   The previous times I had been in this room, it was a 24 Hour Fitness gym. Needless to say the decor has been significantly upgraded to a very comfortable and welcoming environment. My server was technically still training, but no Grasshopper was Ken. He was smooth, professional, engaging and had the subtle upsell technique down pat. It was an utter pleasure to experience his service. Since I was not in a hurry…on Island Time, after all. I ordered my meal as we went along. Ken played along in a professional, if bemused fashion. He even retained his demeanor when I sprung my unexpected dessert order. Janee taught her Grasshopper well…. And it was no surprise that this operation hummed along this evening. If the elegant woman who was clearly the captain of this vessel was not the GM, she has that position in her near future. Morimoto Asia is a Must Stop when visiting Waikiki…

   Good food but mediocre service. Seems like a tourist trap. More interested in turning tables than providing good service. Preferred Morimoto’s restaurant at The Modern Hotel. It was definitely a much better representation of the dining experience one would expect from an Iron Chef.

   The food was creative and inventive. The sticky ribs were excellent and the fish carpaccio was very tasty. The crispy fish entree was overrated. The service was good and overall it was nice experience.

   I told them I was on my first mother daughter girls trip. They made it extra special by giving us an ocean view table. And the server and server assistants were so nice and made it a point to make our dinner special.

    Our waiter, Colby, deserves a raise. Very respectful, helpful, and passionate. He gave us great recommendations and he talked very highly of the restaurant. While the food was fantastic, the service took the overall experience to the next level. We will definitely be dining at Morimoto’s again.

    Terrible. The food sat for a long time, we never had a quality check. When the server finally came all we wanted was our bill so we could leave. That also took a verry long time, we had to ask several times. Our friends surprised us and covered our bill as we had just gotten married. I hope to God that they didn't pay full price as we only ate one of our three dishes. Beyond dissatisfied. Even more disappointed as it was our wedding dinner. Worst dining experiences we've had in a while.

    Morimoto Asia in Waikiki! This was a super fun and entertaining dining experience! Most of the dishes are interactive with the serving staff either mixing table side or lighting things on fire. This style was fire to plate so as soon as things were ready they came out so I would reccomended ordering in waves. We were able to get a table for 2 same day on @opentable which was super easy. We enjoyed a bottle of Morimoto’s brand Sake and went to town ordering. Compared to his other resturant (different concept) in Napa, I was pleasantly surprised at the dish prices they all felt very reasonable. We were one of the first tables seated at 5pm. Our server was super knowledgeable and attentive. As the the tables filled to capacity it did get a little loud and service dropped off slightly but it was still excellent. The stand out dishes were the duck, the donuts with red bean paste and the bop we got ours with pork. What we ordered: Dim sum sampler Green beans Half duck - comes as build your own tacos Fish carpaccio A5 surf and turf roll Kakuni Bop Chocolate dessert Donuts

    This would have been a absolutely PERFECT DINNER EXPERIENCE, food, staff, presentation, except for the HORRID street music so loud inside the restaurant!! Not their fault at all!!! Just an unfortunate event at the same time we were wanting a beautiful dinner. The food was so amazing…staff so attentive and friendly, GREAT PLACE, just DO NOT request the ocean front balcony, eat inside the wonderful looking restaurant and avoid the street chaos!!

    Celebrating a family birthday. We were seated at a table on the lanai overlooking the beach/ocean. Service was flawless. We split a variety of dishes which they encourage , including hamachi tacos, tuna pizza, sticky ribs, A5 surf & turf roll,bbq black cod, roast duck. It was all delectable ! Kudos to the chef & staff for a memorable evening !

    I had a reservation at 7 and was available sooner. They still say me right away at 6 and even were able to seat me outdoors. While I was sitting the table beside me left (right next to the edge w a great view of the sunset) and they kindly changed my table so I could have the better view. While the server wasn’t particularly quick, I never found myself with an empty water glass or waiting too long for my next course. The server - Joe- was very kind in offering recommendations and sharing stories about the restaurant. I got a spritzer, the house greens, the pork dish (blanking on the name) and the donuts. Every course was amazing and unique. All except the salad were interactive in some way by either the server or the actual eating experience. I had a lovely time. The prices can be a bit ridiculous ($15 for house greens which was a big pile of spring mix with 4 slices of tomato and orange) but otherwise would recommend. I probably will not go again due to cost, but I did enjoy it.

    Jumbo shrimp should have been told need to peel. A few of the shrimp had a strange texture. Pork rib appetizer was outstanding. Wait staff was outstanding. Outside table very sticky & didn’t seem clean.

    Beautiful restaurant with excellent chairs that have good padding. Decorated with a lively yet eloquent vibe. Staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable on the dishes and enjoyable to talk to. Appetizers and side dish of the famous fried rice were small and expensive but tasty.

    Amazing dinner here for my 30th Wedding Anniversary! The food was just so delicious especially the presentation of all our dishes. We chose predominantly seafood and it is by far the best restaurant we have dined at in Waikiki. Service was attentive without being over the top, & special mention to our fabulous waitress, Jenay: friendly, knowledgeable & very professional. Thank you for an unforgettable dining experience!

    We made a reservation for my Fiancé’s birthday. It was our first time here. We were running behind for our reserved time, it took us serval tries for someone to answer. However, they were very accommodating. It seemed like we made it in before dinner rush so we were able to get seated very quickly. Every staff member we passed greeted us as we walked toward our table. The assistant waiter came to us quickly, greeting us and offering us different types of water. Shortly after our waiter, who was very knowledgeable and attentive, took our drink orders. He talked about his recommendations for entrees and appetizers, going into detail about each of them. We ordered the hamachi carpaccio, A5 roll, Kakuni bop, spicy ahi crispy rice and the chocolate sphere. Everything we ordered was great! We were not disappointed. My Fiancé did wait a while on his second beer, which we had to remind them of. But it’s not a big deal. All in all, the food, ambiance, and experience was amazing. We already made plans to return.

    We were looking forward to an excellent dinner experience and we were not let down! The evening started with Talias (our waiter) introducing himself to us along with some small talk to develop a relationship. Appetizers were the out of the world Sticky Ribs (worth the visit alone) and the scrumptious A5 Surf & Turf Sushi Roll. Just make sure you ask how to apply the accompaniments to the Surf and Turf. Talias did a great job educating us on how to eat that appetizer correctly. Dinner was Ishiyaki Buri Bop, prepared with care and aplomb. We also enjoyed the Orange Chicken (which I will never eat again at any other restaurant - so good!) and Chicken Kung Pao. We did not have room for dessert, but I discovered Frozen Kirin (yay, ten years late) which was like dessert. We highly recommend this restaurant for the food and experience. The wait staff, led by Talias was outstanding and very attentive. The balcony seating made it fell even more special. If you can't get there for dinner, check out their sister restaurant - downstairs: Momosan. You can grab some Sticky Ribs and a Frozen Kirin, which I did a few times!
