Fodor's Expert Review Morimoto
$$$$
Center City
Japanese
Stunning (and expensive) dishes created by celebrity chef Masaharu Morimoto (of the Food Network's Iron Chef) are served in an elegant, slightly futuristic setting. White plastic tables and benches glow beneath multicolored lights; the ceiling is undulating bamboo. Omakase (tasting menus), which run $125 to $200, are worth the expense, as is the sushi, sliced with skill and care by Morimoto’s best chefs. Creative à la carte dishes include toro (tuna belly) tartare with caviar and wasabi; and tempura with Gorgonzola sauce. Reservations are recommended.
