Nice discovery while looking for local Indian food. Service was excellent and the “host” recommended a nice combo for my friend and me. Variety of beer and wine added to the experience. Highly recommend for food, service and general ambiance.

We love Morinoto owner restaurants and the Ramen is by far my favorite in the San Jose area. The broth does not disappoint on the Tonkatau. The popcorn shrimp also is a favorite and served in many of his restaurants.

Fifteen of us were warmly welcomed for lunch at two tables. With a vast menu, the gluten-free person and the vegetarian at our table were satisfied. The food was brought quickly and overall was very flavorful. I enjoyed the fish with veggies. The salt & pepper tofu was crispier than I’ve had but tasty. Overall, everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
