Trifecta

Came by for a Sunday evening dinner...no reservation and sat the bar directly. Two of us ordered: sapporo 22ml (large bottle) $12 smoke hamachi tacos $15 scallop carpaccio $23 sashimi set (dinner) $55 kaisen don $60, crab on the side yellowtail crudo $23 umi masu (ocean trout sashimi) $16 Overall, the food and flavors were good. In my eyes, a bit on the pricier side for the portions and quality. Definitely, could have gone without the hamachi tacos. Easy parking in the plaza.

This is hands down by far one of the best sushi places in all of San Jose. The blend of melt in your mouth flavors and the super welcoming atmosphere has made Trifecta my go to spot for great vibes and great eats. The family that owns/runs this place are great people, and they (and the staff) make you feel like you are extended family the minute you walk in. The chef team at Trifecta is ultra-creative, and every time we go in there there is always something new to try. Your tastebuds, and friends and family, will thank you for taking them there - especially if it is on a Thursday when the live DJ is spinning. Just tell them what you want, and they'll definitely make it happen... FWIW, my wife is a vegetarian, and some of the sushi they have made for her is absolutely stunning (she is a super picky veggie). Give it a try if you're looking for a top notch sushi venue in the South Bay!

We recently celebrated our anniversary at Trifecta, and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and genuinely excited to make our evening special.The highlight of the night was the chef's out-of-menu course meal, a personalized culinary journey that was truly a work of art. Each dish was a delightful surprise, showcasing incredible skill and creativity. The sushi was a testament to freshness, with every piece melting in our mouths and each flavor perfectly balanced.The sake pairings were thoughtfully chosen and complemented the meal beautifully. We ended the evening on a high note with their exquisite matcha cheesecake, a delicate and creamy dessert that was the perfect palate cleanser. This was more than just dinner; it was an experience that we will cherish. Thank you, Trifecta, for making our anniversary so memorable.

Phenomenal establishment. Great service. Very friendly staff. And the food is top notch. It's much more than the traditional sushi experience. They add their own twist and it works wonders. Kudos to Ryan and his brother for a great experience. Do yourself a favor and order the Chef's Choice and they'll do the rest.

The Oma case dinner at Trifecta Japanese restaurant was a soothing journey of flavors. Each course was beautifully crafted, balancing freshness and artistry. The atmosphere enhanced the experience, making it both relaxing and memorable. S perfect escape into refined Japanese dining.

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.

Trifecta review We’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Trifecta’s pop-up omakase events during their early years. So we were excited to finally try their first restaurant hoping that the quality would live up to the standard of their pop-ups. Happy to say that it delivered. We were super pleased with all the dishes we ordered. And we had just got back from Japan! This place is definitely a level above what your typical neighborhood sushi restaurant is at. The ocean trout is always a must. And the sake bottles were priced very reasonably for a restaurant. Bar seats are always fun if you want to be closer to the action. Family owner, original menu, nice service, easily recommended by us.

OMG ... what an amazing meal ... We tried the Sesame Expresso Sake. Highly recommend I'd you like coffee !!! Wow and the sesame cookie is to die for. They make them in-house. 100% great experience!!!

I like food and its good : ) juliette vincent and erik gave phenomenal service. made the dining experience a real experience.

My partner and I came here for our anniversary, and it was such a nice experience! The place has a chill, welcoming vibe -- great for a date night. The sushi was super fresh and really tasty. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth trying at least once. The staff were super friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We'll totally be back for another special night!

Food was good but service is bad and I dont get why they couldn't own up to their mistake. We came in today around 6pm sat at the bar with my daughter. There was 4 of us. We ordered 2 miso and hamachi kama with a side of rice for ny daughter in hopes it comes out first. We took awhile maybe 10 minutes to order the rest of the food with the chef. Our food started coming out and I noticed oh no miso soup ok. I guess food comes out when they are ready. Thats fine. A hamachi comes out and they gave it to two older ladies who are regulars but came 10 minutes after us. OK I guess thats fine even though we ordered ours first. Luckily my daughter was able to entertain herself and also enjoyed the seaweed from the Kaisen donburri. We finished eating and order another roll asked for an update and the chef proceeds to ask someone to check on it. We never heard back ok. Another hamachi comes out and they server walked over so I thought it was for us but she walked past us and dropped it off to the same two older ladies. I made eye contact with ine of the ladies for an awkward moment they hesitated eating it and after a minute they decided to go ahead and eat it. After 5 minutes maybe more im not sure passes by some random server comes by and asks if we were waiting for a hamachi kama. We told him yes and a side of rice. Mind we already finished eating at this point. We waited forever again. The chef asks if everything is good at one point we said yeah. The server guy comes and gives us the food. We asked him to put it in a Togo box. We were probably there for over an hour and a half already by the time we got that hamachi kama. We asked for the check and the server nods. He proceeds to go take care of other tables, comes by a few times and never gave us our check. We asked the chef for our check and he tells the servers. We waited another few minutes before someone actually came and allowed us to pay out. No one ever acknowledged their mistake or apologized. Never offered anything only stressed and talking amongst themselves after realizing they messed up. So disappointed. I dont know if I will ever come back. Sure food is good but how can they handle it like this. We were nice and never made a scene. So is it right to take advantage of us for their mistake? Maybe we shoukd have made a scene. I would have at least liked an apology. My sister paid but I would have left $0 2 star because the food was pretty good

We came here for sushi last night -- the sushi itself was fresh and tasty, though a bit on the pricey side. I also tried the miso cod entrée, which was unfortunately pretty bland and lacking flavor. The decor was cute with the lights. Our server was super nice and really tried her best, but it seemed like they were short-staffed. The food took quite a while to come out, and she couldn't check on us much since she was busy helping other tables. You could tell both servers were doing everything they could, but the restaurant just needed more help to keep up with the crowd. We enjoyed the faithful roll and ordered 2 of those. Good local place for sushi, would come again.

