J'y suis allée avec une amie un jeudi vers 18h, sans réservation. Nous avons partagé des gyozas aux crevettes & un takoyaki : les gyozas étaient bien croustillants & le takoyaki très fondant. Tout était délicieux !

?Mais le clou du spectacle a été le sushi aburi au saumon : il était si bon qu'il fondait dans la bouche. Il avait une touche de piquant parfaite pour moi (puisque j'ai une faible tolérance). C'était tellement bon qu'on a dû en commander une deuxième portion !

?De plus, la serveuse était très attentive & gentille. Je reviendrais sans hésiter. C'est un peu cher pour mon budget, mais l'expérience était excellente. Merci !

Très bel endroit & très bon service. On a tous aimé ce qu'on a commandé. J'ai adoré mes takoyakis (il y en avait 5).

Great place to eat with friends & loved ones. The atmosphere is perfect, with good music, pretty decorations that fit with the Japanese vibe & dim lighting. The service is amazing. Friendly staff, always checking in to see if everything's fine & also quite fast.

As for the food, it was a bit deceiving for me but maybe it's because I had too high expectations. We had the chicken karaage which was delicious! A good wakame salad, the pork dumplings with truffle sauce that were underwhelming & also the takoyaki that I really didn't like but that's just my taste. Oh! & I had the Tokyo mule drink which was excellent.

The food was excellent, I especially enjoyed the Tonkotsu Ramen, Takoyaki, & Pork Katsu. The Katsu was well cooked, the Ramen paired well with the sesame seeds that came on the side. Would come again!

Walked in without a reservation. The ramen was tasty but could use more complex toppings considering the 20$ price tag. It didn't come with nori & the chashu was barely warm. Our appetizers were pretty good though the takoyaki squid was tough or overcooked. It looked more like a nice sushi place than an izakaya. I think their others plates might be more in line wih their specialty.

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!

It was a delightful experience at Sato Izakaya. The food was delicious. We ordered several dishes to share - the takoyaki, Japanese katsu, salmon aburi sushi, & spicy tuna inari sushi - & they were more than enough for two people. I must also mention Mrs. Lucy, whose kindness & warm welcome made the experience even better.

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 !
