Wonderful garden. Very educational about Japanese immigrants who settled in this area over 100 years ago and helped to shape the culture of the area.
Amazing food and staff. Been eating here every time I visit the museum. Truly delicious Japanese cuisine. Perfect
A wonderful meal after a visit to the beautiful Japanese gardens.
We ordered vegetarian and regular bento boxes; spicy tuna rolls; noodles off the kids menu and boba tea.
The hot foods were hot, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!!

The Cornell Café at Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens offers a peaceful dining experience with reasonable prices. Located within the beautiful museum and gardens, the café provides a menu board and counter service where guests order and pay before selecting a seat. While some gluten-free options are available, a fully gluten-free bento box lunch is not yet offered. The food is consistently excellent and fresh, with the teriyaki salmon being a popular choice. Visitors often enjoy the great views and the serene surroundings, which enhance the meal after exploring the gardens. The serving sizes are generous, and dishes like Yaki Noodles with teriyaki chicken are satisfying. The outdoor seating allows guests to experience the calming sounds of the garden, adding to the overall enjoyment. The staff is delightful, providing prompt and attentive service. The café is well worth a visit, especially for those looking to combine good food with beautiful scenery and a relaxing atmosphere.
