    Scallop hibachi
    Julie M.

    Loved this. Walked in for spur of the moment dinner. They seated us quickly with a few other couples and we had drinks, soup and salad quickly. Our grill master was professional and served us up delicious food in no time. I LOVED the veggies, scallops and sprouts. We got to hear them sing happy birthday, they put on a cute show. Nice, low key hibachi. Delicious food.

    I'm not sure why this place has some bad reviews, because I had a fun hibachi lunch here and I would go back. We went there on a Friday for lunch and they were not busy. We were seated at hibachi table with no wait. The chef was very funny and friendly and was exactly what you would expect from a hibachi chef. Jokes and tricks! I had chicken teriyaki and fried rice and veggies that came with it was generous amount and very tasty. 4 stars just because it felt like teriyaki was swimming in the sauce and the whole thing became very salty. Other than that it was great value and fun.

    Vodka, sake, and wine cocktail

    This place was fun! It's always cool visiting a place like this, where you can see your food being cooked and the chef does tricks with it (I'm a sucker for an onion volcano). Our chef was amazing and funny, and the food tasted excellent and fresh! I will say that portions are pretty big, but don't take your food home to reheat. My spouse at his today and actually got sick off of it about 20 min later. Service was pretty bad, but I believe that is because I only saw one server in the building who is grabbing everyone's drinks, salads, and soups.. it took him 20 minutes just to greet us, and my drink personally took almost a half hour to come out after that, and I had to ask about it twice (it was just vodka, sake, and wine). You could tell that he was very overwhelmed, and I really don't think its fair for him to be the only one on the floor on a Friday night. Maybe try this place on a week day and see what you think!

    We came here Saturday morning around 11:30 before a movie. We weren't surprised the hostess stand was empty since they just opened at 11:00. We only waited a few minutes before being seated at a Hibachi table with another couple. The older gentleman who seated us took and delivered our drink order and arrived quickly. He was filling in until our server arrived which she did minutes later. He came back out to take our orders promptly. We order the Gyoza (fried dumplings) as an appetizer. The dumplings were very overcooked when they arrived. I was going to send them back but we were starving and short on time. Just moments after the dumplings arrived the onion soup and salad appeared. The onion soup was lukewarm and the ginger salad was literally lettuce only. Not even shredded carrots and the ginger dressing wasn't very flavorful. Edible but missing the mark. My husband ordered the hibachi steak with fried rice and I had the hibachi spicy chicken (sriracha). The Chef put on a wonderful show while preparing our meals. Both of the meats were prepared as requested, the onions and zucchini were tender as well as the fried rice. The dipping sauce served with our meal was bland and disappointing though. Our lady server never reappeared to refill any of the beverages at our table. My husband finally asked the Chef for a drink refill which he promptly notified the server. She again didn't return until we were through and waiting 10 minutes for our checks. The other couple were just as restless as we were. The food was good, the show was fun, the Chef was extremely personable but those minor misses put a damper on things. I would return if others wanted to visit but I probably would not initiate.

    Came here for lunch with a friend and I was pleasantly surprised! The minute we walked in we were…read morewarmly greeted by the host. She quickly took us over to our seats and brought water. The space inside is quite spacious and I really loved that sushi was made at the counter right in front of us! We quickly scanned the menu and decided on the sushi lunch special. 2 maki rolls and a soup. I ordered a spicy salmon roll and the firecracker roll. For the soup we received a miso soup. The miso soup was perfectly balanced and tasted so fresh! Both sushi rolls were also very good and the fish tasted so fresh as well!! I will definitely be back to try more items off of the menu!

    Bummer not sure why this didn't save from last year... Mori is top notch best place in Indy! I love…read morehow welcoming they are every time we go and they truly are all so kind and genuine! Nothing beats this place and the vibe or staff... I absolutely hands down love this place. My better half and I never go anywhere else. We've been busy lately working and have a garden so haven't been in much but we definitely haven't gone anywhere else because Mori is our only place for sushi. These pictures are from Oct, my apologies again not sure why it didn't save. They made us feel extra special when it was our anniversary and when my better half lost his parents last year they even had a nice gift for us when we got back in town. They are the best!
