    When we arrived there were a couple other customers waiting in the lobby and no restaurant employees there to check people in for at least five minutes. They had one hostess doing the checking in and seating, so they should have at least one other person helping with that. The food was good but some special sushi rolls would be a nice addition to the regular rolls.

    This is our first time back to Morimoto's in a while. The food and service were just as good as we remembered. They no longer had the chirashi available on the lunch menu but we asked our server and the kitchen was able to make it for us.

    The food was very good, however, it wouldn't have been if one person in our party hadn't given us the go-ahead to start eating as she waited for her food. And waited. And waited. We were done eating when her food finally arrived. We all ordered at the same time. Weird, I'd say. The server said a couple of times that it was on the way. Hard to say what really happened here. Not good though.

    My now-fiancé and I celebrated our engagement and 5-year dating anniversary here. It was our first time, and we highly recommend ordering the Omakase, the Chef’s multi-course tasting menu. Each presented dish exploded with complementary flavors, with every bite feeling like a party in your mouth. The ambiance is typical of a contemporary experience; however, a couple of bonsai trees would be the cherry on top! Morimoto is the best sushi joint in Napa Valley!

    We loved our experience there. We had a corner quieter table near the water and a great low key waitress. Loved the spare ribs, large fried calamari salad and a fish dish w rice prepared at the table. Dessert was also terrific-a crazy concoction of white chocolate, mango sherbet and tapioca pudding. ( not sure if I got ingredients correct) Various textures and flavors w each bite. We’ll be back.

    This was my second visit to Morimoto. The first was at their location on Honolulu a few years ago. That dinner was very memorable, and I’m happy to say that my latest meal met my high expectations! Outstanding food, service, and ambience. Perhaps a little pricey — still, I highly recommend!

    The staff were amazing. We were seated near the bar and some of the patrons were very rowdy. Our server and the manager went over and asked those people to keep it down several times. Still it was too loud and one of the bar patrons was inappropriate. There wasn’t much the restaurant could do since he was the whiskey rep for the restaurant and a regular. We thought the restaurant would do something extra for our inconvenience but they didn’t and they didn’t even comp a dessert for our friend’s birthday. Service was still good. Some of the food was out of this world and some of it was just ok. The shrimp tempura tasted like a frozen dish from Trader Joe’s and the black cod arrived cold. The short ribs were amazing and so was the white fish carpaccio. The carrot cake was the best we ever ate. We were glad we went and tried Morimoto Napa, but we’ll probably never go back again. I wish we had gone somewhere that was more about celebrating the region.

    Morimoto is a lively and beautiful restaurant. The food is well thought out and creative. The service, while reliable, lacked the personal touch I would look for at such a high end restaurant. Our server seemed to be in a rush at times which detracts from the overall experience. By the end, it appeared like the back end help were brought out to bring the meal home as our server had disappeared. On the whole, however, I’d say it was an adventurous meal and a very positive experience.

    I’ve eaten better rolls at much more reasonably priced restaurants. The noise level was ridiculously awful, and the service was so-so. My husband had the chicken dinner which was only okay. Our $300 tab for 4 wasn’t surprising, but when you consider that we both needed to eat something after we got home because we were both still hungry, then that’s ridiculous. Oh- and my ears are still ringing hours later.

    I've been to Morimoto's ramen place before, but it didn't live up to the hype. Trying his Napa namesake has been on my bucket list, and it didn't disappoint. Srpung for the omakase menu and was curious if I'd be full since it was a seven course menu. Little did I know each course was a mini plate in itself. The food was OUTSTANDING, and I was very happy to experience more than just "one bite" of each. What fell short was easily the customer service. Our server disappeared for 20min before we had a chance to order, so we were sitting around for a while. Some courses came out in a reasonable amount of time while others we were waiting around forever for. The decor of the restaurant was very minimal, and the noise level was so loud, it was difficult to hear the presentation of each plate. There were a few times I had asked what a particular item on the plate was, and the server couldn't give me a description. You'd think working in a restaurant of that caliber, the staff would be better educated on the menu items. That was very disappointing. When I'm paying that much for food, I expect more. After 5 courses I was full, so I powered through course #6 and had just a couple bites of dessert. Compared with a lot of other omakase menus, this was more than reasonably priced and the flavor is worthy of the Morimoto name. Would come here again, hopefully with better service.

    The experience left a lot to be desired. Service was decent but did not provide good guidance on the menu. The appetizers were delicious and savory - pot stickers and spicy tuna sushi, so when the entree came I had high expectations. I ordered the table side bimimpop, which sounded fun and what was ordered at the table next to ours. The quality of the tuna was terrible - couldn’t eat it - while the flavors were overly sweet. My friend ordered the fish which was also sweet not savory. We shared the brussel sprouts, which were also overly sweet due to the dates. I may go back but stick to the pot stickers and sushi.