Overall: A // 5 stars Trifecta has helped me reach sushi ecstasy in ways I have not remembered for a long time. This establishment has nailed the balance of the Bay Area casual comfortable dining while also bringing noticeably fresh and high quality fish to the table along with bright and delightful flavors. I would not say the individual dishes are priced unreasonably, though I did notice that I racked up a gluttonous bill lol. Highly recommend this restaurant, and better yet, I cannot name a bad dish on the menu. (Black Sesame Espresso Martini: A+) - Perfectly balanced cocktail with an alcoholic front that hits the bitterness of espresso backed with a sweet and earthly complexion coming from the black sesame. Well priced at only $12. (Kaizen Toast: A+) - A massive bite that is a flavor bomb with so much to offer, from the natural sweetness of the seafood -- namely, the uni -- to the yuzu aioli that adds a refreshing sweetness to contrast the spiced chilis. (Toro Toast: A) - How can one go wrong with truffle soy on top of a heaping spoon of ultra-fatty and sweet toro. The crouton adds texture and helps fully absorb those luscious rich flavors. (Toro Carpaccio: A) - Was a little skeptical at first, but this was a great special that balances the fattiness with a significant smokiness; the crunchy onions add texture and sharpness to the dish. (Trifecta Tempura: B) - The batter has more substance compared to traditional tempuras, but still has the crunch; I like the new vegetables that add excitement to this dish. (Kaizen Don: A) - Stunning bowl featuring gems of the sea; the scallops are delicately sweet; the salmon is glistening with beautiful marbling; the otoro is rich in decadence; the iikura is well marinated; and the crab salad is comforting as imitation crab, but enhanced with what looks like the crab roe on top of real crab and mayo to make it that much more addicting. (Soft Shell Crab Roll: B) - Beautiful roll incorporating elements of the classic while also adding California-centered ingredients to createa colorful and tightly wrapped roll. The texture contrast is beautiful and the sauce pairs well; I am just looking for a lot more crunch to pair with the large soft shell crab. (Faithful Roll: A+) - Shrimp, yellowtail, crab, and avocado are all delicate flavors, so I was impressed by how well this worked with stronger flavors like a mango salsa, unagi sauce, and honey yuzu truffle sauces all mixed together. However, the combination is astounding as there are so many notes of natural sweetness from the seafood, the fruit, and the sauces. This is all balanced by soy and truffle to give an ulterior complexity. (Body Roll Chimmy: A+) - Well-thought out roll that works extremely well, essentially combining a spicy tuna with chimichurri and seared scallop with yuzu kosho to get spice two ways and sweetness and herbaceoousness two ways.

Been wanting to try this place for a while... heard good things from friends. My husband and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary. We ordered the omakase/ chef's tasting range from 130-150 per person. Every dish the chef gave us was amazing. The quality of fish is so good and fresh. The rice, I'm usually very particular with sushi rice. The rice was cooked perfectly and served nice and warm. Plenty of parking, definitely will recommend to our friends & family.

Since we are big fans of sushi we enjoy trying new different sushi spots when we get a chance. Trifecta is the latest sushi restaurant to cross off our sushi list. We arrived for a last minute Friday dinner at Trifecta. The restaurant is located in a nice plaza in the Evergreen Hills area in San Jose. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot. Gin Ga Sushi use to occupy this space when we were last here several years ago. The modern decor was simple and bright. We did not have reservations but the server/host was able to accommodate us which was very much appreciated. The sushi chefs/owners greeted us as we walked to our table. Everyone from Tita Maggie who is the mother to the chefs and to the servers were all friendly and accommodating. The vibe for a Friday night was family friendly and cozy. We ordered smoked hamachi tacos, soft shell crab roll, faithful roll, unagi nigiri, their salmon nigiri from their special menu, and a band of stones glass of wine. Everything was unique and flavorful. For example the unagi nigiri was distinctively prepared in a refined modern way that was different from the traditional unagi nigiri at other sushi restaurants. My favorite was the faithful roll which was delicious with bold flavors. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Trifecta. My only gripe was the price point was in the much higher end. This is definitely a sushi spot that I am happy to at least have tried once but not sure if I will be back anytime soon.

