- BottleRock Napa ValleyMay 4, 2015Masaharu Morimoto's first signature restaurant right on the Riverfront. The sushi is amazing, but the daily “bento box style” lunch special is possibly the greatest culinary bargain in the country!

Damao ChuJanuary 20, 2015Okay, this is important anyone like this restaurant, don't come in Hungary as you need to taste the food, in flavor,texture and thoughts behind it! Man the food is good very good very very good!!!
Ross RojekMay 24, 2016Seriously excellent menu, food and service. We did a chef's tasting menu, and every course was top notch. Seared scallops were probably the best, but the sushi was melt in your mouth fresh.
TalyaSeptember 24, 2019You have to try the ishi yaki buri bop and the mori monkey bread. Everything was phenomenal, and every aspect of the service was buttoned up. My favorite restaurant in Napa.
KatrinSeptember 24, 2013Absolutely wonderful experience of an incredible detail oriented meticulous Iron Chef Japanese cuisine. Wonderful meal, interactive presentations, speedy 1 on 1 with smart sake somalier. Must visit!
Robert BeletzOctober 18, 2015Good sushi. Fresh and great presentation. Rolls are 6 small pieces for a large rice. Ambience is awesome. Be careful when ordering sake as my first ordered sake and there were 12 shots in the bottle.
David SSeptember 15, 2014Go with the Omakase (chefs tasting) it's not a lot of food and blew us away. If they have amber jacks you are in for a treat! Worse case def get the toro hamachi
Vennesa YungApril 9, 2015Went in at around 11:30pm for a late dinner. Their "late night" menu is less extensive but it covers all the basics. The chef's selection of sushi (and a maki) was excellent. Chef and staff were nice.
Elaine ChowJuly 7, 2013Great service. If you sit outside while the sun is out, watch out your raw fish may get cooked, best to keep in the shade. Uni carbonara was great. Tuna tartare was a visual treat
My favorite management and staff of all the restaurants in downtown Napa. Consistent quality and great service. Tell the managers Filipo and Eduardo Chris and Scott sent you.
TimSamsTravelUSAMarch 11, 2017Free parking across the street in a multi level parking garage for the public.
BDWJanuary 20, 2017The food was awesome try the Angry Chicken, slightly spicy, watch out for the hot peppers. Very delicious overall. Very authentic and very fresh sushi.
SuperbJuly 31, 2013The savory Bone Marrow is a great way to start a night at Morimoto, where the chef shows his uncanny ability to create modern delights out of rustic, traditional dishes.
板津 魁彦July 21, 2013spicy king crab and braised cod is so good, i would be go back just for them! plus, i will try bone marrow and roasted lobster next time! 5 star experience.- Maya ShanmugamNovember 22, 2015Go for the lunch set: I'm partial to the black cod and the Uni carbonara (opt for the miso w/ housemade tofu instead of salad) + nigiri.
Kelly Mitchell, The Wine Siren™April 26, 2016It's usually pretty packed in the restaurant side of things. Sit up front and you won't have to wait. Sea Urchin Carbonara is wicked good for dinner.
John MarshallJanuary 1, 2014OMG the pork chop is to die for! Not what I went in for but it was recommended by our hotel and he was right! Great food and service!
Jay CintronAugust 17, 2013Yummy! Not really a seafood guy but everything looked great! Plenty of awesome non sushi options.the porkchop! N so much more.the presentation was flawless.
Sabina B.April 15, 2014Everything here is obviously divine. Be sure to compliment your meal with the Chopstick Home Brew, Hamachi Tacos, and Wasabi Monkey Bread!
Nils NeckelJanuary 17, 2017Beautiful casual California Japanese restaurant. The sharing plates are huge. Sushi though is not up to par if you are from Asia.
Amortya RayJanuary 20, 2013The braised cod was amazing! So tender! We also got the garam masala lobster and the braised octopus appetizer. Great food as expected. Noisy place.
Boogie BearJuly 13, 2013Pork dumplings and seasoned bone marrow appetizers are a must try! White lily cocktail is a creeper.
Good variety of Japanese food with a mix of traditional and chef inspired options. Very Morimoto ;) with crunch, heat, flavor and raw fish.
Mark HinkleMarch 24, 2013This place was the bomb. Much better than I ever expected. Every course was excellent. Not a celeb chef gimmick this place is for foodies.
The braised octopus appetizer is an absolute grand slam - even if octopus makes you a bit nervous, give it a try - absolutely sublime.- Dave DeVisserAugust 19, 2013Combine both Omakase options together and enjoy the best meal of your life. ++wine pairing to further perfect
Fabio C.November 11, 2013From classic Japanese food to Asian fusion and excellent service. Had the ishi yaki buri bop entrée is just AMAZING!
Nadia MoreyFebruary 19, 2014I already can't wait to go back!! Must try the Sushi Tacos!! Wow!! Morimoto martini very nice.
Cornelia HornerJuly 12, 2015Blistered shishito peppers are delicious. Soft shell crab roll is a little hard to eat but tasty.
Try the Uni Cabonara Lunch Set - With veggie tempura & sushi of the day (spicy tuna maki, sake & hamachi)
Jason COctober 18, 2016The restaurant is crazy loud and the tables for two are very long, so you end up having to yell for your companion to hear you. The prix fixe (omakase) made dinner 3 hours long and some were just ok.
Tony BielDecember 30, 2012Amazing place - great energy, amazing food and friendly staff. Try a bunch of plates - everything is amazing!!
Jessica ChanJune 11, 2012Cocktails and dessert were the stars. The green tea drink and bloody mary were superb. Smores dessert is to die for
Keith McKenzieApril 1, 2016Scenic waterside tables add to the atmosphere while eating some delicious sushi.
AndyMarch 13, 2013The beef carpaccio and the lobster won ton soup are two great places to begin your dining adventure
Visit Napa ValleyJanuary 10, 2013During Napa Valley Restaurant Month in January you can enjoy a 2 course lunch for $20.00. Make sure to ask about the Restaurant Month Special!
Shawn SteinerAugust 16, 2013Try the coconut confections! Everyone misses the Confectionery at the entrance! DON'T YOU MISS IT!
SarahMarch 26, 2013The Sea Urchin Carbonara is an absolute must-have. Even my non-seafood-eater boyfriend could not get enough of it!
JoAnne KaoAugust 23, 2012Try the Black Tobiko W/ Quail Egg And Super White Tuna, Sea Bass And Fatty Hamachi Sushi - Live
Chris WeitzJuly 31, 2014Beautiful restaurant, eat at the bar or the chic lounge. Had wonderful sake!- Alexandria DSeptember 3, 2017If you want sushi ROLLS Eikos around the block is better and priced better but if your looking for a large steak or fish dish I guess this would be your place. I don't think it's worth the hype.
DekontiJuly 7, 2014Best uni! Roasted crab legs, sea urchin carbonara, hamachi collar, ramen & s'mores!- Ryan HouckMay 12, 2013Don't play it safe, get something unique. Inventive takes on classics as well as some adventurous options -- loved it.

"Kenzo is an amazing addition to the downtown Napa restaurant scene. This is Kaiseki as you would get in Tokyo. And when inside this very small restaurant you feel transported. Every bite is fabulous."
