Authentic Japanese cuisine family own and operated. Sushi Chef is Japanese. Menu selection is limited. Don’t let that down. Fish is fresh and good quality. It can get busy so expect a bit wait if you order anything from sushi bar. Sukiyaki is one of my favorite hot plates. Service is great given they are under staff.

I’m honestly not one to give bad reviews but this was, hands down, the WORST sushi and WORST service I have ever experienced. I truly do not understand how this restaurant has a 4.6 rating. It started with the service-we were mostly ignored and had to flag down our waitress for drink orders upon arrival, then after our first rolls were served we didn’t see the second rolls for well over 30 minutes, then we had to flag her down to get the check or we could’ve been there all night!

Myself, and my 5 and 3 year olds had a fantastic time at Sato. The place is very quiet and I almost ended up leaving since my kids can be occasionally loud while dining. The service was excellent. We put our orders in quickly. The staff quickly brought out the kids sushi prior to the larger adult roles. The food was excellent. For a sushi spot, the prices seemed pretty affordable. Hope to return soon.

I really enjoyed Sato. We came here on a Tuesday lunch and there was only 2 other tables occupied. The clam ramen was very good and the nigiri was good as well. We’ve come here on another occasion and the tempura is great. The sushi pieces are on the smaller side but we still enjoyed them.

Service was very slow, and we could see the reason. They had huge to-go order to fulfill. So we had wait a very very long time. But as group we passed the time catching up. I ordered the Sashimi Lunch box, which was ok. We also ordered the Rainbow roll and the Fireball roll. They were again ok

Came on a Sunday for dinner. The restaurant does not have any waiting list system to register customers in line. Keeping of waiting order relies on the memory of a specific waiter. Don’t come if anxiety is what you want to avoid.

My go to for chirashi. Fish is top quality and really like how they flavored the rice. My parents like their lunch set boxes because they fry with clean / new oil.

We were in the area and wanted Japanese food, so we decided on this restaurant. It was really good! And the portions are HUGE! My bento (3-item bento – salmon teriyaki, tempura, and California roll) was so big. I definitely couldn’t finish it all and had leftovers for the next day or two. Everything was really delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant (we went on a Sunday around 6:00, so it wasn’t super busy yet). Very impressed and will definitely be back to try their other menu items.

This is a legit authentic Japanese restaurant with a traditional menu. There isn’t all that fusion madness; just good Japanese food and clean sushi. Hamachi was delicious as was the salmon shioyaki. I love this spot and glad it is not too far from the house.
