Have not yet had the pleasure of eating here for dinner, but lunch at Morita is not just delicious, but great value, with many options around $10. In addition to being well presented and tasty, I like the fact that these meals are always balanced with a portion of salad. Highly recommended!

It is a strange location for a restaurant – but when the food is this good, does it really matter?
We went on Valentine’s day (repeat visit) because the food experience is so fantastic that it makes it special, and we wanted a long romantic dinner. We got that and again, the food was exquisite. For me, it’s the best I’ve had in NZ…and when I think back to when I ate at Tetsuya in Sydney – I actually prefer the degustation menu at Morita. Every mouthful was heavenly and I have wonderful memories of both nights (so far) we’ve been there.

We went for a birthday dinner and initially I thought it was a rather sophisticated stuffy affair by the decor, however the service was hilarious and fun and very engaging. The wait team had us laughing evry time they visited and the good thing was they didn’t visit ever 2 seconds, just enough to ensure we were served and looked after.

French and Japanese fusion… WTF??? Yeah well that was what I thought til I tried the dishes… A+ for amazing.

While it was possibly a little slow towards the end, we were talking and enjoying a celebration so we didn’t care as the discussion flowed and the experience was a culinary delight and full of suprises.

I was certainly a good experience and I highly reccommend the service, the flavours and overall experience.

We enjoyed the well presented delicious food and also the informative chat very much with the floor staff, young chef as well as the chef-owner.
The eight course dinner was similar to that of a love letter (as the chef-owner told us himself), which comes from the heart of the chefs when they make our meals for us. Each course is really an art form.
We recommend this restaurant for people who are in the mood for enjoying fine dining for the night.
They are still on the way to change the decor to their best style so looking forward to see the finish.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed.
First of all, the decor is far too depressed – everything black. Low ceiling with no window, black wall has no a single painting just a mirror hanging on the end of the black wall. I felt this place is for someone to have his last meal before execution. Very sad atmosphere.
8-course came with very small portion and extremely long timing, but taste good.
Service is good however we don’t like the way the waiter push us to do 8-course set menu. After all we just want to have diner which supposed to finish in an hour, we don’t want to waste 3 hour there particularly when environment is bad.
So pricey unless you go with the time consuming set menu.
Excellent chef but cannot make this restaurant successful.
