Morimoto Napa

"This place is absolutely spectacular. I took business clients here and we all loved everything. The rock shrimp appetizer is to die for - particularly the wasabi sauce. We had the duck fried rice (very good), the appetizer tacos, and spicy tuna rolls. All were excellent. We shared the special surf and turf - tempura lobster with wasabi and sliced short rib. So very good. Finally the dark chocolate sphere which was delicious. Cannot wait to come back. This is an excellent option in Napa and very unique. I would say it is much better than the famous Nobu.

"A great Asian food place in the heart of Napa downtown. Foods are good quality and made to perfection. Softshell crab roll and hamachi taco was outstanding. Wines are good but their clam miso soup and tofu miso soup were also great complement to the drink!"

"I really enjoyed the experience here. The service was quick, friendly and detailed. We ordered the sticky ribs and the pork belly as well as the A5 Waygu as apps they were all delicious. I had the chefs choice sushi platter and it was fresh, just slightly underwhelming. I really wanted it to knock my socks off and I didn’t love it. The cocktails were well balanced with a lot of flavor. The dessert was good, nothing crazy exciting. I would eat here again but I would order entrees rather than the sushi. The experience was well worth it and I would absolutely stop here again."

"Decent experience at this sushi restaurant. The rolls were good, although not the freshest. The salad and drinks were enjoyable. Unfortunately, the advertised French fries tasted like old vegetable oil, and though we returned them, we were still charged. Overall, a mixed experience, and we may not return."

"Cannot fault the food - the dishes were nice, sashimi fresh but somehow, there was something lacking from the overall meal that prevented me from rating this higher. We had a booking of 8 - restaurant was full for a Thursday evening and the atmosphere was busy but not rowdy. Our server was fine, nothing outstanding & had to explain the menu a couple of times. We had a sashimi platter - fresh but nothing out of the ordinary. The main dishes were a little more innovative but other than the chicken, dish portions were rather small. Desert was special but overly sweet! We had an OK evening here. Nothing to shout about but I guess you’re in Napa so expect to pay high prices. Overall service was really slow and we had to wait a long time between courses. Perhaps my expectations were a little too high (fan of the Iron Chef) so perhaps my review is based on my expectations of being blown away by an amazing meal."
