Yesterday Joe, Gary and I had lunch at Morimoto. We aren't expecting a lot because the restaurant isn't very highly rated for its food. But it's a beautiful restaurant and a celebrity hotspot (though not for restaurant week lunches).
We were a bit disappointed to find out we weren't getting a 3 course meal which is typical of restaurant week. Instead we got miso soup (typical), salad (good), and an assorted sushi plate.
The sushi really was top notch. Every piece was soft as butter and melted in your mouth. There was the right amount of rice and the pieces were pretty large. Overall it was more food than I could finish. We heard the non sushi items were not that great so we avoided those. I'd say the sushi is a small step down from Jewel Bako, but still some of the best I've had. And you really can't complain for $24.
Price paid for food: $24
Regular price: $50
Would pay: $24 for lunch, though up to $40 if it was dinner
