I really enjoyed Morimoto Asia. Food and service were great. My Wife loved the service but wasn't as happy with the food as me. From the time we entered Morimoto the service was exceptional. Our waiter was a super star and guided us through the menu and every ingredient and preparation. He knew his stuff and when he described the Special Sea Bass we immediately said "bring it". We started with the Hamachi Tacos. Mini Tacos with a Wonton shell filled with fresh Hamachi. The Guacamole and Jalapeño complimented the fish well and made these little bites the perfect way to start our meal. Next up was the Tuna Pizza which has been a favorite of mine since eating it at Morimoto's original restaurant in Waikiki. The fresh Ahi was delicious but there were Olives on the Pizza that shouldn't have been there. Totally overpowered the taste of the Ahi. I ended up picking them all off the Pizza. The Sticky Ribs were amazing. Perfectly cooked so the meat just fell off the bone. A little bit sweet and a perfect little spice. This is a must eat appetizer. We went for the Black Pepper Beef because they do not prepare it at the table. Some of the other dishes are brought to the table and cooked on a hot stone. The outdoor terrace was pretty hot and filled with smoke from other tables cooking. This all went away when they opened the sunscreens as the sun set. I loved the Black Pepper Beef. The beef was cooked to perfection and mixed with vegetables and a delicious sauce. If I were not eating low carb, I would have ordered a bowl of rice and drenched it with the sauce. We were going to order the Angry Lobster but when our waiter explained the Sea Bass Special we ordered it. The Sea Bass was amazing. Cooked perfectly with a nice sweet crust on the outside and moist on the inside. This is why you go out to eat and pay $30 or $40 for an entree. I am going back to Morimoto Asia to try some more menu items. In my world this place rocks!
