16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Novato

“Great food…..great service….over the top….“

“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.“

“Delicious food every time we’re there and staff are always friendly“

“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.“

“great“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“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.“

“We love Fuji come here at least once a week. Nothing compares, hands down the best“

“Really top notch sushi, wonderful service and staff. We are thrilled to have found this place and will be back! Can’t wait to try some of the interesting dessert choices.“

“My boyfriend and I come here constantly. The food is amazing and the prices can’t be beat. The manager is the nicest dude ever. We come here pretty often and love the drinks here. They really made this place great after the other restaurant that was here really sucked. Out of any sushi restaurant this is the BEST one to choose for sitting in or eating out in San Rafael“

“I came here for lunch today and I was very pleased. They have a wonderful lunch menu. I ordered the roll lunch special which came with miso soup, a rainbow roll and one other roll (you can choose from 4 options). The service was fast and the waiters were very attentive. I would definitely recommend for a quick lunch option.

Vegetarian options: There was a lot of options for vegetarians. From rolls to appetizers. You can definitely find something that you'll love.“

“Convenient, fresh, beautifully put together custom orders. What’s not to like?“

“The city of Petaluma California is a great place to visit. The downtown area is sprinkled with outstanding restaurants and shops. To add to the downtown setting is the Petaluma river with shops and restaurants.
I hadn't visited downtown in awhile so we tried Kabuki sushi on Petaluma Blvd in the old Mcnear building in the old town section of Petaluma.
We had an early dinner and ordered pretty simple.
First was just a simple California roll. Pretty standard and does not differ in it's making. Second was a plate of vegetable tempura. Broccoli, zucchinis, mushrooms, slices of sweet potato. These dishes were great, the tempura cooked just right and a large portion. The California roll consisted of 8 pieces. Only complaint was they were a little small.
The last dish was a bowl of beef udon. Again great tasting, the soup had lots of beef slices and more udon noodles than I expected.
Drinks are also standard, beer, sake, soft drinks, tea hot and cold and also Thai iced coffee which was kind of odd.
Everything was moderately priced. Sushi restaurants can get pricey by individually priced items of course“
