    Food was excellent and your whole staff is amazing!! We were very jet lagged from our six hour flight, but our server Karin made the whole evening so enjoyable…great recommendations (seriously with those the short ribs)! Thank you very much for the unexpected birthday treat. We will definitely try other locations. Thanks for letting us know about the one in Las Vegas, Karin!

    Was very disappointed by the service 3 different dishes came separately and tofu with vegetables was worst than panda express standard A full dish came with 3 tofus where a flour coating was peeled out, all it had was bokcjoy and 3 pieces of tofu .. Fried fish , and chicken wontons were good so was tuna pizza Sever was uninterested and serving and that impacted our overall experience As family we decided never to come Morimoto again

    While the establishment has a pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff, my recent experience was extremely disappointing. I returned specifically for the “Angry Lobster” dish, which ended up costing me $95. I was shocked by what I received: four inedible pieces of lobster legs and only two small pieces of the tail. Despite the steep price, the majority of the lobster served was inedible. This is unacceptable, and I will not be returning. I strongly advise against ordering this dish—it’s an outrageous waste of money and shows a clear lack of consideration for customers.

    The food is spectacular! Brilliantly executed, off the scale delicious. The ambience is as good as a very busy cafeteria and the sound level is a bit less than the active runway at an airport.

    Walking into Morimoto Asia was pleasing to the eye…the modern appearance and cleanliness of the restaurant was refreshing. The server and waiter were very pleasant. The quality and presentation of food was very good; in particular, the Chilean sea bass special was outstanding.

    Half the food was excellent. The other half was so-so. Waiter was very good but one of the supervisors took my drink order part way through dinner and when I asked about it he runs off before I could cancel it. It arrived in time for dessert.
