Morimotos
Henry and I went to Morimotos again, he had a gift certificate we had to spend. We went to the one in Philly again and convinced Samantha to go with us. (We went last May with a few friends and actually got to take a few photos with Masaharu Morimoto himself.)Samantha got the $120 Omakase, I got the $80 Omakase and Henry ordered separate items.
There is a different between the $120 and $80 Omakase. Differences like toro vs yellowtail, lobster vs. scallops, and kobe beef and foie gras vs. rock shrimp tempura (tasted like the Chinese mayo shrimp with walnuts, without the mayo and walnuts). Henry got a tuna pizza (needed more sauce), black miso cod (which he’s loved since he tried it at Nobu), sauteed foie gras (very yummy) and raw scallops.
Our reservation was at 10:15pm, we got there late, at 10:30pm and waited till close to 11pm for our table. The eaml didn’t end for us till around 1am. Our waiter seemed a little snooty and we were not offered the opportunity to check our coats. If you’re going to do valet parking, it was $14 for Friday night. We parked around the corner in front of a candy store. I do not suggest that again. When we came back out there was some liquid poured all over our car, probably some syrup or sugar mixture. It wasn’t on any other car, just ours.
