Morimoto South Beach launches $65 'Greatest Hits' menu

Although the restaurant itself is barely out of fetal stages, Morimoto South Beach has a pedigree unlike most and to highlight it, the restaurant has introduced its first ever Greatest Hits Menu featuring some of Iron Chef Morimoto’s most famous dishes. The menu is available from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will feature four courses—rock shrimp tempura, hamachi tacos, tuna pizza, Angry Chicken and braised black cod as well as a chef’s choice sushi combo and dessert including mango pudding and Key Lime Pie. The menu is $65 per person or, if you prefer, you can order your faves from that menu at special a la carte prices listed below.
