Mes enfants & moi nous sommes régalés chez Sato Izakaya. Le service est impeccable, les mets sont originaux & les sushis, simplement succulents. Je recommande sans hésite qui a un côté épicurien développé.

On est arrivé dernière minute un samedi un ami ma dit sa lair bon on est parti de st calixte pour essayer un resto a Montréal sans réservation. Il avait de la place au bar la barman nous a tres bien servis malgré le fait quelle devait faire les cocktails pour le restaurant. La nourriture tres bonne nous avons manger plusieurs tapas (choix de la barman) & chaque assiette etait remplie de saveur les assiette n'était pas trop grosse mais nous avons décidé d'essayer plusieurs petites assietes a 3 nous sommes sortie tres satisfait de tout service alcool & repas. Nous avons bien manger sans prendre de repas (exemple ramen qui peut etre moins chere pour d'autre) & nous somme très bien satisfait plusieurs repas plusieurs bouteille de sake & service rapide nous sommes tres ravis !

La nourriture était assez bonne, les plats avait des attribut intéressant sans être dans la gastronomie en lisant les commentaires avant la réservation, mais assez généreuse. Le service manque clairement d'expérience au niveau d'assurer une expérience client pour mettre en valeur la nourriture, pas vraiment d'accueil, manque le sourire de bienvenue, connaissance faible du menu, aucun nettoyage de la table & remplacement des assiettes entre les services. Avec un peu de coaching ses jeunes serveurs peuvent faire beaucoup mieux. Cordialement

Absolutely loved this restaurant! I went for the first time with my sisters & my cousin visiting from out of town. The food was incredible!! Iloved the tapas style so we got to taste a bit of everything :) We had some mocktails too which were really yummy. I like the atmosphere & design, all the different light fixtures were nice. The service was ok, the server didnt come to our table for quite some time & did not present the menu to us at all. We are quite familiar with japanese cuisine so didn't need to much guidance, but I did fond we were often trying to flag to the waitress even if it was not busy. I would defenitely go back, hopefully will have more attentive service next time! I recommend.

Amazing food, lovely waiters, good atmosphere. What else could I even ask for?
The karaage & tonkotsu ramen will definitely make me come back.

The food was really really good. We recommend the Crudo de Hotate in particular, & the Chicken Katsu was amazing, but everything was excellent.
