I went in knowing it was going to be expensive, so price was not a huge concern. I wanted this meal to be about the experience since we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. With that said, no matter what the price, the food was not very good. I was so disappointed!
I ordered the $120 tasting menu and my husband got the rock shrimp tempura and the seafood toban yaki. 5/8 courses of the tasting menu were raw fish. I had hoped for a little more variety, but they kept bringing out raw fish. Some were good, some not so good and it all started to taste the same after a while. They did bring out a half a lobster, but the spices were overpowering and the lobster was dry. The rock shrimp tempura was good, but just like bang bang shrimp from Bonefish Grill and a local restaurant by us has the same, both for a much lower price. The seafood toban yaki was barely edible. I thought it had way too much salt and a funky flavor. We also ordered a side of wasabi fried rice and we both took one bite and didn't touch it, it was gross, not edible. DO NOT ORDER!
However since it is Morimoto, I would suggest going there once to satisfy curiosity. Mine is satisfied, so I will never go back. The service was good, attentive and our waiter remembered to wish us a happy anniversary and took a picture for us.
Our bill was $220 (without tip). I had a diet coke and my husband had 3 Sapporos. Would have been much happier at Midtown Continental for $80.
Pros: service
Cons: price, food
