I have been sitting on a lot of photos and this review... so it's time to post! FOOD: Superb. Freshness, preparation, flavor combinations, and presentation...Trifecta is a nugget in the South Bay. I enjoyed everything I had. No complaints. I shared suggestions with them, but I was always satisfied. There are some Filipino elements infused in some dishes, but they specialize in their sushi. It's not a Cheesecake Factory menu, so they stick to their strengths. Yet, I find enough on the menu to vary my selections each time I go. They also update their weekly specials, including the dessert. (PLEASE make the ube panna cotta a permanent addition to the menu!) Cost is relative when dining out but you get quality here for what you pay for. SERVICE: Very attentive. Waiters will check in on you. Chefs will check in on you of at the counter. They can get busy at times so feel free to flag a server down if you truly need something. AMBIANCE: Chill and not annoyingly "busy" loud, if that makes sense. It's tucked away in a quiet strip mall in a nicer part of San José. Chefs may strike up a conversation when there's some down time at the counter. In this way, it's a homely, neighborhood joint. They're friendly and not too loud. Want more privacy and a quieter dinner? Choose a table. SUMMARY: Try Trifecta. I hope you will find it a pleasurable dining experience. I think you will be back. And if you want more (tuna), try their popular tuna cutting events!
Had their tasting menu $125/person and it was delicious! Really filling too you will not leave starving We did reservations (very easy) and was seated right away. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Loved the vibes and twinkling lights. Although you could definitely come for a more casual experience this place would be perfect for a special occasion such as birthday dinners or date nights. The tasting menu was 100% WORTH IT!' It. Came with so many delicious appetizers and entrees. It is chefs choice so you won't know what you'll get but here are some pictures attached of what we got By far my friend and I enjoyed the cod and Kare Kare! Service was amazing. Staff kept checking in to see if we were done or if we needed anything. Super attentive. Would definitely come again
Trifecta sits up in the south hills near Silver Creek, tucked into a pleasant little neighborhood strip mall with a spa, a dojo, and a few eateries. It feels a bit more upscale and artistic than most sushi spots in the area, with a very nice atmosphere and a relaxed, date-night kind of vibe. Probably not a Tuesday dinner visit due to the price. Parking was easy. Service, though, could use some polis. Once seated, everything moved at a crawl, from ordering, to food arrival, to drink refills, and the staff came across a bit cold. We kept it simple with a Japanese curry cutlet meal and a kaisen don. The cutlet had a crisp coating and a mild, comforting curry, a cozy dish even if it didn't knock my socks off. The kaisen don was colorful and fresh, with a good variety of fish and a nice balance of textures. Definitely good, just not the most memorable version I've had. Not a five-star visit this time, but I could see it getting there on a better night.
Trifecta Sushi absolutely exceeded my expectations. I tried the Trifecta Roll and it was AMAZING -- perfectly balanced flavors, super fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. Their nigiri was some of the freshest I've had in a long time, you can really taste the quality of the fish. The service was also top tier. Everyone was so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself had a great atmosphere and everything came out quickly without feeling rushed. Definitely one of my new favorite sushi spots and I'll 100% be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh sushi, great service, and an overall amazing dining experience!
Trifecta is one of my top sushi places in the Bay Area. This place exceeds my standards for quality sushi, premium cuts of fish, delicious one of a kind drinks and it has a laid back atmosphere especially on a Thursday or Friday nights when I've gone there. I've been there at least 5 times within the last 6 months and it doesn't disappoint. The attentive waiters like Michael who come and greet you and check on you multiple times and always makes sure after every order to check on you again. I feel very spoiled when I'm there because you're catered to in a fine dining restaurant like you're supposed to. You can't go wrong with anything. I went a little overboard for my birthday and had a special menu it had one of the most flavorful selections of fish with the pairing of the umami sauce that was mind blowing *chef's kiss* . What I really enjoyed about this place is a mom and pops and it is family owned. I love that I was able to meet the mom and her two sons. They work so hard and work so well together. I totally appreciate that vibe and how intimate you can get with a chefs.