I bookmarked Trifecta when I first saw it here on Yelp but hadn't tried it until this week. I initially saved it to try their tasting menu, but that will need to wait, as I had dinner with a group of friends who weren't interested in that experience. Note-the entrance is on the side of the building. Our server gave us plenty of space to talk, which we appreciated. Trifecta has a focused menu which surprisingly did not include any salmon. I usually order sake nigiri when I try a new Japanese restaurant, but they didn't carry that. Our server kept trying to push Ocean Trout on me, and she kept insisting that the menu items that said spicy or had jalapeno weren't spicy. Other than the hard sell, service was fine. Our beverages were refilled without asking and again, we were busy catching up, so it was nice that we didn't feel rushed or pestered. Trifecta had some Happy Hour specials, which we tried a few. The kitchen was accommodating and made a couple of people a version of the yakisoba noodles they saw online even though it wasn't on the menu for that night. The garlic edamame was very flavorful. Other items we ordered included tuna ceviche, medium fatty tuna nigiri, yellowtail crisp, & chef created vegetarian rolls. I had the smoked hamachi collar & smoked hamachi tacos. I asked for no jalapenos but they still included them. Once I picked out the jalapenos, I enjoyed the tacos. They had a bright citrus flavor. There was no oohing or ahhhing about the food, and there were a couple of items that were not a hit, but overall, it was okay. I'd give our first visit to Trifecta a 3.5 stars. I might come back to try their tasting menu, but I don't feel like I need to rush back for their regular menu.

Fancy but casual. Balanced but modern. Japanese but not. Just amazing. Been wanting to try Trifecta for quite some time now. And so glad we finally went. From the experience, to the quality, to the presentation - there was nothing to dislike. Hubs and I had the chance to try it. We sat at the sushi bar where we got to chat it up with the other patrons as well as the sushi chefs/owners. If you're able to sit at the bar, I highly recommend it. Everyone is so super friendly. We loved every bit of our time there.

Date night only. Smoked Hamachi Kama, black cod and side salad plus something new for us the Kaisen donburi. Bradley and Ryan always knock it out of the park with freshest ingredients and the best staff.

We had an amazing experience here. Food was delicious, service was great and attentive, and loved the overall vibe. We ordered their special wagyu potstickers - so so good. Garlic edamame had a very nice sweet and spicy (but not actually spicy) garlic sauce. We also ordered 2 rolls - faithful and body roll, both were great and really had its own twist, unlike at any other sushi/Japanese restaurant I've been to. We also decided to get a dessert- ube panna cotta. Cant even describe how delicious this was! It was a wonderful experience, they didn't rush us, took their time bringing dishes between appetizers and mains (rolls) which gave us some time to enjoy our dishes, talk and savor. Many restaurants bring food all at once or before you're able to finish your starters which makes dinners super quick and overcrowds the table. I enjoyed this type of service way more! Definitely recommend this place and will be back to try more items on the menu since every dish we ordered this time hit the mark!

Great add on sushi restaurant in the area. The price is reasonable and the service was good They have happy hours as well. The store was clean and not so many tables. My favorite dish was smoked hamachi kama. The otoro was okay since I think the flavor wasn't there Oyster was fresh

Been here a few times, especially during their Happy hours (Tues-Thurs 5-7pm). Basically ordered almost one of everything off their HH menu, but these were our favorites: -yellowtail crudo -chu toro chili garlic -chicken karaage Also got their oysters, which are $3/pc and there's different flavors on each of the oysters. Also got their Faithful roll, which had shrimp tempura, snow crab, and hamachi in it! We sat at the bar and it was great interacting with the chef and watching them make the food. The place is usually packed during dinner time on a weekday. On Thursdays, they have a dj spinning hip hop. Overall, we had a great experience. The price point is a bit high, but the quality is fresh. They offer omakase, which is next on our list to try.

Elevated sushi place with creative and unique dishes. Super friendly staff and has a happy hour here. The chicken Karaage had a light crisp and was juicy but the honey truffle aioli was amazing with it. The sashimi was good quality and the sauce pairs well. The faithful roll was one of my favorite rolls and it had a burst of different flavors. The Smoked Hamachi Tacos tasted similar to a ceviche and was smart of them to use fried dumpling wrappers as the shell. They also have creative cocktails that are tasty! Would come back again.

Celebrated a birthday here and tried out their Omakase Tasting Menu! It was 7 courses for $119. 3 hot course, 3 cold course, and 1 dessert. It was a nice experience as we got to try many different dishes. My absolute favorite was the Miso Cod and Chawan Mushi, which was the steamed egg with longanisa bits on top with seared scallop. Very unique as it incorporated some Fillipino influence. Only bummer was that for omakase, I would prefer to be at the sushi bar so we can experience talking with the chefs and seeing our food be made. But when we arrived, the bar was full and our reservation was put on a table so not sure if the other bar seatings were also reservations or if they go by first come, first serve. Overall, I thought it was well worth it and service was amazing! I believe it was the owner who also came by to talk to every table thanking us for coming by and supporting. It was very sweet of her to check in and let us know they have their 1 year anniversary coming up and they are having a tuna cutting!

