The Scene – "Iron Chef" fans may be disappointed there's no gong, but the dazzling white interior, cleverly lit wall of water bottles and rippling ceiling quickly distract star-struck diners. Downstairs is a cocktail battleground with highly polished professionals elbowing for space at the glowing bar. – – The Food – A master at sushi and traditional Japanese cuisine, Morimoto dazzles with a globally inspired menu. The Morimoto sashimi, five-layer towers of sashimi, comes with colorful sauces in tiny squeeze tubes that are easily discarded for fresh wasabi. Want less…

Super Shmekerie locu'
by Jilberrr
Super locu, mancarea e crima, bagate la niste, Spicy King Crab Leg sau Pork Dumplings care sa terminat cu shmekeria!!!LOL :), sau cel mai bine bagate la Omakase Menu in care ai 8 corsuri "all taisting items" care sant morimotos highlights!! Omu stie treaba + e foarte amabil cu toti oaspetii ( poti face poze, iti scrie autografe, iti vorbeste despre mancare,etc ) . Daca esti la bar combinate la nishte super Cocktails, incearca o White Lily, sau o Hydrengia, sau dacati place Sake bagate la un morimotini care e parfum de femeie :) un fel de saketini cu wasabi infused vodka!! Merita locu, lume super buna, servisu excelent, admosfera si generozitatea al tot staffului te face sa te simti acasa!
- Pros: genuine, genuine ,genuine !

Good food but beware of mosquitos
by Roy17
We showed up at Morimoto without reservations and were seated at the lower level. The service was fine and the food and drinks were really nice maybe that's why we did not realize we were getting bitten while dining. ;) Once we got home and the effect of the alcohol started wearing off, we realized that we were itching all over. When we called the restaurant back, they were quite arrogant and insisted that we got bitten somewhere else. But, that's the only place we went to that night and I am damn sure, it was the Morimoto mosquitos that left their mark on us. Beware!

Best Dining Experience Ever
by LEE7
Went here to celebrate my bithday along with 2 other friend's birthdays. We went all out our food was to die for and our waiter taught us the traditional way of eating our chilled noodles. The Waygu steak was unlike anything I have ever had. The pork belly was salty and bad for you but its fine once in a while. We also had the tuna pizza which was good and some crab legs. the dessert was to die for banna ice cream and a pie like crust was soo yummy. Must see and try out the bathroom!
- Pros: Food, Service, Bathrooms
- Cons: NONE
The Details on Morimoto
Where to Sit:
Sushi fans will want a spot at the 24-seat bar; reserve a place at the special eight-person omakase bar for the chef's choice of cuisine and kitchen view.
What to Drink:
There's a long list of specialty cocktails to choose from (the spicy Morimotini and lemony White Lily), but a 10-ounce carafe of Morimoto's honey-kissed Junmai sake is the way to go ($22).
Know Before You Go:
The downstairs bathrooms are worth checking out for their infinity mirrors and heated seats.
The Extras:
Don't miss "Iron Chef" star Mario Batali's restaurant Del Posto, across the street.
