The food is absolutely world class. The ambiance is not. Take away the colorful lights and wave ceiling and the restaurant is basically a very noisy diner. This is too bad as Morimoto's genius can't fully be enjoyed in this atmosphere. Morimoto has done his part but his business partners have failed in their contribution. Order the omakase. The chef's creations are outstanding. Layers of flavors and texture. Everything is very fresh. The Chef's choice sake is exceptional. My wife would have preferred a soup and some type salad with the omakase as it was all protein. She also prefers Nobu's. Go once to experience Morimoto. Beyond once it just isn't worth enduring the dining conditions at these prices ($390 for two including tip).
Pros: the food was great, the service was OK, the location is good
Cons: ambiance missing, noise-VERY LOUD, price too high
