Our food arrived fairly quickly after we ordered. It was an elder lady that served us and she was really nice. The bun rieu is very traditional, the real northern style bun rieu without all the fuss. It is very different from the southern style if people dont know know and were expecting something different. The broth was sweet and tasty. I ordered the larger and ate it all without passing out after. My friend ordered the bun cha and it too was delicious. I would have asked for more cha patties, and less grilled pork. The pork patties were juicy and had a nice char on it. The restaurant was clean, tables were well stocked with fish sauce, chilies and napkins. I would come back again and try more dishes

It's always been minimal yet warm, but something felt off this time and the one before. The usual calming video of California waves was missing, replaced with a blank wall and '50s oldies music that completely clashed with the vibe. It felt disconnected from what usually made this place so special. **FOOD & DRINK** Ramen: Severely under-seasoned and watery. What used to be a flavorful, hearty bowl now feels lackluster and uninspired. Wakame Salad: The portion was noticeably smaller--20-30% less than usual. Not what I've come to expect from this place. PRICE: $$ I've always been willing to pay premium pricing for the quality, atmosphere, and service, but this time, it just didn't deliver. **SWAG/AMENITIES** - Cozy and unique decor (still a plus) - Menu variety for tea and ramen lovers - Used to have a calming atmosphere (not this time) **STAFF & EXPERIENCE** This is where things really fell apart. The service was slow from the start--30 minutes for drinks, 40+ minutes for ramen. The servers were dry, unpersonable, and barely engaged with us. They didn't introduce themselves or try to make any connection. It's hard not to miss Jenna, who was always warm, kind, and inviting. She had a way of making the experience unforgettable, and maybe even made the food taste better! **FINAL THOUGHTS** Mantra Tea House used to be my favorite spot in town. I came here regularly, twice a month, and never thought I'd feel this let down. The food, service, and atmosphere have all taken a dive, and it's just not the same place I fell in love with. Sadly, I think this was my last visit.

I ordered the shrimp ramen which I believe was $24!! came with 4 shrimps, head off and the broth was so watery and under seasoned I was really bummed!! Their crab cakes were pretty good but also expensive $23 I believe for appetizer, very small portion just one crab cake drinks were cheaper. I would come back here just to drink tea or sake but food was meh for the price. Wish they would make it $12 for the ramen or add some more toppings/seasonings if they want to keep the price.... It's Bay Area prices lacking the flavor

We ordered the chili chili chicken, the orange chicken, the green beans, cucumber salad, and gyoza. The chili chicken used to be boneless. It was much better boneless. Each piece of meat has more exposure to the chili and it gives a nice burn. The way this was prepared, it was ok, but really wasn't spicy. We were disappointed in that. Everything else was wonderful. Though the cocktails weren't as amazing as the last time we were here. I like that they have indoor and outdoor seating, and even indoors feels spacious. It was a great place to be able to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in a long time. Looks like they can accommodate big groups too.

Morimoto Napa is a beautiful restaurant situated along the river, offering a great atmosphere and…read morescenic views that make it an enjoyable stop, especially on a warm Napa afternoon. The cocktails were a standout, particularly the lychee cocktail. Light, refreshing, and well balanced, it was the perfect drink to enjoy while taking in the riverfront setting. For appetizers, the spicy chicken wontons and karaage chicken were both excellent. The wontons had a great balance of flavor and heat, while the karaage was crispy, flavorful, and well executed. These dishes were among our favorites of the meal. Unfortunately, the hand roll sushi was the biggest disappointment of the meal. It was not cut, making it difficult to share, and overall felt fairly mediocre. Nothing about the flavors, texture, or presentation particularly stood out. The beef and broccoli was a mixed experience. The sauce was delicious and packed with flavor, but the beef itself was tough and cut into larger chunks than expected, which made the dish feel somewhat underwhelming overall. While not every dish was a home run, the beautiful riverside location, refreshing cocktails, and strong appetizer selection made for a very enjoyable visit. I would recommend Morimoto Napa for drinks, appetizers, and a relaxing view of the river. The spicy chicken wontons, karaage chicken, and lychee cocktail were the highlights of our experience and are what I would order again.

The bread pudding did not travel well, and separated like an over cooked cobbler, but the chocolate yuzu cake was a hit for breakfast the next morning.
