Morimoto Las Vegas

"Visited with my wife and son. 1 star as they are intentionally trying to rip off their customers. I had two bourbons as part of my meal. They charged me $4 per glass more than the menu stated and IN ADDITION THEY CHARGED $4 PER DRINK FOR ICE!!! Note, I got standard ice which was free with the ice water on the table. UNACCEPTABLE to scam your customers out of $4 for regular basic ice. The food was truly excellent but after 3 appetizers and 3 entrees we left the restaurant hungry. The cost of our meal was more than $100 per person. A real scam. AVOID."

"Morimoto is an upscale "Japanese" restaurant inside of the MGM Grand. Overall, I gave it a 4/5 stars. For the price, I would have anticipated more sushi options and Japanese-based dishes similar to those I found on my travels throughout Japan. However, it seems that the menu has been "Americanized" and includes items like a California Roll, which I would never have guessed to be on an upscale Japanese menu. Outside of their sushi, it's largely a seafood based restaurant. I have a tough time considering this a true Japanese restaurant and being that Japanese is my favorite food, I was pretty disappointed in the menu. Our server was kind and I would give him a 5/5. I honestly forgot his name (shorter male of Asian descent I believe if he sees this - thank you). When we did get our food, we ordered tacos, soup, and sushi (pictured is every tuna option they had). The food was tasty. I just wished they would steer more towards authentic Japanese rather than it being "Americanized" and serving entrees that you would find in a seafood restaurant."

"We made a reservation through the MGM Resorts app. We walked by the sushi/itamae chef's (there were about 6 or 7) who all greeted us as we were led to our table. My husband and I were seated at a nice table with soft bench like seats. Great ambiance. The service was fantastic, and the dishes were not only beautiful but melt in your mouth delicious."

"We came here for dinner on 3/11 around 6:30. We had reservations for 7:00, but once we introduced ourselves, they seated us immediately. Our server, Peter, was absolutely outstanding. He was kind and extremely helpful and very personable. He really took exceptional care of us. I started the evening with a flight of astounding sake. Each sip was smooth and fruity. Then we had the tuna tacos and the pork belly for our appetizers. The tacos had a crisp shell with beautiful tuna and topped with a sliver of pepper that was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. The pork belly was out of this world. Every bite was tender and the rice congee rounded out the smokiness with a bit of sweetness. The miso soup was one of the best we’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Then we had the soft-shell crab roll and the braised black cod. The roll was delicious and the cod was beautifully cooked and wonderfully seasoned. But the desert was the most unforgettable part! The fiery chocolate tart was not only decadently delicious, but the flames were really sensational. We absolutely loved our meal, and we had a really good time!"

"Spent 3 weeks in the US and this was the nicest meal! We started with the pork belly, sticky ribs and shrimp tempura. This food was ‘lick the plate clean’ sort of food! The Rock Shrimp tempura looked as though it was saucy & not crispy however it had a delicate crispy texture. The ribs fell off the bone and the pork belly was full of flavour. For our mains we got 4 different types of sushi and the broiled Chilean sea bass. Both were delicious however the sea bass stood out for us. The sea bass was moreish, tender, and flavoursome. Great experience and would highly recommend."
