   We were in Napa for a short stop and needed a brief respite for dinner. This was perfect!

   My food had no flavor. I expected more from a Morimoto restaurant

   Great dinner for four of us. Shared a whole Bronzino and wonderful sauce, a different and delicious Peking duck, and also starters and vegetables. All great and all unusual.

   Its annoying this restaurant and Morimoto Napa have basically the same name & are next door to each other so its easy to make the mistake of booking this location. The food is PF changs meets panda express but for twice the price. Felt very corporate inside & played an annoying top 40 playlist.

   Food all tasted fresh but some items needed a bit more flavor and salt (sautéed vegis for example). Kung pao chicken was very good and didn’t seem overly greasy as you may find at some places. The vegan ramen was also very good. Pricing was not bad although $3 charge for some chili oil was a little unexpected. It was not busy but it was Monday night. I’ll be back.

   Meh...at best. This was the day after Valentine's Day and a long weekend. They were packed and clearly in the deep weeds. So, that likely contributed to the slow service and oddly timed delivery of dishes. The food was, again, just meh. One example was the miso black cod, which was rather bland. It could have used some source of salt, maybe some sort of soy sauce, but we couldn't flag anyone down to ask. The neighboring table had Szechuan green beans, and they looked delicious. We ordered them, but they never arrived. My sticky rib appetizer wasn't bad, though I'm not sure the two little fellas warranted the $18 price tag. It could have been a bad night, but I'd recommend not taking the risk.

   Just enjoyed a celebration dinner here with my family. The food was fresh and delicious! Our favorites were sticky ribs, red miso marinated black cod, pork chasu ramen, szechuan green beans, orange chicken, duck tacos, crab rangoons, and house fried rice. The Peking Duck even came with a hot stone to warm up and sear the duck further if you wish. They have a nice selection of cocktails, sake, whiskey, beer wine, and nonalcoholic drinks. The lychee-tini was delightful. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Our server refreshed our beverages without having to ask. Highly recommend enjoying a meal here.

    The food was nice but nothing that stands out from other peer establishments, especially for the price you’re paying. Service was mediocre and so slow. We had noon reservations and our main course was served about 50 minutes later. And even though they knew we were sharing family style, we still had to ask them for some serving utensils. After we finished our meal, it took about 30 minutes to get our check. They just don’t seem to operate with a sense of urgency. This is definitely not the place to go if you have something else planned for the evening like catching a movie or show. It was a nice experience but not sure if we will ever go here again. (You’re better off just going to Morimoto Napa down the street.)
