Momosan Foxwoods by Morimoto — Restaurant in Ledyard

I don't want to be mean but here is MY TRUTH from visiting the restaurant on 6/29/2025.

We waited for months for this restaurant to open because we were so excited to try it with it being an "Iron Chef's" restaurant.

First of all, when the waitress came to our table, the first thing she said was: "We are out of a lot of things, so I need to tell you what we don't have before you order" (She was VERY nice and helpful).

We ordered 7 items.

Sake - Maybe 3-4 oz. $18. Barely, barely warm. Took 15+ minutes to get it as they didn't have any that was already hot. Seriously? Saki in a top rated Japanese restaurant and they have no hot Saki???

Dumplings appetizer - Served with no dipping sauce, they told us to use soy sauce. Seriously? Who serves dumplings with NO dipping sauce???

Gyoza appetizer - Was served "unintentionally" cold. Seriously? Cold???

Ribs appetizer - Only 2 of them for like $14 - Excellent taste - Very fatty and very little meat.

Karaage appetizer - Japanese Fried chicken - Skin on and Fatty thighs - Couldn't eat.

Pepsi - That's a hard one to mess up.

White rice - That's hard to mess up too.

Out waitress apologized profusely.

The PETTY managers removed everything from the bill except for the Pepsi and white rice.

I have owned businesses for over 50 years and what I have learned is that it's not IF you have a problem with a customer, because ALL businesses do, but it's about HOW you fix the problems when they arise, and the way TWO managers at this restaurant were so petty that they charged us for a Pepsi and white rice after messing up EVERYTHING else, that was just plain...

My family and I came here for my brothers birthday party last weekend and was amazing!!!!! Not expecting much from a casino restaurant; average food, mediocre service and high prices, I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed. Everything was perfect from the food to the service. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to eating but my brother, a big sushi lover has been wanting to come here since they opened. Everything definitely exceeded my expectations. Our food came out very quick for a Sunday evening and everything was hot and just how we ordered. On top of great food the service was equally amazing and a big reason I will return. Our server Jessy was very friendly and personable and even asked me if I was allergic to anything which is very important and impressive as I do have an allergy. She recommended the Japanese style fried chicken and pork gyoza which definitely didn’t disappoint. Only downside is I wish the tables were a little further apart from each other but it’s expected at a casino environment. The chef I think his name was Joe even stopped by the table and asked how everything was which was very nice surprise. That definitely doesn’t happen to often especially on a busy Sunday night. Overall a great night and definitely recommend you try...

I was a bit skeptical at first after seeing so many negative reviews, but I still wanted to try it out for myself. And wow, I'm so glad I did! We went when it wasn't crowded and got seated right away. I ordered the Spicy Dandan Noodles and the Peking Duck. Both dishes came out in under ten minutes! The flavors were fantastic. The noodles might be a tad too firm for some people's liking, but I personally loved the texture. The duck was absolutely delicious and authentic. Here's a pro tip:Before you assemble your duck wrap, warm the pancake on that sizzling stone slab first – it makes it nice and puffy. You can even give the duck a quick reheat too. Trust me on this! Then, just pile on the fixings and sauce, wrap it all up, and you've got yourself an incredibly tasty duck wrap! Shoutout to our server too – super friendly and attentive, always refilling our water glasses before they were even half empty. The ambiance was really comfortable as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Don't let the bad reviews scare you off!Ultimately, taste in food is so personal – what one person loves, another might not.So if you get the chance, definitely give it a shot and go see...
