   Morimoto's had a modern art deco vibe. Nestled away in the city, it was like finding a hidden jewel. We were celebrating a 40th birthday so we went with the omakase(tasting menu)! It did not disapoint! It was my first time there but it won't be my last! A memory maker for sure!

   the food wasn’t that good, for how expensive it is the portions were so small, it was very loud in the room, we waited 2 hours for our food, they didn’t really check on us or give us updates on when the food would be out.

   we have been here many times and still is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly. The omakasa is always different with the finest fish and other ingredients

   The food was good, no doubt about it. The sushi is fresh and on point as you would expect, and the desserts were very nice. But the value wasn't all that great. I ordered one of the most expensive entree items, miso black cod, from the menu. It was _just_ the fish. No side, nothing else on the plate other than a tiny token garnish of some roe. The server belatedly came back to our table after we had placed our order and mentioned that there was nothing else accompanying this item and, "Would you like to order a side?" He recommended either rice or potatoes, but both were fairly pricey for what they were. Very disappointing that at a price point of almost $50 for the plate, there was nothing else on it. Had I known this at the time I ordered, I would have made a different selection.

   Christina took excellent care of us and our meal was phenomenal. We had the seasonal sushi and the seasonal sashimi and they were both excellent. Also: they brought a special dessert for me (for my birthday) and it was incredible! I hope they add it to the menu. Also, really enjoyed the seasonal strawberry Pavlova.

    We had the omakase; while 2 of the 7 dishes were good, overall it was extremely overpriced when compared to similar experiences in Philadelphia. The interior was at one time cutting edge 20 years ago, but is now outdated and worn, especially the bathrooms. I am not planning to return.

    I got lost finding the restaurant: keep an eye on the green glass doors. Also, don't wear pointy heels: the cobblestones on the floor for the bathroom pathway is challenging. Omakase experience was lovely. Food presentation was amazing and clean aesthetic. Would dine again in a few years!

    The food is outstanding! We had the tasting menu and every course was so exquisite and such a taste extravaganza for our mouths. I don't know how they pack so much flavor into such small bites! I also loved the ambiance in the restaurant. From the undulating features on the walls to the color changing LED lights throughout the restaurant. These lights are in the walls and the dividers between the booths along the walls. Very romantic lighting! I also enjoyed the ability to see the chefs prepare the food as they are in the same space as the diners. Wonderful waitstaff and very attentive without being too hovering.

    Exceptional food and despite the restaurant being crowded, the waitstaff gave plenty of time to enjoy each course before bringing out the next. The main seating area is deafeningly loud so I highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar, as the noise is muffled and you can watch the sushi chefs (as well as see all the plating going on in the kitchen).

    We had an enjoyable meal at Morimoto. It was a rather formal/stuffy atmosphere. The fried items were my least favorite (tempura, potstickers). The sushi was excellent. I loved the morimoto martini, and our server helped recommend some good sake to go with the meal.

    Went to try the wagyu steak and was blown away! The service was incredible and besides the steak we ordered all of the server’s recommendations (thanks, Ryan!) and he was spot on with everything. Absolutely loved the marinated mushroom sushi with added avocado, too! Be sure to get the fiery chocolate dessert - it’s plenty to share between two - and the seasonal dessert cocktail.

    The first time I went to Morimoto was in 2002. It was an unforgettable experience. I subsequently, in the years, dined at Morimoto at least 100 more times. Last night I had a completely different experience. The place is so laud that my ears hurt the all time we were there and for several hours afterwards. We ordered three Omakase, but only two come. The Omakase is pretty standard stuff, with minimal evolution in the past 20 plus years. One notable fact is that the number of courses has decreased.
