Morimoto Asia’s Suntory Morimoto Luau Returns April 19th to Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. Last year was our first experience at Morimoto’s in Disney Springs, and the Luau was probobly the best way to be introduced the all the fine foods they have to offer. The Morimoto baby ribs, hoisin chili, Spam musubi teriyaki sauce, and Mini loco moco, mushroom gravy were all stand outs that are returning this May 19th, 2024 to Morimoto Asia.

The spirit of Aloha is ever present at Morimoto all year, but during Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and especially at the Luau it stands out as special. I lived on Maui for a few years and can attest to how authentic and acurate the flavors are. This is a do not miss event!

On Sunday, May 19, Morimoto Asia is bringing back its annual Suntory Morimoto Luau, in partnership with Suntory, featuring a traditional Hawaiian-inspired feast and live entertainment. Paying homage to Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the fabulous event includes hula dancers, food stations including a poki and sushi bar, Morimoto-style baby ribs, a whole roasted pig, an assortment of desserts and specialty cocktails.

Guests can also opt to include select premium festive cocktail pairings from Suntory for an additional charge. Upon arrival, guests will receive a lei and be treated to vibrant themed decor during this beloved immersive dining experience, celebrating the spirit of Asian American Pacific Islander culture. Guests can choose from two times, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Reservations can be made HERE.
