So happy to have a top notch Sushi venue in town! The ambiance, service and food is amazing. The sushi is clean and fresh. The staff is knowledgeable about their fish. Be prepared to wait as word is out about this place! read more

From the moment I walked in I knew something was up in this restaurant. The decor is inviting, the people are glad to see you and the food is very good. This used to be a non descript mediterranean restaurant. I can't even remember the name even though I actually ate there. The space has been transformed and there's even a patio in back with mature redwood trees! Who knew. Ill be back for sure. And oh, by the way, prices are reasonable. read more

This lovely little gem is right in our backyard! Well, not literally, but a hop, skip and a jump away is a fantastic sushi spot in the Ignacio area of Novato. Right off the freeway, makes it an easy stop for some fantastic sushi. Fresh fish, fresh seaweed (important) and generous portions. Been here twice and service is a bit slow, but the food is worth it. By far, the best sushi in Novato, hands down. read more

Thank you guys love the steak an rice dish Hoping to stop by Have a great work week read more

Had a fabulous lunch here with a friend today. Lovely outside patio dining with very attentive service. The menu is extensive and the quality of the food is excellent. While the outside of the restaurant is not attention grabbing, if you are looking for a wonderful out of the fray lunch/dinner spot, this is a must try! Please give it a try, you wont be disappointed! I'm more than hopeful that this little gem survives the Covid restaurant challenges. read more

Portions are kinda small but the food is fresh and delicious. Service is quick and friendly

We've been eating here since they opened . The food is always good. We've been having the food delivered during Covid and grateful we can still have this delicious food. I have one recommendation: we love the Agedashi Tofu, but when we get it for take out, the small container of broth is not enough. When we eat it there it's sitting in the delicious broth and we need a spoon to eat it all. Can you please provide more broth so it's the same as when we are in your restaurant? There's no broth on the bottom of the container after we put it on top. Thank you! read more

Amazing! Everything is super delicious! I think is one of the best sushi places that I've been in Marin! Thanks

Sushi Tri never ceases to amaze us whenever we visit Novato. The family that runs this restaurant really knows how to turn quality sushi into a wonderful dining experience. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. We had the privilege of tasting their o-toro and chu-toro and the difference between these grades of tuna was amazing. The chu-toro was tender and delicious, then the o-toro practically melted in our mouths with a decadent flavor that we hadn't known yet in regards to sushi. In addition, the sushi boat always has a great combination of quality sushi that is often so plentiful that between two people is often difficult to finish! Kevin, Bob and Peter always do a fantastic job with the wonderful food they continue to astound us with. read more

A wonderful restaurant with fresh flavor. Fast service with accurate memories. If it is a birthday they will bring you a birthday surprise dessert. Highly recommended. read more

Sadly unimpressed. We tried to love it. Each time we return the food is less appealing than the last. The servers are really lovely, though. The young ladies serving are very sweet. The rolls are tiny, and they are EXPENSIVE! They don't use real wassabe, and the owners and staff are not Japanese. That said, Taki is still our go to Sushi stop. read more

I love sushi tri so much and I've been going there for ages so I have no idea why I never wrote a review about it! I joke to my friends that when I need spiritual healing, I go to sushi tri hah! The food is so good and the price is great! No one can beat their bento box. The sushi is also the best in Marin, the fish is always fresh and amazing!! I've been to Michelin starred sushi places, and believe me, I leave sushi tri with the same amount of joy in my soul but more joy in my bank account hah! read more

This place is run by a Chinese owner. Their food is tasty but in my opinion, is a bit too sweet. Be prepared to order 2-3 dishes for each person since you will still be hungry. Their service is mediocre. Dining outside in the little garden is a pleasant experience. read more

Firstly, the vibe is very relaxing and classy. The entire staff also was welcoming with genuine smiles and quick greetings. The menu has a ton of options and everything we tried was excellent. A huge bonus for me is that they have brown rice available. read more

It's really the best, most fresh sushi in the area. It's newer here in town but it's worth finding on Enfrente Road in Ignacio. The sushi and service are both excellent. If you love sushi and you haven't tried it, you should. read more

