   We were excited to experience a “fancy sushi’s” dinner but felt that even though the prices were reflective of a higher end experience, the rolls on offer were pedestrian and weren’t much better than what you can find at a bodega. We also ordered the wagyu udon noodles to share at our table. I advise you don’t try to share soup noodle dishes here as they don’t have small bowls to split the dish amongst. The wagyu was also overcooked. We were expecting an exciting dinner but received a mediocre one.

   Great food, service was warm and friendly. Sushi, sashimi and the halibut special were all outstanding. Little noisy but otherwise perfect!

   Hostess was hostility unwelcoming. It set the tone for the night. Dinner was good. But I have had sushi equally good at my local sushi spot. Atmosphere is fun in a touristy sort of way.

   We've tried omakase at Morimoto before, so this time we just ordered a la carte, and everything was really delicious. The service was also superb, although it was pretty slow this time.

   Beautiful restaurant. Our server was very friendly and helped us pick out sake, which was great. I went with the suggestions on here, so I ordered the Chirasi bowl and the black cod miso. My husband ordered the udon. Everything was excellent - we actually had too much food. I highly recommend.

    I sat at the sushi bar - which is such a great spot! - and ordered the seasonal sushi sampling. It was such fresh and flavorful fish, everything was I credible! The fact that they have platters, omikase, and a la crate options gives the diner so many choices. I ordered just enough sushi and every piece was amazing. The cocktails are fun and the dessert was sublime. I loved every minute!

    I loved the cod and the wagyu beef. Even though Morimoto is known for sushi, I felt like the sushi was a little overpriced. Overall though, the ambiance was amazing, the service was also really great, and I would go back for birthdays/anniversaries

    The ambience and service was very good. We started with the Sukiyaki Udon and it was delicious. I don’t mean just good, but i wanted to drink the liquid from the bowl delicious. Unfortunately, that was the best thing of the night. We had rock shrimp tempura, which was good and a shrimp tempura roll that was also good. For entrees we had the salmon and the chicken curry. Both of these were forgettable sadly. We started out with deliciousness then went to good then to forgettable so it was a let down of a meal, but i might go back to get that Sukiyaki Udon again as it was clearly the star of what we had.

    I’ll be honest, I was very happy with the ambiance as well as the service but I wasn’t truly blown away by the food. I had the multi-course omakase tasting and while it was a numerous amount of courses there were only 1 or 2 that truly excited me. What kind of put a damper in my experience were believe or not - the drinks. I ordered a regular margarita to start and it was one of the worst margs I’ve ever had. A margarita is a such a simple cocktail and I was surprised that it was so poorly made. The waiter was very kind to take the margarita away and replace it with one of their signature mezcal cocktails. And while this was much better it still didn’t stand up to what I think a place like Morimoto should. I would recommend coming but maybe drink before you arrive.

    Went to Morimoto with my family to celebrate my graduating from college. We had the pleasure of having Isaiah as our waiter for the evening. His extensive knowledge of the menu, cuisine, and drink pairings was amazing. He was a sheer joy to have as our waiter, and that's just the beginning of the long list of positives. Two of us had the omakase, and each dish it was visually stunning and equally absolutely delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to have fresh seafood and truly authentic Japanese seafood.

    The fish was very fresh, no mean feat on a holiday Monday. The choices were diverse, which I liked. The server was friendly, informative and delightful. The only negative about the restaurant is the bizarre choice of a fixed, rather tall light smack in the middle of the table. In a place where sharing plates is tacit, I found this design element strange and annoying. Other than that, I'd go again and I'd recommend it, just bring a full wallet!

    My wife and I had a WONDERFUL experience at Morimoto. This was our 2nd time there, two years in a row, to celebrate our Anniversary. The food was exquisite from beginning to end, the atmosphere was very peaceful and our server Hanna, was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We will almost definitely be back again very soon; and we will definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary there again next year for sure! I can not emphasize enough how incredible our overall experience was, particularly the incredible service that Hanna provided us with! I HIGHLY recommend Morimoto to anyone and everyone who has yet to try! You will NOT be disappointed!

    On a Saturday night of a holiday weekend, we expected it to be busy but we had a reservation so we thought we’d be alright. We waited 30 minutes past our reservation just to be seated at a table. While there were additional snafus once seated, it’s not worth mentioning because the staff were just lovely. Everyone from the hosts to our server and the manager went above and beyond to help smooth things over. If the food had lived up to the wait, I’d be singing Morimoto’s praises. Unfortunately it was just OK. We love sushi and we were SO excited for this dinner. But the rolls offered are limited, basic and very small. It’s clear chef intends for folks to get entrees or omakase, which wasn’t our intent with our 9 year old joining us for dinner. This said, the potato croquettes are AMAZING. As are the desserts (Black Sesame Cloud!).

    Expensive, but we did go to celebrate a special day. :-) Our server was friendly, attentive and well informed. The wagyu dumplings in miso and both sets of maki rolls were excellent. The roast pork belly rice was outstanding. Their famous blackened cod tasted good but not exceptional for all its reputation, and the helping was quite small. The fiery chocolate ball made a good video, but was quite underwhelming to eat. The server had recommended the day's special dessert, a mango pudding, and we might just have done better to have gone with that. They served us a complimentary wine cooler kind of drink for our celebration, which was nice of them. The changing lights were fun, and the general ambience, though noisy, was pleasant and inviting. I'd go again, now that know what I like there. :-)

    The restaurant inside is beautiful! We had a party of 6, the booth was a large size no one was uncomfortable. Our waiters and waitresses were fantastic. Our waitress described things for us so we made great choices. Most of our meals had something done at the table so it was a little show. The food was AWESOME! Talk about flavors WOW. We will definitely be going back. We went after our daughter's college graduation and she loved it

    We have dined at many Steven Star restaurants in Philly, DC, and Atlantic City (R.I.P) and this was by far the worst experience we have had at any of them. Lets start with the couple positives, edamame and Rohan Duck were excellent. Negatives, our server seemed to disappear after the first half hour, at one point I had to stand up to get the attention of a manager to get another round of drinks and our waters refilled. Our dinner was rediculously paced. I never like to be rushed but this was at a snails pace. Our chefs special sampler had no presentaion, I could have got the same quality sushi and presentation at the local strip mall for half the price. Kobe beef was served ice cold for $210. Now the kicker the air conditioner was dripping on our table the entire meal, and its obviously an on going problem because the restaurant had a 20' pole with a rag on the end to wipe the air conditioner vent. WTF!!! A manager came and apologized and brought us a round of drinks after we asked for our check, nice gesture but not a drink either of us would ever order, take something off the bill next time. $495 before tip down the drain.
