Morimoto is one of Dubai’s premiere Japanese restaurants, headed up by Chef Masaharu Morimoto who is best known for being a TV personality on both the Japanese and American versions or Iron Chef, but who initially found fame thanks to his cooking prowess. Now the proud owner of 16 international restaurants, Chef Masaharu Morimoto has brought his signature modern style to Dubai in this expansive space.
Menu items are a seamless blend of Western and Japanese techniques and ingredients, ensuring they appeal to the international clientele of Dubai. Sashimi is the chefs’ specialty, with salmon, tuna and whitefish all on offer for discerning diners. Elongate your meal by indulging in a plate from each section, with salad up next. Choose a salmon poke with avocado and yuzu dressing, or go for mixed greens with salty shaved bonito flakes. A visit to a Japanese restaurant wouldn’t be complete without a cleansing bowl of miso soup, but Morimoto’s version takes things up a level - with white miso holding delicate clams. Entrees are made up of both seafood and meat, with a seafood toban maki being heralded as one of the most luxurious listings - lobster, king crab, mussels, clams and scallops are all presented in a spicy red miso sake broth for ultimate indulgence. Steaks, sides and sushi complete the lineup for a meal you won’t forget in a hurry.
The venue interiors are built around striking Japanese minimalism. Wooden screens partition sections of the wider space while modern wooden tables and chairs are adorned with just a few key items to keep the look and feel of the restaurant light and airy. To complement the indoor space there is also a luxurious roof terrace which features lounge seating and striking views of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
