   Was on vacation for my anniversary, made a reservation, had reservation confirmed. Showed up. Waited outside because doors were locked and restaurant not open. No sign. No message. No apologies. Many other groups in same predicament.

   DO NOT GO HERE!!! This place is incredibly misleading & such a scam!!! The menu they advertise online is NOT what they have when you go. They only have, as the server described “extremely bite-sized” appetizers which are all $20+. I did not want to spend over $100 on tiny unfilling food, so I got up and left. Would give this place 0/5 if I could.

   Love his restaurant in Napa, so decided to try Sa'Moto. We were not disappointed. Food is amazing, most importantly the service was 10 Star.

   We had high expectations from the food at Morimotos, however we were not very impressed. This one was nothing close to our experience at Morimotos in New York. Would hope they improve their menu offerings and excel at it.

    Service was super friendly once you finally got their attention. Would have consumed way more than one drink but never was given the opportunity to order more until we were done eating. Food this time was blah at best, previous times the food has been great which is why I usually come back. The Pork gyoza was ridiculously hot with bland taste. The ribs (6) for $40.00 were cold, the chicken karaage looked nothing like the picture and tasted like fried chicken skin and fat with a drop of sauce. The two rolls though were good though. And $10.00 for a small bottle of sparkling water is kind of silly and $19.00 for a bacardi rocks is a bit excessive. For the price they command I expect much better service and a consistency in the food quality. But this seems to be par for SBE. Will not be returning for any more tries.

    We’ve dined here a few times, once before COVID, twice during. The food is good/creative, but the sushi rice is below standard & far below a Morimoto standard. Last night!’s meal was a struggle. Inexplicably, a loud electric violin player was performing … jamming with contemporary hip hop also playing loudly. The violinist was good, the track music was fine … both obnoxiously loud & together - hilariously bad. It was … shocking. I asked the server ‘how long had this been going on?’ He picked up on my discomfiture & asked the violinist to turn down … she sort of did, was back to wailing by meal’s end. The dan-dan was too spicey to enjoy, the check came without my credit card which I presented first - the experience was snake bit. I’ve dined at Motimoto spin offs around the world - but sadly won’t return to Sa’moto.

    The sticky ribs were AMAZING (buttery texture, fall off the bone). Huge disappointment on the sushi and the lobster. They failed miserably on the sushi rice (gummy and hard pressed almost into mochi). The selection for sushi was very basic too. I thought they’d at least knock a salmon avocado roll out of the park, nope. The drinks were fantastic, well balanced. Fresh lobster, was so mediocre - sauces were uninspired. Dessert: the crème brûlée yummy and well bruleed without burning. The caramel popcorn sesame ice cream was inedible. Returned it and was still charged for it. The popcorn was very very stale and the whipped cream seems foul. I’m didn’t get to try the ice cream buried below. The wait staff were slow and inattentive. Overall there were some brilliant highlights, but I wouldn’t return. Has the feel of a poorly managed restaurant.

    Food was excellent as usual. They were understaffed so service was not great and they kept cranking the music up to super loud which was uncomfortable but they did end up getting it figured it out. Definitely recommend the sundae and sticky ribs!

    Food was good but a bit in the sweet side. Crab spring roll was very delicious! The decor is very fun and the server was very nice. We went on Sunday and it’s is “club” night with loud music appropriately but noisy for us. Wednesdays are regular dinner day if you like quieter experience. It is a fun place

    We had high hopes for a “Morimoto” meal. The food was average at best. I’m sorry to say that nothing was delicious. We ordered the veggie and crab egg rolls, the spicy chicken, some tuna and salmon sushi rolls, gyoza, sticky ribs, yellowtail sashimi, and the tuna tartare appetizer which was fishy. $650 for an underwhelming meal. Maybe if we were at a strip mall sushi place, it wouldn’t have seemed so bad, but it being Morimoto, we expected much better. He should take his name off this place asap. This was very disappointing and we will never go back.

    This is probably the 4th time we have visited since it opened. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants in town. Sadly that was not the case yesterday. The food quality was not great and some of the fish did not taste fresh. I understand that covid-19 has made it very hard on restaurants, but I hope that this place picks up and goes back to how it was when it opened -amaazing. I have to say our server Skye was delightful and very sweet and attentive.

    Wait is super long (40 mins) for them serve the first dish: miso soup. The food: miso soup is salty, not good. The worst is the spicy wonton, extremely oily, the wonton is saggy, and overcooked. The rib is pretty good. Overall it is a disappointment for us.

    Had high expectations. Welcomed (or not welcomed) by the bored hostess made the first impression. Food was served cold. Taste was just okay. Ordered martinis and were half filled. Lackluster. I will not recommend this place.

    Beautiful place but overpriced considering the service. The food was great but nothing special. I only received 3/5 items I ordered, due to being out of items and understaffing. As someone who works in the service industry I completely understand, however some communication would have been nice, instead what they did is they brought out a replacement without consulting me first. During this interaction I also asked if they correctly took down my order as I was missing some items, they assured me they were coming but due to the kitchen being understaffed they were backed up. After an hour of waiting I asked to close out my tab. I was charged the full amount for plates I did not receive. I asked the bartender to make the correction and he obliged but the whole situation was a headache. I don’t think I’ll be visiting for dinner again.
