An Iron Chef Experience
Yes, I watch too many episodes of Iron Chef and yes, my husband has a celebrity crush on Morimoto. When we found ourselves with a few hours to spare in downtown Philadelphia, we made a beeline to Morimoto's self-named restaurant in order to feast on sushi and cooked seafood dishes.
Arriving right as the restaurant opened for lunch, we found ourselves the only customers. The restaurant has a funky, modern design -- it looks cool at first but gets old quickly. There's an unmovable lightpiece in the middle of your table that always seems to be in the way, making sharing plates difficult and annoying. Additionally, once the restaurant started filling up with other guests, it got noisy. If it's loud in the middle of the day, it must be ridiculous on a Saturday night.
