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.

Had a very good memory here today! Food was amazing! We have tried Tonkatsu, the homemade sauce was phenomenal! The vibe was also nice, on top of that, staff was so friendly & caring!! Want to visit again in no time!

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.

Went to sato Izakaya with my family. The food was good but the tonkastu broth was not very hot when the dish arrived & also we found the noodles a little bit aldente for us. Great vibes inside.

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!

As soon as I walked in I loved the Japanese style decor! Made the vibe feel lively & cozy at the same time. The food is extra fresh, the cuts & quality of the fish is amazing & the way they fry & bread the katsu makes it super crunchy! Best katsu in Montreal hands down. The service is top notch & the staff are super friendly & outgoing! 10/10!!! Would come back again 🤩
P.S. The house sauce they use for the katsu is so tasty 👌
