Philly = Morimoto, AI, Will Smith, Rocky – The place is great!! Both really good food, but GREAT Service for a trendy restaurant. To start the evening, we had to make changes to our party size..usually to add more people at a packed restaurant is troublesome, but the staff at Morimoto accomodated us immediately. Also, due to Philadelphia Law, corkage is only allowed if accompanied by a reciept. Unfortunately, coming from California, we were not aware of this, and the staff had not informed us of this. The hostess Christine a... read more
Glitz good for frenemies – Upon entering, I was arrested by the decor: sparse walls, glass booths with multicolored, changing lights, etc. After waiting for half-an-hour (the bar upstairs was too crowded to wait in), we were seated at a side table with a complete view of the restaurant. Our waiter was attentivebringing a new napkin even before I had noticed mine had fallenand impeccably polite. The food, particularly the fresh tofu, was divinerich and delicate flavors. The major flaw with my dining experience was that I like... read more
Deserves his title of Iron Chef !!! – One of the best dining experience, with absolutely superb service and a perfectly balanced meal, all while sitting in a neo-Japanese decor with color changing tables and chairs. My girlfriend and I had the $120 Omakase, which included 9 courses of the chef's choice. Some of the best dishes were the tuna toro tartar, Chilean sea bass, spicy king crab legs, trio of oysters, and the freshest sushi plate imaginable... but nothing beats the seared foie gras over kobe beef. To top it off, the ... read more
Excellent tasting menu – The omakase is memorable. Nice helpful staff. Will definitely go again.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! – I'm a NY-er and I've been to a ton of great sushi restaurants in NYC but Morimoto tops them all. The minute I walked in, my boyfriend and I were given 5-star treatment from the hostess, manager, and Morimoto himself! Our reservation was at 10:30 on a weekend. We were seated at 10:35 and the hostess apologized profusely for seating us late even though neither of us complained. She then sent over a delicious complimentary rock shrimp appetizer! Later the manager came by to make sure we were enjoying dinner... read more
Our Favorite Restaurant! – My boyfriend and I LOVE Sushi, so we were saving up for the Iron Chef's divine restaurant. We sat at the Sushi Bar and ordered the Omakase (definitely worth the $$$ if you are a real fan of Sushi/Japanese cuisine.) Morimoto himself was actually there that night! He was mainly back and forth between the kitchen and behind the Sushi Bar. We loved it so much we made reservations for Valentine's Day 2005 (but had to make them in the end of Jan. and needed a $70 deposit per person). Yeah, ouch. But wort... read more
What a let down! – Perhaps I'm jaded, having just moved back from NYC, but I remember the Philly restaurant scene much better than this. I was so excited about Mori, having heard so much in the press. I went there twice, and found the place to be highly overrated. The food is fine, but far from great. There are some disappointments on the menu. Yes, this is the place to see and be seen, but that's about it.
worth the trip and the cash – I went this past Saturday with a party of 6 who all decided on the $120 omakase. My friend had a cracked glass and notified the waiter who gave us a complimentary bottle of Fiji water; a nice gesture. Every dish was absolutely amazing, but the toro tartare, kobe beef, and lobster epice was beyond amazing. Other reviews say the lobster is overpowered by the spice, but I thought it worked perfectly. I'm not too large a fan of sashimi so the second to last didn't wow me as much as it did the others... read more
Worth the occasional indulgence – The moment we walked through the door, the senses were ignited by the expansive dining room with neon lighting emerging through the floor panels. We started with the Morimoto sashimi which proved to be excellent, but the appetizer that sticks out in my mind was the Spicy King Crab, whose sauce will prove to be too spicy and powerful for some, but for me perfectly highlighted the great taste of the crab and left me wanting more. I had the Chilean Sea Bass, the perfectly cooked meat disintegra... read more