I had really high expectations and unfortunately, we had a really tough experience. However, I'm hoping we came on an off night and look forward to going back and giving it another try. We came on a Friday evening and had a reservation. They were medium busy, but service was really rough. We waited 20+ to wave down a waitress to order. After our food came, we didn't see a waitress again until we got up to finally ask for a check. I'm patient, but this was not the experience you pay for here. The couple next to us had to get up 3-4 times to flag someone down. Now the food was good - we had a sashimi plate and a few rolls. Their side salad was also soooo good. The fish all tasted fresh and had good flavor combos. Pricey, but worth it for good quality sushi.
We went here last weekend to celebrate early Mother's Day Saturday night. We had a reservation for 6 people at 6:30 and there was a bit of a wait still even with our reservation. However, once we were finally seated, our waitress was very attentive and accommodating. We ordered the yellowtail crudo, scallop carpaccio, smoked hamachi tacos (not pictured), toro/ hamachi/zuke umi masu sashimi, short rib kare kare, miso black cod, uni mentaiko carbonara, and firefly squid. All of the fish and squid were extremely fresh, probably the freshest I've had in a long time. The Toro and Zuke Umi Masu (Ocean Trout Belly) were perfectly fatty. My favorites were the smoked hamachi tacos (the gyoza shell was a nice and delicious surprise), uni mentaiko carbonara, and firefly squid (which were so cute and tiny! Also super fresh). The pasta for the uni carbonara is made in house and it had a really good flavor and texture Would definitely go here again!
The service was fabulous, attentive, knowledgeable and courteous. The food wasn't very good. Chowanmushi cost $20 and I expected a bowl of soup, not half a cup for that price! Bothe sushi rolls had the same snow crab/avacado filling with almost no fish. Rolls were $26 and $25, were small and definitely not worth the price! Tasted very bland and the rice was chewy and not normal sushi rice. Corn ribs were tasty and the appetizer was ok. Plenty of parking and seating atmosphere was nice.
Came in on a Saturday night and was greeted right away. Once we were seated, we noticed how homely and relaxed the atmosphere and decor was inside. They had pretty lights that were dim but not too dim that we couldn't see our food or read our menus. Once we were seated, our waiter graciously offered to go through the menu with us and gave recommendations on their popular items. We went with the uni mentaiko carbonara and 2 rolls. Starting with the uni mentaiko carbonara, the sauce was thick, creamy, and has great flavor. Neither the uni or the mentaiko was too overpowering. The noodle dish itself does not contain uni and you would have to add an extra $15 if you would like fresh uni on top. The 2 rolls we had were the faithful roll and the body roll. We loved how they had their own unique rolls which definitely made them stand out from other sushi restaurants. The faithful roll is a little lighter and creamier than the body roll but still good. Our personal favorite was the body roll which had chimichurri sauce on it?! What is this, a steak restaurant?! Never seen that before and it worked out! The sauce was a nice touch and great addition to the fresh sushi. The best thing about this place and you can clearly tell they use high quality fish for their rolls that literally melts in your mouth. Hopefully this place stays open for a while because the area it's in is a pretty quiet neighborhood and restaurants are known to close down in that area.
