How to Order Morimoto Asia the Smart Way
Published July 24, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026
Here’s the one thing that decides whether Morimoto Asia is a great dinner or a forgettable one: don’t let everyone lock into their own big plate. This Disney Springs kitchen is pan-Asian and built for the table — sushi and sashimi, ramen and noodles, dim sum, and the signature carved-tableside Peking duck. Order across those categories, split everything, and you actually taste what this place does. Default to “one safe noodle bowl each” and you’ve paid signature-dining prices to eat like it’s a food court.
Order Like It’s a Smokehouse
The logic is the same one that works at every generous Disney World kitchen, and it’s the same reason you don’t order a burger at a barbecue joint: you came for the thing this place can’t be beat on. At Morimoto Asia that’s the raw bar, the dim sum, and the duck — not a familiar entrée you could get anywhere. So pick two or three of the dishes that are genuinely this kitchen’s specialty, get them to share, and let one person’s “I’d never order that” turn into the best bite of the night.
The shareable format is also your peace treaty. If you and your table have wildly different tastes — one adventurous, one cautious — spreading across categories means nobody’s stuck with a plate they regret. There’s enough breadth that everyone finds a couple of hits.
The Dishes That Earn Their Spot
- The Peking duck is the frequent recommendation for two, and it’s the reason to walk in. It’s carved tableside, it’s an event, and it’s exactly the kind of dish that doesn’t make sense to order solo — split it and it becomes the centerpiece.
- Sushi and sashimi are what this kitchen is known for. A tasting platter shared around the table is a smarter play than everyone ordering individual rolls — you cover more range for the same spend.
- Dim sum is made for grazing. Get a few, pass them around, let the table build the meal in courses instead of committing to one entrée each.
- Szechuan peppercorn shrimp is a specialty worth a spot in the lineup if you want a cooked dish with real character alongside the raw bar.
The filter: if it’s a signature — duck, raw bar, dim sum — it goes to the middle of the table. If it’s the one “safe” familiar plate, that’s the one to skip.
Grab a Window at Sunset
The dining room is a big, kinetic atrium with booths, bar stools, and seats right at the sushi prep bar. But if you’re booking ahead, ask for a window seat at sunset over the lake — the view genuinely amplifies the meal. The patio is a strong call too: well-lit, warmed by heat lamps and the evening air, with the music carrying out, so you don’t get that “forgotten on the patio” feeling some Disney Springs spots give you.
Want the Noodles Without the Wait? Hit the Counter
Here’s the move casual planners miss: the full-service restaurant gets all the attention, but the attached Street Food counter serves the kitchen’s noodle work without a table reservation. Go for the ramen — it’s the dish that counter is built to do. Lines balloon at the obvious dinner peak, so eat off-peak: a late lunch or an early-evening bowl before the Springs crowd swells. Because it’s a Disney Springs stop, you don’t burn a park day on it either way — pair it with a low-key shopping evening.
Time It Right, and Have a Backup
Advance Dining Reservations open 60 days before arrival at 6:00 AM Eastern in My Disney Experience. Morimoto Asia isn’t always the hardest table on property, but prime dinner slots still go, especially for larger parties. If you miss the time you want, don’t write off the night — cancellations happen constantly. SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch pings you the second a hard-to-get table frees up, then you grab it in My Disney Experience — no refreshing all day. Find it at supapark.com.
One timing note: this is not the meal to jam right before a packed park-closing sprint. It’s a sit-down, order-thoughtfully dinner, and it rewards a night when you’re not racing a clock.
Who Should Skip It
Morimoto Asia isn’t the pick if your group wants the cheapest Disney Springs dinner, a fast turn-and-burn meal, or a menu where every item feels familiar. The value here comes entirely from ordering across the table and splitting — not from treating it like an entrée-and-a-soda stop. If that’s what your night calls for, spend your money elsewhere.
The One Thing to Remember
Share widely. Get the duck, the raw bar, and the dim sum to the middle of the table, split them, and you’ll eat what this kitchen is actually built to do — instead of filling up on the one plate you could’ve ordered anywhere.
