Fodor's Expert Review Morimoto Las Vegas

When "Iron Chef" Masaharu Morimoto opened his restaurant in what he proudly called "the most famous city in the world," it marked his first foray into teppanyaki, sure to be popular with conventioneers. There's also sushi, of course, and some of his standbys: braised black cod with a ginger-soy reduction, and tuna pizza with anchovy aioli, olives, and jalapeños. The menu includes oysters with foie gras and uni, as well as ishi yaki chashu bop and ishi yaki buri bop—pork or yellowtail-rich dishes cooked at your table in a hot stone bowl. It's all served in an expansive, streamlined spot on MGM Resort's restaurant row. Morimoto After Dark is the place to go for small bites and cocktails with a DJ, from 10 pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
