  Morimoto at the Andaz was hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was absolutely next level — fresh, creative, perfectly prepared, and honestly some of the best food on the planet. A huge shoutout to Taj, the bartender at the Andaz, who made the experience even better with amazing service, great energy, and true hospitality from start to finish. He made us feel completely taken care of. And a special thank you to Chef Andy for putting together a last-minute special that completely blew us away. You can tell there is real passion and talent behind every dish. Incredible food, incredible service, and an unforgettable experience. Morimoto at the Andaz is an absolute must.

  Had a reservation and showed up early just see that they are closed. No warning. No message. No reservation cancellation. Just showed up with my large group in the rain to a sign on the door. Horrible

  We were staying at the hotel here and ducked in for a quick lunch during rain storm. They were super busy as it was lunch and raining. Service and food were swift and wonderful. Highly recommend

  We recently dined at Morimoto Asia Waikiki, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone, elegant, upscale, and refined without feeling stiff. The lighting was warm, the décor modern and polished, and almost everyone was dressed in elegant attire, which made perfect sense for such a fancy dining experience. It felt like the kind of place where you naturally want to dress up and enjoy a special night out. The service was exceptional. The waiters were so nice, attentive, and professional throughout the entire evening. They explained dishes clearly, checked in at the perfect times without being intrusive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Their level of professionalism really elevated the whole experience. Now for the food, absolutely delicious. We started with the sticky ribs, which were tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. They had that balance of savory and slightly sweet that makes you want to savor every bite. The house fried rice was comforting but elevated, rich in flavor and beautifully cooked. The whole duck was a standout. The presentation alone was impressive, and the meat was perfectly cooked, crispy skin with juicy, flavorful meat inside. The miso black cod was buttery and delicate, practically melting in your mouth, with that signature umami depth that makes it unforgettable. We also ordered the 16oz rib-eye steak, and it was cooked beautifully, tender, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Even with so many dishes, everything felt intentional and well-executed. To finish, we had the dessert that steals the show, the chocolate-covered ice cream sphere where they pour fire over the ball of chocolate. Watching the flames melt through the chocolate shell was such a dramatic and fun experience. Once cracked open, the ice cream inside was smooth and perfectly balanced, a sweet and exciting way to end the meal. Our total tab came out to around $380, which reflects the premium quality of the food, the presentation, the outstanding service, and the overall fine dining experience. It’s definitely a splurge, but for a special occasion or a nice night out in Waikiki, it’s worth it. Overall, Morimoto Asia Waikiki delivered incredible food, beautiful presentation, professional and kind service, and a pleasant upscale environment. We left full, impressed, and already talking about what we’d order next time.
