A great evening with excellent service from the waiting staff Ke-Von and Ace for support. The ambiance is fantastic with outside sitting overseeing the ocean. The food especially appetizers when to die for. My main course was fair but not anything I would go for...again. I had the shrimp pad thai. (Generous on the shrimp and tofu). Overall, if you want some elegance and relaxation with friends this is a good place to eat.More

I was absolutely disappointed. This restaurant is completely underwhelming. Our order was sent to the wrong table, and the patrons picked it up and gave it back to the server. She then placed it on our table and said she was new. and sorry. This...is not how you run a restaurant at any level. Our waitress apologized and said she was new. Lame. We ordered the black cod and vegetable stir fry. It was average to just above average. The restaurant was very loud as well. It's not a great ambiance. However, the saving grace was the water guy, Ace. Who, by the way, had been there two weeks, he also was new and did an excellent job. My advice is don't waste your time. There are so many other amazing restaurants to choose from in the area.More

This restaurant ticks all the boxes - incredible food, beautifully set out and fantastic service. We went three times during our stay and loved it each time. All the food we ordered was delicious and the presentation was amazing. Cocktails were fabulous too. This is...a must do while in Waikiki.More

Perhaps we had unrealistic expectations, but if you can manage to disappoint eight out of eight diners something is off. For me, it was that there is MSG in everything but the salad and edamame. I had salad so I figured I could manage dessert....Tiramisu was trying so hard to be edgy and different that it was okay, but definitely missed being tiramisu. Presentation was special, service was above average. Decor was giant posters of food items that I guess was supposed to look modern, but didn't hit the right note for me. Perhaps some other locations are better done, but you will have to try them for yourself. I won't be back.More

We started with happy hour many reviews saying it was good and it was , we then went into the dining area. I think my expectations of Morimoto's may have been high as although it was good it didn't blow us away. We found the...orange chicken ok but the grilled miss black cod was what we expected of Morimoto's it was awesome great flavors. The table next to us got told specials we weren't ? My wife booked saying it was my birthday no mention from anyone I guess they don't read the booking emails?More

I've eaten here twice. Both times - awesome. It's a simple dish, but the hot and sour soup is excellent. The Old Fashioned is definitely worth ordering. I don't normally go for "famous chef from tv" restaurants but this is definitely worth visiting. The food...is excellent. (Look, it's good enough that I flew to O'ahu for my birthday to eat dinner here...)More

I was there with my husband. We ordered the shrimp pad Thai and the Mapo tofu. They were both good. Like you would get at a Panda Express. We also ordered two frozen beers. They were good too. The waiters kept pushing water on us,...they came back 4 times! still or sparkling they kept asking! They do charge for water. And we kept saying we are still waiting for the beer!!! Anyway, the waiter tried to push for a large order and what we ordered was plenty for the two of us. The entree portions are generous. Seating was lovely on the terrace with a nice ocean view.More

Food was underwhelming despite the flourish of table side stone reheating, flaming rum and Smokey cocktails. Service was friendly but timing was way off with appetizers being dropped followed almost immediately by mains. Dessert took an agonizingly long time to deliver. Iron out these kinks...and they’ll be up one more star.More

Very wonderful Japanese mixed infused with sushi and seafood. The dishes were fun delicious and filling. My family felt like nearly every dish was totally unique. The angry lobster little dry but hey. Lobster should be cooked while in steam anyway. Rest was creative and...fun. Very nice fun friendly waitstaff and great prices for high end. I highly recommend for anything — party, biz meet. Family, foodies. It’s just great and creative. Explore the menu. Our waiter suggested short ribs —nah we’re here for seafood only. Got both. Licking the sauce off fingers. That good!!! Go.More

Morimoto Asia Waikiki was awesome!! The food and sake was so delicious!! I have a gluten allergy and Janee, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our order did not have gluten. She checked with the chef and helped me navigate the menu. We...ordered sake, the chinese vegetables with tofu, the ishiyaki, and the crispy whole fish!!! Everything was done perfectly and was so happy to enjoy all the food and drinks. Thanks Janee!! You are awesome!! I would definitely recommend Morimoto Asia Waikiki!!!More

The wife made reservations and it was in the same hotel we were staying in so travel was a breeze lol. Took the elevator up to the 2nd level and walked into the lobby slash bar, welcoming and inviting our hostess walked us to our...table and introduced us to our waitress for the night. I was exited about eating just because I remember Morimoto from the Iron Chef tv series. Expect to pay a little more than average but I think you don’t get average, drinks were good also, our waitress was excellent, she had some good suggestions and specials. One of our top dinners on the island of HawaiiMore
