“Mori’s – A Legendary Experience Etched in Time

There’s something timeless about Mori’s. It’s not just the food - it’s the feeling. From the moment we walked in, Mori himself greeted us and helped us get settled. A legend in his own right, his presence added a deeply personal touch that made the meal feel like more than just dinner - it felt like a tradition.

My mom was visiting from out of town, and this was one of the first places on our list. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked - tender and flavorful. The vegetables and rice were simple but done just right.

But what really stood out - beyond the food - were the walls. Lined with photos, memories, and drawings created by children who’ve passed through these doors, the restaurant tells a quiet story of community, connection, and legacy.

It’s clear Mori’s is more than a restaurant - it’s a place where families return, time and time again.

Overall, a very good experience. A solid 4 out of 5 - only because I know that next time, there’s a chance it could be even better.“

“Food is good Nd worth every penny“

“I was invited to this restaurant that is inside of Level 8 in DTLA.

It’s a nice place. It’s an experience for sure.

It was crowded! It was a Saturday night; after all.

Courteous staff greeting. Pleasant servers.

Crispy and cold champagne. Stiff cocktails.

Overall good food; the beet salad WOW!

It did seem a little unorganized all together and all around.

First course was a salad and it took almost 30 minutes to come out. I finally asked the server who was a darling: (Dionne) Are you short staffed?

She replied; “no we’re not short staffed, it’s coming.”

After the salad it all seemed to have fallen into place.

A magician came to our table and he was somewhat funny. He definitely made the wait for food seem shorter as he entertained us with his cards.

I had a good time. Too crowded for me. Too loud, too. I’ve never been to a restaurant for dinner this crowded and this loud.

My date and I walked next door (literally) to Wanderlust and the live band was good. A Dj came after and was good, too. We had a table but our server came once and never again. Frankly; Wanderlust seemed over capacity.

We left early because it was too packed and couldn’t get a second round of cocktails at our table.

There was a lot of people standing in front of our table and in particular two very tall men in their grey, sweat pants and sweat shirt, sets.

Where did the dress code go? It’s L. A and it’s a Saturday night people! Cmon…..

I recommend experiencing Maison Kasai at least once.

Again, for me, the beet salad was the MVP of the night.

Hope you’re all enjoying your summer……“

“My wife and I popped into this quaint establishment for an early dinner and were so pleasantly surprised. We both had the stir fry over rice. Everything was fresh and the taste was outstanding. The owners were so friendly and welcoming, and they checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our food. We will definitely be returning!“

“the food never disappoints! and it just makes you want more.“

“Amazing place for enjoying with family and friends.. food is just awesome!!! Exceptional service.“

“Sensational and delicious, however I found the price a little high but that's not the reason for the four stars. I waited 25 minutes without any explanation at the store door. Other customers who ordered after me and with larger orders received the same before me. I'll still be back, I'll just order more in advance. The meat was at the medium doneness I ordered, perfect.“