We had the $125 tasting menu, so this rating is more focused on that particular menu option. It's stated to be 8 courses including dessert. The first two courses were edamame and these deep fried seasoned split corn cobs. The edamame was fine, though because they were seasoned in a spicy oil, your choices were to eat them with chopsticks if you had a dexterous mouth, or fully commit and get your hands oily. I opted for the chopsticks, but as a result maybe got 3/4 of the beans and some bean skin - not easy for me to eat. The corn cobs were a little weird. It was like halfway between eating conventional corn on the cob and eating a BBQ seasoned corn nut. Okay, but honestly the first two courses were barely courses and not elevated in any way. Third and fourth were a tuna crudo and a raw fish mini taco. The crudo was really good - tuna was fresh and seasoned well. The taco was small - like two bites worth (or one big bite), but good also. These were legit courses. Five was a king salmon filet in a ginger soy sauce. It was good, but it was strange in that there were three of us and this came on only two plates. The one plate to be shared wasn't twice the size of the single and a salmon filet isn't an intuitive thing to split and share. The way we were situated wasn't such that I was even sharing with my wife. It would have been much better to ask - "we usually put a double sized portion on a single plate for two people to share - is that okay or would everyone like to have their own plate?" Simple question and would have made everything less awkward, because once it's out there and served, you feel like the difficult customer if you say "excuse me, can you plate this separately?" Next (six) was the nigiri course, which was awesome. Very tasty. Course was small though: 4 smaller nigiri, one uni spoon, and one thin piece of tamago cake. No complaints on quality/taste though. Seven was a uni carbonara udon dish, which tasted pretty good, but I again found it a little strange. And no visible uni, so it was must have been subtly in the sauce. At least a bit of uni on the top would have been a nice touch. Again, two people sharing one plate of noodles - awkward. When you have discrete pieces of ahi crudo where you can neatly pick your pieces, great. But salmon filet and udon noodles - no. Eight was a kind of ice dessert - it was fine and really none of the tasting menus really get dessert right. So was it worth $125, no, unfortunately it wasn't. Four of the courses were good and on par, we can forgive the dessert, but three of them didn't really meet expectations. However, if you ordered $125 worth of stuff you liked off the main menu, I can see how this would be a nicer meal. We were hoping for a course with the wagyu, but maybe that's too much to ask at this price point. The seasoning overall was more overt and forward. Not overseasoned, but you tasted the seasoning more than the main component of the dish. Kind of the opposite approach of another more expensive omakase we tried where everything was very subtle and you could focus on appreciating the quality of the ingredients. The place is casual, not fancy, and decorated like a fairly casual walk in place. The service was excellent and very polite. So giving this 3 stars due to some of the questionable courses, rather strange communal plating choices, and it not really being worth the price. But I do believe this is actually very likely a four star restaurant that we just misaligned on for some things - that makes it hard to just assign 4 stars when your specific experience wasn't that level. But all that being said, I'd come back and order off the main menu and I expect that I'd probably enjoy everything I ordered myself.
We've been meaning to try this place since the "check, please! bay area" episode! I'm an advocate of eating local and finding the secret gems in your own backyard! So imagine my amazement when that particular episode mentions the hidden gem located in San Jose! We arrived and were asked to wait for our table to get cleaned, and we said no worries since I understand the place was busy. I wasn't too much of a fan of the seating we were given. I am plus size so I was hoping for the bench seating but alas we got a two-seater table by the twinkling lights. (Which are a nice touch but I suffer from migraines so I made sure to sit with my back to them) I wish I had spoken up sooner so maybe on the next visit; but as soon as we said we were doing the tasting menu- I feel like service should've suggested a bigger table (I only say this because one of the servers kept making it a point that there was no space on the table for the food or the sake bucket) Service, overall was good; there was one young lady with a braid that was less than enthusiastic and seemed to be on autopilot but I am reasonably understanding and I'm comparing service to the young man who initially helped us decide on the tasting menu and Nicole (name on receipt; was wearing a white hairclip) who was friendly and enthusiastic about the food! For every dish served she would provide her favorites or an interesting factoid. The young lady with the braid, also mentioned something about the bartender not being around thus no cocktails... I only mention these things because the restaurant would benefit from a little more training in finesse when delivering information to their guests. Though we were bummed there were no cocktail available, we settled on a sake bottle (they maintained cold in a champagne bucket of sorts) and i eventually had one glass of red wine that I paired with their short-rib kare kare. As mentioned earlier, we chose the chefs tasting menu at $125 per person and we felt it was well worth it! I believe it was about 8 courses; 1. Salad with minimal dressing and I mean that as the highest compliment! My non-veggie eating husband ate the salad up; the seaweed was perfect enough! 2. Lumpia was filling and complimented the salad. 3. I believe it's chawanmushi topped with the most devine scallop and edible flower (I wish I could've had more!) 4. From their a la carte menu; Bluefield tuna chili garlic, the perfect midpoint! 5. Also, from their a la carte menu; smoked hamachi tacos, I want to go back just for these, especially on a warmer day! 6. Plate of nigiri, I cant remember 6 or 7 pieces (not pictured! Oops!) and we learned those were on the a la carte menu too and we will definitely come back for those! 7. Short rib kare kare from their menu as well and my goodness! Soooo tender! All you need are chopsticks! And the eggplant! My goodness they had me considering whether I enjoyed the veggies or the short rib more! 8. The perfect finale! Ube panna cotta with like a strawberry compote! Perfectly light and perfectly balanced in sweetness! Overall a true hidden gem in San Jose!!!
