Highlights are the food and the service. Definitely one of the best omakase experiences we had in the Bay Area. This place is definitely a bit of a hidden gem - surprised it wasn’t as difficult to book a reservation.

Had a delightful omakase experience at Sato to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. The sushi chefs take you on a palette journey. I especially loved the Buri with truffles, which just complemented one another so well, I was both surprised and thoroughly enjoying every bite. I also wanted more of the chawanmushi, it was so meticulously crafted, I didn’t want to finish it so that the flavors could continue on much longer! My partner loved the scorched barracuda and we both loved the cured king salmon. Yuzu panna cotta was delicious, though I could’ve done without the red bean. That’s more a personal choice though!

The manager stopped serving us alcohol after doing the sake pairing because "he didn't want to loose his liquor license." Very rude and was combative when we spoke with him. Never going back and makes sense now why they are not busy.
