I did a to go order. I ordered miso soup which was great but my San Francisco roll was small for a classic roll and I wasn’t given any chopsticks. I walked in for pick up, she yelled my name across the restaurant and handed it to me with zero eye contact or thanking me for my business when they were not busy at all.

It’s my first time trying sushi holic and I will never come here again. ( YOU SHOULDNT EITHER)!!!!Starting things off when I paid for my order and I’m leaving out the door The waitress stops me so I can give her a tip even though I didn’t check mark for a tip on my receipt. When I refused to tip for my order, she started demanding how could you do this? Why are you not tipping me?Was an utter shock l’ve never had anyone demand for a tip.I didn’t have the confidence to tell her the reasoning, but I hope she reads this review1. The miso soup that I received for my order wasn’t fresh.2. The sushi is overpriced for the quality that you receive.3. BE AWARE!! They will demand for a tip if it isn’t received.

First time trying salmon belly and quail! Love the wild rice option:) Everything was delicious!

We were hesitant to try this for a while because the corny name Sushiholic made me think it was an Americanized fast food version of sushi. Im glad we tried it out because weve been here many times and its easily the best sushi in Novato. Great service and a cozy, friendly atmosphere.

I usually like nigiri or sashimi but every once in a while I want some crazy roll and nobody does it quite like Sushiholic. My daughter and I have been coming here for years and they are consistent across the board. I like that there is a multigrain rice option. They are always busy, but theres never a wait. You rarely have to ask for something, they already see you need or are ready. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices.

A hidden gem. You would never know from the outside how warm and cozy this place is. And the sushi portions are huge and spectacular. Sit at the bar and watch the chefs work.

Great choices, only criticism is that the crab is krab and its in almost all the rolls. ☹️But really imaginative and good choices

I have to keep this short and sweet due to timing, but hands down our favorite sushi place in Marin. I have loved everything Ive had so far and been here with friends, family or dates over 20 times now. Super friendly and kid friendly too! Usually busy since the paper wrote them up, but worth the wait!!Pics attached of tonights yumminess.My Must haves every time:-Passion roll-Alaskan roll or sweet Alaskan-Saba nigiri-Hot mama-Futomaki

Dragged in here because of a gorgeous woman and terrible traffic. Never had this type of food before and it was pretty good with excellent service.

My go to place for authentically prepared Chirashi bowl when passing thru novato. The only thing i would recommend is cutting the fish pieces smaller to enjoy them in one bite.

This is your go to family owned business that I love to stop by every time I go on a target and Costco run. I’ve been coming here for over 15 years and it’s a staple for me! Soku and staff are so hardworking and nice—come support!

Review №13

2023-01-02 20:08:43

I love this place because the atmosphere is lovely and either casual or can be treated as nicer if you’d like. But the real selling point for me is there vegetarian dragon roll. I live in oakland now and will drive out to Novato for this roll.

So good! Fish is fresh and the chefs really know how to prepare it. By far the best sushi in Novato but it ain’t cheap. My brother and I ran up a $158 tab just for lunch but it was worth it.

2022-10-26 04:50:31

Overpriced ok Japanese food. My Saba was mostly fat and not tasty, spicy tuna was bland, chewy seaweed on my $13 spicy tuna hand roll, $19 for Ramen!, and $27 for a dinner which they tried to charge me an extra $2 for but I noticed it. Total price for a dinner for 3 $98.80 including a tip!!! Yikes! Going to Japantown next time. Now, at home rushing to the restroom over and over. I want a refund, gross!

The fish is occasionally watery but most of the time good quality. And the multigrain rice is reliably delicious.

2022-02-10 00:01:21

We stopped by for an early dinner and ordered 5 rolls between 2 of us.The shrimp didnt taste fresh, the eel was very fatty (I know eel is usually fatty, this was more than normal), salmon didnt seem to be a good quality cut and the avocados they used were still hard / not ripe.The rice was well seasoned and the service was quick and friendly.Overall, the price was on the cheaper side for the area (standard rolls around $9-10) and you get what you pay for.

