The food was good, although would have expected much more exceptional tasting for the price you pay. But don’t feel the taste and experience match the price point. In addition, the area where the restaurant is located is terrible- too many homeless and people with drug on the street. This is not an area I would go back .
Sato OmakaseResponded on 16 August 2026
Hello Nic, Thank you for sharing your feedback We’re sorry to hear the overall experience and value didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you letting us know. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more memorable experience next time. Sato Omakase Team
