Profile
The well-thought-out and often surprising flavor combinations that first made this Japanese restaurant a destination are as strong as ever. We’re still happily ordering slow-cooked pork belly, fresh tofu, and yellowtail buri bop in the energetic dining room, where sashimi comes seasoned with house-fermented soy, real wasabi is grated tableside, and the stylish waiters are well-versed in these essential minutiae.

Review
I have been to Morimoto before and I liked it. This time was different. I was shocked by the sashimi that I was served. The salmon sashimi was in two pieces, very thin and looked like scraps that they couldn't use somewhere else. I have been in the business and made sushi for many years. If you are going to charge top dollar, you need to serve top dollar. The manager did correct the problem and moved us to a table from the sushi bar.

We weren't too impressed with Morimoto, compared to the money you spend. The decor and service was great. Food was good, but nothing extraordinary. I've had better sushi at many other places. I have heard that you should try the tasting menu, so perhaps we should try again sometime.
