Reviews for Morimoto Napa in Napa, CA
We went here during our stay in Napa. Décor and ambiance was nice. Drinks were over priced so decided to skip and go straight... for food. Best item on the menu was sticky ribs. Tuna tacos were good too. However was disappointed with assortment of sushi /maki we ordered. For such a popular restaurant and at such prices, I expected food to be much flavorful. Read more
Yum yum and yum. The restaurant is huge, nice styling and has indoor/outdoor options. The food is exquisite. We tried a little... bit of everything and none of the dishes failed us. Staff was great, atmosphere was nice as well. The pork belly and wagyu beefwere two highlights, and of course the Chef’s Sushi Combo was full of great selections. Read more
We had great time and nice meal at Morimoto, however, we are a bit disappointed with the whole experience, Service : we give it... 5/10 I believe the Resturant is under staffed, our server was absent most of the time, for a Michelin star Resturant I wouldhave expected a diff experience. Sushi: 5/10.. rushed .. the rice was falling apart, would have expected some art and diligentcarefully done meal. Presentation and seating 4/10 … the table was big, dishes placed randomly around the table, difficult toaccess. Over all you pay for the reputation, you pay for the name around 120$ average per person. Read more
Honestly the food here was amazing and everyone was very friendly. My sister brought me here for my birthday, the shrimp was... probably my favorite, had an amazing taste and I would definitely recommend it for a starter. We were able to split it between 3people and still had lots to eat and it tasted absolutely amazing. Sushi was great, my wife's fish was tender, moist, she kepttalking about how it nearly melted in her mouth haha. The tacos were great and everything had really good flavor, overall a10/10 experience and I'd recommend coming here for any special occasion. Be aware that you definitely need to make reservationsand the prices aren't cheap, but definitely a great place worth every penny. Read more
Service was fantastic but the food fell just a little short. For example, we got the spicy salmon and eel with avocado rolls... which were great but didn’t taste ‘out of this world’ better than other standard sushi places I’ve been. The gyoza in myopinion was missing the crispiness I was looking for and lacked flavor. I also didn’t really understand thesignificance/flavor exposition of the bacon foam surrounding it? The soufflé that we had at the end was delicious though,highly recommend. Overall a good experience but probably not one I would do again. Read more
For its prestige and name recognition, we were slightly disappointed in the food. Atmosphere, service, and restaurant were... amazing, but the food itself did not stand out as much as we expected. The Tuna Tartare was the standout of the dinner. Eachbite paired with a different topping was incredibly fun to experience. However, the ribs and sushi plates we all ordered tastedjust okay. Compared to other (cheaper) sushi places we've eaten in the Bay, it didn't stand out as much as we expected for itsprice. Read more
A very good place if you are into fancy Japanese food and don't mind spending $200+ per person for a dinner. The fish is very... fresh and carefully selected. My favorite were the appetizers: the sticky short ribs are must have and were absolutelydelicious! Cocktails were a bit disappointing: overly sweet. Stick to good sake???? Read more
All the dishes minus the sushi are amazing! Their dishes are very luxurious and each bite is very dense, so you get full easily.... Their sushi isn't anything special and tastes really mediocre. Great customer service too! Read more
