Morimoto Philadelphia Reviews
Me and my friend are visiting from out of town and decided
Me and my friend are visiting from out of town and decided to give Morimoto a try. Everything from the service, atmosphere, food and drinks was a 10 out of 10.
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 wa
Everytime I'm in Philly, I always have dinner here.
The restaurant is beautiful and the service always top notch! The sushi is always fresh and great specials. Its not only sushi but art. Its not cheap but definately worth it. Had the hamachi tatare, black cod miso, spicy tuna hand roll, bunch o

My review for this place is going to be simple and sweet: YES, YES, and YES. Also, our server Johnson was a delight! If you haven't been here, please go. Because just YES.
Anniversary Dinner
Excellent food with wonderful wait staff and unique atmosphere. Would go again. It was our first time there and we had a lot of question for the wait staff. Our waitress was thoughtful in her responses to us and mad good recommendations. We unde

I decided to celebrate my husband's birthday at Morimoto and was not disappointed! I scheduled omakase and was very impressed! As my husband stated "that was the best one in a while" and he is very picky! I loved everything, every dish

I was on foot from my hotel and it was quite hot.
It took me a while to find the restaurant. The entrance was not obvious. Lots of young staff. I sat at the sushi bar and with the sound, it was difficult to hear most staff but my server. I asked one lady who appeared to be Hispanic behind the sushi
A cool and innovative spot with good Japanese fusion.
Morimoto is great for a night out or special occasion. I don't think anything that I had was especially innovative or mind blowing, it was a solid meal without fresh fish. However, one dish that should not be missed is the Hoku Hoku potato side.
Amazing food, great service and ambience.
Sushi's were amazing, Ordered the ponzu appetiser and the carpaccio, they were too good. You can do a bunch of sushi's and sashimi's and skip the mains all together. The Udon noodles were a bit salty. Overall great experience !
The ambiance and service were good.
I ordered the curry chicken katsu and other family members ordered omakase and a wagyu beef udon. I and two other people thought our foods were good, but too salty, which sort of affected the experience. The more I ate my curry, the saltier it got, a

This is my bar as far as Japanese cuisine quality is concerned in the States. Just supreme presentation, freshness, and ambience. Chef Morimoto is amazing. Five stars
Amazing service .
Interesting food . The amassed was well worth the money . Truly a great experience.
LIFE CHANGING
I tried my first Wagyu steak ever and it was already my favorite food ever. The rice was great, liked the crab roll, and loved the chocolate mousse cake.
Omakase with sake pairing
We were delighted to find the Morimoto restaurant in Philadelphia. It was a high point in our trip to the city. We made reservations ahead of time online. And we decided we would get the Omakase menu while we were there. If you might only get one cha
Amazing food a must
Amazing 10 star dinner. Fresh food amazing drinks. A must. Best restaurant in town. I loved everything. Worth the price.
Always a wonderful experience.
Our server was Johnson and he was knowledgeable in navigating the menu with a gluten allergy. The restaurant is loud, but that doesn't take away from your dining experience. Need I talk about the food other than to say it will never ever disappoi
This is the best sushi restaurant in the U.
S., period. I've been dining here for 20 years, every chance I get when traveling to or through Philadelphia. The fish quality and selection are unsurpassed. The ambiance and decor are unique and memorable. The service is top notch. I was passing t

Let me first say that NYC misses Morimoto!!! We were very excited to dine in the Philly Morimoto and even happier to see that the menu was very similar to the one in Manhattan (RIP). The space is smaller and less club like but still has the same mod
What an amazing experience.
First off the build out is spectacular. So beautiful and comfortable. The food was excellent. I've eaten at a few morimoto restaurants and always walked away a bit underwhelmed but not here, this place shines. And exceptional service from Amani. She

This restaurant has been on my list for years since I moved to Philly. I just hadn't had the budget to make my way there until now. I am a huge iron chef fan and Morimoto is one of my favorite chefs so you can imagine I was excited to try this place.

