What could improve? Everything. I saw it had great reviews and decided to go for my birthday…read moredinner. The server/hostess was very abrupt in manner and seemed almost annoyed with us for being there. Everything was sticky: the menus with crumpled pages, the tables, the bathroom floor. It had kind of a crummy cafeteria vibe with drop ceilings and crappy laminate tables and 80s middle school tile floors and stacking chairs. I'm normally all for a hidden strip mall gem but this was not it. My partner ordered a spicy roll combo and asked the server if they were spicy/crunchy and she said they all had the panko crunch in the mix. What he got had zero spicy and zero crunchy. The rolls were minuscule, sloppy with a tiny chunk of fish in the middle and nothing else. The yellowtail was super fishy and tough. He didn't even finish his meal. I ordered two special maki and they were both sloppily presented. The server never cleared a single plate from underwhelming appetizer through the meal. She came through regularly with her noisy Rubbermaid cart with peoples' meals on it, even if it was a single plate one-handed carry and the lower shelves of the cart were empty and could have housed dirty dishes. And the pièce de résistance was it was wildly overpriced - perhaps some of the most expensive sushi I have ever had and I have had grocery store sushi that was better. Then I came home and was in the bathroom for literal hours after my stomach started feeling dodgy after eating. 1/5 food 0/5 service -20/5 ambiance Just absolutely not it.

This review is strictly for the restaurant side of Kobe and not the hibachi grill side. My wife and…read moreI love going to Kobe. We usually order the same meal, the orange chicken combination with the hibachi fried rice. The crab rangoons are the best I've ever had, they are deep fried and so addicting. We have always had good service. The environment is very relaxing, the lighting around the dining room is low and peaceful.

The spicy tuna maki roll was unlike any spicy tuna I've had before simply because they added what seemed to be a bit of tempura inside the roll, delicious! Will definitely be returning!

We had lunch there recently and started with the caterpillar maki which was quite good. I ordered…read morenabeyaki udon soup and my wife ordered the katzu chicken. The nabeyaki looked like it had been made several days prior. The chicken which overwhelmed it was the texture of rubber; come to think of it, nearly everything in the soup was the same hopeless texture, absolutely inedible. Mushrooms were spit-out-awful and there were very few veggies. I knew better than to bother with the egg floating on top. The katzu chicken was clearly fried in ancient oil, echoing the complaint of an earlier reviewer, with a bitter nasty aftertaste. Noodles were absolutely tasteless. We asked for a container...to take the scraps home to our chickens. Because the server was efficient and pleasant, I decided not to ask for my money back. I would have been well within my rights to do so, without a peep, I'm guessing, from the kitchen. They know when they've screwed up and they did. All of which brings to mind Woody Allen's quote about life: such a large amount of misery and such small portions.

We went here for lunch and ordered the fried pork gyoza as an appetizer and it was fresh and tangy.

I just had to try and had some friends to visit and thought what the heck let's give it a shot! Place was busy with a party on arrival and able to get a seat quickly. Very limited seating so if you have a larger party and recommend contacting prior to ensure there is space. Service is quick and friendly for this tiny ninja haven. Nearly endless variety on the menu to choose from and ordered a handful of items between few apps, the boat appetizer and then the sushi boat. It is a ton of food!! Ended up bring quite a bit home after. Anything for two could feed a family of four with the amount received. Had Thai milk tea bobba to quench the thirst and was very delicious. I rated this five stars for the experience with the passion and energy Jackie and his family bring for your dining pleasure. I would rate the food as a four star, heavier on the deep fry for many items and a small portion of the sushi was not quite thawed. The flavors and mix of items are great and highly recommend trying for a great experience with a family passionate about their business! Thank you Jackie!!

We had this as takeout…read more Food was tasty at the time of eating but it didn't settle well for the whole group that consumed it. Though it was mentioned in some reviews here and in google searches about gluten free options locally, the order taker could not readily give more than a couple of dishes that were GF as they did not have gluten free soy in the kitchen. The choices given were sad and hinted at just being largely unseasoned and thus our GF family member sat out of the family takeout but that was not a bad choice in the end. A bit of regretful one.

As soon as you walk in, Satori has a very welcoming, friendly, comfortable, and relaxing vibe! For our visit, the owner personally greeted us and spent some time talking with us about his place. A great sign of owner/operator buy in! Satori is in a great location on the main strip in Belfast Maine. Easy parking access and walking distance from town dock if you come by boat! The cocktail menu is insane! I'd come here just to enjoy a premium craft cocktail at the bar! We enjoyed a variety of sushi, sashimi, tempura and amazing Japanese style bbq pork belly. Everything was delicious and to the standards and expectation of a fine Sushi restaurant in a big city! Recommended and we will return!

In fact, the next day the restaurant would celebrate its one-year anniversary under its new structure. Considering all of our experience with Chinese restaurants, it was a rare treat to try a Japanese place. It has a pleasant and quiet ambience, with mood lighting and varied decor, including colorful parasols in a section of the ceiling over our heads. I don't know if they had had a lunch "rush" that day, but we usually do lunches around 2:00 at restaurants and avoid busier times. There were a handful of tables in use, served by two young men who were rather amusing. A few times we heard an exclamation from another part of the restaurant, apparently the employees watching Denmark win a World Cup soccer match. My wife and our friend ordered variations of Pad Thai, chicken and shrimp, and the former had a side hot and sour soup, and the latter an egg drop soup. The Bento Box I ordered came with a small bowl of onion soup. That wasn't impressive, to be frank. It was a small bowl with a clear broth and two tiny mushroom slices floating in it. But our friend didn't want her egg drop soup so she and I traded. She liked it. The hot and sour soup was also fine, and as for the rest of my Bento box, it was all okay. The rice and chicken were fine. I am not a sushi person, so the California rolls were surprisingly good, and the pork gyoza was tasty like a crispy sort of crab Rangoon. I didn't like the Bento Box enough to order it again, but I can see getting the Pad Thai like they had, or trying something else on the menu. Our server gave us one final smile when we asked for takeout containers when he brought a large plastic kitchen container and asked "is this big enough?" Then he pulled the normal styrofoam containers out of it.