First time here and it's packed... for good reason! Everything was delish! Even the miso soup was lovely. I have been trying to find a good sushi joint and my search is over! Thank you! read more

Sushi Tri - Can't remember the name maybe dragon roll or Fenix roll? Either way it was good eats - Sushi Bars Near Me - Novato, California

Food was good till I saw 3 large rats climb over their fence and walk the patio in the back. I almost lost my cookies right then. I told my waitress , she acted as if it was the norm. NASTY! Then the manager came over "yeah I have heard this a few times lately, how big did You see?" Bigger girth and length of a squirrel. Gross I couldn't leave fast enough. I noticed as well the door the the kitchen had been open and remained open even after this was brought to their attention. I will definitely NOT return to this place. No matter how much I liked it before. And no, no discount on the bill either. read more

We've been going to this Japanese restaurant since it replaced the Mediterranean restaurant that used to lease the same space, Garden Bistro. Its interior is a vast improvement from Garden Bistro's interior and it still has the outdoor dining space. The owner and staff are very friendly and attentive, and service is usually fast. My wife and I come here for lunch and dinner without reservation and the longest that we had to wait to be seated was about 20 minutes (although I would highly recommend making a reservation if you have a big group for dinner on a weekend). For starter, we usually order unagi nigiri, uni nigiri, or ikura nigiri. Every now and then, we try the wagyu skewers. One issue that we have about ordering sushi for starters is that most of the time, it is not served before your main course. For the main course, if you love sashimi, I recommend sushi boat (serves two-three persons). If it's for individual order, the 12-piece or 18-piece sashimi combo would be a good alternative. My favorite is the dinner-size chirashi don. Always ask for fresh wasabi for better appreciation of sashimi. If you don't like eating raw fish, try my wife's favorite: hamachi kama (grilled yellow tail fish neck) with a cup of rice. Hot tea is complimentary but if you don't like hot tea, it has a decent selection of sake and wines. read more

Aficiando that always orders uni and ami-ebi at first and sucessive visits. Surprisingly Sushi Tri more often than not has the freshest of these two specific sushi items in Marin County. Whether it was the day that I ate there, or, their, freshness quality, if you really want to test a sushi establishment on their freshness, order these two items, If you're not enticed, then, you're not really a sushi enthusiast. read more

Food quality in highly unpredictable. Sometime it's ok. Sometimes it's downright awful. The unagi was slimy and gelatinous. On the positives, the positives the portions are huge. If you prefer quantity over quality, give this place a try. Otherwise, there are a lot of better sushi restaurants in Marin. read more

COVID times are tough which is why I didn't rate 1/5 stars... but to me the sushi just wasn't very good. Being a fisherman myself, I know that fish should never smell "fishy" if it is fresh. Our food smelled really fishy. May give it another try when the world opens post COVID. read more

Very rude female waitress when we were there last. Great food, reasonable prices and otherwise good experiences here. I just don't understand why you think you can treat repeat customers poorly? Do you understand the hospitality business??? read more

I'm delighted I gave this place another shot. I decided to eat there rather than take out and it was great. I love scallop - hand roll or sushi roll - and the quality of both was stellar. Also had salmon, tuna, tempura - thumbs up all round. Fish was super fresh, presentation was beautiful, and the beer was ice cold (perfect combo with w/sushi IMO). I've been a few times since and my experience has been consistently good. I also recommend the ramen bowl with the pork base - includes steamed egg cooked to perfection (medium yoke). Perhaps I initially caught it on an "off" night. This is now on my list of top places to eat in Novato. read more

Sushi Tri - Shrimp tempura dinner yum! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Novato, California

