   We have high standards and thought Morimoto was ok. Our server was not attentive. We had to constantly search for her. The sushi was average - have had better. And the rock shrimp was too sweet. Not worth the price.

   Always a 10/10! This is my 3rd time going within months. Tried the pomegranate mocktail refresher and it was amazing

   Not an actual omakase. We should have researched more or asked more questions before making the reservation but their omakase is just a tasting menu and not an actual omakase experience. Only 1 of the 8 courses was actually sushi delivered by the chef. We sat at the counter to have a fun experience with the chef’s which did not happen. One of the courses is just flavored ice with a shiso leaf. While the atmosphere was amazing and the explanations of the dishes was fun it was ultimately not an omakase experience. For the price point I also expected slightly better service, drinks left empty and waiting. Also at $450 for 2 people I either expected larger portions or more courses. We left still hungry. Amazing flavors and had a good time. But ultimately felt mislead and robbed.

   Omakase is an unforgettable experience and worth every penny. Highly recommend.

   Wife and I attended and had drinks, apps, dinner, and a dessert. Drinks - Morimoto Martini and a Negroni with Bluecoat. Great value and quality. App - both had an order of Pork Gyoza. We are enthusiastic about Gyozas at all Japanese restaurants we have and plan to attend. I will say, the gyoza at Morimoto were left desired. Flavor profile was not there, and frankly tasted rather hot dog like which was a turn off. We did not get much depth of flavor from what you would expect in a Gyoza (example, ginger/ garlic/ green onion, cabbage/ or other). Dipping sauce was good though. Dinner - we had the crab fried rice and the cha soba. Both excellent and surpassed expectations. Great depth of flavor, portion size, and quality. The touch of REAL Wasabi with the cha was great. Highly recommend for those that prefer something lighter or vegi/vegan. Dessert - Fiery Chocolate and Sorbet trio. The fiery chocolate severed table side with a flaming liquor. Adds some wow to the mix of the dinning experience. Great textures from the softness of the cake, subtle bite to the caramelized banana, crunch of chocolate and gram. Perfect deserts.
