Review Summary

Reviews describe SATO Izakaya as a cozy, well designed Japanese spot with a lively yet relaxed vibe, offering a broad menu of ramen, sushi, takoyaki, gyoza and tapas style dishes, with generous portions and solid value for the quality. The food is praised for freshness, flavor and thoughtful preparation, especially the katsu, aburi sushi, ramen and gyoza, while service is described as attentive and friendly and the atmosphere as welcoming. Some comments note that prices can be high for tapas and that pacing can vary on busy nights, but the overall sentiment remains very positive with guests planning to return to try more of the menu.

A real gem! Tried Sato Izakaya & were super impressed with the attention to detail & tasty dishes. My husband's ramen was steaming hot, exactly the way ramen should be served. My seaweed salad was fresh & delicious. We also shared the Spider Roll, karaage & the shrimp gyoza, which were all excellent. The beer was ice cold & served in tall Sapporo glasses, super refreshing! Highly recommend this place for the great food, nice atmosphere & friendly service.

We had dinner on Thursday evening at Sato, & it was a wonderful experience. The food, the service, the ambience were all fantastic! We each had a ramen (Tonkotsu & Spicy Miso), both were delicious. We also had the shrimp & scallop appetizer which was cooked to perfection, as well we had the yuzu cheesecake for dessert, & it was lovely. The prices are reasonable for the quality & quantity. Highly recommend!

We discovered this wonderful Japanese restaurant & had an excellent experience. The staff were welcoming & were very helpful in explaining the menu & making recommendations. The authentic food was exquisite - the best we have had in a long time. We were encouraged to stay despite the late hour. Special mention of two staff members, Sara & Simone, who provided excellent & friendly service. Highly recommended!

Great energy. Very welcoming staff. The food came out quickly & was delicious. The breading on the Katsu was just like in Japan. The meat was juicy & all the sauces incredibly flavourful. There is great sushi, too. It was fresh & had a unique touch. Highly recommend & can't wait to go back
