  • Morimoto is now one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Vegas! We ate here for dinner last night. The Vegas location of the iron chef's namesake is located in MGM's The District which is a walkway of shops and restaurants connecting the pool to the main casino. When my husband booked our reservation over the phone they asked for our eating preferences and our names which they remembered throughout the entire meal. The hostess sat us at a table next to the front window. I had to laugh because throughout the 2 hours of beautifully plated food with excellent customer service I must have counted at least 15 - 20 inner tubes go by. What's with the inner tubes?! It became a game to see how many we could catch on camera (see collage of photos taken). In true Japanese fashion we were served hot towels prior to starting our meal. On MGM's website and there was only 4 dinner entrees listed and none were vegetarian. Thankfully, at the restaurant the menu was massive and with the help of our server, Matthew, I was able to choose between about 15 savory options. He highly recommended the tempura which they could make with only vegetables, the shishito peppers, and an altered version of the Ishi Yaki Chasu Bop which was a rice dish usually served with yellowtail in a sizzling pot. They subbed in Tofu and a runny egg for the fish and called it a Tofu Bop (it's exactly like Korean Bibimbap). I thought the tempura would be humdrum and like all the other vegetable tempuras I've ever had... but it wasn't! Easily, the best tempura ever... and being half Asian... I've had a lot of tempura. They fry it at a very high temperature so not only the delicately light batter but also the vegetables get a little crispy. My favorites were the salad leaf and trumpet mushroom, which was a first for me. The tempura was served with a wasabi aioli. Delicious. The side of Blistered Shishito Peppers with Yuzu Soy tasted very good but also somewhat like others I've had. The Tofu Bop was presented and mixed table side in a sizzling pot. The only thing different from the Korean version for me was the sauce they pour over the rice which was a Sesame Soy Yuzu and oh so delicious! The rice was crispy from the pot and the flavors were very nice. I would definitely recommend this to future vegetarian eaters. My husband ordered the tuna tacos, spicy salmon roll and the angry chicken. He liked it all so so much. But being Asian, he ordered a side of sushi rice to go with the Angry Chicken. He said to trust him, it makes it better. Also he said this is not a good first date dish to order... it's hard to look cute while eating chicken on the bone. We had to order another set of hot towels to get him cleaned up. For dessert we got the Coconut Mango which was a mango parfait with coconut cake and green tea sorbet sprinkled with "snow". It was also plated with cookies that had the consistency of space ice cream and took me back to memories of eating it as a kid. The whole dessert was so delicious and creative and beautiful!! Overall we were very impressed and will return!! The only change we would make is to ask to sit away from the front window and all the inner tubes. Thank you Iron Chef Morimoto and team!
