    Amazing food and presentation. And… the vibe is really cool. Lighting, music, staff and clientele- Steve Starr restaurants are cool.

    Ordered the Omakase with beverage pairings. Both the food and the service were outstanding.

    Been a regular at Morimoto.The servers were good but not attentive as they were busy. The food was excellent. A suggestion would be to update the menu with more vegetarian options.

    What can I say this is hands-down the best Asian restaurant I’ve eaten at in a long time (since Nobu in Vegas) . The highest quality seafood and sushi at reasonable prices. Love the interior and even the bathrooms

    I have an allergy and I was assured this would be ok. The process failed and I was not treated properly but rather was questioned. Will never go back. For that much money the customer service should have been significantly better.

    Absolutely the best Japanese upscale restaurant in Philadelphia. We have been coming for years , every year we visit Philadelphia , it’s #1 stop. Always consistent, the best sushi hands down and the best seafood!! The atmosphere is like nowhere else, feels so incredible, cozy and fun :)

    Mixed bag. Drinks list is terrific and some of the things we ordered were truly exceptional (that miso black cod!!, hamachi ponzu). But others were uninteresting, weird (toro tartare), or one-dimensional (rock shrimp tempura, seafood toban yaki). The sashimi was divine, but the sushi rolls, strangely, used mashed fish. The service was courteous and I appreciated being unhurried, but there were long periods of no attention from the server & we had to flag them down from time to time. Glad I gave it a shot, but given the competition in Philly, there are better choices.
