8 Best Japanese Restaurants near Napa

“Excellent kaiseki dinner. Celebrated my 50th birthday here. Every dish was delicious and the service was top notch! Well executed by the chef and staff!“

“Having lived in Tokyo, finding good Japanese food in America can be a challenge, BUT thank God for Morimoto! I’ve been a fan since iron chef and I’m thrilled that my first time visiting far exceeded my expectations. Everything was fresh, cooked well & delicious!
We had the gyozas, ribs, shishitos, katsudon, burger + desserts. While I wouldn’t personally order a burger at a Japanese restaurant, my friends burger was pretty average. The gyozas could’ve been cooked a tad longer. The ribs were tender & juicy and reheat well. The shishitos had great seasoning. But the star of the show was the katsudon! Delicious, great cook on the pork so that the breading is still crisp while sitting on rice with sauce & the depth of flavor was unbelievable!

The dessert was also really great. I’m not huge on sweets so the gelato was the perfect finish.“

“Celebrated our 39 wedding anniversary with our two children, their significant others and on 7 month old grandson. Sat outside which was perfect to give us room with the baby. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Apps and meals were all tasty. Really loved edamame and eggplant apps, tiger and lion rolls and tuna sashimi. Bill came and was surprisingly reasonable given we ate more than our fill Highly recommended.“

“Overall a very good experience. A couple fumbles with our soup coming out before our cocktails, and the place was not full at all. Dim Sum was just ok. Soup dumpling was great. Peking duck was wonderful as was the Kung Pow chicken. We will go back.“

“Located in the heart of Napa's main street and easy to get to, this spot has been on my list to try for a while. We were seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. The service was prompt and Tito was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Their miso soup was full of umami and I really wish I had another bowl right now!! I really enjoyed the dumpling choices. The fried shrimp dumplings were so crispy and flavorful. I had to try the steamed ones to compare. They are both delicious, but the steamed ones have a juicer shrimp flavor. I recommend you get both - you won't be disappointed. Healthy fries are a tempura joy! Hot, crisp, and bursting with green bean flavor. The rolls are fresh and tasty and not overloaded with rice. I have some others I want to try, so we will be back!

The only thing that I gave a lower score to was the window seats. It's very warm near the window, next time we'll sit away from the window.“

“Very affordable and a wonderful place to get Sushi and Sashimi. Casual atmosphere. I lived in Okinawa Japan for 3 yrs so 4 stars due to the Sushi not being cold and more firm. It was very good though. Saited my appetite quite
well and didn't break the bank.“

“Amazing!“

“Dinner and a show! The food is always fantastic. I love the filet but everything we have had is really good. Some chefs are better at the show than others but it’s always fun! One half of the restaurant is for hibachi and the other is not. You can also order off the sushi menus if you are doing hibachi.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free soy sauce and were very knowledgeable about gluten.“
