Being a big Morimoto fan, I watched him on Iron Chef Japan and salivated over his dishes, dreaming of the day when I can have a taste of one of his creations. We were in Vegas last September and this place wasn't opened yet, so needless to say I was super excited to see a Morimoto in Vegas this time around. It was added to our list for this year's visit. There was much anticipation for our last dinner in Vegas before our departure.
Unfortunately we were disappointed with the food. We started off with an appetizer, I had Laksa soup and my spouse had miso clam soup. Then the main dishes; my husband had miso glazed black cod with a side of rice and I had roasted pork with Kim chi and a side of butter potatoes. The black cod was really good and with the rice it was perfect, but I can honestly say it's comparable to Soho, and at Soho it's more economical.
The biggest disappointment was the roasted pork, because pairing it with the Kim chi ruined the flavour of the pork. Pork was cooked to perfection, tender, moist and juicy.
We walked away feeling meh about the place unfortunately.
