"I happen to find the restaurant’s design to be beautiful and don’t get where the “gimmick” comments are coming from at all. But be that as it may — for me Morimoto is all about the food...."
"the restaurant is a huge 12,000 square foot space located at the back end of chelsea market. it’s defining visual feature is the two floor wall of water bottles stacked on top of each other and back lit...."
"A FEW FRIENDS & I WENT TO MORIMOTO LAST YEAR WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS. I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED WATCHING THE IRON CHEF & THOUGHT CHEF MORIMOTO WAS QUITE THE GENIUS...."
"The freshly made block of tofu sitting in the bottom of the bowl didn't hurt either. Seriously, I keep saying I'm not a tofu kind of girl but I may just have to change my mind -- this was really soft, the taste of freshness seeping out, and just... wow. ..."
"There are a total of 7 comparisons, plus 2 additional courses that Morimoto served. parison so I advise you to take it with a grain of salt (or "a great assault" as my friend Jack would often say) mostly because the Nobu Omakase is from over 2 y..."
"The sushi certainly tasted fresh, and it was pretty good. Perfect for a lunch time meal, not too much and not too little. Not to mention, it wasn't too pricey at all (unlike their dinner). I was content with what I got...."

"He trained originally as a sushi chef and is a master of the sophisticated Japanese dining genre called kaiseki. These varied talents are all on display at Morimoto, which seems to have been conceived as several restaurants in one...."
"If a restaurant could succeed on logo alone, I’d bet on The Blue Owl, a fierce new cocktail den with a haunting blue owl mascot-as-logo. But since the drinks are as impressive as that violet bird, they wont have to bet it all on the graphics...."
"He's also bringing his game face with the design of the stunningly frosted space, which is all glass and Lucite, lit with a huge wall of (yes, that's right) plastic water bottles—a little touch of hip eccentricity that is signature Morimoto (like his diam..."

"Iron chef and erstwhile Nobu chef Masaharu Morimoto brings his Philadelphia restaurant to the ass end of Chelsea Market, with food that adds Chinese and European twists to creative Japanese cuisine. The space resembles a giant white tent, and employees sc..."
"The newly opened Morimoto is a branch of the main Philadelphia restaurant and is a whopping 12,000 square feet. Famous for their contemporary Japanese cuisine and the multi course menus, all the Morimoto restaurants are in a league of their own...."
