Morimoto Asia construction is continuing in The Landing district of Disney Springs, with the building now being mostly enclosed with its glass facades.

The pan-Asian restaurant is expected to open in September 2015, a little later than originally expected, with recruitment currently under-way to staff the restaurant.

I'm going down this August so I'll be off a month from the opening. But I can't wait for this place to open!!!!!
Just read in the Orlando Weekly that it is supposed to open in September.

You need to keep on top of WDWMAGIC news ;)- We mentioned September a few days ago :)

I don't think I will make it to DTD for my Sept trip. If reviews are good, I will add this place to my Dec trip.

The details! :geek:

Amazing.
Can't wait to see a menu. Especially the 'street' food.
Photo update as of Thursday, Aug 6. Note the yellow walls are being covered by corrugated metal sheets. Windows on left of building were yellow a few days ago in WDWMagic's news posting.

I love that glass corner! Great juxtaposition of old vs. new!
The sign is now up
I'm looking forward to all the new additions at Disney Springs.
But this restaurant especially.
Photo update as of Sunday, Aug 23. Morimoto Asia's two-story glass corner now has a large hanging glass light fixture. Painting the backside of the building (gray to match the corrugated sheet metal) has been ongoing all week.
Are these LED's?
no it is rigid foam insulation panels... the corrugated steel will go on top of it. that steel will get hot, and they dont want bleedthrough, there is enough A/C loss in that glass to begin with

Yes. Those are LED's. They will eventually be covered with corrugated steel. The steel will have tiny cutouts that will be backlit by the LED's.
