Join Vegas with Shin as he dives into Morimoto at the MGM Grand for his 186th restaurant review on the Las Vegas Strip. With a stunning, modern interior accented by cherry blossoms and warm tones, Morimoto sets a luxurious vibe that blends Japanese elegance with Vegas flair. But of course, it’s the food that truly matters.
Shin samples a variety of appetizers, including the melt-in-your-mouth kakuni pork belly, spicy yet balanced tuna tacos, and a perfectly crisp soft shell crab roll. While the laksa noodle soup falls a bit short on flavor, the sticky pork ribs shine with sweet-savory complexity. Sushi lovers will appreciate the variety and quality of the offerings here.
For entrées, the highlight is the whole crispy branzino—lightly fried with a rich, spicy takana sauce. The lamb chops are flavorful, though the angry chicken misses the mark slightly due to dryness despite its bold spice. Overall, Morimoto delivers a high-end Japanese experience with some standout hits and a few minor misses.