High quality sushi at reasonable prices. Large variety of choices. Casual friendly service. Good parking.The tempura was light and crispy, perfectly cooked for my taste, as was the soft shell crab. I ordered the crab with spicy mayo sauce, yum.

Review №22

2019-12-27 23:29:16

This place used to be fantastic. But as of late, their service seems to get worse and worse. Its always two ladies that take care of the floor. While they used to be warm and welcoming, theyve become rude and harsh. The quality of their food is slipping as well. The teriyaki chicken seems to be fattier each time we order it. There was a time or two where it was even undercooked. We usually get their California rolls as well, as they were our favorite. But theyre coming out poorly put together.

Review №23

2018-11-27 22:10:38

One of the better sushi restaurants in Marin County. Excellent quality. Wonderful variety of sushi and traditional Japanese dishes excellent tempura. Vegetarian choices as well. Service can be a little slow but thats what you get cuz the place is always packed!

2018-09-05 09:19:02

The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and it was clean. I ordered a green salad and a spider roll. The green salad was fresh and a really good portion size. So far so good. Then the spider roll came. First it was the size of half a roll and it was really dry. I could hardly swallow it. Maybe too much rice and not enough ingredients, maybe rice was dry, I don’t know but I won’t order it again and probably won’t go back.

This is consistently fresh, great sushi. Their sashimi is outstanding, love their rolls, get the ring of fire, and 49er. Love their Toro or the tuna sampler. Great people who are always helpful and kind. We have been going there for 15 years and I think its still the best sushi in Marin!

Review №26

2021-01-29 08:44:47

This place used to be good with their food quality and portions, as well as their customer service; however they truly disappointed us tonight. Fish was very smelly and obviously spiced up to mask the taste and smell. The front end gentleman was disrespectful and did not even bother to give us chopsticks!We truly have been a supporter of small business during these difficult times, and love to see them thrive, however I do not believe SushiHolic appreciate its customers and their support. They certainly have lost our support. STRONGLY recommend Taki sushi 🍣 ! They still seem to appreciate and value their customer.

Honestly, I was skeptical of the food quality and authenticity because of the name. Gave it a chance because a friend recommended this place, and glad we did.Great service and food! Ordered the fried eggplant appetizer, rainbow roll, and salmon sashimi meal to share with my partner. A lady who worked there went around making sure every customer was satisfied with their food/experience. She even brought us an extra bowl of rice (on the house) when she noticed we were sharing the bowl of rice that came with the meal! First time Ive seen a restaurant in the bay area give out free rice! (Rice is included with non-noodle entrees at Asian restaurants where Im from-- its ridiculous that its custom to buy individual bowls of rice here!)We will be back again for another sushi date!

Sushi Holic is amazing. The best sushi restaurant in Marin County. The staff is very friendly and the sushi chefs full of experience and knowledge in this field. The fish is super fresh and the taste is amazing. One of the dishes I like the most is chefs choice. I can go on and on about this sushi restaurant. I think is one the best sushi places in the Bay Area. You are going to love it. I highly recommended this place.

2020-12-23 23:16:58

Excellent food always!!!Although I made a pick up order and one of the waitress was very rude at the pick up time. Then I had to go back to get chopsticks because I forgot to ask and she very rudely told me to pay attention on the sign notes that was saying that customers have to ask for utensils. It was not the first time that she was rude to attend.

Review №31

2019-11-28 02:34:59

We regularly go here because their food tastes great. But 2 stars because the service was not good. Got the preliminary soup and salad but no utensils. Nothing. We had to ask a totally different server. Our original server was nowhere to be seen.

Review №32

2019-06-27 20:52:53

The workers here are so racist!! Made me and my wife so uncomfortable. We are of color and they took forever to give us out order and gave our food to thr guests next to us. I will never go to support a restaurant that doesnt support races of all types. I dont care how good your food is. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect!!!

