2023: Philadelphia Voted Morimoto Best Upscale Restaurant!
Morimoto
723 Chestnut Street
(215) 413-9070 – morimotorestaurant.com
Masaharu Morimoto’s flagship restaurant feels like the best of both Japanese tradition and Western cuisine. The restaurant itself feels like a breath of fresh air, with heavy Japanese influence and a real sense of class and beauty that is only further enhanced by the food. Masaharu opened his first restaurant in Philadelphia 21 years ago and that experience shines through at every turn. The Hot Stone Wagyu might be the perfect example of just how exquisite everything feels. It’s an experience everyone should enjoy and one that opens your eyes to a whole new world of food, flavors, and passion.
