    Our server, Christina was a delight. She guided us through the menu with expertise and offered great recommendations. The service was spot on and the food was amazing . We enjoyed the vibe and felt very much at home. This is our first time at Morimoto but will definitely not be our last!

    First timme there in awhile. The service was impeccable. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, attentive but not overbearing. He recommended a sake to my wife which she thoroughly enjoyed. Food was impeccable. A really enjoyable dining experience.

    Second time here and it was as impressive as the first visit! Very chill atmosphere with amazing architecture that makes you feel you are stepping outside of this world to enjoy a perfectly crafted meal for a couple hours.

    Sushi as overpriced for what you got and how it tasted. Much better options in the city for same price. Worth going once because it’s an establishment but that’s it.

    Food was great. This has always been my go to spot for a nice date but I haven’t been here for a while. I understand it’s a Friday night and busy but the waiter though very nice and polite was extremely slow, inattentive and WAY too much time between courses and there were periods of 10-15 minutes I couldn’t even get anyone’s attention to orders additional food. Not what I expect from a $500 dinner bill for two