Review №33

2015-09-02 01:57:03

Might very well be the best Sushi Ive ever had period!! Fresh, soft, sweet with a choice of white or whole grain rice.Not only did they have your standard menu of Sushi, but they had the very hard to find buttery and sweet Tuna, Albacore, Yellow Tail and Salmon bellies (Toro).I also tried grilled calamari which was both filling and delicious!!!!!Well trained and authentic Sushi chefs with top notch customer service.Im from Chico CA so this is truly an unbiased review.

Lets start by saying the sushi is/was good.Everything other than that was pretty bad.I ordered several items for my family and I on a Monday afternoon for pickup. Keep in mind that we are over 6 weeks into the Covid pandemic of 20 and when I went there to pick up it was chaos. There was a SUPER-LONG wait due to the un-organized nature of the 2 people putting orders together. They were operating as 2 expos/runners and 1 was more of a manager type but it was pretty bad how they were operating that day.It was like theyve never worked together during a rush.One patron in line behind me struck up a conversation with another and I recall her saying This is funny to watch but at the same time really not funny. I want to go back there and help them. Ouch lol.One of the runners was also having a hard time processing payments through their POS system. My mind is blown right now.On a positive note, the Sushi chefs were rockin. They were doing their part and pumping out orders. Nice work fellas!One of the most unfortunate things is that we ordered Ramen for my son. This was by far the worst Ramen Ive ever had. Im not saying Im a connoisseur but Ive been eating ramen my whole life, traveled to several asian countries and its safe to say that I love all type of ramen. This was bad.The noodles were all mush due in part to the long wait. the broth was waaaay to salty and didnt really have much flavor.Ill give it another shot but Ill try off hours next time.

If youre considering ordering from this restaurant, you should know that they add a tip fee into your total with tax BEFORE calculating any additional tip you give them.Looking past that, I find myself always disappointed in the quality of their sushi in contrast to the pricing. The quality of the fish seems decent, but unless youre ordering the sashimi, anything that involves the making of sushi is done poorly with little real skill. The pieces of nigiri have an excessive scoop of wasabi with no soy sauce inside that burn up your mouth unless you drench it in soy sauce. The specialty rolls have dry overcooked fish. The unagi always has a soggy texture.Its not terrible food, but considering how pricey this place is, youd be much better off at Masa Sushi where everything is made by a real sushi chef. I doubt the chefs here behind their counter have had any extensive apprenticeship or training.

Decent. Sushi is fresh. A large collection of rolls. Nothing particularly new. A fair selection of bento and udon, if you want it. Service is friendly and good. Clean interior. I would give this a 4, but there is steep competition in the SF Bay Area for great sushi restaurants.

Review №39

2022-10-30 00:38:43

I found the food to be of disappointing quality and quantity, and the service to be slow and unfriendly. I wouldnt eat here again.

Review №40

2016-07-20 19:59:36

The sashimi lunch that i ordered looked OK, but tasted foul. Even the salmon and hemachi (usually mild tasting) had a strong walrus vomit flavors. Ive been here a bunch, and, until now, have always been impressed with the food. But the fish they served was not fresh enough to be served raw -- for flavor, if not for safety. Im seriously wondering if Im going to get food poisoning or a parasite from this meal. I guess i will not be coming back :-( hopefully i wont be in the ER later

Our favorite sushi bar in Novato. Possibly the best Sushi in Marin. Ive been a sushi fan in Marin since 1982, and this place has been our favorite since it opened. Huge slices of fish. You wont leave hungry!

The nigiri may not be as huge as the servings are at Sushi Tri, but the price is right and i love their oshinko appetizer.the rolls are super, especially the red caterpillar. the decor is in need of a makeover but the service is always attentive. spicy tuna/maguro rolls are to die for. menu has something for everyone, even those who dont appreciate sushi. did i mention there are three options for rice?
