It's been my experience Novato, generally, is lackluster in the dining experience. However, with Masa Sushi, OMG they have a real winner! This is a very small restaurant so reservations are advised for both table and sushi bar dining. I highly suggest the sushi bar where you can see chef Taka create absolute masterpieces. His fish as other reviewers have said is high end. I would say his sushi rivals some of the best in SF. He will put together creations that are not on the menu, and if you have a favorite, he is happy to please. He is very creative with different sauces, condiments, seasonings, etc. that are hand crafted. Surprisingly, this is a moderate priced restaurant that offers a wide variety of selections that would surely please the most discriminating palate.

First time visiting SushiHolic, and I love it! From the minute you step into the interior you feel you're not in a large outdoor mall anymore. The place is beautifully decorated, with comfortable tables and a counter at the sushi-bar where you can eat and watch the magic happen. We were greeted and seated promptly, and given time to review the extensive menu. There are many items I haven't seen in other Japanese/sushi restaurants, so it did take a few minutes to decide. We ordered a nice variety of items, including; the sashimi salmon lunch (comes with salad and miso soup); the veggie tempura appetizer; a California roll; an Oshinko sampler (assorted Japanese pickles); and a vegetable special roll with mixed vegetables. I was asked if I wanted white rice or multi-grain rice for the roll, and I started with white rice, but the waitress kindly brought me a sample of the multi-grain rice which I really liked for its hearty texture. So I switched the white rice out, and am glad I did. If you haven't tried the multi-grain rice, ask for a sample - you may be surprised! (My lunch mate stuck with white rice - oh well!). The food came in a timely manner, and we were quickly surrounded by serving plates and smaller dinner plates. The food was very tasty, and beautifully presented. The Japanese assorted pickles were artistically beautiful as well, both in their colors and textures. I recognized carrot slivers (slightly spicy); cucumber slices and thick slices of a root vegetable, which I want to guess was a radish (daikon?). The fourth vegetable I would guess onion, it was very sweet though. All were delicious, and new to me; however, for the price ($9) and the portion size, I wouldn't order again. Still, worth a one-time try! The tempura was amazing. Light, crisp batter, and a wonderful variety of vegetables. Sounds silly, but I never find this many types of vegetables in one serving of tempura! Usually they stack the deck with starchy yams, or zucchini sticks or some other main vegetable, but this tempura had SEVEN vegetables! There were eggplant, asparagus (which I first mistook for green beans, as they were so thin!), carrot, sweet potato, squash, broccoli, and a vegetable I had to inquire about - calabash. The waitress described it as small, green skinned (which looked purple after cooking) and pumpkin like. It is a gourd, but had semi-firm and tasty flesh I couldn't place. Another new experience for me! All were delicious and plentiful, definitely a re-order on my next visit. The California roll was unremarkable, but good, and the sashimi salmon was not as - mmm, buttery - in texture as other salmons have been elsewhere. Not a re-order for the price. The vegetable roll (one of many veggie rolls offered) was delicious, with a nice variety of vegetables in a dark brownish-purple rice wrap. A nice change indeed. Overall, a very good meal, and with a couple of items we enjoyed but wouldn't re-order, there are many other items we can try next time! Service was excellent, both attentive and friendly, never rushing us and nice interactions with the 3 year old and 9 month old. A good experience all around - I encourage you to try them out.

This restaurant is getting a lot of attention, it is near the freeway so access is fairly simple, the food here is good, the parking gets harder the later it gets.People seem to flock to this place, the sushi is good and its a new addition to sleepy novato culinary scene. I say try it and decide yourself.

This is a neighborhood Japanese restaurant with quality food at a fair price. My Japanese wife and I go there regularly. It is a sit-down restaurant with attentive wait staff
