Excellent meal and at a great price for the chefs tasting menu. Everything was fresh and delicious. They forgot one of my drinks, but brought it out quickly once I mentioned it and they didn't charge me for it.
Beginning to end, fantastic. Great servers, better food.

We did not have reservations but were lucky enough to get a seat at the Sushi bar. We ordered several spicy rolls and a couple of regular. Our server was attentive and polite.The reason for three stars is our spicy Sushi was not spicy at all. We let our server know and he took it away and returned later with fresh rolls. The solution was to add more spicy Mayo inside and added a dolup atop of each piece. It would have been best had we just not ordered it spicy. Sushi/Sashimi is served by the piece and seems a bit expensive for that.

First time at Morimoto. What fantastic food and an absolutely amazing experience. Went as a family of 4 and chose the Teppen Grill. We ordered unagi and kinmedai to start. The Tappan grille was not the show we were used to, as the emphasis was on the food, but it was amazing. Our chef made it a fun experience. We had a variety of food, rice and noodles. We were not dissapointed. We ordered the Bonsai Garden and Fiery Tart for desert, and had no idea what we were in for. Just amazing. Definitely recommend

Morimoto: crispy whole fish, rock fish tempura, sea urchin, spider roll, bourbon & gin cocktails. Busy casino, good service, mediocre sushi for the price.

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.

I have been to vegas many many times and by far one of the best meals. We had a group of 4 and shared the Ishi Yaki Chashu Bop Chashu Pork On Rice, whitefish carppacio, rock shrimp temputa, sticky pork ribs, tiger roll, 16oz domestic waygu, chiliean seabass, 1 waygu sushi piece, mixed vegetables and for dessert a fiery chocolate tart. Wow the food, the ambiance and the knowledge and kindness of our server Steve was absolutely amazing and memorable. We also had 4 mocktails which was so flavourful and an asian pear bevy. Would absolutely suggest and recommend

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.
Attentive service and delicious Sushi! Perfect before a show.

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.