In a nutshell, expensive, poor service, AND poor quality. I've been here over 10 times (lunches and dinners) over the past 12 to 18 months and it seems like it's started to live off its good Yelp reviews, and has given up trying. Expensive... I don't mind paying a price for decent sushi but anything more complicated than a CA roll or spicy tuna roll is about $15. You buy 3-4 rolls and a starter and with drinks you're easily up over $100. That's OK if it's good, but... The service is poor... The service has always been a bit odd, with more than one server coming to ask did you want to order or did you want drinks, but definitely better than our last visit. I've never had to get up and ask wait staff to be served in any restaurant before. The other night I had to get up and ask to be served after sitting at a table with nothing but menus for 15 minutes, and it wasn't even that busy. I thought after a rocky start we'd be OK, but I had to get up again after they only brought one tea and one water and disappeared for another 10 minutes, and I wasn't the only one, at one point it looked like a self service restaurant with patrons getting up from their tables to ask for bills, water and help with other issues. I counted 3 "sushi chefs" (quotes as one was the owner/manager) and 4 other wait staff, and so for a restaurant this size that doesn't seem short staffed. This would be forgivable, but the quality has also dropped... The sushi quality does appear to have been on a decline for a while. I'd stopped ordering sashimi or nigiri a few visits prior as the fish no longer seemed as fresh as it once was. The rolls we ordered were of such poor quality it looked like it was the chef's first attempt at making sushi! There were patches of missing rice from the rolls and they were so loose they wouldn't even hold together so you could pick them up! The tempura was fine, but arrived with a thimble full of tentsuyu for dipping, but of course due to out service woes it was hopeless to try and ask for more. I hope they take notice of their declining reviews and do something about it, but we'll be waiting until the reviews improve until we go back. read more

Sushi Tri is a great new addition to Novato. Its is an awkward location on the 101 frontage road in South Novato. But the parking lot is huge. Once you enter the restaurant you forget you are right by the 101. There is often a wait for a table, but the waiting area is large and comfortable with two leather couches to relax on. Just put your name on the list by the door. They did a really great job with the interior decoration. Look around. This is a warm and happy and clean space with a private outdoor patio. The iunch is a bargain at $12. The sushi is reasonably priced, attractively presented and the portions are generous. The rolls have plenty of filling and minimal rice. The waitresses make you feel happy to be in their space. Now I have a sushi restaurant in Novato that I have no hesitation to dine at. ts not the kind of sushi bar where the sushi bar and chef and nightly specials is the main attraction. Instead its a sushi restaurant as a great place to go with friends or by yourself to enjoy a sushi meal of standard sushi selections or to get takeout. If you look online you will see a very appealing takeout menu with party trays. I tried to order a few trays recently but they were closed for the Chinese New Year. I have not tried sitting at the sushi bar. read more

Worst service ever. I told the guy to bring me my sushi with brown rice and the guy brings it with NO rice, they were very rude and very pushy for us to leave even though we had 10 more minutes before it closed for lunch time. It was also our first time and our last . Worst Japanese restaurant service ever Period. read more

This uses to be my favorite sushi restaurant. I would go atleast once a week with friends or my wife. I don't know what happened. Terrible service! Waitress sat inside talking to the cook. I ordered the sushi boat and asked for no salmon or tuna and was happy to pay extra. Boat came with 6 prices of Escolar and all the rest was tuna. I mentioned it and the waitress acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. Went to the restroom to change my infant but there was no where to change him. I asked if I could change him on the bench she said no. I asked where I could change him she replied with I don't know. (Required to have a changing station by law). Sorry to say but this establishment has lost its glory days. Absolutely terrible read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The sushi is great but it's the service that is magic. We have a 1yr old and came here for dinner. Our server Jolie, completely took our little man off our hands during dinner. She went above and beyond then basic expectations. It is a family atmosphere and everyone here is happy to serve. If I had more time I'd gush so much more. These people are absolutely amazing. When u find a place that treats your kids right, you go there for life! Our first cull is it earned a lifetime customer. Thanks u all for an amazing dinner night! We'll definitely be back!! read more

My boyfriend and I adore this place. The ratio of fish to rice in the rolls is spot on for our liking. The fish has always been fresh and scrumptious. Its the perfect neighborhood sushi place that offers fresh fish, TVs for giants games, outdoor dining. Never a bad experience! read more

Best Sushi in North Marin and we have tried them all more than once each. Very broad menu, very fresh, nice sized portions. My favorite is the Hamachi Carpaccio with thinly sliced jalapeño and tobiko. It's a appetizer, but I order my own and I'm not sharing.. Salmon skin hand roll is huge packed generously with salmon and skin. Yummy Nigiri Escolar is amazing as everything we've tried. Toro, quail egg oyster shooter bomb. Also, awesome selection of Napa and Sonoma wines. It's atmosphere is also pleasant. Been here 3 times now... Thanks for coming to Novato Will V read more