Came here for date night and absolutely loved it. From the outside, we were unsure of our choice as trifecta is located in a strip mall and the sign is falling off. Don't let the looks fool you - this place is fantastic! We were originally going to get the tasting menu but ultimately decided to order several dishes instead. The wagyu gyoza was like nothing I've ever had before - so yummy. The yellow tail app was delicious and had a salsa verde on it mixing both Japanese and Mexican flavors. The sashimi platter and chirashi platter both had wide selections. The fish is SO FRESH. There wasn't one thing we had that was bad. The skin on the dry aged salmon was crisped to perfection. Service was fantastic. We had multiple servers but they all took care of us really well. The head chef came by our table and introduced himself which was such a treat. They told us all about their tuna cutting night they have once a month - we can't wait to come back to experience!
I emailed the team to place and order and got a reply within the hour. They did a good job providing the info. This was order for pick up so I can't say anything about the ambiance. The tray was $450 as listed on their site, but for the number of items listed, I expected a larger tray. For 6 adults and 3 kids, it wasn't enough to fill up. We ended up ordering more sushi from somewhere else. The tray had sashimi, nigiri, and rolls, all pretty small bite size pieces. It was hard to tell what was what, but based on descriptions I believe everyone really liked the Trifecta roll. The sashimi didn't seem the freshest, but it was a 40 min drive from pick up so benefit of the doubt it was partially from sitting in the car. It was worth a try and I think there are other options in San Jose for sushi platters at a better price or quantity.

This family-owned gem stands out for its exceptional service and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond, offering friendly, helpful recommendations when we asked for suggestions. I brought a friend here for her first visit, and we started with the oyster shooters and smoked hamachi tacos--both were incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. Next, we tried the Faithful Roll, which was by far my favorite of the night--perfectly balanced with sweet and tangy notes. To finish, we enjoyed the beautifully presented sashimi set, featuring large, fresh slices that were almost too pretty to eat! The quality of the food is definitely worth the price, and the restaurant itself is thoughtfully designed. The staff's friendliness and attention to detail made our experience even better. Be sure to make reservations in advance--can't wait to come back and try their brunch menu next! read more
Came here for my mom's birthday. She recently moved to the evergreen area and it is kind of inconvenient compared to south San Jose which was closer to other areas of south bay with more food options. When I saw Trifecta on the map I was excited to see quality sushi. I was surprised to find out they don't have an omakase menu even though some reviews looked like there was one and the website looks like they have one? But we ordered a la carte per recommendation of our server. The drinks came out a bit slowly with our first appetizer of the toro toast. Not sure if they're understaffed because we and 2 other groups were the only ones there. I got an ume sour which I really liked. The toast was okay. We got 5 pieces of nigiri, as well as miso cod and wagyu. The sushi was buttery and soft. The cod melt in your mouth. The presentation and quality of Wagyu was perfect. Would absolutely return with the rest of my family; I wasn't sure there was enough non-sushi options for them that are good but I would absolutely love to return to try more things on the menu. read more

I recently visited Trifecta for my anniversary and opted to sit at the bar. Every dish I tried was great however, the portions were quite small considering the prices. Trifecta Oyster ($28): Includes six oysters with assorted toppings: two with sweet shiso, two with wasabi salsa ponzu, and two with yuzu chili garlic. I enjoyed all of the assorted toppings, and the oysters tasted fresh. Toro Toast ($12): The toasts are small but full of flavor. The mini toast provided a satisfying crunch, the toro was delectably melt-in-your-mouth, the truffle notes were subtle yet delightful, and the yuzu kosho added a perfect touch of enhancement to all the flavors without overwhelming them. Faithful Roll ($24): Loved the taste of the honey yuzu truffle, it was subtle but delicious! Kaizen Don ($60): The highlight of the evening for me! I loved being able to taste different types of fish and create my own customized hand roll. Plus, the presentation of this dish was spot on! Overall, the food is of good quality and shows promise, though there is room for improvement in portion sizes. I'm looking forward to return and experience their Omakase, especially after hearing excellent reviews about it. read more

