Morimoto Las Vegas Unveils Vibrant Redesign and Innovative Menu at MGM Grand

The iconic Japanese restaurant reopens with a Tokyo-inspired ambiance and fresh culinary offerings

Morimoto Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino has reopened its doors, showcasing a dynamic redesign and an array of new menu items.

After a temporary closure in early October for renovations, the restaurant now offers a dining experience that captures the energy of Tokyo's vibrant nightlife.

The sushi bar features backlit panels adorned with Japanese brushstrokes in magenta, vermillion, and electric violet.

The main dining area combines elements reminiscent of Tokyo's rain-slicked streets with charred wood, paying homage to traditional Yakisugi craftsmanship.

Lantern-lit tables provide a balance between the restaurant's high energy and a soothing, jovial atmosphere.

Chef Masaharu Morimoto expressed that the redesign "harmonizes the soul of Las Vegas and Tokyo's electric designs, buzzing streets, and our shared love for the art of food."

Highlights of the new menu include:

Land & Ocean Roll: A smoked sushi roll featuring wagyu beef, sweet shrimp, crab, and tobiko.

Chef's Combination Sushi: Utilizing Morimoto's "stained glass window" technique, this dish offers customizable rolls with a variety of fresh fish and ingredients.

Pork Sticky Ribs: Ribs prepared with sweet chili and hoisin sauce.

Lobster Bao Bun: A soft bao filled with lobster tail, served with spicy aioli.

Teppanyaki Bar: Iron grill preparations of meats, seafood, and vegetables, customized to order with options like yakisoba noodles and foie gras.

Dessert Bento Box: An assortment of mini desserts, including hazelnut tiramisu, strawberry cheesecake, coconut panna cotta, pistachio profiterole, and yuzu meringue tart.

The restaurant also introduces new cocktails such as the Emerald Dragon (Peach Soju shaken with Midori, yuzu juice, lime juice, and yuzu white peach soda), the Morimoto Kofu Old Fashioned (Iwai Japanese whisky combined with Kuro Aato and Japanese brown sugar), That's The Tea (Haku vodka stirred with ceremonial matcha, lemon juice, and mint), and Hibis-Kiss (Flecha Azul reposado mixed with yuzu juice, hibiscus, and orange liqueur).

Morimoto Las Vegas is open from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

The restaurant is located in The District at MGM Grand.