Ambiance 4/5- love the lights! The whole restaurant glows.
Filet was sub-par and not worth the $95 at all 2/4. Udon noodles were ok 3/5. Sushi was good, nothing crazy 4/5. Drinks were good. Would come back for drinks & apps/sushi.
Couldn't have chosen a better place to spend my birthday
Couldn't have chosen a better place to spend my birthday dinner at for 3 reasons: - atmosphere 10/10 and the design/decor of the restaurant is elite - the food and drinks were to die for, fresh fresh fish (which gets more and more rare these days),
Fantastic sushi but pricy. Get the fatty tuna!
Sushi here was pretty fantastic but a bit pricy at around 20 bucks a roll. We got the chef’s choice and the fatty tuna sashimi was to die for. Rolls were creative and flavorful. The drinks were good, not great. Dessert was fantastic. The interio
Highly recommend
I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience. Dan the manager was honestly so hospitable, kind and made our experience amazing. Definitely recommend
The sushi is tops.
The place still feels hip. However, waiting 20+ minutes between very rich omakase courses was not ideal. I would not have done it had I known the wait would be so long between each. I was full by 4th course since everything took so long. That was dis

We went around 5pm so we had the option to sit anywhere.
We chose the sushi bar area so we could watch them make sushi. Our server was very nice and very attentive we didn't have to wait for anything, he was having everything come out in a timely manner. My daughter ordered for us so I apologize for not k

So first of all the service was very good except for a little neurotic place-setting on the part of staff, not sure what that was about but it was eccentric. On the other hand, my mother made a passing remark about the chill and the hostess quickly c

We did the 8 course omakasi tasting menu with the saki pairing. The saki choices were varied and unique. The tasting menu was fun, but probably too much for us-we should have ordered directly off the menu. Everything coming out of the kitchen look

Food was very good.
Our favorites were the sushi, hot stone, and hamachi. The fiery chocolate was great for show but if you're looking for taste go with one of the other dessert options. Service was good and the place itself is cool - almost like a modern art museum. On
Went here for a special occasion.
The food was amazing! I'm a vegetarian and they had many things that I could eat. It's such a beautiful restaurant. And some of the meals are made at the table by a very attentive staff! Can't wait to go here again!
What can I say.
.... I'd rather be speechless. Morimoto, Iron Chef, this restaurant was a life list. And it made my dream come true!!!! My fiancé surprised me here with a late night dinner reservation after a show. With it being so late (9:30pm on a Saturday), we

Most of the appeal of this restaurant for me came from sitting at the sushi counter and watching the chef prepare everything. I'm not a huge sashimi fan, but my husband is, and he reported only good things from the seasonal selection. I really enjoye
Downhill
Aside from the rock shrimp tempura, everything was average or not good. The toro tartar was almost inedible. The drinks were overly sweet and a bit watery. I switched to Prosecco and it was very basic. The sushi was ok but the rolls were very bad and
Very chic and very popular restaurant. Great experience, food,and ambience.
Very happy I went to Morimoto. Friday night and by 7 o’clock the place was packed. Took my seat at the sushi bar, definitely the best decision to be part of the sushi theater. Teamed up with Andrew, one of the lead waiters, from the very beginning,
ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Amazing place! Food is consitently superb, staff is very attenttive and hospitable, and the ambiance is very cool. We usually go up to the cozy lounge on the second floor. Shout out to Dave Katz who always makes us feel like family and treats us well
Worst sushi experience ever!
I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant. I am a sushi fanatic and seek out the best. The first time I went to Morimotos many years ago it was fantastic. The chef's choice (omakase) was full of exotic fish. Last night I ordered the $75 che
Horrible dining
Food was decent and GM tried his best to provide good dining experience for my family. That was it. Good service was extremely slow(took over 2 and half hours for simple meal), we had to wait 25mins for our seating.
Legendary Experience
Super experience, amazing customer service, legendary visit! The staff was imaging from when I stepped in the door from the two women at the front desk to the waiters who are more like food connoisseurs versus just waiters. They were so knowledgeable
Good, not great
Sushi was very good. Other dishes (tempura, dumplings) good but not exciting. The Morimoto cocktail was great, and our server recommended some good sake. Setting is pretty, but it was not overly friendly or inviting - kind of snobby. Very expensive,
Food not worth the price.
Absolutely terrible except the service. I ordered the $165 omakase 7 course dinner. It is not even close to an award winning experience. Two of the courses were literally basic tuna and basic beef carpaccio dishes. Both were poor quality and obviousl

"MORIMOTO is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. I would recommend every dish on the menu except for the ones that are cooked on the hot stone in the dining room. These dishes are a big disappoin

This is my third time Morimotos but first time doing their omakase experience. The food was good, but the experience was a bit lackluster and the pacing of the courses could have been better.Food wise I thought the Chawanmushi was good and the flavor

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Morimoto Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Morimoto Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Morimoto Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Morimoto Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