Where do I even begin.... This place exceeds five stars, and I think I ascended to heaven. I was happy dancing in my seat the whole meal (good music too may I add). The rate at which the garlic edamame were consumed needs to be measured; I'm sure it's a world record. Absolutely no notes on anything; the fish was so fresh and buttery I could cry. This magic powder was sprinkled upon my unagi roll, which added a fragrant aroma and was a unique addition. Food came out quickly as well. There was a mix up with my order but I don't even care. I wish I took more pictures, but I ate everything immediately. Thank you trifecta, I will happily return read more

[Food] Grand Opening Day - Trifecta Oyster ($28): Comes with 6 oysters with different toppings including 2x sweet shisho, 2x wasabi salsa ponzu, 2x yuzu chili garlic. My fav is definitely the sweet shisho followed by the yuzu chili garlic. - Toro Toast ($12): The pictures make them look small but it's filled with a blast of flavors! The mini toast was crunchy, toro delicious and melts in your mouth, the truffle was subtle, but the yuzu kosho really enhances all the flavors without being overpowering. - Faithful Roll ($24): Originally when I ordered this, I thought it would be on the sweeter side because of the mango salsa but was pleasantly surprised at how well balanced all the flavors are. The honey yuzu truffle was subtle but delicious! The only con was that the roll was pretty small. Would love if they made the roll just slightly bigger for more of a bite per piece. - Zuke Nigiri 2pcs ($12): Marinaded ocean trout belly was fatty and flavorful. - Sawara Nigiri 2pcs ($16): Spanish mackerel was surprisingly fresh and light! - Chu Toro Nigiri 2pcs ($15): Medium fatty tuna was so delectable! Flavorful and melts in your mouth making you crave for another one! - Miso Black Cod ($20): Wow amazingly tender and flavorful! I also really appreciate the good amount of sautéed spinach beneath the cod. The sauce definitely left me speechless. Would order again! - Chicken Wing Yakitori ($10): Comes with 2 wings. I got this outside of the restaurant as there were two gentlemen cooking yakitori which I thought would be offered on the menu in the restaurant but wasn't. I was told this was a test run they do from time to time and I really hope they keep yakitori on their permanent menu! Chicken wing was tender and juicy! I definitely wanted another one! [Service] - Friendly, helpful, attentive - The first batch of food we ordered came out pretty fast but the last order we made for a few nigiris took a bit longer than expected, but I can definitely overlook that since it's their grand opening and I'm sure they have a lot to do and on their minds. Confident they can better over time as I would definitely come back for their delicious food and warm customer service (: [Ambiance] - Has table and bar seating - Clean, fun & modern atmosphere [Overall] - Would 100% come back! - My favorites so far are the Trifecta oysters, Miso black cod, nigiris, and the chicken yakitori. - Next time I definitely want to make reservations to try out their omakase read more

This review is for Trifecta's Sushi Making Class experience! I didn't entirely know what to expect going into the class because my friend Gabby took care of the reservation, but we made it for a Monday night at 6pm. The class takes place in-restaurant at the bar. They had our stations fully set up with the ingredients we'd be using throughout the night as well as the tools and a menu for drinks if we wanted to add anything to our experience. We opted to stick with water. As we waited for all parties to arrive, we were served 3 yummy appetizers. Last one was a pork belly skewer and it was my favorite. We made 3 rolls and 1 hand roll. Including Trifecta's sushi rice, snow crab, salmon, scallops, shrimp tempura, and more. It was $80pp which to me is a great deal. You can eat your rolls after you make them but they also give you to-go containers at the end of class for what you cannot finish. I thought this was a fun way to enjoy my sushi. Makes for a great date or group activity. read more
