Special occasion dinner
Hands down best sushi we have ever had. Amazing sampling menu, great wine and service. Great ambience. Letโs be realโฆ..this is a date night of the decade restaurant with eye watering prices. Not a first date outingโฆ.only for โkeepersโ. It may have been a slow time- we had 3 different water pourers, 4 different food servers and 2 main waiters Not for the shy of wallet

For the celebration of our youngest son we stayed in Napa for the weekend. Although it is low season it was a challenge to get a booking but boy were we in for a treat. We chose the chefs menu a seven course dinner and we were not disappointed. Superb dinner paired with great local wines.

Great food. And a really awesome server! Christie/ Crystal (so sorry bad memory). She was so wonderful she made our night. The food and drinks were great too! And we really appreciated her suggestions. Highly recommended by us!

Food was good, service was weak. The place is LOUD and the tables seat you very far apart so you feel like you need to yell. We waited until the tables cleared out and scooched closer together. It was our 24th anniversary. Our server wasn't busy but she hung out across the dining room ignoring us. We ordered our first course, came out fast and delicious but it was almost an hour before she came for our second course, then didn't give us new plates... we were going from sticky ribs to sashimi. Luckily the bussing staff was on it. All in all meh, but really enjoyed the ribs, miso clam soup.

I love Japanese cuisine and was excited to go there. My husband and I were terribly disappointed in the food preparations and taste of most of what we ordered. Only the edamame, rolls and sashimi were good. The cod tasted like it was in a bbq sauce and the tempura shrimp was weirdly served with 2 different sauces and were all wet. The shishito peppers were piled in a strange tall bowl , again all wet.

We were in Napa for a few days, and Morimoto's has been on our list of restaurants to try. We did make reservations and I suggest making them. We were there in the middle of the week the end of September and the restaurant was packed. The ambiance is unique and beautiful. We were seated right away, and started exploring the cocktail and wine menu. Mr. Bee settled on a Wagyu Old Fashioned. I know you are thinking Wagyu is beef and in a cocktail that is weird. We thought so too, and that is why he had to try it. They add a little wagyu fat, sounds gross I know, but oh my gosh, it was incredible. The wagyu adds an earthiness to the whisky and softens it so there isn't such a bite to it. It was smooth and full of flavor, highly recommend it. I went with a lovely glass of Albarino wine. We ordered salted edamame to snack on while we explored the extensive menu. It may seem crazy that I would go to a seafood and sushi restaurant being a vegetarian. But.... they had a delicious vegetarian option and Mr. Bee wanted to have sushi. I settled on the Fried Rice dish that comes with seafood, but they substituted it for housemade tofu. Mr. Bee ordered a tuna roll. The edamame was a large portion, and was hot and salty, the perfect start to the meal. Our food came out fast. The sushi roll was stuffed with tuna and so fresh. As for my Tofu Fried Rice, it came out in a hot steel bowl, served on a wooden plank and our waiter explained each vegetable and then poured a lovely asian sauce over the top and stirred it tableside. The dish was incredible. The vegetables crisp and fresh, the tofu soft and silky. The spicy sauce added a whole other level of richness, saltiness and umami to the dish. Everything was excellent including the service. We were both stuffed to the gills, but when we saw their special dessert go by, well....we couldn't refuse. CHOCOLATE! The platter came out with a chocolate sphere encasing a lovely homemade ice cream, with two biscuits on the side with rolls of chocolate on top and fresh berries to cut through the richness of the chocolate. Our server poured alcohol over the top of the sphere lit it on fire, as the chocolate melted over the ice cream. OMG, each bite was pure heaven. Parking is tricky downtown. Fortunately we were staying at Churchill Manor and walked from the inn to dinner along the Napa Riverwalk. It was an amazing dinner and experience.
Be the first to ReplyGreat atmosphere, excellent food and service!
The food was excellent! Very well spaced out. Very attentive service. Samantha was our server. She was knowledgeable, had great recommendations and provided excellent service. Ended the night with the chocolate sphere, very cool! This restaurant was recommended by a tour guide at one of the vineyards. Great spot!
Be the first to ReplyAlways good sushi takeout
We are busy during the day so we order their rolls for home consumption. Easy to order and drive by for pickup. Surprise at how reasonable they are priced for the quality received. Also, just head to bar, and order a few rolls for a quick snack.
Be the first to ReplyThe perfect dining experience in Napa
We last ate at Morimoto Napa about 5 years ago and loved it then, and we till love it! The restaurant is large and ever so tastefully decorated and despite the large size, it has a certain intimacy. The service is perfect, informative, attentive but not intrusive or obsequious. and we were never made to feel rushed in our decisions. The menu is very interesting and varied and I never expected to eat BBQ oysters at an asian restaurant, but they were perfectly delicious and highly recommended. We were four adults and had the black cod, duck fries, Hamachi sashimi, soft shell crab makizushi, shrimp tempura makizushi, eel and avocado makizushi, spicy salmon makisuzhi, and uni nigiri. Every dish was a winner, the fish was fresh, beautifully plated and the rice was perfectly made, not hard or tasteless as in many restaurants. We had Sapporo beer with our dinner. The tab was very reasonable considering the quality of the food and dining experience.
Be the first to ReplyOverpriced. Undervalued. But great service .
Overpriced, undervalued, but excellent service. 4 pieces of sashimi, with 3 rolls and 2 drinks was $150.00 with a tip. We did not see any value for what we paid. All rolls were balls of rice with small pieces of fish. No fresh fish wrapped , or specialty rolls - all we tasted was rice and soy. Compared to our local sushi house, I would rate this 1 out 10. I think the lure is that you are going to โMorimotosโ, and supposed to be impressed. The service was good, and our host was attentive. There were other things on the menu , like $100.00 ribeye, but we chose not to go that route. Overall though, Iโm sure better sushi, at a way more affordable price, can be found easily with a little searching. Do your homework before reserving!

