A look at the Morimoto Asia lunch menu

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Wednesday October 14, 2015 11:00am · "Morimoto Asia"

Morimoto Asia in The Landing at Disney Springs opens for lunch service starting today, and we've got a look at the lunch menu.


Many of the dishes from the full dinner menu are available at lunch, but not all. So if you have your heart set on a certain item from the dinner menu, be sure to check it is available if you are planning to visit at lunch.

Lunch begins at 11am, with the restaurant remaining open until 2am daily.

Check out our in-depth review of Morimoto Asia.

A look at the Morimoto Asia lunch menu
Does anybody know if you can order from the regular menu when sitting at the liquor bar? Also, I know it just started, but how hard would it be to get a table on a Saturday afternoon? Reservation-required?

Thanks!

You can search for reservations here (http://www.opentable.com/morimoto-asia-reservations-lake-buena-vista) or through the restaurant's website here (https://www.patinagroup.com/restaurant.php?restaurants_id=158). Not sure if the dining menu is available at the bar, typically that's provided for patrons in my experience.

Please do make a reservation.
Did anyone else see Michael's segment with Morimoto on The Chew yesterday? He swung by the new restaurant. If you wanted to go before, you will REALLY want to go after watching it. Looks...so....good!

That segment is what inspired me to ask my question! I think I want to have my pre-half marathon meal there in November :)
If anyone is looking for a suggestion as far as a meal is concerned, try the Kung Pao Chicken. It was extraordinarily good. The dim sum was also really tasty as well.

I am glad to hear about this. I figured it would be tasty. Love dim sum and Kung pao.
I ate here on Friday night and it was delicious. The service was top notch as well. Highly recommended.
Photo update as of Wednesday, Oct 21. A view of the downstairs patio and quick service window for Morimoto Street Food, to open next year when the Disney Springs area opens. Note the roll up window partition at the end of this space. For now, a construction wall on the left side hides the area under construction.

From the outside, the Morimoto Street Food sign is already in place. The STK building is under construction in the background. Note the new street lamps installed in this area of Disney Spring.
Eating right now. I am very underwhelmed. The food is "OK" with a good dish here or there. The prices are way higher than they should be for the quality. That's generally a DTD thing... But thought I would mention it given the previous "good prices" commentary in this thread.

If you're in the Orlando area and want something that is way better, hit up SushiPop in Oviedo. It blows morimoto away in quality food offerings and pricing. It is a bit of a trek if you're at Disney though.

I'm sorry yours is a bad experience. This is the first bad review I have heard.

I know, same here. We were there not long after it opened. The location and interior decor is phenomenal. The dim sum and Kung pao chicken was excellent. The only issues I noticed was with regard to service. One of our servers was not familiar enough with the menu to answer our questions so he had to get someone else to help. One weird thing that we saw was when a glass was dropped near the table next to ours. I think 8 employees rushed over to clear the area and clean it up. I was waiting for a hazmat team to come in at one point.

Our first overall impression though was very positive.

Service was also a bit off. When chatting with an employee, they still don't know how to handle weekend crowds yet.

The pork bao was delish... Everything else was "meh": shumai, hamachi tacos, tuna pizza, spicy tuna roll and fried rice.

If we go back it would probably to try the sushi bar upstairs. Still I worry about it being horribly overpriced.