Recent visit to Trifecta, what can I say, only good things. The establishment is quickly picking up traction for good reason, the service is phenomenal and the food is otherworldly. I cannot praise this place enough, Bradley the sushi chef, Anna our server really made this time around an amazing experience. read more

I am so happy to have this solid sushi restaurant in my neighborhood! Evelyn and Mike took care of my boss and me over a working dinner. They were attentive with making sure our waters were filled and checking up on us just enough. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. And now for the star of the show...the food! Food came out in a nice flow. I like light and flavorful food in which they did not disappoint! We ordered many items from the Happy Hour Menu (usually comes in three pieces)...mostly cold plates. Presentation was beautiful! Prices were reasonable (go during Happy Hour so you can try more dishes) and the taste was right up my alley. Memorable dishes: - Miso butterfish (black cod) - light, flaky, could have licked the plate with that sauce - scallop sashimi - light, flavorful, refreshing - oysters on half shell - solid, fresh - kaizen toast (toro toast)- nice one biter - yellowtail crudo - light, flavorful, refreshing - faithful roll - balanced flavors, solid roll - Hon Maguro Chili Garlic Passes (trying to lose weight so not much of a carb person so it's not necessarily not good, just not my cup of tea right now): -Rock shrimp - it was okay, kind of a candied flavor -Pork belly rice - pork belly was overcooked and the blend wasn't for me - hamachi taco - the shell was oily to me I want to go back already as I'm craving dishes and haven't even explored the nigiri. This will be my "Cheers" (the show) place. I can't wait to take my husband here! *made up names for some dishes and unable to edit the names with the pics, sorry! read more
My girlfriends took me and another friend here for our birthdays. We made a reservation in advance. It was about 2 wks after the grand opening. It's a small and intimate restaurant right next to the Silver Creek Market, and the entrance is on the side. We were seated in the front section, which pretty took up the space there, leaving just a couple of tables for parties of 2. FYI, there is no soda here. One of my gf was very disappointed but they accommodated us by letting us bring in a coke from the market next door. They make the first pour on drinks for you, which I thought was very nice. Most of the dishes are small, like tapas style shared between the 8 of us. Some dishes were really good that we ordered a 2nd. We ordered the following. 1. Garlic edamame, small bowl: a little soft but very good garlic flavoring. 2. Toro Toast: It's a mini bite-size teaser but very good! Love the hint of yuzunas you chew on it. Didn't taste the truffle, thoufh. 3. Yellowtail crudo: not spicy at all but very flavorful. Sushi tasted very fresh. 4. Smoked hamachi tacos: Mini tacos but quite bland. Unique idea for a dish. 5. Hon maguro chili garlic: Chilled tuna with a pickled flavor sauce. Wasn't a good combo for me. 6. Croquettes: A yummy dish, but the sauce is very thick and too sweet for me. I would prefer the sauce be a drizzle or come on the side sauce. I couldn't taste the flavor of the croquette. However, the croquette has a nice crunch to it. 7. Trifecta oysters: Very plump and very chilled Miagi oysters come with 3 side condiments to eat with. The chili crisp and wasabi one not spicy. I didn't try the 3rd one, but we all loved the oysters. 8. Baked snowcrab hand roll: Rolled with rice paper. Has various textures, but I tasted the crunch mostly, and there is a hint of spice. 9. Smoked Hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar): Nothing about it set it apart from other hamachi Kama I've eaten. 10. Shashimi platter: Fresh sushi. 11. Faithful sushi roll: OMGosh! Super good. Totally taste the truffle, and it's not too that it overwhelms the roll. We had to order a 2nd for the other girls to try, and I had to eat a 2nd piece. 12. Miso black cod: Not fishy, and sauce is very good. Love the tanginess. Good balance. 