Honestly, such an awful experience. We each ordered the omakase and you would think there would be an effort for a stellar experience when spending a combined $400 on dinner. Our server barely checked on us, dinner took 2.5 hours and we waited over 30 minutes between courses. They had runners bring the food and explain what we were eating in barely above a whisper which in an extremely loud dining room meant we didn’t know what we were eating or how we were supposed to eat it. Our raw fish course (I have no idea what it was) was room temperature, our black cod was also room temperature, my husband’s steak was chewy and cold, my seafood stew was so hot and the shellfish was so overcooked it was almost inedible. When they dropped my husband’s steak they told him it was wagyu (an optional upcharge he had declined) when we called our waiter over to double check, he moved the steak around with a knife and said he better hope that was what it was but confirmed we had not been charged for it, I hope it wasn’t because he said it was almost inedible. Our drinks sat empty for over an hour and it was only after we had called the server over to deal with the steak that he noticed and asked if we would like to order another round. Pretty upsetting when you are just sitting there waiting for 40 minutes and you can see your server chatting at the computers. This is an instance where if the service had been better and the experience felt like the big birthday celebration that it was, we probably would have been more impressed with the food. With everything outside of the food being such a bad experience, it ended up making the food feel subpar. We had so been looking forward to this meal and planned our weekend around it only to leave feeling so incredibly disappointed. I will never be back.

The plastic chopsticks were not easy to use. They don't grip the food the way wood does so we ended up having to use silverware and fingers since even the rolls were sliding free of the chopsticks. This needs to be looked at. I get plastic is easier to sanitize than wood but then maybe warn diners in advance that they should bring their own if they want wood instead of plastic OR get a plastic that has textured edges so that it's easier to hold onto food. We were expecting a fabulously different flavor for all the Wagyu meat options but we really couldn't tell the difference and paid dearly for that experience. A sushi roll containing it was $41 vs. $18 for example. Our appetizer was also quite pricy for something that was also not anything special. I am not sure if it's more of a RICH PERSON thing to order and brag about this but for an average consumer, not used to paying that much for things but looking for an adventure with food exploration, to pay that much, the experience should be worth the cost itself and it wasn't. I would recommend it with warnings about the cost and the chopsticks and to bring their own bottles of Sake...they are very marked up!

Incredible food, incredible service. Nearly a year later and we still talk about when we can next visit. The noise level was outside our comfort level, but it was a weekend and every other aspect of the experience made up for it in spades.

We ordered the Omakase Tasting menu and it was fantastic for a romantic birthday celebration. Beautifully plated, fresh seafood, delectable sauces and appropriate temperatures for the hot and cold dishes. It was noisy as the restaurant is large and popular but the noise fell away as they brought our flight of sakes and each successive dish. I highly recommend for a special occasion.

Absolutely horrible. The name and recognition doesn’t match the outcome. The food was extremely underwhelming - I even question whether or not Marinoto (who supposedly last visited this location March this year) even tasted the quality of food from his chefs and team. I asked for a steak to be medium rare - it came out well done. Literally well done! We ordered several appetizers and some even said it came with sturgeon caviar - I challenge anyone to even quantify the amount. It was pretty much non-existent. The juices and sauces that are paired with various dishes are not an accoutrement - they are drowning in them resulting in a mis -aligned flavor profile and not-good taste on your palette. The atmosphere - we wish this wasn’t a tourist trap filled with families in shorts and t shirts, kids crying and playing on their iPads, or even a mid century modern or elevated cafeteria feel for what could easily be an authentic and true Morimoto vibe but unfortunately has succumb to name, image, etc. and is choosing to cater to tourism rather than the authenticity of what we thought was a great chef. We won’t be back nor recommend.

Me and my wife had a wonderful experience dining at Morimoto’s. The service was great, and every dish was delicious, well cooked, seasoned, and fresh. We have been to other Moriomoto chain establishments, and the one in Napa is a gem. Definitely recommend booking if you’re looking for a pleasant, flavor filled dining experience.

Had the most WONDERFUL time celebrating my fiancé and I’s anniversary - our server, Rich, went above and beyond to make us comfortable and the food was unbelievable. The GM came to our table multiple times to check in as well and was super kind and helpful. We will absolutely be back!! PS - try the tempura rock shrimp appetizer.
