   Having lived in Japan in my youth, it is a comfort to have Morimoto's delicious dishes stateside to rekindle flavors of yester year on my palette. Best sushi Philly has to offer!

   Our server was Isaiah. He was really nice, patient, and did not mind that we were there exactly at their opening time. He was open and shared what he liked. Good service, scrumptious food, and a job well done.

   Morimoto gave us the best anniversary dinner of our lives. The Morimoto omakase was full of diverse flavors that were unbelievably layered and delicious. Both of us agreed that the dessert was particularly incredible. Personally, we would say the experience was life changing. The service was incredible, and they were very polite and thoughtful to us. We hope to come back again soon!

   Unfortunately, we had a poor experience and didn’t get a chance to try the food because the waiter was so unpleasant. As soon as we were seated he approached us and appeared as if he did not want to be our server. He was very dismissive and would rudely answer questions we had regarding the menu. For instance, I asked if they served hot sake and he replied they did but it’s not on the menu so when I followed up to ask what brand it was he just repeated “it’s not on the menu”. I initially disregarded and thought maybe he misunderstood my question but when I tried to clarify he walked away in the middle of me speaking. He returned and we asked about the hot sake and he repeated we have it but it’s not on the menu. This was confusing, why not just tell us about it if it’s not on the menu. We decided to not order a drink and order food. When trying to order food he abruptly left again. After returning we asked about the duck and he read the menu in front of us as if we could not read. We asked about how it was brought out (it was two parts) and cooked and he refused to answer. Feeling uncomfortable we decided to ask about the sushi, he read the menu, looked at us and asked if we understood. We informed him we have had sushi before, but he was very dismissive, rude, abrupt and demeaning in his communication and overall behavior. This was our first time visiting Morimoto so of course we would have questions. Also, it’s as if he did not want to serve us or had assumptions about our character at first sight. Maybe this restaurant doesn’t receive many black customers or the waiter feels uncomfortable serving black customers. Maybe he was having a bad night. Either way It was a very embarrassing experience and we decided to leave without ordering.

   We come every several months, and have never been disappointed. Service is unobtrusive and very helpful. Cooked items, like Wagyu dumplings, black cod miso, Rohan duck and seafood Toban Yaki were wonderful. Of course you also have to have the sushi and sashimi, as it is of a quality that must be tasted and experienced. we always go with the chef's combination platter, then add the soft-shell crab roll. Needless to say, we will be back again.

    It's on the expensive side but to us it was worth it. 2 of us availed the $165 omakase it was all good. The Fiery Chocolate dessert was a good finish to our meal. Mr. Morimoto knew and still knows what's he doing with food. I notice the quality of ingredients used, knowledgeable and friendly hosts and waitstaff.

    The food was spectacular. Do the omekase menu - absolutely worth it. Ambiance/decor was a little dated but pleasant enough. Fairly quiet. Good for conversation. The service was perfect. Friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. The meal was very well paced.

    There were many special things about the Omakase menu, save a misguided tofu dish that was flavorless. However, the price for a meal for two should beget a more special experience. From the casual front of house staff to mediocre cocktails, the overall feel is casual and not worth the price.

    We had a party of 6 and it took about 1 hour to get our appetizers after ordering(Two orders of rock shrimp, edamame, leafy greens salad and the crab salad) . It took another hour for the entrées(Chef's combination 140$). The cocktails came out quick and refills were the just as fast. The entire dinner was about 3 hours long. A little long in my opinion.

    First time here and it was such an experience! We loved every minute of it. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of each dish. My husband and I both had the Omakase and it was fantastic. We were able to experience new dishes and it was exciting not knowing what would come out each dish. Highly recommend at least once.

    The service was not great. Our server was inattentive, and unfriendly. Our food came out over 10 minutes apart. Getting chopsticks and soy sauce was difficult despite ordering sushi. I would not return to this restaurant and would not recommend to a friend.

    We went for my boyfriend‘s birthday. Due to a delay at work we had to push back our reservation for a half hour and they were super flexible with accommodating that. Our waitress was kind and social, and made sure to remember that it was my boyfriends birthday when I mentioned it to her. She gave us a birthday dessert and overall a wonderful experience.

    The waiter was very attentive. The food quality was excellent…wagyu dumplings were phenomenal. Just wish the menu was a bit more inventive with the sushi rolls….more like Umai Umai, especially for the prices that are charged.

    I wanted to love it. The sushi was very bland. We left most of it untouched Z and the cording needs improvement. The sushi arrived just moments after the appetizers. I spent $250 and could have had similar quality from Whole Foods. The atmosphere is very fun with a great vibe.
