    Being a fan of Morimoto Napa and Morimoto, The Master, I've been wanting to try this place, but it's so hard to choose to eat here when one of my favorite restaurants (Morimoto Napa) is just a few doors down. It was surprisingly easy to grab a table for a late lunch on a Saturday. We sat outside so we had a beautiful view and our server was attentive- no complaints. My favorites were the Peking Duck, Cod, Chili Chili Crispy Chicken and Spicy Eggplant but everything else missed the mark. Probably won't be back. Nothing was bad, it just didn't hit the spot for good Asian food. Disappointed because I expected more.

    Service was amazing, and very attentive. 5 stars Food was a disappointment, very basic, nothing out of the ordinary, 3 stars. The desserts were okay, nothing that made .

    This is a beautiful restaurant, but I felt some negativity from the host when we first came in. The restaurant wasn't packed, but the host did give my family a little attitude when sitting us down. Our server was actually really nice. This being Morimotos, I knew this was going to be expensive. For the price you pay, I definitely feel you should get a little more the what they serve. Probably never going back to this place again unless I make a reservation in advance.

    Wanting something warm on a cool midweek day, we decided to try the casual cousin of Morimoto's restaurant located on the same street. Arriving around 1 pm, we were seated and ordered the Duck and traditional Tonkatsu ramen along with a lychee martini. Both were good but my wife informed me that her broth was slightly saltier in the Duck ramen. Overall no complaints with great service by the young Vietnamese American Female server working that day.

    This may have been the worst meal of my life. I am sorry to be so brutal about my meal, but this was essentially PF Chang's but much worse quality at much higher prices and much smaller portions. I advise to avoid at all costs!! The 2 dishes in our photos was $41 total before tax and tip. Food: Bad quality, abhorrently small portions, tasted like salt on salt. The xiao long bao was whatever and felt like they were simply microwave heated from a pre-packaging. The house fried rice was ridiculously small (it's literally rice with a few frozen vegetables). Service: Good. No issues Atmosphere: Fine but a bunch of spider webs on the outdoor tables and chairs

    We came here for dinner because it didn't require a reservation. The food was generally very good but pricey for the quantity. We got the duck tacos which was extremely overpriced for 2 small tacos. They were good but not amazing. I would not get them again. I got the duck ramen which was very good but only had a few small slices of duck. Our server was friendly and attentive. Finally there are only 2 ladies toilets. One was out of order so there was a line of ladies needing to desperately pee. Overall we had a good time but given the choice and with better planning I'd rather go somewhere else.

    Honey walnut shrimp

    This was a nice, easy spot for a casual dinner! We had the dim sum sampler and the honey walnut shrimp. The shrimp were truly the best I've had.. and they were HUGE! So good, I'd come back just for these. Overall the food was average besides - the dim sum sampler was a nice way to try a little bit of everything, but it was all pretty average. The service was super slow at first, we sat at our table for about 20 minutes without being approached. We almost left, but once we were approached we had good service and things moved quickly! I'd come back for a casual, easy spot - although for something more impressive, I'd go down the street to the fancier Morimoto.

    I liked the morimoto that has japanese food so I decided to give this place a try. Our server Richard was really nice. I just didn't like the food that much. I ordered the duck and asked if I could get it with bao instead of tortillas but that wasn't an option. The duck came with a hot stone just in case you wanted to make the skin extra crispy. It came with pico de gallo, hoisin sauce, and some sauce that was supposed to have apricot. It was a weird combo to me. I think because I kept thinking the apricot sauce was basically lumpia sauce. The dumpling sampler was solid but just came with five pieces and was pricey. My brother ordered the thai basil fried rice. It had ground beef, egg, spicy thai basil sauce, and fried garlic. The egg was good but I think the rice had too much going on at once and tasted over seasoned. Overall the food wasn't terrible but the mix of flavors didn't complement each other in my opinion. The ambiance is nice of course. It's on the corner of the riverwalk area. Our server richard mentioned the restaurant turns into a club at night and they have karaoke nights.

    lychee-tini
    Joseph M.

