Morimoto - Philadelphia

Amazing Chirashi Bowl, especially for takeout. Served in a wonderful "Morimoto" box. Fish was high quality, super fresh , plenty of pearl roe that fill each bite with an extra burst of flavor. House made wasabi. So good I ordered 2 days in a row!

The sushi rolls had too much scallion and were nothing special. The Morimoto Ramen Soup was subpar. SukiyakiUdon, and Braised Pork Belly were mediocre. Im Japanese and none of the items i received were even close to authentic. Go anywhere else for good japanese food, especially for the price.

Shrimp tempura, spicy vegetable tempura and spicy tuna always delic and on point 10/10

Upon first glance, the dish presented itself as a promising one, with a beautifully plated raw fish at its center. However, as I took my first bite, it became apparent that the seasoning on the rice was overpowering. The bold flavors of the seasoning completely overshadowed the delicate and nuanced taste of the fish, leaving me with a sense of disappointment. Despite the quality of the fish itself, the lack of balance between the rice and fish left something to be desired. It is my hope that the chef can find a way to better highlight the true essence of the raw fish in future preparations.

I ordered from here spec because I loved "Iron Chef" as a child. I got Cha Soba, Hoku Hoku potatoes, a spicy vegetable tempura roll and the ume/Shiso/cucumber roll. Overall, Id recommend against the Cha Soba (it was pretty underwhelming, and quite expensive for what it was. Wasnt bad, just got wasnt worth it. The ume/shiso/cucumber roll was nice and refreshing pretty appropriate as a fair weather food. The spicy vegetable tempura roll was quite good too, though it just was not even remote approaching spicy. The Hoku Hoku potatoes were very good, in my opinion, but might be a bit overpriced still. Im glad that I got food from here, but dont expect a real Iron Chef experience.