13. Wagyu toban: It has a crispy bottom. The rice is very buttery, and the waygu was not cooked evenly but works out as some friends prefer well done over medium rare. Rice cooks just right. Not under cooked or overcooked. Delish, though. 14. Chicken toban: Rice and soysauce chicken w/ lemon grass. A few of my gfs like this dish better, but I prefer the wagyu toban better. However, the chicken is moist but not as flavorful. The servers are very nice and attentive to clean up the tables and refill water as needed. Since there was a recent grand opening, the restaurant got busy quickly once we arrived for our 6pm rsvp. The drinks came out fast, and the food took a little time, especially with the hot dishes. We waited even longer for 2 desserts. The Ube cheesecake was alright. It's a little dry. The Pannicotta is a thick creamy with sorbet ice cream that tasted a little on the saltier side. Overall, it is a yummy dinner with good service. I would return in the future with hubby. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner and everything was amazing!! When I came here, I initially thought we were doing omakase, however, we were told that they only serve omakase on Sundays so we just ordered everything separately! The staff were friendly and the chefs were so sweet! Everything we ordered was amazing, I highly recommend this place! I was surprised by how packed it was on a Thursday evening. The oysters were so delicious that we had to order another round of them! Would definitely come back! read more

Hi Th B,…

Went to trifecta for the first time to celebrate a birthday--we've been wanting to try this spot and had an eye on their omakase but decided to go for their regular days first. Fish quality was a 9/10, their trout and tuna are super delicious + buttery, but the scallop and other fish in the sashimi set weren't our favorite. Faithful roll is a roll I would order again, the yuzu/citrus sauce on top tied the whole roll together. Their miso soup was delicious (a good restaurant has good miso soup in my opinion), and their yuzu wasabi oyster was a favorite, but we weren't fans of the other flavors. The toro toast wasn't a favorite of ours, we personally thought the toro was too fishy, even with the sauce on top. I saw good reviews of the rock shrimp so I had to order it, but it was too salty for our liking so we couldn't finish it. I'm looking forward to coming back next time for the omakase, also to come back on a regular day for the miso soup and the ikura/salmon and rolls + drinks! The prices are affordable, even with the luxurious/fancy ambiance and amazing + top tier service. Overall was a 4/5 :) read more

Delicious bites of all sorts! This small restaurant packs a big punch. A surprising menu featuring your favorites, like sushi, oysters, edamame, etc.. but made in ways that's more than 'getting the job done'. Excellent choice if you're a foodie who appreciates bites of heaven. And of course, service was wonderful to top off the experience. read more

I was craving sushi with my significant other and found a new place in the Silver Creek Valley Plaza, which is very close to where I live! What makes this place more interesting is that Trifecta is a Filipino-Japanese restaurant. The interior was clean and modern, but a little cramped. My experience so far is very unique! The service on the other hand was a little slow, but they were very accommodating! For our starter, we got the smoked hamachi tacos (5/5). What makes it good is their sauce, which is the yuzu truffle vinaigrette. It has a mixture of sweet and sour taste. The price itself is fair due to how expensive the ingredients they use. For our main dishes, we got: Trifecta roll (5/5). The trifecta has a strong sweet taste from the unagi sauce, which doesn't require soy sauce. Spicy tuna roll (3/5). I expected the spicy tuna to be spicy but did not taste any spicy hints. It is just mushed tuna. That doesn't stop me from liking it since the shiso helps enhance the Vietnamese spring roll flavor and texture. Mufasa roll (5/5). The sauce that was included in the dish was super delicious. It has a very unique taste rather than using soy sauce. Overall, I would come back to try out their other dishes and invite some of my friends! read more