    Came here for dinner with my sister and her husband so here we are. We came in and started off with a few cocktails. I ordered the lychee tini and the perfect pear. My sister and her husband both ordered the Morimoto punch. The drinks were pretty solid. The lychee tini was more on the sweeter side. Perfect pear was sweet as well but it definitely was a bit stronger than the lychee tini. My sister and her husband said that the Morimoto punch tasted like juice and that it was easy to consume. Regarding food, I ordered the dim sum sampler, Thai basil fried rice, house roasted Peking duck which my sister and I shared, while my brother in law ordered the mapo ramen. The dim sampler came with 5 pieces, it wasn't bad but it left much to be desired. The Thai basil fried rice had a nice presentation however it was overly seasoned and the optional sauce that came with it made it seem sweet which didn't really make sense. The house roasted Peking duck was good, however it would be nice if it was served with bao buns instead of tortillas. I really like that it came with a mini grill which gave you the option of making the skin crispier if you wanted to. I didn't get a pic of the ramen but my brother in law said the ramen was drenched in oil. The service here was pretty good. Our server Richard took great care of us. He was very enthusiastic and had a great attitude. He also was big on promoting the nightclub events at their restaurant which it becomes later in the night. The ambiance of this restaurant is gives off a more classy vibe. Looks like a place where you definitely want to dress decent at. Not sure what the place looks like later tho when they turn it into a nightclub. Overall, I would have to give Richard a 5/5 but the food quality 3/5. The food isn't bad per se, however if you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine this ain't it. Anyways... Try it if you like. :)

    Peking duck entree

    Food was not great.....we usually order a few apps and the Peking duck which is usually amazing and this time was flavorless and overcooked. The spicy won ton app was lukewarm - we should have sent the wontons back - I couldn't eat but my husband ended up eating them. We will not return.

    It's so exciting that there are two Morimoto restaurants in downtown Napa. I'm allergic to many foods on the Morimoto menu, but the Morimoto Asia menu had many more options for me. We shared three dishes: sizzling sisig, szechuan green beans, crispy prawns. All were outstanding. Service was great. Can't wait to go back! Oh and cocktails were tasty! I had the casual encounter!

    Wow!! The food was wonderful. We sat outside on a beautiful night. We even got to personally thank chef Daniel. Service was great. We will be back.

With a wasabi and fennel infused vodka, it was too unique not to be curious about. Upon arriving and looking over the menu, SEVERAL cocktails stood out to me as intriguing to try. I started with the Wabi Sabi which was as interesting as it sounded. While I didn't pick up on fennel, you do pick up on the wasabi, but in the most subtle of ways. Think maybe lime/ginger sparkling water with just a hint of spice. Refreshing and different for sure. I also tried the Mucha Lucha w/ cilantro infused Siete Leguas Blanco, chorizo infused mezcal and cubes made of hot sauce that make the drink have a bit more of a kick as you allow them to melt. I did the HH chips and guac which was also accompanied with a tasty Chipotle sauce. Damn good actually. It'd be excellent served in a variety of ways. The deviled eggs aren't going to blow your mind, but I like that you get 4 different ones- and simply because I love eggs, I'd order them again. (They just wouldn't be a dish that brings me back). The bartender was great- helpful and attentive, even as more people began to filter in for an early afternoon. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Napa to check out some other menu options.

As soon as we approached the venue, there was a long line of people waiting to get inside. We arrived a bit later (around 8pm), and the crowd had already started to fill the venue. Mind you, it's a decent sized venue but not a massive space -- enough to accommodate at minimum 100 and likely max of 200 while still staying within code. There were several people coming in and out of the door, where the GM and bouncer for the night , appeared extremely stressed due to the amount of people in line and inside. A woman, who happened to be the wife of the DJ, stepped out to make a phone call and when she attempted to get back inside, proceeded to get yelled at by the bouncer saying she needed to go to the back of the line and wait like everyone else. The woman attempted to tell the bouncer her husband, who was the guest DJ for the night and is a historical, world renowned DJ (again using big names to draw crowds, and appropriating vinyl culture, but not respecting the very people in attendance), needed to tell him she'd be outside and would sit in the car. The GM started to yell and disrespect the DJs wife, and she ended up staying outside. Apparently this GM and venue are not used to larger crowds, and she essentially cracked under pressure. She went on to tell us the capacity was 67, and that they "were already at 200", which is a lie because there was a ton of space between people inside the venue (we have photos to prove it). She kept yelling and pushing people back. Girlfriend, this was not a Vegas club night. This crowd is 40+ (age) crowd, so it's not like people were out of control and acting debaucherous -- everyone was respecting the rules. If you couldn't handle the crowd, which btw you agreed prior to the 80-100 people expected for the party, then why was it such a hassle for your venue to handle the capacity. You knew a larger crowd was expected that night, it's your responsibility as a business owner to adequately staff the bar, door, etc. Yes; we needed to respect the door and the rules -- and everyone did. I won't get into further detail, but a physical altercation took place after the woman tried to return a second time (to again get her husband and tell him what was going on given she was being harassed at the door), putting hands on her in the process. Just completely out of line. Overall, this venue wants to appropriate the music and DJ culture, yet when the actual music and DJ community show up, there is no respect. Let alone for loyal patrons who have frequented your business and brought tons of revenue to the bar that night (which btw was extremely slow). Don't fall for the dog and pony show here. Go somewhere else that touts respects for their patrons, and for all walks of life -- not just the pretentious kind.
