Morimoto Asia brings a polished, modern Asian dining experience to Disney Springs with a menu that pulls inspiration from several cuisines across Asia. Created around the culinary style of Chef Masaharu Morimoto, the restaurant offers everything from sushi and dim sum

to noodles, rice dishes, seafood, meats, and shareable plates. The variety makes it one of the easier upscale restaurants to recommend to groups because everyone can approach the meal a little differently.


🍴 Experience

Dining at Morimoto Asia can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. You can stop in for sushi, noodles, or a quick lunch, or turn dinner into a longer experience by ordering several appetizers, shared plates, entrées, cocktails, and dessert. Sharing works particularly well here because it gives the table a chance to try different flavors and styles of food rather than sticking with just one dish. The restaurant feels special enough for a date night or celebration while remaining comfortable for families and casual Disney Springs visitors.

✨ Atmosphere

Morimoto Asia has one of the most impressive dining rooms at Disney Springs. The soaring ceilings, dramatic architectural details, modern design, and large open spaces immediately give it a more upscale feel than many nearby restaurants. The room is visually striking without feeling stuffy, and there is usually plenty of energy from the dining room and bar. In the evening, the combination of lighting, design, and activity makes the restaurant feel like part of a bigger night out rather than simply a place to stop for dinner.


🍔 Food

The food menu covers a wide range of Asian-inspired dishes, including sushi, sashimi, dim sum, noodles, fried rice, vegetables, seafood, and larger meat entrées. This variety makes it easy for both adventurous eaters and guests who prefer something familiar to find a direction they are comfortable with. Sharing several dishes is one of the best ways to experience the restaurant because you can combine lighter items like sushi or dim sum with heartier noodle, rice, or meat dishes. The broad menu also makes Morimoto Asia a strong choice when everyone in your group wants something different.


🍹 Drinks

The drink selection includes cocktails, sake, beer, wine, spirits, and nonalcoholic beverages. Sake is an obvious pairing with many of the dishes and can be a fun option for guests who want to explore something beyond a standard cocktail or glass of wine. The cocktail menu gives the bar a lively feel, while nonalcoholic choices make it just as easy for families to enjoy the restaurant. Drinks can easily become part of the overall experience if you are planning a slower dinner.


🌾 Allergies

Disney is very conscientious about food allergies and dietary needs, and many restaurants have procedures in place to help guests with common food allergies and dietary restrictions. Depending on the location, allergy-friendly menus, ingredient information, or assistance from a chef or manager may be available. Menu items, ingredients, and preparation methods can change, so guests with food allergies should discuss their specific needs with the restaurant team before ordering.


💰 Price

$ ($1–$20) per person

$$ ($21–$50) per person

$$$ ($51–$75) per person

$$$$ ($76+) per person


Price Tier: $$$

Morimoto Asia can vary quite a bit in price depending on how you order. A simpler noodle, rice, or lunch-style meal may stay closer to the lower end, while sushi, several shared plates, specialty entrées, cocktails, and dessert can move the meal comfortably into the $$$ category. Groups that like to share can control the total a little more easily while still trying a wide variety of dishes.


💡 Tips
