    I was really hoping for stronger drinks and better food paired with excellent service. Unfortunately, the cocktails were very weak and the lychee in my lecheetini tasted like city water. The orange chicken was not as good as my local Chinese place in small town PA. Overall the service was slow as well. Hoping for better as a tired traveler.

    Very beautiful restaurant with great service. However, food we ordered was not great and definitely not worth the price. We ordered fish carpaccio as our stater. Did not have much flavor and it seemed like it needed some salt. Next we ordered the Buri bop. It was ok and really had no wow factor. Taste as good as the bop I got on Korean airline. Finally had the grilled kalbi. Steak came out medium but since it comes with on a hot plate if you don’t remove then it turns well done pretty quickly. Beef was ok it was paired with kimchi. Very sting flavored kimchi which did not let the steak to shine. I have been here before and it was definitely better but it was a different menu. In a positive note the waitress and server’s are very attentive. Bottom line of if I go to $$$$ restaurant my first bite should like “Wow”. Vs “this is ok”

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Morimoto Asia. Had the potstickers, sticky ribs, lobster miso, orange chicken and surf n turf roll. All were delicious, they sear the surf n turf roll right at the table. Would definitely suggest eating here. Some other reviews noted that food did not come out as ordered. Our server told us they bring it out once they cook it, some items take longer. We staggered our order so we received a good flow of food while we enjoyed ourselves. Definitely worthwhile!

    Good freaking golly! If you want some phenomenal, interesting, unique, pan-Asian food then this is where you want to be. It’s ideal for a group that would like to share plates.
