   Went for Penn graduation celebration. The Omakase and sake pairing was phenomenal, the best meal I have ever had. Flavors were complex and delicate and varied throughout. Isaiah our waiter was a complete pro and very friendly. Fantastic experience, and although not cheap, it was worth it - there were no shortcuts at all from beginning to end.

   My friend and I went on a girls night out after coming across Morimoto on tiktok! The interior was absolutely stunning, and we could not stop taking pictures and videos. I got shrimp tempura rolls and spicy fried shrimp with a lemon drop and my friend got a California roll, oysters, and a lemon drop as well. The food 10/10, the lemon drop was a bit too sour (we never had it so didn’t know what to except we just wanted to get drunk😭). I will definitely be returning.

   Food was delicious and service was Great. We did the omakase tasting which was not enough food for the given price point. You’re much better off ordering a la cart.

    The food was great as usual and the waiters were knowledgeable about the dishes (omakase) served. The ambience was nice. I wish our table for two were a bit bigger as we were seated on the side but it was not a big issue. The concept of the omakase dishes was phenomenal and unexpected. We were treated with strawberry sobet rose drinks on the house as a celebration of our anniversary. Wonderful time!

    This was our first time at Morimoto. The food was excellent but a bit over priced. The service was terribly slow, slow slow: we were there for 2 1/2 hours with huge gaps between dished. We were there before rush hour, and left much after people who arrived after us. We were kindly offered deserts but at that price everything needs to be impeccable.

    We had a great experience at Morimoto. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had sushi, the poke bowl, the chicken katsu curry, the wagyu dumplings and some sort of sashimi pizza. The quality of the fish was excellent. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We were celebrating our daughter’s graduation and they brought her dessert with a candle to celebrate. Definitely try the desserts. They were very unique and delicious. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, Asian in a modern way. The only drawback was that it was quite noisy and difficult to hear each other. Overall, I highly recommend.

    As a serious Omakase fan, I was looking forward to our Monday night reservation at Morimoto in Philadelphia. The restaurant just celebrated its 20 year anniversary last year and it is a large and very established operation. As such, I expected a very good Omakase experience...but what we received was way beyond that. Our server Anna was superb, answering my nitpicky questions easily; eventually, manager Coleman came to answer one of my more esoteric inquiries and he wound up hovering and bantering with us throughout our amazing 9 course meal. As a restaurant owner myself, the staff's ability to serve so many covers in a very large room while simultaneously presenting exquisitely innovative, complex and stunning Omakase array was unbelievable. Our Omakase experience was "intimate" despite the full room and busy servers, and as far as the food itself, exquisite. Just perfect. At $165 per person for the Omakase , it might seem cheeky to characterize Morimoto as a "good value"...but it really is. For true lovers of the fine art of Japanese cuisine, Morimoto delivers something I have never come close to experiencing in the U.S.

    At least I once in your life you should treat yourself to the Omakase. Giving the chef free reign to present to you many courses of their top work makes for the most incredible dining experiences. The staff is unparalleled in their knowledge of the chef's creations and in their service.

    As our waiter Isaiah said, "we ruin other sushi restaurants." This is truly the next level of sushi. The fish is fresh and complex, the sake is excellent, and the service is personalized to each customer. A fantastic experience, especially for those with a gluten allergy. Very accommodating!

    I came to Morimoto during the American Association of Neurological Surgeons 2022 meeting. The last time it was in Philly I went to Morimoto & the food was amazing! I was so excited to go back that I came 20 mins before my reservation time. With open seats at the sushi bar … The hostess then informed me that it would be closer to my reservation time before I can be seated. To much dismay, I was eventually seated 13 mins after my reservation time. During that time, I sat patiently in waiting area while 3 white couples, who came after me & after my reservation time, were seated before me while the Sushi bar seats remained opened. As an African American ... that was very disturbing. The Meal: The food was just okay this time. I did really enjoy the miso cod & asparagus with caviar but found most the of dishes lacking perspective however, it didn't melt in my mouth like I'm used to with an A5 cut. The overall portion size was a little on the small side, but not totally inconsistent from some other places I been to for an Omakase. The service was excellent!!!! All the waiters were very friendly & explained each course with great detail, thus I was excited to taste each one. I was slightly taken aback by one question .…. when at the end of the meal the waiter asked: "the last course is sushi (nigiri) then dessert; would you like a fork or are you ok with chopsticks?" (My chopsticks were clearly used & the wrapper was off the chopsticks) ... How did I eat the multiple other courses? with my hands (lol)? The Experience: Overall I thought the price was ok. I would not go back & would prefer to go to MASA (in NYC), UMI (Atlanta), or even Nobu (which is getting too commercial for my taste) … in Philly, Izakaya or Hiroki. (To be fair, Morimoto was much better than Yakitori Boy Japas .... Open Table why did u recommend that place to me smh? ... please do better next time lol).

    We love the food and drink tasting menus at Morimoto. The pace and variety of flavors always make for a great meal. This time we did the Kobe steak upgrade. It was expensive but the favorite bite of the night.

    My sister and niece were visiting plus my niece’s birthday is next week so we decided to celebrate with dinner at Morimoto. I hadn’t been there since pre -Covid but it seemed nothing had changed . Food, service, an ambiance was excellent. We had a party of five and everyone loved the total experience. It was a great evening! It was definitely a 5/5!!

    The vibe of the restaurant was great. Our server was very knowledgeable and all the staff were friendly. I won’t be going back for the tasting menu though. The food was very underwhelming for the price that you pay. The regular food that we ordered to try and get full was way better than anything on the tasting menu.
