Wasabi by Morimoto

I can assure you that this place serves authentic and the BEST Sushis in Mumbai for sure. Just loved each of them. Plus the view surely looks amazing. Wonderful service Too.

One of the best Japanese restaurants in town although a little overpriced. Its a must try but only a once try kind of a restaurant. Except the rock shrimp tempura which wasn't that great in terms of taste none of the dishes justify their price when it comes to the portion or the lack of it. The spicy angel shrimp sushi which is their take on prawn tempura sushi with a different sauce which came recommended by the server is a must try but the portion is a little underwhelming. The king crab robatayaki was good but neither the the taste nor the portion justify the price. The dessert which again came recommended by the server was the highlight of the night. I would recommend going to the restaurant even if its just to try the dessert.

First, yes it is expensive. Second, service is very good, attentive and knowledgeable. We liked most of the dishes except the salmon sushi which was just ok. The Yurine mousse was divine. A great experience.

My first real introduction to Japanese food. I am so glad we came here instead of going to my favourite Italian restaurant... We had sushi and a sort of white asparagus (you can tell I am a total newbie) with a really delicious gravy. A salad that the chef had made for the president of the US (I added mushrooms and it tasted Divine)... Am sure the president didn't get mushrooms with his salad. They surprised us with a totally decadent rich dark chocolate cake with hints of raspberry in it. It was my birthday and this was a brilliant lunch. We sat by the window and we should have had a view of the sea... But the building was undergoing construction so that was obscured. The music was horrible and they did shut it off for a few minutes when we requested... But put it back on... That was the only thing that spoilt a lovely afternoon out... But the food was so good, I couldn't give them a 4 star rating. It has to be a full 5! Am I coming back here? Yes. Most definitely!

Fantastic japanese cuisine with service to back it up. The chefs are well trained and masters at what they do as is evident by the presentation and detail. Fresh wasabi is quite rare at a Japanese restaurant but it’s served here fresh at your table side, ground on shark skin as is traditional. I would stay away from saucy dishes and just focus on the fish and rice and never be dissapointed here.

After reading many good reviews and recommendations, we came to Wasabi with very high expectations, but the whole dinning experience was very disappointing, I suggest if you are Asian or foodie who has been to other countries and tried Japanese food, don't waste your money here. We ordered 2 non-veg omasake, 2 soft beverages, 1 appetizer and 1 sushi, combination of omasake was a tragedy— heavy appetizers, everything was dipped in strong sauce, mayonnaise and Jalapeños on top, after thick starters they served light flavor nigiri sushi— your palate are already tired at this time, the mushroom rice and dessert are ok, but can't smooth our bad feeling, it’s the fusion Japanese cuisine that caters to foreigner taste, the whole dinner cost around INR 25,000, you will definitely have better options in Mumbai, especially Mumbai has bunch of fresh seafood can choose. Maybe because Wasabi is located in Taj Palace thus it’s so overpriced, but even more disappointed to have food of this quality under this shiny brand. And one more thing to note, you can’t even see gate way of India in the night, there’s only dark outside, they don't maintain the sights like others around the world.

Waiter came to table with an actual wasabi root, grated it on sharkskin at our table and landed some freshly grated wasabi paste on our plate (and it was potent af) This is peak Japanese food possible in India. Delighted to find sensible prices of wines on the Wasabi by Morimoto menu at Wasabi by Morimoto. I believe they have recently been rationalised, in keeping with the popularity of wine at the hotel and this restaurant, in particular. Enjoying the Henri Bou…

When Iron Chef and Nobu star Masaharu Morimoto announced he was opening a restaurant at the grand Taj Mahal Palace hotel in 2004, it was seen as a high-stakes gamble. The restaurant is minimally but expensively decorated, and no one was sure whether locals cared enough for Japanese food to justify the sky-high bills. Yet Morimoto's deft hand and exquisite ingredients turned skeptics into fans, and Wasabi became a see-and-be-seen place to eat. Some of the dishes have subtle American influences, but it's mostly traditional Japanese fare; standouts include dishes like the flounder carpaccio, lightly dressed with sesame and lemon, and the marbled strips of seared teriyaki Kobe steak. The latter, we're told, is most popular with visiting Indian businessmen who are militant vegetarians at home.
