first time the other night. I had never seen a sake list so extensive. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and patient while guiding us through our options. We both had the Morimoto Omakase. We chose to have each course paired with wonderful premium sake. The service, food, and beverages were all excellent and we can't wait to return!
Not worth the hype or trip – Having heard of Morimotos for years, I had to pay a visit to the famed restaurant (along with a few other places in Philly) on my recent visit to town. The ambiance was nice and comfy. The second floor bar seemed like a cool place to meet people. Once we were seated, the waitstaff had an attitude that they work in the finest restaurant anywhere and were not very helpful when asked for an explanation. It was interesting to see the bottom of their shirt scrape over my food when they lean over to pu... read more
Whats happened to this place? – First time I went I was amazed, the sushi was terrific and the service great even if the decor and atmosphere ridiculous. I've been back basically once a year now, and each time seems to be disappointing. The last time was last week, for a friends birthday. Aside from the 30 minute wait to be seated the sashimi/nigiri chefs selection we ordered was really disappointing. I guess it wouldn't have been as bad if my expectation hadn't been high. But then again, that sort of the point of a place li... read more
Birthday and Wedding Anniversary Night Out............. – First, I have to tell you that I did my research on this restaurant before I actually stepped into the door... I knew what I was spending and what type of surrounding I was going to be getting. From the time that I stepped into the door, I was spoiled. We had our car valet parked, Coats were taken at the door, the upstairs had lots of ambience...Very different pieces of Art Work that surround you... I ordered a Bellini which was a very tasteful Drink. I would recommen... read more
be prepared for disappointment – it used to be a fun, indulgent, creative dining experience. now it is expensive and boring. and if you order the chef's choice sushi, don't be surprised when the server doesn't know the fish.
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic – I love this place. I usually get the sushi when I go, because it seems to be a bit more reasonably priced than some other things on the menu. The $50 sushi platter and two appetizers is plenty for two people to share. I also recommend the miso clam soup, and the warm mushroom salad might be the best appetizer on the planet. The service is always attentive and competent.
BADLY WANTING – If you want to be among those who think they are special, those who need to be seen to feel a sense of self worth, this is the place. The staff are friendly, but stand-off-ish, as though you should feel privileged to be in their restaurant. The sushi was wanting, particularly for the price charged; a few pieces were literally stringy and uneatable. I have dined at some of the top sushi restaurants in the world and this one isn't among them; in fact, it isn't even average. If you desire very good sushi at a re... read more
