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.
Great lunch date spot, the food was delicious, the people are very nice and the scenery is cool.
Amazing food and staff. Been eating here every time I visit the museum. Truly delicious Japanese cuisine. Perfect

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.
