Really great restaurant! Loved the food so much we ate here two nights in a row. The first night my wife and I shared the sticky ribs appetizer. Yum!!! For entrees she had the Kung Pao chicken and I had Wagyu gaprao rice...The Kung Pao was great but the gaprao rice was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. The second night we had the wantons for appetizer and shared the orange chicken and fried rice which were really good as well. The service was impeccable and we dined ocean side one night with an awesome breeze and beautiful scenery.

I had an absolutely great experience at Morimoto Asia Waikiki.The service was top-notch; our waiter, Captain, was attentive and made sure every aspect of our dining experience was perfect, even down to replacing our plates between courses. The food was fantastic; I can't stop raving about the A5 hot stone dish that Captain recommended--it was hands down the best choice I made on my entire vacation. The ambience was amazing, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. I'm already planning my next visit, and I'll definitely be recommending this gem to my friends that live in the island!

THIS IS A MUST VISIT...I was really disappointed with my choices of restaurants on my trip to Hawaii until the last night, we found this gem! Not only was the food super flavorful but the service was superior to any place I have been before. My servers name was Captain... like seriously that's his name I'm not joking! The kitchen was firing with smoke and energy, I was truly entertained. The sticky ribs are too die for.. the meat was so tender, I thought captain was joking when he said " the ribs are so tender the pork would almost fall of the bone"but he was more than right. I think my favorite part was the surf and turf sushi roll that gets seared right next to the table! It comes with lettuce wraps and a delicious coat of A5 wagyu on top.. All around PHENOMENAL!!!

Desserttttttttt!!! Me and my husband were walking around looking for dessert after our lovely dinner date. Honestly we were just walking and passing by. I would have to say THE BEST TIRAMISU I have everrrrrr had! I think I'm still day dreaming about it now. Lol. The chocolate sphere was so cool. It's a chocolate ball they light on fire that comes with homemade chocolates and house made ice cream. We sat at the bar and our bartender was so great and kind! We were in and out and taken great care of. We will be happy to come back !

We were really lucky to get the table we got. We had a really nice view of the sunset. Service was just as awesome as the food. Kamalani and Chris were our servers, and they were so attentive. We got almost everything they recommended and it did not disappoint. My favorite items were the sticky ribs, house fried rice an I'm still dreaming about the shrimp. The tiramisu was incredible. I wasn't expecting much getting the vanilla ice cream but even that exceeded my taste buds. Price looks high but the amount you get as well as the quality of the food was sooo worth it. I can't wait to go back again.

Amazing, amazing, amazing service. Quality from the hostess to the runners, busses and server all just as much of 5 star quality just like the food. Had the ribs as an appetizer and the steak and garlic shrimp were phenomenal. Fried rice was superb and the Tiramisu was of another world. Loved it so much we are planning on making it a weekly or monthly thing for us. Don't wanna forget to mention the gorgeous sunset Thank you Kamalani and Christopher for the suggestions on dishes and service.

It was fun to have hibachi at the beach! The food was fresh and the portions were large. I got the large prawns which was really good. The veggies were zucchini and the drinks - I got a mule - was great! The best part was the ice cream that is also included! I got the green tea flavor and cannot recommend enough!

We went there for pre-dinner drinks and appetizer. It is located in front of the Waikiki Beach and the ambiance is chic. The staff was friendly and fast, we did not wait long to order and to be served. The wontons were really good and not too spicy. The cocktail was original and tasty. I would like to go back and try more grin their dinner nenu

the food was amazing but I was really impressed with the service of staff. Everyone was smiling and willing to help.
For a renown Japanese chef, I highly anticipated a great meal to visit one of his signature restaurant here in Oahu! Not the case, let's start with the service, attentive, food I have to say was salty, happy hour items I tried the miso soup, sticky ribs, fish carpaccio, happy hour nachos, HH Takoyaki and couple of drinks. Finding the food just to salty for me I had to order steam rice to balance out the over sauced food. Ambiance can't say it was interesting, but then that doesn't dictate the taste of the food. I leave judgement to you, his name on the restaurant doesn't do him justice as an iron chef. Mind you I enjoy eating out, but by no means a food critic!

We had an amazing time here! We were in Hawaii for our birthdays. Most of the dishes were pretty good, there were a few that were just okay. The service was actually amazing. Very attentive, friendly, and funny. It's very nice inside but can get loud. Favorite dish was the sticky ribs. The flavors were on point and fell off the bone. Definitely give this place a try!
