I went on a Sunday evening with a reservation. The inside had a nice decor to it. There's a good alcohol menu. The food came quick. The agedashi tofu stood out to us. The rest of the food was good. It was pricey but I have got to give the 5 star for the service which was A1 from the moment we sat down until the end.

Nous sommes un mardi & je ne sais pas s'ils nous ont donné la nourriture de la veille mais c'était vraiment mauvais. Les gyozas & le poulet karaage avaient une friture vieille & pas croustillante. Le spider roll aussi contenait du crabe frit vieux & de mauvaise qualité. Très mauvaise expérience.

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.
