SO good!! We went on a Friday evening for my husband's birthday and got there around 6. We waited…read moreabout 25 minutes to be seated, which honestly wasn't bad at all! We ordered a bunch of things to share- the chicken karaage, gyoza with wings, okonomiyaki, tonkotsu black ramen, and a few skewers. Everything was delicious, but the shishito peppers were SO good! We also had our 1 year old with us and she absolutely LOVED the ramen broth and noodles, which was so cute. Such a cool spot with great food!

Food was mid and absolutely not worth the wait. I came on a Saturday night at 8pm and was told…read morethere would be an hour wait. I fell asleep waiting in my car after an hour goes by and went inside to check because I saw empty tables from the outside and had heard from the hostess. I told her that I had been waiting for over an hour and she said that there was about 4 parties in front of me. I went back outside to wait for less than 5 min and she called me in saying the table had cancelled so my table is now available. That was already a red flag - she totally forgot about me!!! After being seated, the waiter took literally 15min to even come acknowledge us because he was too busy talking to his friends at the next table. Tonkotsu black ramen - 3/5 (not flavorful) Miso-hot ramen - 3/5 (bland and not creamy) Tan tan men ramen - 3/5 (the flavors were there but the noodles were super soggy) Tempura king oyster mushroom - 2/5 (bland, thick and hard to chew. they should've cut it into thinner pieces) Karaage - 3/5 (flavorful but chucks were too big and had too much batter) Inner thighs yakitori - 5/5

Morimoto Asia is special to me and my family. I don't understand the relatively low average review…read morescore here on Yelp. Located in Disney Springs, it is upscale enough for a nice date but can also serve as a family restaurant. Everything we've had at this restaurant has been at least good but closer to sensational. They have a great ability to make dishes of different Asian origins at a high level. It is also very reasonably priced, including kids' meals. The crispy shrimp is perfectly cooked, light and the sauce adds flavor with good balance. The spare ribs are delicious, filling and satisfying. The fried rice, which I love to eat with the ribs, is great on its own and a great vehicle for many if their meats. The Chilean seabass is interesting with a preparation that is different from any other restaurant where I've had it. It was more mild than I'm used to with a noticeable influence from the broth. Really good overall. The pecking duck is legitimate with a fitting preparation and served properly. Great meal for two. My favorite of all the dishes that I've tried at this place might just be the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth is just so well infused with pork flavor and the viscosity is just right. It is incredibly satisfying and filling as well.

We celebrated a triple birthday in our family at Morimoto, and while we enjoyed some aspects…read more of the experience, overall, it was a bit disappointing. I understand the need to maximize seating, but we were seated on the second floor at a round table for nine, and it was extremely tight. There was very little room to move comfortably, and I think the restaurant should consider that while maximizing the number of diners, guests also want to be comfortable--especially when celebrating a special occasion. The food was good, but honestly, not great considering the reputation and prestige of Morimoto. My mom and several family members ordered the fried rice and said it was the worst they've had. My husband and I shared the ribs, crispy shrimp, and vegetables, and we enjoyed those dishes. This was my second time dining at Morimoto, and I remember my first experience being much better. Unfortunately, the slow service, cramped seating, and inconsistency with some of the food made this visit less enjoyable. I'm giving Morimoto 3 stars. I expected a more memorable experience, especially for a special family birthday celebration.

The food was incredible. The portions are HUGE and packed with flavor, so you'll definitely leave satisfied. They were also very accommodating with allergies and food preferences, which we really appreciated. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the waiting area was a nice touch.

I had a wonderful birthday dinner at Oza Izakaya. The ambience is beautiful and refined. They did a…read morespectacular job of creating an amazing space that served up some really delicious food. I began the evening with one of their hot-tasting items, the Wagyu Gyoza. It was so nicely flavored, with great texture. This could either be a shareable item or enjoyed alone. We also ordered the Negima (chicken breast) and the Spicy Argentinian Red Shrimp. I would order both items again. The chicken was moist and the shrimp was spicier than I expected, but oh so good! For our main entrees, I ordered the Miso Black Cod, and my husband had the Kyoto Paitan Ramen. The Ramen was well-seasoned, and the Cod was delicately plated, with crisp capers that added a layer of flavor. The House Strawberry Lemonade was refreshing, and the Okinawa Breeze was lightly sweet and colorful. It will be one of the most memorable cocktails I've had because of its presentation and taste. We ended the night with the Woo Baby (Ube Cheesecake) and the Yuzu Delight (Yuzu Cheesecake). The yuzu was tart and the ube was light and creamy. Both are outstanding dessert options. The entire night flowed effortlessly, thanks to our server Miguel. He was so organized in his approach and was so kind and funny. His presence was greatly welcomed and appreciated. If you have any celebration coming up or just want a lovely evening out, this is the place.

The food was fresh & hot, but the seasoning was a little mild for my taste. Service was fast, which was a plus. You order your food through a self-service kiosk & pay for it 1st, then they bring your food out to you. It's a pretty simple & convenient setup,although the lines can get long.

They do take reservations so if it's a holiday or a busy weekend, I'd suggest making a reservation. The restaurant is good for all occasions: families, date night, birthdays....all the days!

Everything was very nicely decorated and there was more than enough seating. Even with so much seating, there were people waiting in the lobby as well! The staff got my order and I was out the front door very quickly. I decided ot get some Yellowtail Crudo and Hokkaido. The Hokkaido which was seared scallops, lobster, crab, tobiko and a couple other things was insane in the best way. The seafood was soooo fresh and the flavors blended perfectly. The yellowtail melted in my mouth and I was trying so hard not to inhale it because the portion was nice but I do wish it was bigger for the price. Overall a phenominal place that I will make it a mission to visit again when I am in Orlando!

It's near the parks but out of the way and hidden enough that unless you somehow discovered this gem, you'd have no idea it was there. I genuinely believe that's this places advantage, as there's minimal seating and a very intimate and kind environment. Staff can really focus on you, get to know you and spoil you to bits. We went during a Saturday lunch 12pm and it was mostly full but quiet and relaxing. Everyone was super kind and accommodating, and they even filled up my husband's water bottle for him with filtered water as she knew we were going back to the parks. Plus... there's a bidet in the bathroom if that's your style ~ Now as for what we ordered, we actually opted to try some al a cart favorites where you check what you would like with a pen.
