- SVSusanV1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoHad a wonderful time and an excellent meal. Service,as always was spectacular. Server let us taste 3 sake before we chose one,so helpful... never seen that before anywhere. Wagu dumplings were exceptional. Sushi was the best I ever had with several unique options like steelhead trout and baracutta! . It was a Saturday night, so many loud patrons were annoying but the mind blowing Ginger panna cotta helped distract me. Can't wait to go again!More infoMorimotoPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Center City•4.7
