    I had such high hopes because I saw good reviews. But 3 out of 4 things we ordered were subpar. They are famous for their sticky ribs, but our was cold on the inside and mushy on the outside. The duck was flavorless and chewy, as no fat had been rendered and the skin was not at all crispy. The fried rice was acceptable but we had to salt it and add soy. The dimsum was delicious. With the amount of money they charge I was hoping for much better.

    Second visit in a row where the service was horrible - dirty dishes left on the table for 15+ mins, empty drinks, etc. Left before main course.

    Had the best meal at Morimoto‘s last night. Started off with cocktails, appetizers and their fried rice and crispy duck. I must say the experience was quite delightful. The appetizers we chose were goyzo, hot sour soup and spicy wontons. The service was excellent, and the noise level was quite satisfactory. Every time I come to Honolulu, this is my go to place. You won’t be disappointed. But to be fair, it is a touch on the pricey side, but well worth it.

    My husband and I have eaten at both the Morimoto restaurants in Napa, California, many times, and find the food and atmosphere to be spectacular every time. The Honolulu outpost, however, regrettably fails to live up to the high standards of cuisine with which the Morimoto name has come to be associated. The food was strikingly lacking in flavor and uninspired. I can’t help but feel as if Mr. Morimoto has not been to visit his Honolulu location in some time, and think that it could do with a culinary and design revamp. From the uncomfortable seating to the tired and out-of-place canvas photographs of uninspired food displayed on the walls, the outpost is long overdue for an overhaul inside and outside the kitchen. We love Mr. Morimoto’s restaurants and hope that Honolulu can manage to turn things around, because nothing about the experience spoke to his excellence as a world-renowned Iron Chef and restauranteur.

    All of the food was delicious except the shrimp. It had to be peeled and the texture was mushy. The service started out slow taking over 30 minutes to order and get drinks.

    The recent experience at Morimoto Asia was disappointing. The service was slow and the food was mediocre. On top of the terrible service, the credit card was not returned at the end. We had to ask for the card to be returned.

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Food was good - tasty and well executed across everything we ordered. Ambience and service were on point. And overall, felt like it was a good value for the money.
