Taki Japanese Restaurant in Novato

I loved the atmosphere and had fish swimming in a pond inside and offered outdoor seating. I would come back if in the area, but it’s pretty pricey for the portions they offer. I wasn’t the biggest fan of their pine nut prawns since it wasn’t fully covered in sauce, but presentation was great. I would get their salmon teriyaki again for sure! Sushi was average, but still a good place if you live in the area. I would love it if they had special vegetarian rolls as well, but still had good options.

Excellent outdoor dog cafe!🐕‍🦺🐕 The food was reasonably priced. Although I have had better Japanese food that was not on the menu here, my lunch with my dog was a great experience. Those brownish orange “picnic tables” are clean and colorful. The olive tree and umbrellas provide great shade. It is far away from the parking lot so no skateboards or scooters can disturb my dog. My waitress was extraordinarily happy to serve me and gave my dog a bowl of water - he actually drank it, yet he NEVER drinks out of bowls at cafes. I guess he liked the waitress too🐾🐶! That was a wonderful lunch with food to enjoy and seeing my dog so relaxed.

I would recommend this place for the vibe, atmosphere, and service. If you’re looking for good food, this place is not it. It was below average, and not worth it for the money.

Recently came back to the bay after 13 years and the food at Taki is still as good as I remember if not better. Cant go wrong with any of the food but crazy roll and a large Sapporo is my go to and still hits 🤘

We ordered sushi and sashimi. It was fresh and tasty. Daikon was a bit bitter so we did not finish it. The soft shell crab was cooked perfectly. I was not a fan of the hamachi.

Taki is one of a very few Sushi/Japanese restaurants in the Novato area. I like going here because it is a little different than Tri but has similar great qualities at the same time.This place has a very nice ambiance with the front area housing a beautiful Koi pond that will keep you and your little ones (or old ones) entertained if you have to wait for a seat.This place can get a little busy during peak hours so just keep that in mindFrom a seating perspective, the tables that are partitioned off so that you can enjoy your dinner with your company. There is also a nice traditional seating area as well as a sushi bar. On nice afternoons I love sitting outside with my family so they have something for everyone.The real reason this place is great though is the food. They have a nice selection of rolls and other items that will have something for everyone. I particularly like their special rolls and had almost all of them. My children love the Udon so everytime we go we get at least 1 order of that.Whenever youre not feeling 100%, give that a shot. Guarantee youll feel a lot better. Just get it door dashed or ask a significant other to pick it up haha.One special note that I would like to add is that they have an interesting beer that I never had or seen before. Its called Kawaba Sunrise Ale and it is Delicious!!!I would come back just for that!

Great food service and ambience!

Delicious food and great service!

Best sushi and apps around! We love the sweet potato tempura roll, and sesame chicken appetizer. Great prices and beautiful atmosphere.

We love this place primarily for their world-class BBQ eel (unagi) nigiri. Other positives their price is very reasonable and they have a few fun and delicious rolls. Id recommend going on a Tuesday for the best fish quality. We just had some salmon nigiri that was off the charts!Bonus: they also do unagi don box lunches which include a *massive* amount of BBQ eel with rice, pickled daikon, cabbage and a slice of tomato. Healthy and delicious.
