Morimoto.... one of the most interesting restaurants I have ever visited. – It is hard to say whether the unusual ambiance or the wonderful food are the biggest draw at Marimoto. Everything we had to eat was delicious, and we found the gently changing light schemes very romantic and relaxing. It is hard to describe, so I would certainly recommend you try it for yourself.
Worth experiencing once. – My husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law and I ate at Morimoto's 2 days ago. I rarely order a pre-dinner drink but decided to try one seeing that this restaurant has quite a following. I had a Shiso-juto. It was very well done. Our appetizers were very good as well. The toro tartar is excellent. We had the signature "tuna pizza." It was ok. I found it be rather pedestrian in flavor and originality. We also tried several maki rolls, all of which were outstanding. For an entree, I just got more sush... read more
Great Decor and Funky, but Overpriced a bit – I loved the look of this place, but left with empty pockets and a semi-emply stomach. I think I would go here to hang out and have a drink again, but would go some place a little less expensive to eat sushi.
Truffle Menu – Went to morimoto last night and tried the seasonal truffle menu. It was amazing! there were courses from the sushi bar (my favorite was the kobe short rib with truffles) and also from the hot kitchen...each course was creative and the meal really builds and crescendos with a fantastic dessert. Well worth the seasonal splurge. I think it is being offered thru new year's eve. A must have for truffle enthusiasts and morimoto fans
Good sushi but overpriced – This restaurant is very chic, but our dinner was just OK and I think it was overpriced. I would not recommend it over Gengi and some of the other better sushi restaurants in the city.
Style over Substance – Indeed, Morimoto is the type of swank joint that you would expect out of any Star restaurant. And the service is truly outstanding. Unfortunately, that's where the compliments end. The sushi out Morimoto is nothing short of disappointing (You'd never know that from the prices, though). The sushi that we got on our tasting menu was not good. Although there were some interesting and relatively rare selections, the sushi had that "fishy" taste and smell that alerts you to less-than-fresh options. Furtherm... read more
Heirloom Tomato Dream... – On a recent trip to one of my favorite restaurants in the city, I had the pleasure of walking into Morimoto to the surprise of not only the omakase tasting menu to which the restaurant is known for but a new addition to the prixe fixe standard. Not only was the omakase offered but we were informed of the addition of a monthly rotating seasonal tasting menu. The ingredient of choice (as if it were truly the Iron Chef television show!) was heirloom tomatoes. More affordable than the traditional omaka... read more
Great sushi, but BYOTP – The sushi was great, the best we've had so far in the city. The other dishes we tried were good, but not quite worth the prices. What really shocked me, though, was the fact that there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, AT ALL. In NONE of the stalls. A restaurant of this supposed quality needs to pay more attention to detail -- this is more like what I'd expect from McDonalds. Absolutely shameful, will not be back.
Amazing sushi and a great decor – I adore the sushi and the way the staff is so accomodating. The portions are just the right size and the variety of fresh sushi and sahimi are fabulous. I especially love the eel rolls and the spicy dragon rolls.
