Downtown Disney is getting a huge makeover as it is transformed into Disney Springs, and one of the biggest additions is the pan-Asian restaurant known as Morimoto Asia. Well, Guests have been waiting and now we have an opening date revealed.
The Orlando Business Journal has revealed that the opening date for Morimoto Asia will be Sept. 30, 2015.
This is going to be a huge addition to Disney Springs and one that so many people are looking forward to. Here is some info from the news release on Morimoto Asia:
The restaurant’s main entrance features a three-story glass corner, revealing the dramatic interior design including a multi-level bar and spiraling chandelier made of illuminated glass bottles. The sculptural bar at over 270 feet in length is one of the largest in the world, as it leaps through the soaring 36-foot-tall space to connect the grand dining room on the ground floor with the upper level, wrapping around the grand stairway. Custom glass-beaded chandeliers evoke the ocean delicacies of Chef Morimoto’s cuisine, and are reflected in antique mirrors, interspersed with glass mosaic artworks based on ancient Japanese prints. Chef Morimoto’s exclusive sushi bar is sculpted from hundreds of pieces of hand-selected ash wood, backed with a wall of hammered copper. Morimoto Asia’s two-story outdoor terrace provides patio seating with sweeping views of Disney Springs.”
The restaurant will serve all types of pan-Asian cuisine and classics, as well as a 14-seat sushi bar and Asian beverages and beers like Morimoto’s signature Rogue Ales.
Reservations are not yet open for Morimoto Asia, but keep an eye on the official page from Disney as they likely will soon become available.
