I would have loved to gate-keep this spot but it's way too good to not share. @sushisatosf is located SF and is the sister restaurant to Sato Omakase ( it's actually right next to each other) they have a prestigious ala carte menu that varies from sashimi, donburi, and rolls. If you love sushi, you definitely need to check them out.

📍 @sushisatosf This is some of the BEST SUSHI I’VE HAD IN THE BAY AREA. Sushi Sato is the perfect spot for a fancier, upscale sushi night. The interior is super modern and sleek (with a super sweet bar), and the staff treats you like royalty. The sushi here is definitely elevated—good quality pieces of fresh fish topped with caviar, uni, wagyu beef, and lobster. Each bite looks incredible and tastes even better. Their cocktails are super unique, and pair really well with the sushi. Definitely save room for desserts too! Everything was top notch. Our Order: - Fatty Tuna Uni Truffle Bowl - Crab Miso Risotto - Bamboo Design Roll - Sato Signature Roll - Sashimi Moriwamasen - Chicken Karrage - Shrimp Tempura - Bincho Tataki - Sato Salad - Kiku - Kisetsu - Avo-Cotta

Really good sushi. Had only one sushi chef working the entire restaurant the day we went. After waiting for additional food for a long time, we left. The waiter said “I didn’t charge you for the rolls that never came.” So we had that going for us.

We had experienced the Omakase experience at Sushi Sato and LOVED it! So we decided to give the regular restaurant a try ... and it did not disappoint! The team are so friendly, the menu has variety but is focused, the fish is amazingly fresh and almost melts in your mouth ... a five star experience from start to finish!

First time at the restaurant and already a fan. Very spacious and high ceiling so already very comfortable and great ambiance. Menu is not huge which is usually a great sign specialities. Everything we ordered were decadent and outstanding. The risotto and the sato roll are our favorites! Would love to return again

Honestly I could’ve been satisfied with just sitting there and drinking water because Alan’s service was IMPECCABLE but the two apps we tried were unbelievably delicious. my boyfriend ordered the tempura shrimp that had a great flavor for the outside breading and i ordered the avocado bomb which just melts in your mouth. one of the best spicy salmons i’ve ever tasted. we had originally come for drinks and apps but there was no bartender, Alan made sure to apologize profusely and his amazing waiting skills made up for it! whatever he’s making they need to double it honestly. at the end of the night he brought out a slice of cheesecake for our anniversary and offered us hot tea. honestly 12/10 experience i will be coming back with my sushi loving mother and we will be trying out some of their rolls soon!
