Best sushi I've ever had. – The sushi at Morimoto is just so fresh and so good. I highly recommend you to come for sushi, try out their big combo. However, I don't recommend eating other food at Morimoto, they're kinda sweet and I was not happy with the Udon or fried rice that my friends ordered. But for sushi, Morimoto maybe the best place in town.

The sushi is amazing – Ialways have the best time here. My fiancee and I eat here several times a month and always enjoy everything. The california rolls are out of this world as are the rest of the sushi and sahimi dishes.

Exceptional – The absolute best of thre best. The sushi is wonderous and the drinks as well as the ambiance make you feel terrific. I especially adore the philadelphia roll and the crunchy dragon rolls. The fish dishes are super

Unforgetable experience – I dined at morimoto for the 1st time in 2 years since moving away from Philly. I had a great experience. Although I didn't dine on the omakase as I have in the past, I thoroughly enjoyed my ala carte items. The sushi was fresh and absolutely delicious. The miso soup is some of the best I've ever had. My husband enjoyed his meal as well (he had the buri bop). The service at morimoto is some of the best in town. They are always going out of their way to make you feel welcome and always very helpful wi... read more

Somewhat dissappointed – While I admire the majority of Stephen Starr's restaurants (Buddakan and Alma de Cuba win for me), I was rather dissappointed in my Morimoto experience. The decor was phenomenal--striking, fun, and eclectic. As an avid sushi diner, I must admit that it is truly delicious. What dissappointed me, however, was the service. My father and I dined here and opted for the $120 Chef's Omakase, which came highly recommended by several friends and our server. While the presentation and food impressed, the time ... read more

Sushi, sushi, sushi – I had the seasonal tasting menu last time I ate at morimoto but my friend had the sushi and said it was the best she had ever had. So this visit I dined on sushi. OH MY!! Really great. I tried a chef's combination which leaves the fish up to the chef. I had sushi and rolls, I loved everything. I was alone so I decided to sit at the sushi bar(you don't have to eat sushi if you sit there). The gentleman next to me, had the current tasting menu of squash...I think he had 4 courses(at least before I left) a... read more

The Single Best Dining Experience of My Life – Morimoto is not just a meal... it is truly a dining experience. The Omakase is the only way to go at this restaurant. Place your trust in the hands of the chefs and you will most definitely not be disappointed. The more you're willing to spend the higher quality selections they'll give you. We went with the $200/person Omakase which ended up being 12 courses including lobster, kobe beef, foie gras and some of the rarest fish in the world. (Our first course alone was valued at ov... read more

holy decor batman!!! – Super snazzy decor makes any meal here feel like a celebration! The upstairs bar/lounge is my favorite corner to get away and scarf down a few of the superb selections from their sushi menu! I use spicy tuna rolls as my litmus to judge sushi restaurants (because I'm crazy like that!) and this is by far the home of the best one I've ever eaten! Their selection of fish is among the best I've seen, so if you like trying new things, this is the place to be!

One of Philly's most notable chefs dishes out innovative sushi cuisine in a bright, bustling atmosphere. – In Short Just beyond neon-chartreuse glass doors, Chef Morimoto's elongated culinary theater welcomes diners with undulating bamboo ceilings, color-changing booths and the Iron Chef, himself, presiding over a sushi bar in back. Morimoto transforms the simplest sushi, serving eel lightly sweet, salmon subtly buttery, soft-shell crab perfectly crisped. But the specialty here is Japanese fusion: tempura with Gorgonzola sau... read more