My partner made a reservation here for my birthday. Even though she requested for the sushi bar, we were sat in the corner for some reason. This sushi place if Filipino-owned so you can see some influence in the dishes. We both got the omakase. It's a 7-course omakase for about $110. It doesn't sound like a lot but one of the courses includes four pieces of nigiri, which sounds confusing. Miyagi Oysters (5/5): The dish provides two oysters with 2 different sauces. The one with wasabi salsa had a bit too much sauces that overpowered the flavor of the oyster. However I really liked the ponzu sauce one as it enhances the flavor of the oyster. The 2 oysters were very plump and sweet. Seared Albacore (4/5): The carpaccio included seared tuna marinate in ponzu sauce and topped with fried onions. The sear didn't add much flavor, but it was great soaked in the ponzu sauce. Chawamushi (3/5): This egg custard dish was warm and topped with longanisa bits and a whole seared scallop. The egg was warm and comforting and the lonaganisa added crunch. The scallop was plump and tasty, but did not enhancement to the chawamushi Nigiri (5/5): This course includes four chefs choice nigiri and an egg cake. The nigiri were Shima aji, kimmedai, ocean trout belly, and toro. The fish were very fresh and the flavor additions were unique Miso Cod (5/5): this fish dish is surrounded by a pepper sauce and had a sautéed spinach side. The cod by itself was sweet and yummy. I thought it was better without the sauce . Miso soup (5/5): This was by far the fancies miso soup I've ever had. It had 3 pieces of clam and and 2 pieces of scallops Yuzu Float (5/5): probably the best omakase dessert ever. It was a yuzu sherbet floating in a yuzu soda. Super sweet, but very plentiful Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and the omakase. Even though it had a variety of dishes, I do wish it had more nigiri

Finally tried brunch here and wow, we're glad we did! Our older sons had been raving about it for a while, but for some reason, we just never made it out. Since we're big fans of filipino food and saw that the brunch menu had a Filipino fusion twist, we had to give it a go. My wife ordered the omakase and was thrilled they were able to swap the cod for the uni carbonara which, by the way, is an absolute must-try. Our youngest had the unagi donburi. It was solid, but not quite a standout. I went all in on the longanisa smash burger. Definitely not the lightest choice, but the flavors were delicious. And those tater tots smothered in cheesy sauce? Unreal. We somehow missed the chicken and waffles on the menu based on the name, I'm guessing it's their take on Jollibee-style fried chicken, which we're definitely coming back to try. All in all, a fun, flavorful brunch with some creative Filipino flair. Can't wait to come back!

I had high expectations for this spot based on a friend's recommendation. Perhaps they were too high because this was just a middling meal. First the pros...nice decor, friendly young hardworking wait staff. The cons...the food was not that great. The toro toast was very fishy and so were the other seafood items we ordered. Also, the order in which the food came out was messed up. Drinks came two courses in and salad never came out and we asked to cancel it.

I was in the San Jose area and was craving sushi for dinner. I've eaten at Trifecta once before (when it first opened) and had a pretty good experience the first time, so I thought it would be a good idea to drop by again for round two. Unfortunately my second visit was not nearly as good as my first one. The restaurant was only at 25% capacity when we came in around 7:30pm on a Friday. This was a stark contrast in comparison to the first time I came here - it was packed and there was a waitlist for walk ins! Now the restaurant just seems low energy and dead, but perhaps business slowed down after the grand opening hype. They do still keep the one stall bathroom clean though, which is nice. We ordered: - Spicy garlic edamame (4/5): This was solid but nothing special. There wasn't much spice to it though. - Otoro carpaccio (2/5): Fish was fresh but the flavors of the sauce were poorly executed. It was described as a yuzu flavor sauce but there was no yuzu flavor at all; instead, the smell and taste of nuoc mam (fish sauce) was incredibly strong and potent. This was a miss - none of the other flavors stood out because the nuoc mam overpowered the dish. I felt like it was a strange sauce base choice for tuna carpaccio as well... - Kaisendon (2.5/5): Again, the fish was fresh but this didn't really impress me at all. The minced/chopped tuna had multiple pieces of bone in it - I was surprised to find one bone let alone multiple bones. Overall, the flavor profile was a bit boring - it could have used some sort of light sauce to enhance the flavor of the fish. Overall, a very underwhelming dinner. I probably would just go to Rantei next time I'm in the south Bay and I am craving a quick sushi dinner.

I just realized after all of the years being a huge fan of Trifecta that I have yet to leave a review. Ryan and the entire staff have consistently done an amazing job with the food, the atmosphere, and the service. From the times of pop up events, to bento boxes during covid, to the new beautiful restaurant in the Silver Creek area of San Jose things have been consistent!! I enjoy the fresh sashimi, Nigiri, and the other options that they have recently started to offer. Pair this all with a live DJ and smiles from the staff and I am in Sushi Heaven. I have visited for special events, happy hour, and on very busy days and have always been treated with kindness, respect and have been given the best service. Trifecta has my 5-star vote over and over again. Keep doing your thing y'all!

OMG. What was I thinking??? The first time I came here we ordered a bunch of fried items and edamame. But on my second visit, I was blown away!! I realized we didn't try much sushi the first time, and that's where this place truly shines. We came here for dinner last night because my partner's daughter was craving Japanese Curry Katsu. So we just let her stuff her face with it while the two of us sampled a variety of delicious sushi. And wow! Here's what we had: **Nigiri** Bluefin Tuna - deliciously fatty and buttery. Scallop (I forgot what they called it on the menu.) Yellow Fin Tuna Ocean Trout Yellowfin Carpaccio (I'm not sure that's what it's called.) **Faithful Sushi** - My favorite sushi of ALL time. **Short Rib Bao** - the short rib was fun with the steamed bun. I was relieved when most of the seats in the dining area were taken. Sitting at the bar and watching those genius chefs create dishes was such a magical experience. The fresh fish was extraordinary! I am now a big fan of this place. I'm so glad it's in my hood.

