    It's beyond doubt that Morimoto is a culinary genius, but our visit to this restaurant was a bit underwhelming. Starters: the A5 Wagyu carpaccio was brilliant, the fish carpaccio was good too but practically the same recipe (only with fish). The Morimoto sake selection was good. Mains: the grilled black cod was nice, but not more than that, the ishiyaki buro bop was disappointing. Dessert: highly disappointing that classical deserts which are supposed to be GF, are not. Skipped.

    Appetizers, main dishes and desserts were all really good. Service was fast, but not pushy. Our server Karin was awesome and we will definitely request for her next time.

    Great experience! The hospitality from the hostess, server and staff was wonderful. This was our first time to dine at Morimoto Asia, and our server Joe was attentive and knowledgeable, and made experience even better for our Anniversary. Thank you!

    We had a reservation for a party of six at 8:30 PM. Waiter came by took our water order, then drinks and a few appetizers. It’s now getting to about 9:10 PM at 9:15. He comes over and says I’m sorry there was an issue with the chef. He decided to shut down the kitchen. We will no longer be making your food. It was not the servers fault but poor Management.. ours was an important business dinner. If you plan on doing something important here like Valentine’s Day or just a special evening, I would stay away.

    Definitely not what Morimoto used to be. It used to be a culinary experience now it is just a restaurant like any other. And not a great one.

    Food was amazing, very unique dishes! Staff were very pleasant and accommodating… even lowered sun shades to help shield against the setting sun without us having to ask… then raised them back up so we could enjoy the view! Fantastic place to celebrate our anniversary… even got a special treat to commemorate the evening… 100/10