Nice high ceiling spacious and clean place. Service was quick and courteous. Minor wait when we checked in as no one was at the counter. Miso soup was okay but a tad too bland. Oh toro sashimi was โmelt in yourโ mouth delicious. Pork gyoza was average but good size. Duck fried rice was average. Angry chicken was good though some parts of the chicken breast were dry. Buri bop was excellent and Rock Shrimp tempura was โnext levelโ good. I would return if I got a gift card or for a special occasion ๐.

We had our final dinner in Napa at Morimoto's Napa and enjoyed the food and the service. We did have a reservation and it was a good thing since it was pretty hopping for a Monday night. The service was attentive and friendly and all the food we ordered was delicious. Would go back when in Napa again.

We were seated 20 min after our reservation. So noisy. Service was spotty. Our server never checked on us except to ask about dessert. We had to order a side dish from the manager. We were very disappointed. We brought our friends from the east course to what we thought would be a special time.

Food was good. If u like Nobu youโll like this as well. Portions sizes were good and service was great. Rock shrimp tempura was really good and would recommend it if you love shrimp. Angry chicken was also good.

Pleasant experience overall. Food is good but not superb, could be better. The price is reasonably when compared to the size of the plates. Staff was kind.
Be the first to ReplyUnprofessional Service and Terrible Experience; Do Not Eat Here!
We were greatly looking forward to dining here, but the experience has permanently turned us off dining here and at other Morimoto locations. We checked in for our reservation 2-3 minutes late, and the hostess said that she could not find our reservation. After looking at her computer again, she then said that our reservation had been canceled because we were more than 15 minutes late. When I pointed out both the clock in the restaurant and on her computer reservation screen said that we were only 2-3 minutes past the reservation time, she continued to maintain inexplicably that we were more than 15 minutes late. After I literally pointed to the time on her computer screen, she then ignored us and began talking to another customer. At that point, things became heated and another hostess came over to see what was wrong. She accurately noted the time and said we could be seated after all, but she neither apologized nor explained why the first hostess lied to us about the time. Even after I asked both hostesses why the first one lied, they simply ignored us. After being seated, our server told us that the hostesses get a percentage of the food ordered but not a percentage of the tips. So, we changed our orders and didn't order as much as we intended to avoid giving money to the hostess who lied. The whole experience left a terrible impression and influenced our reaction to the food which was neither flavorful nor memorable. To this day, i still have no idea why the first hostess lied about the time, but the restaurant's failure to even apologize for the unprofessionalism means we will not return and we cannot recommend anyone else to eat there either.
Be the first to ReplyEntered with Great Anticipation; Left with Great Disappointment
I am actually remiss to write this review, as my wife and I have held such high regard to our previous Morimoto experiences both here and Maui. Home Runs were hit prior visits, with theatrical presentation, over the top professional service and varied menu, with numerous wild creative dishes to arouse. Sadly, none of that happened @ Morimoto Napa this time. The menu was scaled down to minimalistic, bare bones staples, so to speak. The dishes we recalled from the past, which were visually stunning and diner interactive no longer exist. The theater and presentation, no longer exists, and the service was so pedestrian, almost to the point of not giving a damn. We have never regretted paying good $$$ for memorable experiences, so even if they would have presented a bill for 1/3 of this pricy night, I would have felt taken advantage of. You will make your own decision whether to dine here or not, however, if you have truly fond memories in the past, I will recommend you hold on to those, because the present will fail to meet said expectations.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious Asian fusion
A great Asian fusion restaurant located on the river in downtown Napa. The restaurant has a good vibe and offers indoor and outdoor seating. We had the angry bird, sushi rolls, corn, duck fried rice and edamame. All our meals were delicious with interesting flavor combinations. The service was also top notch.

We keep going back! Delicious, creative Asian-fusion cuisine in a beautifully decorated space. NOTE: They require proof of vaccination (as of 1/2022) to be seated indoors.

Went to here two nights in a row and had a fantastic time, great service and superb meal. Great selection of sushi, appetizers in entrรฉe. Nice ambience. Could even eat outside under heaters. Thank you to the manager who even let us come late on the second evening. We look forward to coming here every year
Be the first to ReplyGreat ambiance, service and food!
This was the only restaurant that we drove to and it was worth it. The decor is beautiful, a nod to the Japanese food and the setting of the Valley. Food was fantastic and will definitely visit again!
Be the first to ReplyVery disappointing!!!!
We love Japanese food and were looking forward to the experience of eating there however the food was not at all as special as the price it was quoted. The cod fish with soy sauce reduction and ginger was actually cod with teriyaki sauce with no other special flavors. Other dishes that we ordered had no resemblance to the description on the menu. When we expressed our disappointment and the server reported to the manager, no one came to talk to us.
This is the kind of place you want to shout " the king is naked"
NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL!!!
No vaccine no eat
We were told we needed vaccine card to dine inside or dine outside in 45 degree weather so we left not a good experience to cold to eat some sushi or anything else outside so we left to eat elsewhere