I'm shook that I haven't left a review for this AMAZING RESTAURANT since I'm here at least once or twice a month since they opened. I've been following trifecta since 2017-2018ish when I saw their pop ups and such on instagram. I love that I don't have to drive hella far to get good quality sushi. Trifecta is a GEM in the evergreen San Jose area. It is literally a 7 minute drive from my house and I love that I can always find parking. We love coming here for date night, when family visits from out of town, and to hang out with our friends. We are always greeted with friendly smiles. The servers are nice and the kitchen staff are so talented! I think they do a great job of fusing Filipino flavors with Japanese dishes like their miso kare kare YUM. I'm literally drooling thinking about it. Their omakase is like hands down one of my favorites. The chefs are really sweet and you can tell these guys are passionate about what they do. I know there is so much more I can say, but I know these guys will be around for awhile. 11/10 highly recommend :) if I could give 6 stars I would.

I kept seeing this place all over social media, so I decided to give it a couple of tries, hoping I would like it more. Unfortunately after the last time, I won't be coming back. The prices are on the higher side for what you get. The food and drinks were not good. I ordered the karaage chicken, but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It didn't have that crispy, flavorful coating I was hoping for, and it just felt a bit off. As for the ume shiso highball, it was way too diluted. It's a shame because I really wanted to like it, but for the price, I expected more.

Color me impressed, I came into Trifecta with some skepticism but after trying the food I am a true believer. When we arrived, even though we had a reservation there wasn't a table ready for us and we had to mill around awkwardly in the entryway for about 5 minutes before finally being shown to a hastily-prepared table. After looking over the menu, I was concerned because it came across as a bit more fusion-y than I was expecting, leaving me questioning whether the flavor-blending gimmicks would take precedent over delivering the high-quality Japanese food I was hoping for. Do you know that feeling when you are ready and almost hoping for the food to disappoint just to confirm your preconceived notions? Well I was basically there, and thankfully for me... I was completely wrong. Once the food arrived, it blew me away and perfectly explained all the stellar reviews that Trifecta has received. To start, the Body Roll was probably the single best sushi roll I've ever had, and I've had my fair share. Having the scallops on top of the roll was a revelation, and the yuzu kosho chimichurri provided the prefect topping in just the right quantity. Days later my wife and I were still talking about how good that roll was. The Miso Kare-Kare was another excellent dish, incredibly rich with a wonderful depth of flavor along with perfectly-crisp pork belly. One thing to note though is that it doesn't come with rice which it desperately needs, so I would recommend ordering a side of white rice to accompany it as we did. The Smoked Hamachi Kama and Chu Toro were also great, though my only quibble is that I wish the Chu Toro were a little less sweet to allow for the flavor of the high-quality tuna to come through more. All in all, our trip to Trifecta was an excellent one and I'll be dreaming about that Body Roll until I get the chance to come back and order one (or maybe two) again.

Sit at the sushi bar! I enjoyed talking to the Chefs and every dish I tried. A fusion of Japanese and Filipino cuisine. Sushi was fresh and every bite had a balance of perfect flavors. I see other reviews complaining of it being salty - I did not have that experience or maybe they have no taste buds. So "elite" LOL I was there on a Thursday night. It did get busier after 7pm, the servers could work on being more attentive when it got busy & we had several staff helping us -- all nice servers but could work on their workflow . Live DJ playing your favorite RnB throwbacks is awesome on a Thursday. Toro with truffle - chef made this for us and it wasn't on the menu - divine!! Scallop carpaccio - the sauce was very good Uni Udon Carbonara - sauce was rich and delicious, I didn't order extra uni but you can if you want more of that flavor , had a nice spicy kick Kare Kare Short rib - a modern twist and we asked for rice , more on the peanut butter flavor profile , I guess I could have asked for a side of shrimp paste. lol. The meat was perfectly cooked and tender. - rock shrimp tempura - sweet and mild spice - smoked hamachi Kama - grilled perfectly and was very good -Smoked hamachi tacos - small bites but plenty -Dessert - chefs make custom desserts so inquire . We had the mango cheesecake which was a nice end to the meal I was full after this meal sharing with my group of 3! I will definitely be back to order other items and want to try more!

Came in on a Thursday early evening for happy hour. The restaurant was about half full so probably don't need a reservation. Tried the ume-shiso highball and it was light and refreshing. Reminded me of high balls in Japan because they don't taste like alcohol. Our favorite appetizers were the chicken karaage and the chu toro maguro chili garlic. The chicken karaage was light and crispy and had a slight flavor of furikake. The toro tasted fresh and had a wonderful balance of spice and citrus. I like the crisp from the cucumbers and shredded carrot. The bao buns could use a little more sauce or flavor. The buns were nice and fluffy but the pork was a little hard to chew. The smoked hamachi kama was a little too burnt for my taste. Some of the fish meat had a weird texture to it. The trifecta roll was delicious. Spicy tuna was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the creaminess of the avocado and crunchiness of the shrimp tempura. Servers were polite, but did not really check up on us Had to flag the server down even though we had been sitting with empty plates for awhile to get the check. Would definitely come back for happy hour as it is more affordable, but wouldn't mind trying other entrees on the menu.