I was completely blown away by Sushi Tri. I am used to paying twice as much, or more, for sushi this good. Usually I find that lower-priced sushi places skimp on the fish or load everything with excess rice. Not the case here. And it was all super fresh, very tasty. Service was great. I might be making trips to Novato to hit this place again. read more

RUN!!!! DON'T EVEN TRY WASTING YOUR TIME IN THIS PLACE. Coming from a chef myself, they don't know how to make SIMPLE sushi. They are not even using the correct type of rice. The tuna/fish is good but the size of the sushi is not even bigger than my thumb and that's $10. My man's sushi order came after a few mins and it was smaller than this, not even exaggerating. It was super small and smushed. I asked one of the servers politely but she argued "It's because the fish is expensive" I said it's just too small i was wondering if they can redo it but before i finished talking she said,"do you want a cheaper one?" OMG. She was still arguing. By that point, i just cancelled it and asked for the check. The only good thing about this place is the nice male server,that's it. read more

Sushi Tri - THE MOST DISAPPOINTING SUSHI I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Novato, California

The food was amazing as well as the place it self. It had a beautiful garden outside on the patio area. I started off with the vegetable Gyoza and the lion roll and they were amazing so I ended up ordering 2 more rolls. The spicy tuna and the cucumber roll and they were fantastic as well. Also get the green tea ice cream ! Yummy read more

I was really hoping that this would be my new go to sushi spot, but it wasn't quiiiite as good as I had anticipated. When I went they were very busy, so the service was on the slower side but if you order a few rolls at a time it was fine. Their employees are helpful and do their best to communicate although not fluent in English. If they didn't know something about the menu they would ask which is nice. Their rolls were on the smaller side, and never came out quite the right temperature. (Usually you'd expect some of the fish, like unagi, to be warm, or others like raw salmon, to be cold). I would probably go back, but if someone asked me to bring them to my top favorite sushi place this wouldn't be it. read more

You wouldn't expect it at a sushi restaurant, but the Japanese chicken wings! They're a must-have--sweet, savory, garlicky, but not overbearing. I'd go for just them if the sushi itself wasn't also incredibly good. Marin has some of the best sushi options available in the bay, and Sushi Tri is no slouch even by comparison: incredibly fresh seafood, perfectly textured tempura, and awesomely attentive staff, it has it all! But its new. The real test will be if they can maintain this same level of polish a year from now. But as is, don't miss this place read more

Awesome food, good people and all I have to say fresh wasabi :) we come here all the time with the family. The staff sometimes plays with my nephew while we eat which is going above and beyond. The fish is fresh and great menu selection.... oh ya the chicken wings are amazing! Did I say fresh wasabi ;) read more

Met some friends here for dinner last night. It was ok, nothing special. The rolls my husband and I ordered were decent. We ordered our son what we thought was chicken chow mein/udon/fried rice (thats what it said on the menu) apparently it was just chow mein, no fried rice. I asked the waitress and she said its chow mein or fried rice, the menu clearly said 'and' they should fix that. Oh well. All of our orders came out separately with a wait in between. A lot of sushi restaurants do that so I won't complain too much but some may not care for the wait... I felt bad for the other couple we were with, every roll they ordered was only 6 pieces. They were sharing with their teenager so even with 5 rolls it was barely enough for all of them. They asked for a very small amount of rice with 2 slices of avocado to feed their baby. After the baby ate about half her mom noticed a paw print design on the inside bottom of the bowl, by the time she was finished she uncovered a little cat printed next to the paw prints...yep, pretty sure this place served the baby rice and avocado in a cats water bowl. Seriously? I can't speak for the parents so I'm not sure how they felt, but I know if it happened to me I'd be upset. Very odd experience to say the least... read more

The waitresses were very polite and welcoming. The restaurant was extremely clean and tidy. When I asked the waitress for a few rolls that she could recommend, she was very informative and narrowed it down by asking me what my favorite type of fish are. I was very impressed with everything. However, when I went to change my 5 month old daughter, there was no changing table. read more
