Stopped by on our way to the Uptown for a show. Dinner and service were excellent. Nice place for sushi.
I ate here two days in a row. The first day was post-wine tasting, so I was super hungry! I got an already made roll and poke bowl. Both were amazing. But I did spend $50 on two items so it was a little pricey. However, everything in Napa is expensive. The fish was fresh though and now fishy tasty at all! Therefore, I had to stop by there to grab a quick healthy snack before heading home. The next day I got two rolls and a seaweed salad. Once again, both the rolls had very fresh fish with high quality ingredients. I am looking forward to eating here when we return!
Looking for a place to meet friends for dinner and they suggested we try Eiko's and so glad we did! I had the house salad which was the bessst house salad I've ever had. Yes, nothing about a house salad sounds fancy but the dressing was crack, I would put it on anything. For dinner I had the Hawaiian poke bowl and it was the best poke bowl I've had in California. It literally took me back to the islands. My husband asked the Donnie the sushi chef what he recommended and he suggested the sashimi sampler and we were shocked how generous the portions were! There's only about 10 seats there but what it lacks in space, makes up for the personal attention you get from Donnie. If we're ever in town, we'll definitely be back.
They are very nice there. One of my go to make it home meals is to get some of their sustainably grown ho came salmon. Then I take it home. Slice it sashimi style and enjoy with from their fine collection. The fish is always very fresh and delicious Sasaki recommendations Right on and I like the evening weekday chef.
Had an excellent lunch the other day. Brian the sushi chef was great. He made suggestions and recommendations and all were delicious. The hamachi bombs are a new all time favorite for me! The Toro was delicious and the rolls were done really well. Would definitely come back!
To Go! Great food they set everything up to Go! Recommend The Ricky, Ricardo crab avocado, salmon, with spicy sauce Oh LaLa Bamba!! little Ricky
I was standing near the sushi bar when I arrived, nobody greeted me, chef was right there, didn't say anything to me, dirty plates and food left all over the sushi bar so I didn't sit down as it was not clean and I didn't want to clean it all myself. So I decided to order at the cashier. I probably would have chose another place inside the market but it was late and few options. I got the Hawaiian poke bowl. It was yummy, high price but had lots of fish so I feel that was fair and the taste and quality was high. I ended up squeezing in At the end of the sushi bar. I told my cashier I wanted to eat at the sushi bar and she said she would tell the chef, however the chef served me food in a to-go bowl . Then I asked the chef for soy sauce and he gave me to-go packets even though I was eating there. I didn't really feel welcomed. The chef was talking to a customer next to me for the whole time I was there but never talked to me. I would have bought more items if the chef suggested something special to me. I had a beer, it was good. Cashier was very friendly. Sushi chef was nice enough to get me soy sauce so he wasn't rude or anything. The food was good. After I was done eating they started to clean up and finally started to clean up all the food at the sushi bar. So it sat there for my whole meal. Nobody could sit in those seats the whole time. Maybe they didn't notice. So I'm kind of torn how many stars to give this place. I didn't really feel taken care of or that welcome. Food was good however. Place was messy because of no cleaning up after customers until closing time. I guess I will go with four stars because I would eat there again. I just feel that the staff can do so much better if they would consider things from the other side of the sushi bar as a customer. Sorry for my honesty here, I didn't really look forward to writing this review. I worked at sushi restaurant for a few years as a waitress and I know how difficult of a job it can be.
