Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs is now officially open and Iron Chef Morimoto joined in the grand opening last night with Disney leaders and the big cheese himself, Mickey Mouse.

The latest of the new additions to Disney Springs, Morimoto Asia will be opening for dinner from September 30 2015, with lunch and a weekend brunch offering to be added later in the year.

In early 2016, the restaurant will also be adding a quick service offering on the lower terrace to compliment its regular table service menu.

Check out the video for a look at the opening and a tour through the restaurant. See the full menu.

We'll have a full review of Morimoto Asia soon.

There's a comment on Morimoto Asia's facebook page that says "No Omakase at this time". That makes it sound like they are planning on rolling it out in the future. It seems like they are trying to roll things out slowly to make sure they don't fall flat on their face. i.e. not offering lunch or brunch to start with, but it will be available in the near future.
I need that chef's coat. Is that a happi?
I love the video. Chef seems so sincere and exciting. Restaurant looks exquisite. Food is tempting. Can't wait to visit.

Same here. Also, love that they had Matsuriza there, just a little recognition of existing Japanese culture present in the parks.
So what's the news on ADRs for Morimoto? I'm going down for the Wine and Dine and can't seem to get anything to come up. It's also listed on OpenTable but I'm not getting any hits.

What do you mean by "not getting any hits?" I was able to reserve a table for 2 Thursday October 15th at 6:45 on Open Table.

Inventory is being released in phases, so keep checking.
There was nothing on open table today for the 30th, bigwigs took all the seats with the Grand opening.
Here's a great link with the full menu (decent prices I think) and tons of photos

So no need for us to have worried. Looks like there is a ton of sushi options as well as the chef's choice. Woo hoo!

I'm still all about the Peking Duck though. That's a rarity for me and it's normally so delicious. I bet they do a great job of it.

The only thing I don't like about the Peking Duck is that I have to wait until December to try it. Been staring at that photo all day!

So maybe I'm being stupid, but what is the price difference on the platters and sushi combos? One person versus two? Lunch versus dinner?
↩ replying to AC21075
Size. I got the $45 Chef's combo last night and it was 9 pieces of Sushi along with a 6 piece roll.

How was the sushi?
