    I would like to believe that this was just a one time fluke for this restaurant as the last time I died here was one of my best experiences at any restaurant in my life. The last time I was here, we did the Omakase experience and it was wonderful the food service noise level everything about the meal was great and worth the large price However, this last time that we went here, we did not do the experience and just decided to do the sashimi mini Omakase experience instead at the sushi bar however when we arrived for our reservation, we had to wait 45 minutes and we’re instructed that both a sushi chef and server had called out that evening and they were extremely short staffed. We were then sat at a normal table as they said that the experience we signed up for would take too long and it would be a very long while in between our meals. We then waited another 20 minutes for our drinks in which we had to remind our waiter, and he made them himself as apparently there was no bartender available or on staff. I am going to hold out. Hope that the next time I take my girlfriend here as this night was for our four year anniversary. It will be much better because I have always recommended the restaurant as the best possible sushi in SF. This last experience was the farthest from it and the only saving grace was that our server was trying so exceptionally hard because of how shortstaffed they were.  it was very clear to us that none of what was happening was the servers fault and the only reason we did not leave was because of how exceptional our server was. I feel bad for the guy and how hard he works that night with how poor the experience was matched by the rest of the restaurant

    I had high hopes but the service was slow, the food was mediocre and food delivered to the table slow and even missing items we had ordered. I tried it with friends for my birthday but we won’t be coming back.

    Made a reservation but wasn't aware the dinner was omakase only $125 a person. The course itself was not bad, but only had a few standouts (crab risotto, cod) and everything else was average. The sushi rice especially was a little odd - super sticky and had an different texture and taste that didn't pair well with the fish

    This is now our default sushi restaurant, especially after our 7-year-old daughter declared it her favorite restaurant. We tried the sushi tasting along with a variety of sushi from the a la carte menu, and everything was exceptional, there wasn't a single piece that we didn’t enjoy. As parents, we’re often cautious about bringing our daughter to nice sushi restaurants, as many don’t really cater to kids. But Alan and Yunus went above and beyond to make sure she felt welcomed and had a great experience. Alan even crafted a mocktail for her, which she absolutely loved. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, and our daughter is excited to try the omakase at the counter next time.

    First time to dine there and will probably not return. Food was fine, portion was small for the price I paid for the unagi rice bowl. Service was slow, even though there were only about 3 tables of two-three tops. We were a table of four.

    This restaurant no longer exists. There is a different restaurant, Kokoro, in the same location that is misleading customers by accepting reservations made for Sushi SATO. When diners show up they are told that the menu changed 3 weeks ago. They are no longer a sushi restaurant but rather a Japanese Italian fusion with a very limited menu. Diners are given an option to go elsewhere or be seated at SATO Omakase. This seems like a true bait and switch. Open table needs to update so that diners get the transparency they deserve.
