Sushi Chef Eddie outdid himself last evening. My husband and I each enjoyed one of his famous creations using the freshest fish, avocado, cucumber and sesame and unagi as a topping. These rolls outshine anything we have had at any sushi restaurant. To finish off Chef Eddie prepared a handroll with fresh crab, avocado, ahi and sesame sauce. Literally "to die for!" We had ordered two, but wantedto share this creation with the General Manager Doug who always ensures that we are taken care of. Doug was very impressed with this creation as well! We had exraordinary table service by Server Will who doubles as a great bartender. Will has always been so attentive, but not overly so. The perfect combination. This made for such a perfect evening. Thanks to all.

Arrived in the later afternoon for a lunch/happy hour and were seated right away as it wasn't too busy. The basil martinis were very good as were the rolls we selected. Very tasty fresh fish and everything is beautifully presented. Special shout out for the steamed shrimp gyozas - they are perfection! Servers were friendly and food arrived promptly. Always a nice dining experience.

Great service and excellent food. Staff is very knowledgeable and good at advising people about what to order.

Food was good. Service was awful...but they apologized repeatedly for it....but it was still awful. Odd as it is usually okay. We were outdoors and it was a pleasant evening.

Eiko's is the kind of place that makes you hopeful at first glance: sleek decor, buzzing crowd, and a promising menu that blends traditional Japanese flavors with a modern Napa twist. Unfortunately, the execution didn't match the ambition. Let's start with the duck confit fried rice—what should have been a rich, savory highlight landed flat. The duck was dry and stringy, the rice overcooked, and the seasoning somehow both muddled and bland. It felt like a dish that had been reimagined too many times and lost its soul in the process. The chicken butter lettuce wraps followed, and while not offensive, they didn't exactly make a case for themselves either. A little soggy, a little too sweet, and not enough texture or balance. A forgettable filler. The salmon bites were fine—fresh enough, nothing wrong, nothing remarkable. If you're just looking for something to nibble on with a drink, they'll do, but don't expect them to leave an impression. And then there was the spicy scallop roll: oddly slimy, with an off-putting texture that made it hard to finish. The scallops didn't taste spoiled, but they didn't taste especially fresh either, and the heat of the spice couldn't mask that fact. In a region where expectations are high and culinary competition is fierce, Eiko's didn't rise to the occasion. There are better places in Napa to spend your appetite—and your money.

The sushis were delicious and fresh! Great service, great food. I had the bon bon and lion roll. I typically don't go for raw sushi, but that was recommended by the host. It was bomb! Chef's kiss. I ate every single piece, and I usually never finish all of my food.
I ordered the Hawaiian poke bowl, and the spiciness from the sliced jalapeños stands out. Otherwise, the fish, rice, sauce, and vegetables were good. It is pricey at almost $30 before tax & tip.

Eiko's is always wonderful food and service. The drawback is the space is horribly outdated from the front entrance to the entire interior. Outdoor seating is pleasant when the weather allows.

We love this place. Our favorite sushi place along with all the other food on the menu. Tonight was Avocado tempura followed by 2 sushi specialty rolls. I highly recommend them. The service is always outstanding.
Heather
Loved each bite. The Hamachi shoulder (charred) was particularly memorable - so flavourful! I was celebrating a special-numbered birthday and our servers went out of their way to make it a wonderful evening.
I am never disappointed when I go here. I love the mocktail choices. And being a vegetarian I appreciate the wide selection they have for me. If you're ever in Napa - this is a must!