I can't even emphasize how excited I am to finally having a sushi spot like trifecta in our neighborhood. Finally after growing up and living here for the last few decades we don't have to drive more than 20 mins for delicious elevated sushi! The staff truly makes the ambiance into a warm - homey - feeling with a fine dining spice! My mom and I came during the week but we're hoping to do a tasting menu (which they do on Sundays and we can't wait to come back to try). They were amazing and curated one for us based off of what we enjoy! First things first - 10/10 recommend getting the oysters ~ probably some of the best I've had! They way they intricately curated the complex but tasty fixings to complement the oysters had my taste buds in heaven :) All their dishes are so adventurous bringing in a fusion twist and executed very well! read more

Long overdue review... Let me start off by saying.. this was a great Omakase experience! High top bar seating, great music, and just good vibes overall! We booked "our secret omakase experience " in the month of December. Chef Ryan, Bradley, and Jason - they educated us on each dish we tasted and gave us the reason for their twist on the dish. This is amazing, rare omakase experiences are you able to interact with the chefs thay actually prepare your meals. Thanks guys for the Omakase experience! It was a wonderful way to end 2023. I look forward to your Grand Opening in 2024! Menu speaks for itself read more

i feel so sad to post this review as i had been following trifecta for so long and was so happy that they actually opened a physical space. i have to say that i was so disappointed with the food. of all the dishes we ordered, oysters were actually the best. nigiri did not taste good with too much "soy sauce" flavor on the fish itself and on the rice. also didn't like the hamachi kama, the texture of the smoked hamachi was too "slippery" and the essence of the hamachi collar meat texture was lost. trifecta roll was really mid....and unfortunately our toast (i think it has hamachi n tuna?) was all but sirarcha taste. i did really appreciate the wait staff taking notes after asking about our experience. i don't know if it was a one off day but my friend and i were just in disbelief that the beloved sushi place we have been following turned out to be like this - felt like it looked nothing like what we saw online. aiyayaaa.... read more

My bf found this place on Yelp and took us here for our anniversary. Safe to say this was unexpectedly our favorite sushi spot in San Jose! And that says a lot because I crave sushi almost everyday lol. The service was great, our waters were refilled when needed, orders came out in a timely manner, and friendly staff who were accommodating and had good recommendation. What we appreciated most about this spot is that the chefs' attention to detail and culinary creativity. The elements of fusion in some of the dishes were refreshing and uplifted the flavor to a whole new level (like for example the ube tamago in the kaisen don is genius, and so delicious). What we got: - Sashimi set: the chef included red snapper, a premium fish he usually doesn't include. It was our first time trying red snapper and it was so tender and clean tasting. the presentation of the fish was beautiful too. - kaisen don: assemble your own handroll with toasted nori sheets, ube tamago! Comes with a selection of snow crab, ikura, scallop, ocean trout, and toro. The seafood is top quality, no fishy taste at all. - toro toast & kaisen toast: we didn't expect the size but it wasn't bad. my bf liked the toro toast a lot but these dishes personally didn't stick out to me. - shishito peppers: whatever sauce they used on the peppers made it so addicting. probably the best shishito peppers i've had so far. - tacos: not pictured bc the camera did not eat first. but sooo good. the wonton shells made it crispy but weren't too oily. - lastly, before we left, the chef gave us a complimentary dish. I think he said it was otoro (or some part of the tuna) topped with chili crisp and fish sauce. I'm probably missing other ingredients but it was a great way to end the meal. We'll definitely be back :) read more

Trifecta is an amazing restaurant. Everything we tried was so fresh and flavorful with an amazing presentation. The customer service was warm and friendly nurtured by a family owned business which made you feel welcomed as soon as you set foot in the door. We were able to interact with two fabulous chefs who put a lot of thought and care to each dish they prepared which presented itself with every bite. I cannot wait to be a returning customer to be able to experience many of the other dishes that caught my eye. read more
