About Morimoto Asia
Morimoto Asia opened in 2015 at Disney Springs. It sits in the reconstructed building that once held Mannequins nightclub at Pleasure Island.
The restaurant’s 36-foot tall, two-story layout includes lounges, private dining spaces, and a glass-encased kitchen that gives guests a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the culinary action.
This pan-Asian dining destination at Walt Disney World offers a mouth-watering menu featuring traditional items such as Peking duck carving and dim sum, along with noodle dishes, bao, and more.
Reservations are a must, and can be made at MorimotoAsia.com.