We came her for one of my girlfriend's bday who has been to their original location before in Sunnyvale, and loved it. We have done many outings to celebrate each other's birthdays before, but this was easily one of the best dining experiences and most fun we've had in a long time. This place is a "Trifecta"--amazing food, exceptional service, and a vibe that strikes the perfect balance between chill and chic. We came here on a Wednesday night at 5pm and were pleasantly surprised to see they have happy hour, and we ordered a mix from the happy hour and regular menus: -Rock shrimp tempura- tossed in gochuchang was crispy and addictive. -Hamachi crudo- fresh, bright and clean flavors -Chu toro with chili garlic - melts in your mouth with a mild kick -Body roll - you must do a body roll when ordering jk- seared scallops on top and spicy tuna inside the roll- yum! -Katsu miso kare kare - rich, comforting, full of depth and the beef was cooked perfectly and this dish complements well with a side of rice. -Beef yakisoba - classic done right -Smoked hamachi kama - tender, smoky, fall-off-the-bone delicious- -Tater tots - even these were so good! Every dish was stunningly presented, and the flavor combinations were spot on fresh, thoughtful, and well-executed. To drink, we had the Sesame Espresso Sake, which came with a black sesame brittle, which was so good we ordered more just for that. Special shoutout to Mike, (bust out the moves and karaoke, and Ivann, too!) who took incredible care of us. He was warm, fun and funny, super knowledgeable about the menu, and made the whole night special. We also had the chance to meet one of the sushi chefs/owner, Bradley, who was so kind, welcoming, and incredibly modest. You could feel the pride and heart they've put into the place, and it shows when he talks about their family restaurant. We have not stopped talking about the food and fun we had together. Can't wait to come back!

This was my first time at Trifecta, we made a reservation ahead of time and would recommend doing so as it gets fairly busy during dinner time. I had the body roll and would highly recommend, the scallops and tuna melts in your mouth. All the staff were very kind and accommodating, two of the owners went around and talked to each table too!

I've eaten here a number of times now and while I won't be touching the sushi in this review, what I will say is that I won't eat raw fish from anyone else. These guys have made me fall in love with sashimi. Prior to Trifecta, I always steered clear of it. Why? Simply because I didn't know how good it could be. Today though, I'll be talking about their newly debuted "Brunch" menu which I had the pleasure of eating a few weekends ago. Since we were in a large group, we decided to do it "Family- Style" so that we could get a sampling of everything on the menu. I'll be high-lighting my favorites here: **Mochi Pancake with Matcha Custard: Ube Condensed Milk, Matcha Custard, Seasonal berries, Powdered sugar-- This instantly brought me back to Kona, Hawaii when I tried my first Ube Pancake. The flavor of the Ube was distinct with the Mochi texture rounding it out, giving that chewy texture I adore. The Ube Condensed milk sauce was just the right amount of sweet. Because of this, there was no need for me to add syrup since it was sweet enough. Had we not been sharing, I could probably have eaten this dish myself. Would definitely order this again. **Longanisa Smash Burger: Beef pork mix, Brioche Bun, Cheddar Cheese, Tater Tots-- I'm going to be honest here and tell you that my Filipino self isn't a huge fan of Longanisa. Sticky Sweet Sausage doesn't really do it for me and I never order it at restaurants nor do I eat it at family parties. I was curious as ever to see if I would like this because it was presented as a hamburger. Imagine my surprise when I took a bite and liked it. The ground beef mixture was juicy and just a tad sweet from the Longanisa but I could ignore the sweetness as it was mixed in with the melted Cheddar Cheese and toasted Brioche Bun. This is exactly how you want your hamburger to taste-- Juicy, succulent and filling. Add in the perfectly crisp tater tots and this was a winner. **Chicken Karaage with Yuzu Honey Truffle: These mini pieces of chicken are dangerous for the sole reason that you just can't have one. You know it's good when you don't realize that you keep coming back for more after dipping it into the Yuzu Honey Truffle sauce. **Fried Chicken and Belgian Waffles: Soy marinated fried chicken thighs, Smoked maple syrup, Seasonal Berries. While I didn't get to try the fried chicken thighs (the table devoured them), I did get to try the Belgian Waffle. I had to save this one for last because this was my most favorite item here. It was crisp and chewy with the same Mochi like texture as the pancake but in waffle form. Add in some melted butter and a slight dipping of the smoked maple syrup and this was fire. As for service, they handled our table with ease and attentiveness. Super friendly servers that made sure all of our waters were filled and all the food came out in a timely manner. We never had to flag anyone down as they were right there to make sure we were taken care of. If you haven't tried this place, come support a small business. I'm a fan.

this is a must visit!!! Our server david and one of the chefs, Ryan were so amazing and welcoming. The atmosphere is more on the intimate side, clean, and spacious. We ordered so much of the menu, and everything was a hit. Also noticed, that they had a fusion of filipino flavors in their food which made everything so much better. The Kare kare dish was amazing, packed with flavor and had tender beef. the rice in their sushi was very savory and fish melted perfectly. Overall the experience was one of a kind and the food even better! will definitely be coming back to try the rest of their menu.

