sushi  

“...I'd recommend starting with a drink at the downstairs bar- the white pear and lychee martini's were like liquid gold in my mouth! When our whole party arrived, we headed upstairs w/ our drinks to be seated, and the guys in our group ordered about 10 diff appetizers, and a few sushi rolls to share! I've tried a few entrees here, but the arctic char was one of my favorites- I've never tried it before coming here, but I'm now a fan!...

    LOOOOVE Morimoto. I go there at least once every 3 months and the quality of food and service remains perfect. If you go, make sure to go to the bathroom. I want their amazing toilets in my house (yeah, they have the best bathrooms in NYC). Sit at the bar, it's my favorite place to sit.

    I Ate:

    • $75 sushi combo: Amazing ($75)
    • $35 sashimi combo: Amazing ($35)
    • Sparkling Water: hmmm, it was sparkling water ($8)

    I'll just tell you I'm a a huge food obsessed. So... Recently, on the road I visited Morimoto in New York. Now I am from Boston however previously been to New York a ton of occasions. My spouse and I really like the diversity of eateries. Everyone in that restaurant was really nice! The vibe was remarkable. Probably one of my own problems would be the preso wasn't that remarkable. The look was fine and yet failed to give you that "omg" feeling. The quality as well as quantity of food turned out wonderful. Even though virtually no serious complaints. Among the 2 apps and 2 main courses we ordered, I probably would rate 3 as wonderful just one as really okay We had a wonderful evening! So refreshing with there being lots of New York City eateries that are terrible. Also was to see a NYC eating place without a lot attitude.
