    Dinner platter for 2!
    Jessica E.

    The midcoast is lucky to have such an excellent sushi restaurant in the heart of Belfast. This place is consistently good and they are always striving to add new specials and exciting options on an already really nice well thought out menu of delicious Japanese food. The Master Bartender is creative in his approach and his drinks are a culinary treat of all their own. The Hostess is a magician of sorts who can make your sushi dreams come true if you tell her exactly what you want and give a polite amount of notice to. I personally hosted my baby shower there and 9 months later people are still telling me that is was the best baby shower they had ever been to. Go to Satori now, there is something for everyone. Bento boxes to Raman to Sushi to epic salads. Not to mention the Japanese Cheesecake is to die for! Go now! Life is short!

    Sushi dinner for 2
    Linda R.

    3rd time visiting Satori, 3 for dinner on a Wednesday in August. This is a bustling place with dine in, at the bar or table, and lots of take out heading out the door. We sat right behind the hostess stand so it was a bit trafficy during our dinner. We shared the Sushi dinner for two and it was really fresh, well plated and plenty for 3 people. We started with delicious bowls of miso soup. Food here is very good. Two ordered cocktails and they were OK. Lots of families with young kids at the restaurant and the kids looked like they had some pretty fun drinks. While the menu is large and varied, you really need to be prepared for sushi, I did t see a lot for land lovers. My negative: chairs are super uncomfortable. They look cute but catch me right in the middle of the back.

    Red Dragon Roll
    Althea G.

    I used to love Satori. The prices have been high from day 1 but the quality was superb so I didn't mind treating myself. I started to notice a decline in the quality of food the last couple times I went and after tonight I will not be back. They're "specialty" rolls are now $23 which is more than I've ever paid for a roll, anywhere. I ordered the red dragon roll which was supposed to have spicy himachi. Not a spice to be seen or tasted. The whole thing was bland and boring. And the tuna hardly covered the top of the roll. So disappointing. I could get this same thing at the grocery store for 10 bucks.

    Mocktail and margarita

    So yummy and great service! Caleb was our waiter and he did phenomenal. Food was delicious, drinks were yummy and sushi was very well done!

    At First Blush

    Satori is definitely something special! Their menu can be a little overwhelming, so some research beforehand would be helpful, especially since seating is limited (reservations are preferred) and you will feel the pressure of others waiting for your seat. We were a party of four so were able to secure a table. This was a once a year occasion so we went all out! For appetizers, Vegetable tempura (seasoned flour so really dark and salty...not my fave, but still yummy!) and takoyaki ("grilled octopus balls"). This was new to me, it looked like a hush puppy and was filled with something mushy I couldn't recognize. Really quite tasty, but unexpected for sure, especially when it was offered after the question "do you have dumplings?" For entrees, we had Tonkatsu ramen (they were out of pork belly so had tofu instead) with the eggiest noodles imaginable! Almost like Udon but thin and long like ramen. There wasn't as much broth as you might expect, but still delicious. The rice bowl with fried tofu, broccoli, and carrots with sticky rice was great, very filling. The tea cooked soft boiled egg was a nice touch! Simple and clean. The hamachi maki (sushi) was nothing special, really, but the fish tasted meaty and fresh, reminded me of swordfish. I think the favorite entree of our party was the bao buns with filling like a bahn mi. Very creative! The cocktail was gorgeous and very tasty. This is really where they shine - craft cocktails like you can't get anywhere else! Pictured is "At first blush" which is made with egg white foam, cherry syrup, and Japanese gin along with some beautiful garnishes. The rest of our party had beer (Sapporo and a New England red IPA). Both ice cold cans with tall frosty glasses - very refreshing and a little bit elegant! The dessert offerings were a little discordant - cheesecake and pie? We finished our meal with a more traditional 3 piece mochi which came in red bean, mango, and vanilla. The kiddo in our party loved it. He was stuffed, or he would have gotten a bubble tea to go (aka boba tea). All in all, we had a ton of food, and after the tip it came to $200. Not bad for four people having a celebratory meal. If I make it in by myself or with one other person, it would be more in the $35 to $55 range, I think...you can still eat well and enjoy a unique cocktail. The huge menu will take you months to get through!

    Sake sashimi and unagi sashimi.
    Kinjal K.

    Oh my unagi! I'm someone who goes out of my way to make a sushi stop an hour away just for good sushi. I was driving by when I saw this brand new restaurant in my neighborhood! I decided to stop in by myself just to try it. I ordered the unagi sashimi and this is one of the best ones I have ever had! I also had a salmon sashimi , which was also amazing! The fish was all fresh and delicious. The house sake was also pretty good. The interior is great and the set up is very intimate. The lights are dim and you have several options for tables. I sat at the sushi bar as they were very busy and I was alone. Plus, I always enjoying watching/ talking to the chef(s) when I eat alone. Based on how busy they are, I definitely recommended making a reservation. The entire staff was very friendly and hospitable. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot in town.

I always assumed eggs and spinach , and sauce should all be together. Like so many restaurants I encounter in Maine , it's not that the food or service is that bad, but rather the fact that with minimal effort , it could be so much better.

You can be polite, you can be a tip well, you can be loud or you can sit here with an empty glass and not say a word. Doesn't matter. Because the waitresses, who are physically 4' from you, won't make eye contact because they're too occupied making some junior high school whispers to their mate.

For the love of god get a real manager in that place! Right now it's run like a hen house on meth.

Same charming and spotlessly clean interior, same amazing food and wonderful friendly service. Today, we started off with a bowl of French fries as an appetizer and they were fantastic!

She immediately alerted me to the fact that they top their Mac and cheese with crumbled Cheez Its and asked if I'd like her to hold those off. It was really refreshing to have a server so aware of a likely issue with an ingredient for a customer. Just fantastic personalized service. Thank you! We will be back again next year.
