Good food, should be a better overall experience! – My husband and I dined for our anniversary and had the $100 Omakase, which is a chef's choice tasting menu with 8 courses. (You can choose the price from $60-$120 with dish selections increasing as price increase.) We also got the matching beverages for $65. We must say that every course was well presented and tasted fabulous but there are several details they are missing for this price point! Cheap wooden chop sticks that you have to break apart - like fast food take out c... read more
Worth the money if you're willing to spend it – Morimoto absolutely lived up to my high hopes. I took my boyfriend there to celebrate and we both ordered the omakase ($120/person) and the beverage omakase ($65/person). We had 8 excellent courses and each was paired with a beverage (red wine, white wine, sake, and a gin martini). I can't imagine going to Morimoto and getting anything else. It was very expensive but absolutely worth every penny. Every drink was great and there was such a diverse mix of food (raw fish, beef, sh... read more
superb and great – This is a sensational restaurant. The decor is amazing and the menu is fantastic as is the food as well as the great service. I enjoy the variety of the food and the helpful attitude of the staff
noisy chic – Morimoto - good side - well prepared food, delicate flavors. Portions small. Prices Very high. While the chopsticks are carefully placed with pebble and napkin, your silverware drops on your table at random from your waiter's hand - a little like a diner counter. No table cloth. Three at our table - food arrived at different times. Noisier than the loudest bar - is this some kind of "I'm in the middle of the fast lane chic". For the same price you eat at ease at Perrier or Deux Cheminees.
Phenomenal – Reservations are a must. We hadn't done our homework and just walked in at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and had incredible luck to get seated. 15 minutes later the place filled completely. The ambiance and the food are phenomenal, but save it for a very special occasion. $50/person is the absolute minimum that you will spend. Omikase is a good option if you are choice averse, otherwise you'll get a much better deal if you actively manage your order and pry the waiters for information. The waiters are very polite and pr... read more
A small escape to Eden – What can I say that has not already been said? From the design of the dining area and bathrooms, to the amazing variety and taste of the dishes and wine pairings, Morimoto's should be a "must-go" on anyone's list. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and there is nothing better than just sitting back and letting the perfectly paired courses come out one by one while you unwind, chat, and take in the light show!
A Night to Remember! – I planned a night of wining and dining for my boyfriend's birthday, bringing along two other couples, and boy(!) was it a night to remember. Service was impeccible - courteous, helpful, on the ball! Our table wasn't quite ready yet (I think we were also a couple minutes early), so we went upstairs for drinks at the bar. Cocktails were amazing, and Morimoto's has their own bottled beer! The table was an average size, the room was very trendy, and definitely loud, which made it difficult to talk, and a l... read more
Expensive as Hell, but worth it – Like most Starr restaurants, Morimoto is a blast if you've got the cash. The food is actually hit or miss here. I've been here a couple of times and my meals have ranged from solidly above average to sublime. I highly recommend the rock shrimp tempura or any of the sushi. Be warned though, sushi in Philadelphia is never as good as LA or NYC. For the best experience, I recommend coming on a weekday with some friends, sitting upstairs, ordering several appetizers, and drinking your face off. I... read more
At least once in your lifetime... – You have to go here if you're one to appreciate fine dining and a culinary experience. Our meal was exquisite, service was impeccable, and Morimoto shaking our hand was the icing on our cake. This is not just fine dining--it is an experience. I would not come here just for the sushi. Everytime we come we order the specials--and they never dissappoint.
