So after a full day of wine tasting, the idea of a big meal just didn't work, and the weather had gotten a bit colder and the wind a bit brisker. What to do? Ah, Napa Noodles. This restaurant is located right in the downtown Napa area and serves a variety of noodle-based soups and meals. It is very low-key and the TVs have a number of sports showing at the same time. The noodle dishes were very tasty and hit the spot!

Kenzo definitely deserve its Michelin Star.Reservation was made with ease online and their lovely host, Yoko, calls you 2 days in advance to confirm your reservation.We arrived 20mins early, with preparation to wait for our table, but was instead seated right away at the center of their sushi counter.Our waiter offered us a glass of Schramsberg sparkling wine, in celebration of our anniversary, which was sweet of them. Menu was already laid out on our place mat. Set kaiseiki with seasonal ingredients, as you can see from the attached photo. There is a wne pairing option, but since we have been wine tasting all day, we elected to have hot Hojicha with our meals instead.The service is personal without being overbearing. It was a joy to watch our dishes being prepared in front of our eyes.My favorite of the night was the charcoal grilled barracuda with braised eggplant and sea urchin. The flavor profile in that dish is simply sublime. The smokiness of the eggplant puree combined beautifully with the char from the fish. The uni's sweet creaminess elevated the dish to a whole new level. Classic yet innovative.Another notable dish is their snapper sashimi with ground daikon, shiso leaves and soy sauce jelly. Sounds simple, but the snapper was succulent, sweet and full of oceanic flavors. When paired with the aged gelatinous soy sauce and the refreshing daikon, it became a flavor bomb.The wagyu, full of beefy flavor, was presented with okinawan sea salt, fresh ground wasabi and red miso reduction. The combinations of the meat and the condiments provided a multi layer harmony. However, due to the fried nature of the protein, we felt like we had to consume it quickly, lest it become soggy. We wish we could have savored it longer. The only dish we thought was a miss, was the steamed anago. Anago is such a sweet, delicate fish. When combined with tofu and carrots and an almost candied consume, we thought the dish became too one dimensional. Additionally, it has no texture and the dish looked unappealing once you break the eel cake.We also wished lotus chips weren't placed in the steamy bowl, as it softened them quite quickly.Overall, we greatly enjoyed our experience there.It does have a fairly high price tag, but the ingredients, the service and the ambience made the experience quite worth it.We look forward to going back to Kenzo in the future.

If you are in the mood for a very reasonable lunch menu and decent "French Vietnamese" food, this is the place to go. My gardening group selected this restaurant which I had never been to. The owners/chef formerly ran another "local" restaurant further on Pearl Street and now have taken over this location. Personally, I'm not a big fan of this type of cuisine. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the presentation and quality/taste of their food. Also, the prices are quite reasonable for Napa and this location is on the same block (on opposite side) as Napa Valley Bistro which we also discovered and loved. Most of the people in our group ordered the large bowl of Pho. I ordered an appetizer of spring rolls, made with thinly sliced prawn, mint, and peanut sauce. The combination taste was quite good and not overpowering (see photo). In addition, I ordered two side plates: sautéed spinach and bowl of brown rice (again, see photo). These sides again were simply prepared and straight forwardly tasty. My portion of the lunch tab came to just about $20.00, which was the average price for each person in our group. You can't beat it for a lunch in Napa, CA. Of course, they have a website and you can see the prices and different selections on the menu. They also serve dinner.

Dined as a couple for dinner. Eiko has both a full service restaurant and a bar area where the full menu is available. Sushi ranges from the traditional sashimi and nigiri to California fusion rolls. We sampled both and both are solid and delicious. Was nice to see chu toro and bluefin on the specials menu. Japanese and California craft beers on tap with a nice selection of bottles. Of course sake as well.
