Best meal ever.. fantastic environment, amazingly outstanding food. The staff knew everything about every meal. Certainly a place for a special meal. We had sticky ribs to start and crispy pork belly These were so good. We both had the Angry Lobster for main, this was AMAZING. So many flavours and alot of meat..... actually thought i was going to roll all the way back to the hotel i was so full. A little on the pricey side for what we ordered but menu is extensive and reasonable otherwise. Great night

Great food and wonderful ambiance. Nestled above the main strip in Waikiki, chef Morimoto does it again with his great menu. This restaurant focuses on Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes served family style. We had the dim sum sampler, the black pepper beef, and the black cod which were all delicious. I have to say the dim sum sampler is nothing incredible so I recommend trying something else however it was still very good. The star was the black cod which had great flavor.

The food was amazingly delicious at Morimoto Asia. The atmosphere was relaxing with good energy and vibe. The staff was friendly, and our server was knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating. My 11 year old son, husband and I enjoyed all the shared family style dishes. We ordered the green beans, spicy tuna crispy rice, mapo tofu, BBQ black cod & black pepper beef. My husband loved the beef dishes, so juicy with loads of flavors. The cod was my son's favorite dish, very soft buttery fish that melts in your mouth. The spicy tuna crispy rice was delicious appetizer with great flavors. The mapo tofu was lovely too with small chunks of tofu mixed in. Celebrating our wedding anniversary, we enjoyed the Morimoto tiramisu, which was so smooth & decadent with loads of flavor.

Morimoto Asia is a more casual, family style version of the Morimoto dining experience compared to its NYC location. We tried the steak, Peking duck, yakisoba, angry Thai lobster. Duck and lobster was delicious! Yakisoba was mid (we got it as a more kid friendly option). Steak was ok (but I prefer the steak in NYC). I mentioned in my reservation - it was my 10th wedding anniversary - the staff kept asking me at check in and at the table if we were celebrating a special occasion so we had to repeat ourselves. Server never offered anything to commemorate (like a special occassion dessert etc) until another server flagged it and brought it to our table AFTER we already were served our dessert we bought (super awkward). Otherwise service was very prompt and timely. Dessert wasn’t great (the one we paid for and the ice cream treat comped). I wouldn’t go back again — for the price you pay, I’m expecting all dishes to hit 🔥

This is my second experience dining at Morimoto Asia Waikik. This time I did an early dinner reservation on the 14th of October for my birthday. I'd planned (for about a decade) on doing this birthday at 21 in Manhattan but it closed and the dishes at Morimoto are just outstanding, so instead of flying to JFK I flew to O'ahu. We had two different Carpaccios, both divine as well as a Wagu roll that was (for the second time) fantastic. Of note, the old fashioned is finished tableside and is a unique experience. The one of particular note though is a dish most view as the starter that doesn't get noticed. Hot and Sour Soup. The Hot and Sour Soup is absolutely the best I've ever had. It's not a flagship dish but it's certainly worth trying. I almost enjoyed it more than some of the other dishes but they were so over the top it wasn't possible. If I could have that for lunch on a cold Seattle winter day I'd do it all the time.

Good food, good atmosphere. We have been to several Morimoto restaurants and I have to say this one was good but not my favorite. I will say the sticky ribs were great along with the gyoza. Mains were pretty good. I would certainly want to try more of the menu and it was definitely good enough to come back

This dining experience was long-anticipated and was definitely our favourite dining experience and a highlight of our trip to Hawaii. My daughter Shelby and I have been amazed at the quality of food challenges on the Iron Chef series and as fans, when we saw that Iron Chef Morimoto had a restaurant in Waikiki, we decided to book it for our last night in Honolulu, prior to leaving for Hawaii. The staff, particularly Ken and Captain, were truly charming and highly professional. The menu in itself is a work of art. We had the most beautiful orange chicken and the signature dessert, the spectacular chocolate sphere, which we shared. We both loved these selections. The orange chicken was the best I have had for depth of flavour and it was presented superbly. It's such a classy restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. We were treated so well and were given a beautiful, autographed dessert menu from Masaharu Morimoto, which is going to be framed on our wall. Thank you so much. If we ever visit Hawaii again, we will be back.

Stumbled upon this place walking by with wife and kiddos and it said Happy Hour from 5-6pm everyday, it was 540 so we went in. Lovely beautiful and well attired ladies welcomed us in beach clothes and stroller. The Happy Hour menu is small but everything on it was super delicious and I’d say an adequate amount for price Charged so I’d say it was a bargain when you combine quality, amount and atmosphere of the place. The duck fat fries were THE BEST fries I’ve had. The nachos were yummy Asian/Mexican fusion, the pork dumpling was fluffy full of subtle flavors and slightly sweet. The Tokuyaki was delicious and perfectly fried. Not on the Happy Hour Menu but still enjoyed was the pork ribs, $16 for 3 was well worth it as it full of flavor, meat fell off the bones and sauce was exceptional. The lychee Nigori Sake was a perfect drink to go along with the food as well. The rum drink on the Happy Hour Menu was also very very good.

The food, service and view was fabulous. The sticky short ribs were tender, juicy, finger licking explosion in my mouth, the fried rice a perfect balance of flavors, and the orange chicken juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. It's a must eat when in Hawaii

Wow… exceptional in every way! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff was not only so friendly but they were very attentive. I will 100% be coming back and bringing family!

I went during Happy Hour (5-6pm); got the takoyaki, duck fat fries, rosé, spicy tuna with crispy rice, and mapo tofu. HAPPY HOUR MENU is average at best: Takoyaki was still frozen in the middle so I sent it back. I was hoping they’d send out a fresh one but they didn’t. At least they took out the order from my receipt. Duck fat fries were ok. No taste and soft fries. Rosé was ok. Not memorable or anything special. I didn’t finish. MAIN MENU is where the focus should be: Spicy tuna crispy rice was very tasty with the spicy tuna and crispy rice. Mapo tofu is one is the best I’ve had in my entire life. They make the rice to order so that took a bit longer to get to the table. Mapo tofu is not spicy at all and there’s so much flavor. The tofu is so silky and tasty.
