ok and tasty actually by airport standards but a bit expensive, good for small bites or light meal with glass of wine，sake or beer. Looking 4 a hefty and big meal forget about it，not intended 4 that！
Anita DeeOctober 17, 2014
The breakfast offerings are pretty decent. The bacon, egg and cheese was good and filling. However $8 is a bit high but still this is an airport everything is over priced. FYI the bacon is very good.
Joe LaszloMarch 29, 2013
Sadly the once-trusted name Morimoto is now in no way a promise of interesting or delicious food. Do not be lured in!
Dustin JacobsenAugust 15, 2013
There's a good chance you can catch free WiFi. Sit at the high tables & enjoy food, beverage and people watching while you work.
Bill AtkinsonMay 25, 2015
The Kushiyaki #Chicken #salad is a good & #health option. Fast service. Perfect if near gate 55+
Chung-yee NgoJanuary 6, 2016
I had the spicy pork ramen. I thought it was very flavorful without bring greasy or too salty. Not bad at all for airport ramen.
Shally SteckerlAugust 30, 2013
Get the beef skewers, pretty darn good for airport food, you may even forget you're in a sterile terminal for a few minutes
Benjamin JacksonSeptember 18, 2013
Surprisingly - good for breakfast! The omelet with smoked cheese is delicious, despite the potatoes being a bit over-salted.
Tiffany LangstonMarch 26, 2016
Decent for airport food. Price is a little on the high side. Ramen, yakitori, and kushi yaki are popular picks.
Fred WilsonMarch 13, 2014
Pretty nice curried shrimp skewers with rice and fresh veggies. Good for airport food
Patti WinterJuly 30, 2013
Well worth the little bit extra grilled combo shrimp and chicken with brown rice
Tom KellyApril 25, 2013
Great spot. Loved the Yakitori sauce. Reasonably priced. Ask for brown rice.
Doug BruhnkeAugust 5, 2014
The curried chicken kushiage with an added streak of sriracha was good, but $15 is overpriced. Chicken was tough but curry sauce was tasty. At least the wifi is free (thanks to Delta).
Tim FabiniakDecember 14, 2012
Don't read the other comments and get clever: the pork is overcooked too. Also, the "vegetables" you get are a joke. This is a perfectly-executed tourist trap serving airplane food before you board.
Dennis SchotmeijerJune 3, 2014
I like the food here. Especially the combo chicken and shrimps with teiyaki sauce. Not overpriced for airportfood.
Bill AtkinsonMay 25, 2015
Chicken Kushiyaki salad is good & health option.
Rae MoSeptember 18, 2012
A bit plain, relies heavily on the sauce from the skewers for flavour as the rice and veggies are flavourless
Kate FurmanFebruary 13, 2015
The ramen is pretty good to satisfy a layover craving.
Byron WilkesJanuary 17, 2016
Pretty good, but still airport food so it's not blow-your-mind tasty.
dan mileshSeptember 8, 2012
Make sure you get the Panko fried items and avoid the curry.... Salad is amazing
Reid FishlerMarch 8, 2014
Overcooked meats, some boxes get too much sauce and some none, and thus the box leaks before you leave the stall. Really needs to be closed and rethoughtout.
Dan HSeptember 17, 2019
All the reviews for places around here were bad, but unfortunately they meant it here - the food came out cold, sent it back, cold again. It seems to be all microwaved, so just not for long enough.
Moe DexlerFebruary 22, 2017
This place is great. They even have breakfast options.
DTP 1908July 27, 2013
The best thing about this place is the bar. Under impressed with the menu and food.
EaterFebruary 7, 2013
Among the newest offerings at LAX is an actual restaurant conceived by Iron Chef Morimoto. This yakitori stand offers grilled beef, chicken, and seafood kabobs, with miso soup, rice bowls and mochi.
Rachel CrockettMarch 12, 2016
Tonkasu was really good with an egg on top.
Samantha BJuly 16, 2014
I should have read the other tips before eating here. The "vegetables" were a joke. Undercooked onions and carrots. That's all.
RickOctober 26, 2012
If you want to throw a little bit of money away this is the place. No value for the $$
ruwanDecember 8, 2013
Not value 4 money, food quality was not up to the expectation. Ordered chicken skewers it came with very small chicken pieces, plain rice and unevely cut pieces of vegetables which looked unappetizing
RobNovember 23, 2013
Don't expect alot for your money here. Smallish sizes, and I wasn't particularly impressed with the good. Shame, because it could be a good concept.
Stephen UrquidiMarch 8, 2013
It is over priced but you are in an airport. Servers are nice and attentive.
Corey O'NealOctober 5, 2012
Been here 10+ times
Great, simple and usually quick. Perfect business traveler meal.
DariaMay 3, 2014
Japanese fastfood the best ever!:)
Audra LarsonApril 23, 2014
Definitely a place I would not come back to. We ordered breakfast before our flight, very small portions for the money and our bread with the breakfast was cold.
Molly MollieJune 18, 2013
The service was terrible. It took us over ten minutes to order. We were the only ones in line and were seven employees literally just standing around. The food wasn't good either. Not worth it.
Kristen PorterJune 24, 2013
Other tips are true... Morimoto would be very sad to see this
Alex KremerSeptember 4, 2015
Overpriced crap. 4 shrimp with some pure-corn syrup "teriyaki" sauce drenched on to hide the poor quality for $16? What an embarrassment.
Phil NomAugust 22, 2013
Stay away from those chicken meatballs that's more brittle than dust...
Eric CAugust 16, 2015
All the ramen and rice bowl tasted like microwave food. And they force 15% gratuity if spend $40 or more.
swashOctober 6, 2012
Looks way more promising than it is. Coldish food. Chicken & beef both chewy. Seriously McD it instead.
Starla CosmicOctober 16, 2012
Bar section sucks go to Malibu AL's if your looking to get a drink...better $$ and service!
Ryan WarrenderJuly 27, 2016
Skip this place. It should not have morimoto associated with it.
Sam LopezFebruary 4, 2015
Nothing good about this place. Spent $35 on a bowl of ramen & 2 beers. Wish I had read reviews prior!
Daniel EizansDecember 1, 2012
Very expensive beer... Overcooked beef and chicken and very spendy drinks. Should have heeded other tips.
Lisa RodriguezMay 16, 2013
Literally no cooking here...it's all reheated and tasteless...go spend your $20 for lunch at Lemonade next door instead
Dan GurskaJanuary 30, 2013
Eleven dollar beers. Hmm...I feel like someone has penetrated me, and not in a good way.
Mathieu HannouzDecember 9, 2013
Have a Japanese beer!
Jon B.March 5, 2013
The Yakitori sauce was just disgusting! It was totally inedible, and the fact they did not have any Sriracha added insult to injury. Stay far away!
eldred magnerMay 19, 2013
No offense but stay away from this place. $12+ for cold food and $10.25 for 12 oz ashai. Not worth it go to McDonalds I hate to say
Luc SavJuly 9, 2013
The meat is comparable to something you get on the street. Not good at all.
