    Made a reservation but wasn't aware the dinner was omakase only $125 a person. The course itself was not bad, but only had a few standouts (crab risotto, cod) and everything else was average. The sushi rice especially was a little odd - super sticky and had an different texture and taste that didn't pair well with the fish

    This is now our default sushi restaurant, especially after our 7-year-old daughter declared it her favorite restaurant. We tried the sushi tasting along with a variety of sushi from the a la carte menu, and everything was exceptional, there wasn't a single piece that we didn’t enjoy. As parents, we’re often cautious about bringing our daughter to nice sushi restaurants, as many don’t really cater to kids. But Alan and Yunus went above and beyond to make sure she felt welcomed and had a great experience. Alan even crafted a mocktail for her, which she absolutely loved. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, and our daughter is excited to try the omakase at the counter next time.

    First time to dine there and will probably not return. Food was fine, portion was small for the price I paid for the unagi rice bowl. Service was slow, even though there were only about 3 tables of two-three tops. We were a table of four.

    This restaurant no longer exists. There is a different restaurant, Kokoro, in the same location that is misleading customers by accepting reservations made for Sushi SATO. When diners show up they are told that the menu changed 3 weeks ago. They are no longer a sushi restaurant but rather a Japanese Italian fusion with a very limited menu. Diners are given an option to go elsewhere or be seated at SATO Omakase. This seems like a true bait and switch. Open table needs to update so that diners get the transparency they deserve.

    Food was decent and service was top notch. Unfortunately was too quiet of a vibe compared to what we were looking for. Also seemed rather expensive for what we ordered.
