Trifecta

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.

It's quite surprising to find this place in the middle of evergreen. I always thought my neighborhood has no decent Japanese foodThis place must recently open as the sign was a banner.Anything with raw seafood was excellent. The sushi chef inside the counter is likely the owner and the guy definitely excel at his job Wagyu on hot stone was excellent. It's premium wagyu. If you have had enough Wagyu you'd be able to tell the difference from regular beef. They could use improvement on the cooked items:- Tempura was not light/fluffy enough. I'd think having the cooking oil at slightly higher temperature would help- the Hamachi Kama was very tender inside which was great, but the outside skin/fat was not seared enough and could use more char. Hard outside and tender core is what I preferred, the contrast is the keyBut overall a very good experience. And we will be backI want to mention that I have been to Japan about 10 times in the last two years and been to all sorts of eateries in Japan (from high end Kaiseki to street food). So when I say some Japanese food is good, it's genuinely good, not California-roll good, let's just put it that way

Came here for a date night on a Saturday night. The interior of this restaurant is really chill and the art designs they have here is really neat. The environment itself can get loud depending on the customers, but overall chill. I would say that this place is a little pricey, but I would give it a $$.5 price. My husband and I decided to get the sashimi set, the kaisen don, oyster shooter, toro toast, and the black sesame ice cream. I would say that the fish here is fresh and overall tastes very good. Service here I would give it a 4/5. Our server was amazing and even though it did take him some time to get to us to order, overall great job. I would say that the person who brought out our meals to us wasn't so great. I was amazed by the presentation of the sashimi set and he gave me a side comment on how it wasn't that great. Overall, good place to try and would come back again to try their other small bites and other dishes they offer.

Great fresh cut fish and lots of other tasty snacks and dinner. Happy hour 5-7 pm with a little discount.

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.

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!!

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.

My husband and I love this place. I've already written an indepth review. Hopefully the review is still there. We still need to come back and try their omakase!

Went to Trifecta for brunch today, and it was amazing! I had the steak and fries, while my friend enjoyed the chicken and waffles - both dishes were absolutely delicious. The espresso martini was the perfect touch to round out the meal. The atmosphere was cool, with a DJ playing great music. To top it off, the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend for great food, drinks, and vibes! Definitely going back for some more.

Came here for date night with my husband after reading rave reviews. We had a reservation but the restaurant was pretty much empty when we arrived. I don't think you really need a reservation. Service was attentive but they served us the wrong roll at one point. Overall, I thought the food was just mediocre. I wasn't blown away by anything and for the price point, I think I would've been happier dining elsewhere. I do think to each their own. It just missed the mark for us.