This one has been bookmarked for awhile, and we finally came for their anniversary during dinner service. We had the omakase which was a great introduction to Trifecta. The sushi was fresh and we enjoyed each bite. Perhaps the most interesting course was an ahi katsu kare kare. It was a twist on Japanese and Filipino influence. The dried mushrooms gave it a good umami. The broader menu looks to have plenty of other mouthwatering options - more reason to come back and visit again. I just wish it wasn't so far from us, otherwise we would frequent more often.

Trifecta review We've had the pleasure of experiencing Trifecta's pop-up omakase events during their early years. So we were excited to finally try their first restaurant hoping that the quality would live up to the standard of their pop-ups. Happy to say that it delivered. We were super pleased with all the dishes we ordered. And we had just got back from Japan! This place is definitely a level above what your typical neighborhood sushi restaurant is at. The ocean trout is always a must. And the sake bottles were priced very reasonably for a restaurant. Bar seats are always fun if you want to be closer to the action. Family owner, original menu, nice service, easily recommended by us.

We had Trifecta cater for our wedding and it was one of the biggest highlights of the day. They did a fantastic job setting up a beautiful spread of sushi rolls, nigiris, and appetizers for all the guests. The food was amazing and all of our guest and vendors praised how it all tasted. Service was great and very friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing dinner with amazing food and service.

This review is for their newly added weekend brunch. I was so excited to try Trifecta's brunch after seeing their menu posted on their Instagram. They are still making some tweaks so the menu differed slightly. We tried the following items: - Karaage chicken and mochi waffle: I wish the pieces of chicken were a little larger instead of small pieces. The chicken was a little dry, the mochi waffle was decent though I wish it had even more of a mochi texture in the batter like some other places. It would be a good idea if in the future they tried flavored waffles too (i.e. ube, matcha, thai tea) - Omurice (they didn't have the pork katsu and instead had a longanisa patty): it was similar to a loco moco, everything tasted pretty good, you couldn't really tell it was a longanisa patty but more like some bits in there that added some fat. - Bread trio which had pan de sal, bread pudding and bibingka: the pan de sal was drier than it typically is but the other two were good. I know that brunch is still new and they are working on it. I had a good experience and would come back in the future to try new items.

The food is amazing, and great service. My bf just found this restaurant and it is our new favorite spot!

Food was amazing! 10/10 for each dish - see pix. Ramon, our server, was funny and welcoming. The decor was so cute! We even got to meet Tita Maggie, the owner/ mother of the chefs, whom are brothers. She was hospitable as Filipino people usually are I'd like to go back to eat there for brunch. Thanks for a great experience!

Third time at this place and it only gets better with each visit. Food Service Ambiance Met the owner this time and she is a super sweetheart. Her two sons and the rest of the staff do a phenomenal job crafting the yumminess and ensuring the patrons are well taken care of. Most memorable courses for me were the salmon roll (w/ a hint of citrus by lemon zest), yellowtail crudo, and the alfredo sauce with udon noodles - great mash up! Will I go again ? Of course!!

I was so glad to see Trifecta Sushi open near my home it's conveniently located right next to the Silver Creek Community Market. I really want to support local, especially a neighbor's restaurant. Over the years, I've seen many restaurants in this area open and then close, which is always sad. I've been to Trifecta 3 times now, and I feel ready to share my experience. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the interior is clean and cozy. The food presentation is pretty and colorful, which makes a good first impression. However, I've noticed that the servers, while nice, often seem unsure and keep checking back with others when taking orders. It feels like there's a lack of teamwork, even though there are quite a few people working. As for the food, the sushi rice tastes a bit too heavily marinated for my preference, and the fish is just okay not super fresh. Lastly, menu's a little pricey overall. Will I go back? Probably, on and off but I wouldn't call myself a regular just yet.

I came in excited to try their new brunch menu, and left completely blown away. If you're looking for a spot that fuses Filipino and Japanese flavors in the most delicious, creative way--Trifecta is it. Here's what I ordered: Longanisa Inari Pockets - These are dangerously addictive! Perfectly seasoned longanisa packed into delicate inari--just one bite and they're gone. I could've eaten a dozen. Aburi Chu Toro Chimichurri - I mean... sashimi and chimichurri? Say less. The buttery toro paired with the herby zing of chimichurri is a match made in heaven. Longanisa Smash Hambagu - This dish is saucy in all the right ways. Rich, savory, and so satisfying. A creative twist that still hits all the comfort food notes. Hamachi Tacos - Ok, this is a regular menu item but I couldn't resist. They're one-bite wonders, bursting with freshness and umami. Ube Pancakes - Fluffy, vibrant, and lightly sweet. They bring that beautiful pop of purple and even more flavor. A must-try for ube lovers. Chicken and Waffles - Classic with a twist! Crispy chicken with just the right amount of seasoning, paired with fluffy waffles that soak up every drop of syrupy goodness. Bonus points: PARKING IS A BREEZE. They're located inside a plaza so you don't have to deal with the usual weekend parking nightmare. Whether you're craving something sweet, savory, or in between, Trifecta's new brunch menu has something that'll make you go wow. Their staff is so friendly and the ambiance looks like a mix of coziness and DIY [referring to the ceiling decor]. Filipino-Japanese fusion brunch? SIGN ME UP. This is 1000% my new go-to brunch spot. Run, don't walk!

