First off – our server, DD, and our food runners were so amazing and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks.
The food was absolutely amazing. We went for a birthday, we got the omakase with the drink pairing. It was outstanding. So fresh, delicious, and unique.
If only Morimoto was there himself, it would have been even better lol

Went with my 8 yr old daughter for a night out. Service was excellent, waiter was great. We had hot stone wagyu A5 – great, spicy tuna crispy rice – delicious, A+, hamachi ponzu – great, a spicy tuna roll (good), pork gyoza (good), then a few slices of salmon nigiri and fatty tuna sashimi. Also had a “this is pen” cocktail – pretty good. Food came out super fast and was what you would hope for in a Morimoto restaurant. Ambience is everything here. When my daughter spilled her soda, 3 staff came to help. When she dropped her napkin, someone noticed and got her a new one. It was a great night. Will go back.

Sensational! I tried their tasting menu and top to bottom it was fantastic. The staff guided me through each meal and were super knowledgeable about what went into each dish. The sweet corn crab soup and the olive wagyu were two of the most sublime dishes I’ve ever had. This is a must try tasting menu!

Every dish was a real treat. The flavors and textures were carefully crafted, making each course feel special and inventive. The ingredients were clearly fresh and high quality, which made the meal truly memorable and enjoyable from start to finish

The food was phenomenal from start to finish. Every piece of fish melted in my mouth. We sat at the bar and still had a welcoming and friendly experience. The bartenders were attentive without being pushy, and the atmosphere felt warm and relaxed. The place looked like a fancy space ship in the best way, which made the whole experience feel fun and unique. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. This was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time, and I would return without hesitation.

A5 Wagyu was delicious. Crab fried rice was a bit over salted for our liking. Chef’s sashimi selection was decent but underwhelming for the price point. Chocolate cake dessert was a good show and presentation, but the rum was a little strong. Mochi ice cream was decent. Our waiter forgot our appetizer so we ended up cancelling it at the end of the meal. Interior design was modern and unique.

We had such a great dinner at Morimoto. We started with the hot stone Wagyu — it was incredible. The beef practically melted in your mouth, and cooking it on the hot stone right at our table made it such a fun experience.
We also ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice — so good! The tuna was fresh and had just the right amount of heat, perfectly balanced with the crispy rice.
My husband had a Japanese beer and my 11-year-old son got a mocktail called the Mandarin Ginger, which he said was really tasty.
For our main entrée, we got the crab fried rice with the broth on the side (which we were glad we did, since the broth was pretty spicy). The rice came out piping hot, perfectly seasoned, and packed with generous chunks of king crab. The broth had some imitation crab, and overall, the dish was delicious.
We also tried three sushi rolls — shrimp tempura, California, and eel & avocado. The shrimp tempura roll was nice and crispy, though it came with green beans, which we didn’t love. The California roll was honestly one of the best we’ve ever had — made with real crab and plenty of it — and the eel and avocado roll was excellent too.
For dessert, we got the fiery flourless chocolate cake. The presentation was amazing — they pour flaming rum over a chocolate dome, which melts to reveal a hidden layer of miso caramel ice cream. Underneath was rich chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, caramelized bananas, and a crunchy graham cracker crust. It was delicious!
The restaurant itself is beautiful, with lighting that changes colors throughout the meal. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Morimoto and would highly recommend it!

Our entire group had the Omakase. Highlights were the Toro Tartare and the A5 Strip. The A5 was outrageously flavorful, more than any other meat I have had. The only time I had any beef that was comparable was the last time I had the Omakase at this same location. Service was a little slow. Would not have been a problem if we didn’t have to get on the road, but I guess that’s on us for not addressing it. One of my favorite restaurants.
