Amazing gem in plateau! Been three times, and every time the experience has been incredible. So accommodating, incredible drinks, and the most delicious food!! Every person I’ve brought has been so impressed with the experience, from the amazing service, to the quality of the food. This has to be on your list of must try’s.

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.

A real gem! Tried Sato Izakaya and were super impressed with the attention to detail and tasty dishes. My husband’s ramen was steaming hot, exactly the way ramen should be served. My seaweed salad was fresh and delicious. We also shared the Spider Roll, karaage and the shrimp gyoza, which were all excellent. The beer was ice cold and served in tall Sapporo glasses, super refreshing! Highly recommend this place for the great food, nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Staring from the appetizers to main course which was the chicken katsu with the house curry sauce, absolutely tender and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!

Loved the atmosphere and service was good. The space is designed well and feels spacious and comfortable. The good was good but over priced. At those prices I’d expect high end quality.

Price is very affordable and the amount of food you get is great! Waitress was great too! Very helpful by answering our questions! This is better than katsuya and yokatai y'all and im a big foodie guy.

Delicious izakaya on St-Denis not far from the Mount Royal metro station. Had a yummy spicy ramen and aburi salmon sushi! My friend tried a variety of other dishes like katsu pork, raw scallop, cod... The waitress was very nice and recommended great dishes!

Super yummy! valid price coming from students. We had ramen but the fish looks really good too. Why is there an avocado nigiri for 6 dollars? im also wondering that. Great service the girlies were very nice and attentive. Quiet place which was nice. Beautiful indoors.

I went to Sato Isakaya with my friends, and the experience was horrendous. The food was terrible. The sauce for the chicken katsu felt store-bought and was literally microwaved (half of the bowl was cold, the other half hot). The salad on the side was also incredibly low quality; once again, I think it might have been store-bought. In addition to the poor-quality food, the service was horrendous. There were six of us, and even though all of us ordered at the same time, not one of us ate with one another. Yes, it is true we were famished (which makes the food tasting terrible even more impressive), but there were prolonged noticeable gaps between each individual service. It made me feel like I was eating in a cafeteria, not a restaurant.

What a gem! We were able to get a reservation easily, but I don’t think that’s going to be the case for long, because this place is fantastic. We had a variety of things, all were delicious! I had the salmon Aburi sushi, very unique. A rectangular shaped Rice that has ribbons of salmon throughout and a slightly chared exterior. Each piece is top with a slice of jalapeño and a swirl of sato sauce. The flavours were mouth watering good! I then tried the Inari spicy tuna sushi, again very original. A marinated tofu pocket filled with rice and topped with creamy spicy tuna, I ordered another almost immediately after taking my first bite. I enjoyed a saki martini with my meal and it complimented the flavours perfectly. Every aspect of this restaurant is well thought out.

As someone that lived in Japan for a couple of years I can say the food is very authentic and very delicious. The servers were absolutely phenomenal and it had a very fun and intimate atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

The ramen was flavourless and watery, the noodles did not taste homemade - seems like packaged storebought noodles. Maybe ramen is not their specialty and I should have tried the katsu for a more flavourful and fresh option.
