I expected it to be an expensive frou-frou experience, but once I got past the neon color-shifting booths, the sushi was some of the best I've ever had. more

...that's what it feels like, when you visit this fabulous restaurant. The Sushi is like no other Sushi; the Service is incomparable...the Ambience, well, everyone had ther cameras out! It's pricey, make no mistake about it, but absolutely worth every penny. Chef /Owner Morimoto chooses only the very best cuts of fish for the Sushi, Sashimi and other lovely dishes...STUNNING... more

We have enjoyed omikase (chef's selection) at Morimoto many times, driving up from Virginia just to have dinner. Since opening in New York, though, we have noted a sharp decline in the service quality, and a drop (though not as steep) in food quality and imagination, as well. Servers seemed a bit more inattentive to common courtesies, such as leaning... more

Ok, I really don't know how on earth there are people saying they paid $600 plus for 2 people! I always dine with my boyfriend there and usually end up with a bottle of sake, 4 drinks, 2 apps, 2 entrees (usually at market price), and 2 desserts for a little over 300! Also, this place is pricey and you... more

The food was good, but it was way too expensive. Also the place had a skateboard/ikea vibe that was not doing it for me. The music was too loud and I don't usually mind loud music. The wine had been marked up about 400%. Be prepared to spend at least 200$ a person if you want to get drinks. more

Hip vibe, upscale prices, excellent service. Too bad the food quality was mostly average. Kobe beef & seared cod were excellent however. My local Japanese bistro is consistently better. more

The chilled udon noodles were fantastic, and the ambiance was extremely modern and trendy, but the server didn't tell us what the specials were, because some of them sounded good as he was telling them to the other table. more

The food presentation was interesting and the wine flights were good but for over $600 for 2 people I expected more. Service was admirable, the atmosphere was good but toward the end of the evening yo could hardly hear yourself talk over the roar in the room. There are better places for sushi nearby and it is considerably cheaper so... more
