No better sushi in Philly. The quality of the ingredients and freshness of fish are top-notch. Would recommend the tasting menu and the drink pairing...the kobe beef dish is very tasty! Fun, contemporary atmosphere also.

Went to Morimoto for a birthday party and it was great!! The food and service were outstanding. We even got to meet him and got him to sign a menu in Japanese, which he gave us. My kids will never forget.

Morimoto is amazing! Their food is an awesome asian fusion type. They have really delicious appetizers (try the fried shrimp) and great sushi! Do be prepared to pay a few dollars for your meal, though! (especially if you are ordering drinks..!)

Morimoto's is my absolute favorite restaurant in Philadelphia. The atmosphere is a feeling of a mystical under-the-sea land, the food is inventive and perfectly prepared. The menu is a full scale delicasy from the fresh Sushi and sashimi to the Enormous entree's and impeccable desserts. Truly a extrodinary dining experience.

5 Stars: WORLD CLASS Restaurant!!! (by Alexander H.)

This is one of Stephen Starr's best restaurants! The Head chef is Morimoto himself, provides a world class menu worthy of an Iron Chef. I would highly recommend the Omakase, which is a seven course meal chosen by the chef himself. There are a few raw items on the menu, so please be forewarned if you do not eat raw meat. The taste of the food is exteremely flavorful, and I would have to say this is one of my favorite restaurants of all time.
The price can get quite expensive, but I believe that it is well worth the price.
The atmostphere is a lil out of place, with the restaurant being located on 7th and chestnut, but it is cool nonetheless.
