Memorable and fun. – If you're going to go and spend the big bucks at Morimoto's, go for the chef's omakase tasting extravaganza and you won't be disappointed. Chose the level to match your indulgence and savor delicate courses and tastes of sushi, beef, fish, sobet, salad...everything so fresh and unique you'll want to savor every last bite slowly. An experience all Philly diners should enjoy at least once, and you won't regret paying the bill.
Finally, real Japanese food! – Bar none, the best Japanese restaurant on the East Coast. Everything from the Foie Gras to the soba noodles to the Wasabi Tiramisu was fantastic! Unlike the typical California type sushi restaurants who serve nothing but elaborate rolls, this place has worked it sushi items like you'd expect to find in Japan...simple, but fresh and oh so appetizing! This place rocks!
This Place is Fantastic! – This is a true dining experience. The presentation, food, and atmosphere are top notch! I highly recommend Morimoto to anyone in search of quality food and a great night out!
One of the best - period! – After six visits, Morimoto continues to delight. The omakase is definitely the way to go on your first visit. Although prices vary, often times it's just a matter of ingredients, i.e. the $80 set course will use maguro while the $120 will use toro and caviar. The sushi served is the best in Philly. It is definitely worth additional visits to try the other dishes on the menu, including a very interesting tofu dish that is prepared table side. The only disappointment was the green tea soba noodles. ... read more
A dining adventure! – At Morimoto be prepared to taste some sublime foods, especially if you order the tasting menu (omakaze) We have tried the $100 and $120 ones, highlights of which were fatty toro tuna tartare with caviar (indescribably smooth), thinly sliced kobe beef that melted in your mouth, and sushi that was far and away better than what you'd find in a grocery, especially the toro tuna. Other things to get are crab appetizer, sea bass entree, chicken entree (really!) and soft shell crab roll. The food is generally ... read more
Better Than Nobu (NYC) – We took a weekend trip to Philly to try out Morimoto. We were eager to compare Morimoto to Nobu, one of our favorite NYC restaurants. And the winner is: Morimoto! (a photo finish) Definitely try it out -- it's worth the price.
best sushi in town – Best Sushi in town. In fact, the omakase sushi dinner in my opinion is a steal. You can also get lots of exotic tastes and great combinations of ingredients which is not surprising from an Iron Chef. The staff is knowledgeable and very dedicated. Some dishes might be overpriced, 'over-pi-zazed', and youre better off getting your desserts elsewhere.
Good, but not special – Food very inventinve and fun. Atmosphere cool. Staff very nice. Without a doubt food and wine are overpriced, but that is part of the deal. What was missing was a zing or spark to make this place special. I got the feeling everyone was going through the motions. Morimoto should be striving to give diners an extraordinary occasion dinner. And it doesn't. Food is exactly what you order - with no twists or turns (beyond what is described). There should be hot towels, small tastes/morsels of exotic treats... read more
Good sushi... yum! – The Iron Chef knows his sushi!!! I had the Chefs combo which was a great selection of seafood salmon, tuna, yellowtail, needlefish, etc loved it all, except the Japanese custard cake not my thing. Others in the group had the Chilean sea bass delicious!!! Tender and flavorful yum! Another had the Char not too bad either. The only disappointing thing was the appetizer we had the Dote Nabe (miso oysters). It was $15, but only 4 or 5 little tiny oysters, and the presentation was just ok. I would definitely g... read more
