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.

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!

A new izakaya in the neighbourhood? Let's go!
The food feels authentic, serviced by friendly & responsive staff. A few original dishes that are satisfying to the eyes & the palate, while keeping the casual vibe of a Japanese bistro. The atmosphere has still room to find itself, maybe with more muted lighting & select music tracks. Recommended!

What a pleasant surprise to discover this place! After a shopping trip, I wanted some takoyakis & my researchs got me there. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be for a Saturday pm but everything was amazing! The food was good, hot & fresh. The service was phenomenal! They always made sure my glass of water was filled & if everything was good or if I needed anything. I couldn't finish the whole plate that I took an extra of but they packed it up for me to go. I really recommend this place! Good food, nice staff & cozy restaurant!

Ce restaurant a ouvert il y a peu & est vraiment excellent. Nous y sommes retournés déjà 2 fois ! Chaque plat est délicieux. Nous avons testé en entrée les boulettes de pieuvres (Takoyaki), le poulet Kaarage & les gyoza. Puis en plat, le poulet katsu au curry & les sushis Inari au saumon & aburi saumon. À noter, le poulet Katsu est vraiment copieux !
Un sans faute, tout est excellent. Le service est top. On nous a même offert des petites bouchées qui n'étaient pas sur la carte. Ça devient l'un de nos restaurant favoris à Montréal.
Je recommande !

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
