    Very over priced for the service and food. It’s white cloth prices in lilies better than doraku or cheesecake factory. Highly doubt that Morimoto has anything to do with other than name. Nothing like Morimoto restaurant that was in the ilikai. Drop prices 50% and it would be 4 stars.

    Outstanding dinner experience. Our server Yoon was amazing and attentive. The food was amazing. Highly recommended the angry lobster. I could’ve had a second serving 🤣 🤤

    This is one of our go to restaurants in HNL. We have been going here since it opened and as well to its predecessor at the Modern. While the food is exquisite (sticky ribs are the best you will ever have), we have determined that the real reason we keep coming back is the staff. This year, they confirmed that beyond our expectations. Bryan was our server and he was fantastic, enthusiastic and friendly. The manager, Vinnie, came over to our table and a good visit turned into something truly memorable! Thank you Vinnie! We look forward to continuing to come back; for the food but more importantly, the amazing/great/welcoming staff!

    A fantastic evening. The spicy chicken wontons are a must! And the black pepper beef was amazing.

    We chose Morimoto based on the international reputation of the chef and restaurant as well. We were disappointed at the level of service though. The server wasn’t attentive to us and it took forever to get our order, food and check. They even forgot to include my miso soup in the initial order and till I reminded them it wasn’t added. Since it was my birthday I had high expectations for this meal. Needless to say they weren’t met and we probably won’t visit this restaurant when we are in Waikiki next time around.

    View was great and view out to the ocean is beautiful. All meals were spectacular. Recommend everything we ate. Spicy wontons, fried rice, black pepper beef, surf and turf sushi and gyoza. Dessert was ok, but would rather an appetiser over the doughnut’s. We felt like we were being rushed through dinner, even tho it wasn’t fully booked out. I would absolutely come back here.