Had an amazing dinner with my wife and our relative who's visiting from out of town. The food was super delicious. The Scallop carpaccio, sashimi platter, butter fish, body roll. All the fish was super fresh and the presentation was so thought out it was almost too pretty to eat. The staff was very attentive and was friendly as well as funny. Almost like talking to a friend you haven't seen for a while. Our overall experience was a solid one and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of what's on their menu.

I'm so excited to find such a nice Japanese restaurant in San Jose! This place offers a nice variety of food that includes omakase, small bites, noodles, and rolls. The restaurant is actually owned by a Filipino family so there are a few dishes that have a fusion twist to it which I thought was pretty cool. We ordered the toro toast, kaizen don, and faithful roll. I really liked the toro toast and kaizen don. The kaizen don comes with nori that you can use to make your own little handroll. Service was great; the waiters were super friendly and checked up on us often. The interior is also super cute and offers a nice intimate atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try the other items on the menu!

Thank you to Ryan and team for taking such good care of us! We had a girls dinner at Trifecta and enjoyed every minute of it! Such a great fusion of sushi and some Filipino familiarities. We made it in time for happy hour so we were able to try a variety of delicious small dishes. The restaurant is so spacious yet cozy, perfect for larger groups or an intimate setting. Favorite dishes were the sashimi set and sushi rolls! I would love to come back to try their brunch menu!!

I came here for Mother's Day with my mom, grandma and uncle. We were greeted by the owner Ryan. Our server Michael was very nice and made sure our food was delivered fresh and on time! Very cozy and clean restaurant. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend!

Tbh I thought it was just okay. I'd rate it a 3.5 out of 5. I was super excited to try this place out after seeing it on Insta. Unfortunately, imo it didn't really wow me. I knew it was going to be pricey but I didn't expect for me to still leave hungry. The fish quality is very fresh. I just think the portions were too small for the price. The kaisen don $60 was the highlight of my meal. There were scallops, salmon, crab, toro, and ikura over a bed of rice, side of seaweed nori. There was also a Ube mochi-like bread. I like how you could make your own hand rolls. So fun! The yellowtail crudo $23 - came with 6 pieces and was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The smoked hamachi tacos $15 - came with 3 tiny tacos. I would pass on this item. The toro toast $12 - came with 2 tiny toast topped with toro on top. Yes, this was good. But was it worth it? Not sure. The yuzu strawberry mint calpico had too much ice and started to become watered down. The black sesame ice cream was very yummy!! Our server, Anna, was very friendly and offered recommendations since it was our first time. She was very kind and checked up on us throughout the dining experience. The interior is very cute and bright. (Use the side door to enter). Lots of parking. Ambiance is very calming. That's my opinion but you are more than welcome to come and try for yourself!

I came for happy hour and I loved their variety of offerings. We ordered mostly appetizers and some nigiri. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and balanced. I would like to come back and try some of their cooked entrees

Firstly, I want to say you may need to make reservations before coming in. Luckily, my bf and his brother and I were seated immediately as a walk-in since we came early enough. Many tables had reserve signs aside from 2. Decor was pretty cute, from the bar to the general seating. The host could have been a bit more welcoming. 4/5 But our server Michael was great and had awesome upselling skills. 5/5 For the food, I had to be a bit of a stickler due to the pricing and compare. I'm not a sushi connoisseur whatsoever but just sharing my opinion. Starters: * Smoked Hamachi Tacos - The fishes inside the taco were great, however I didn't get any taste of the yuzu truffle vinaigrette, and I'm thinking it may have been due to the wraps being. A bit more salty than expected. With the components separate it's good. 3/5 * Edamame - Standard Edamame also a bit on the salty side, but loved the garlic. Personally for me, I do think that the edamame was overcooked. 4/5 * Unagi Roll - Loved how tender the unagi was, not much of a chew and it melted in my mouth. 4/5 * Spicy Tuna Roll - Typically my favorite roll, but it was very standard based on price. It could have used a bit more spicy tuna ratio vs the avocado and could have more of a crunch if they added more tempura crisps. 3/5 * Faithful Roll - Hands down best roll out of them all. The truffle definitely the star with enhancing all the fish flavors. 5/5 * Rainbow Remix Roll - LSS too much remixing going on. 3/5

I had the 7-course tasting menu and it did NOT disappoint. It was fantastic, and the staff did a great job explaining the menu. I sat at the sushi bar, and was solo. It was interactive and interesting, and I got to chat with the chefs and owners about their experience and upcoming events. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

Such a cute new sushi spot in San Jose! Vibes are good, fish is fresh, and the staff are super friendly! Came for dinner with friends and since we had a larger party, we got to try a little bit of everything. Some dishes we got which were all so tasty: - rock shrimp - hamachi - toro - uni ouster shooters - sisig bibimbap - umi masu nigiri - saba nigiri Will me back to try their lunch menu this time!

Trifecta's been on my list for a long time and I got to try it last night! Sashimi was definitely the star of the show. All of the fish were really great cuts, and most even melt in your mouth. Would really recommend and worth it. The sisig bibimbap was recommended to us and we gave it a try. This fusion dish was really great and the slightly burnt rice part was my favorite. As for the hamachi tacos, they were cute but a lil too tiny. The tuna roll we ordered was good too. Overall it's more 4.5 for me. The portions here are smaller than your typical sushi spots, just an fyi.
