“Staff were all really nice. Food was excellent. The sushi is a bit on the pricier side and I'm not cool enough to be able to tell the difference between a $15+ roll and a $10 roll. The miso soup was probably the best I've ever had.“

“Found Sushi Tri while looking for ramen spots in Novato, but went for the sushi and wasn't disappointed. Went to dinner with our younger children(5+7), and there were other families there. Great menu selection with good prices, and quick turnaround on sushi dishes.“

“Sushi Holic is hands down one of the best sushi spots around! The sushi is always fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I usually order the salmon sashimi dinner, and it’s always fresh, flavorful, and generous in portion. Their rolls are also really good, with great variety and consistently high quality. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. I also love that the wait times are short, even during busy hours. You never feel like you’re waiting forever to be seated or served. The service is consistently great, and the quality of the food is top-notch every single time. If you’re looking for a sushi place that delivers on taste, service, and atmosphere, Sushi Holic is the place to go!“

“The Chomage miso tonkatsu ramen was terrific. Even better than when I had this dish at a highly rated ramen restaurant in Japantown. Very flavorful. not heavy or greasy.

It was nice to sit in the outdoor patio near a fountain.“

“This family-owned gem is one of my favorite spots to visit. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. There's no sense of rush or over-attention, just a relaxed and pleasant vibe.

The menu offers a great variety of options, both cooked and raw. We started with miso soup and sashimi, paired with hot sake as an appetizer. For dinner, we enjoyed the Scope Special, Spicy Tuna Roll, Spider Roll, Dragon Roll, Lucky Stars, and finished off with the Chef's Special Roll. The fish was fresh, and every dish was absolutely delicious.

My friends and I had a blast, enjoying the food, sipping sake, and catching up, all without feeling rushed. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this hidden treasure. It's the kind of place that you'll want to return to again and again.“

“Good food, good service, clean atmosphere.

The sushi was good. I wasn't a huge fan of HOW you order the all you can eat sushi. It wall just kinda came out all at once and it was hard to tell what was what. Some stuff like spicy tuna or salmon were easy or anything with cream cheese. But I suppose we could have just ordered it differently or they could have given each guest their own individual order sheet.

Yessie O took great care of us, checked in frequently, was making jokes about us ordering more even though we had more than enough, and regularly taking empty plates.

The place was clean and bright.“
