    Food was great but does not come out as one order. Drinks came out half way through the meal. Next time i would wait on food order until you receive your drinks.

    Confusing menu. No mention on line menu that it was designed to share and that food came out as available. Food was good. Nothing special.

    AWFUL! Will not return. For the last several years we would visit Morimoto and enjoy an excellent meal. Last night was a disaster. The service was slow, the drinks were weak, we and the rest of the guests sat and watched as tray after tray of food was walked through the dining area and out to an external party. It took forever to get our food, then there were long gaps between dishes. On top of the long wait, the food was poorly prepared. Some dishes were overcooked, others poorly seasoned. The staff seemed totally overwhelmed. The dining experience was awful.

    Referred by some highly regarded fellow members of Waialae Country Club, we were exciting to try Morimoto first time last night. Astonishingly, instead of smiling aloha, we were greeted by an angry voice "excuse me" by a haole restaurant employee named Richard, immediately after we exited elevator to front desk of Morimoto. He repeated himself three or four times louder and louder. Our kids were scared. Although two friendly managers Kim and Vinnie came later to console us a few of times, we still question if such behavior should be tolerated in a "suppose-to-be" high end restaurant in state of Hawaii nowadays?

    This was our 4th time at Morimotos and it continues to blow us away. The sunset was gorgeous as usual, our drinks were spot on and the food was outstanding. By the time we travel across country, check in, un pack , change our clothes and head over, we're no better than starving scavengers. Morimotos hits the spot every time.
