Morimoto Asia Waikiki

Our server checked on us just one time. We were waiting and they brought out my main dish 20 minutes before they brought out our apitizers. Then then bring our rice bowls out last. We are Asian, eating Asian food, we eat rice with everything. Why is it coming out last? Our server introduced herself while she told the couple sitting 3 feet away from us that she has to get an order in she forgot. She checked in on us just one time the whole night. What a bad experience.

The Good.. beautiful view elegant atmosphere wonderful customer service...The Bad.. it's loud horrible music playing very loudly I barely could eat peacefully.. food was okay I had the ribs they were literally fall off the bone there was a lot of fat on my ribs but good (not better than PF Chang's ribs tho) then I had the fried rice with chicken and shrimp it was just ok not a lot of flavor as you can see by the picture... this place is definitely overpriced for what is being served.

We recently dined at Morimoto Asia Waikiki, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone, elegant, upscale, and refined without feeling stiff. The lighting was warm, the décor modern and polished, and almost everyone was dressed in elegant attire, which made perfect sense for such a fancy dining experience. It felt like the kind of place where you naturally want to dress up and enjoy a special night out. The service was exceptional. The waiters were so nice, attentive, and professional throughout the entire evening. They explained dishes clearly, checked in at the perfect times without being intrusive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Their level of professionalism really elevated the whole experience. Now for the food, absolutely delicious. We started with the sticky ribs, which were tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. They had that balance of savory and slightly sweet that makes you want to savor every bite. The house fried rice was comforting but elevated, rich in flavor and beautifully cooked. The whole duck was a standout. The presentation alone was impressive, and the meat was perfectly cooked, crispy skin with juicy, flavorful meat inside. The miso black cod was buttery and delicate, practically melting in your mouth, with that signature umami depth that makes it unforgettable. We also ordered the 16oz rib-eye steak, and it was cooked beautifully, tender, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Even with so many dishes, everything felt intentional and well-executed. To finish, we had the dessert that steals the show, the chocolate-covered ice cream sphere where they pour fire over the ball of chocolate. Watching the flames melt through the chocolate shell was such a dramatic and fun experience. Once cracked open, the ice cream inside was smooth and perfectly balanced, a sweet and exciting way to end the meal. Our total tab came out to around $380, which reflects the premium quality of the food, the presentation, the outstanding service, and the overall fine dining experience. It’s definitely a splurge, but for a special occasion or a nice night out in Waikiki, it’s worth it. Overall, Morimoto Asia Waikiki delivered incredible food, beautiful presentation, professional and kind service, and a pleasant upscale environment. We left full, impressed, and already talking about what we’d order next time.

I’ve travelled across the United States. I been to many world famous chefs restaurants. But this is hands down executed far better that any of the others. I’d fly back here just for this. It was perfect.

OMG, this restaurant is top-of-the-top. We went for New Year's Eve with our family and we had the best night ever. They have the best service; they are so nice and friendly. The water guy made our night better; he was very attentive and always happy. Waiters are very professional and very knowledgeable about the menu. Food is a 10 out of 10. We are coming back to try more food 😋 😀 Thanks for everything. Happy New Year 2026!

Came here for NYE dinner. Food and service were excellent!! Everything was nicely plated , fresh and tasty. Portions were on the smaller side for family style meals. Ordered the spicy chicken wontons, carpaccio hamachi, garlic green beans, orange chicken, pork ribs (must order), and himachi stone bowl (forgot the name), and flaming chocolate sphere. Highly recommend - request table outside for best seating ambiance! Great for larger groups.

Christopher was our server and he went above and beyond! We came here as an end to our week long honeymoon and he made the whole experience more than we could have dreamed of!! Ryon and Skye also did great at making sure our table had full water cups and took our plates right when we finished. If you want the most amazing food you’ve EVER had with service to match, you should make a reservation here! 💯

Everything about our dinner was top notch! The hospitality was beautifully orchestrated while also not being overbearing! Every single person was so nice, you can definitely feel the Aloha! Now for the food, everything was a 10/10!! The duck amazinggg, the ribeye was so juicy and and sticky ribs are a must! This was an unforgettable experience for sure! Our server Nezi was awesome, the manager Sara was so helpful, and the support staff was the equivalent to the 2016 golden state warriors! Will definitely be back soon

Had a lovely experience here. Our server Yoon was very professional and did a great job with excellent service Food was lovely, duck was great, everything is a winner. Venue is well presented Good spot for date night or special occasion. Worth the spend

A celebration of all things good from the Pacific Rim, Morimoto Asia Waikiki well-reflects and elevates the culinary diversity drawn from Hawaii. Order family style so as to try as many treats on menu, while sharing amongst good company over cocktails. As with any Hawaiian table, pretty much any and all combinations of dishes will work. Highlights include old-time Morimoto classics such as Tuna Pizza (i.e. sashimi tostada) and Fish Carpaccio (e.g. Japanese ceviche). Sticky Ribs, in hoisin sweet chili, is a definite all-around crowd pleaser. Ishiyaki Buri Bop, Ribeye Steak (16oz) and Angry Lobster make an excellent surf-and-turf combo to close the meal — and are a joy for all senses. Served in hot stone pot or sizzling iron plates, proteins are seared and sauces bubbling table side. Desserts, top-notch. Ube Basque Cheesecake is amazingly creamy, earthy but still slightly tart. Chocolate Entremet is served flambé. Excellent and on-point front-of-house service team, providing a truly fine-dining experience, with still a welcoming and personable beach vibe. Interior and exterior seating, chic designed.
