There are several levels to sushi Sato. Discussing the first floor. I went in to enjoy their happy hour and unlimited sushi. I purchased the first option since I was more interested in the basic sashimi/nigiri and was very impressed. It was so fresh and every bite was extremely tender. I believe the time limit is 90 minutes, but I was done at about the hour mark. I sat at the bar which made the ordering experience very easy. There are several tables on the first floor and a second floor devoted to table seating. My bartender was great and provided excellent service. They have pretty good happy hour specials as well--$3beers, apps decently priced. Overall really easy and nice experience. I popped in early on a Friday afternoon and found the place to be somewhat busy, but not too packed that I needed to make a reservation. I would suggest one if coming after six since it did pick up. My next foray on another weekend on the third floor (i believe it's called red lantern) was so fun. It's set up as a karaoke floor with TVs to see the lyrics and sing all around. The space is smaller, but tables are spread out for you to sit with your group. There's also a bar with a few seats if that interests you. You can order food and drinks and the song selection process is easy. I enjoyed a cocktail, a delicious Japanese take on a grilled cheese (which was amazing and like nothing I had before), and a Japanese whiskey cocktail. The bartender serving me gave me a Japanese whiskey tasting which was pretty unique. I'm a big fan of Japanese whiskey! Sushi Sato and red lantern are so much fun and I encourage everyone to give both floors a try for good food and fun. read more

As someone who has high standards, had an amazing time. Our server Laura was 1st class. She truly made the experience very enjoyable, while making us want to come back. All the fish tasted fresh, was cut properly. With sushi, the rice can make or break the experience like dough to pizza. With AYCE it's hit or miss due to the volume. The rice is either too hot cause they're trying to keep up, over seasoned, not seasoned, not cooked properly or mushy. Not here, the rice was cooked n seasoned expertly. While miso soup n seaweed salad is typically an after thought at most sushi places, I tend to judge a place by it. If something so simple is overlooked, then the rest of the food typically is. To my surprise, both were top notch. The miso was packed w flavor, while most places taste like water or is watered down w barely any miso paste. The seaweed salad was very dry, fluffy, fresh n well balanced. Most places it's too wet n mushy n lacks flavor, at times has a unpleasant texture. The steak skewer n miso cod to my surprise was expertly cooked. Lets be honest, most fish served is over cooked n dry. The cod was still juicy n packed w flavor. The steak skewer caught me by surprise how much flavor it had, while also being tender. Truly enjoyed everything here. The plating of every dish alone was eye candy. That was something you don't typically see at an AYCE and something I definitely appreciated n respected. That alone shows the love n passion that's being put into this restaurant. If I'm finding something to nit pick about. The angel hair pasta dish, while cooked to perfection, did lack in the seasoning dept. The soft shell crab in the sato roll overpowered w fried oil taste that I didn't even taste the eel. Those 2 dishes I wouldn't order again. This is just me trying to find something to nit pick about among an entire menu that was enjoyed. You def need to come here if you like/love sushi. read more

I really wanted to love this place, and while the food itself was actually quite good, the business model and service flow made for a very disappointing experience. I haven't been hangry in a long time... Not built for large groups. We came in as a party of 8 for the advertised All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE), but this restaurant seems better suited for groups of 4 or fewer. We waited 15 minutes just to wave someone down to take an initial order, and our drink orders were never taken at all--we just stuck with water. The back of the menu lists several rules, including a 10-item limit per order and a 90-minute time limit for the table. For a large group, this makes it nearly impossible to eat. Our first roll didn't arrive until 45 minutes after ordering. The first dishes to arrive were the grilled items and salads. Even if you max out the 10-item limit, the kitchen seems unable to keep up; we noticed most other tables were also sitting without food. The staff seemed to recognize our frustration, so this isn't a critique of the individuals, but rather the management of the floor. If they are going to open a second level for seating, the kitchen needs to be able to handle the volume. If you're hungry, I'd suggest booking two separate smaller tables or skipping a large group visit here entirely. If not for the server, this would have been a one-star experience. read more

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5 It's nice to see all-you-can-eat sushi places making a comeback. Although not quite worth the price, I had a good time here (and left MORE than full). As is often the case for all you can eat places, things were variable in their quality. The sashimi was uniformly good, and nice thick slices to boot. The spicy salmon roll was another standout, greatly balancing the salmon and sauce. The chicken and egg rice was delectable and unique, something we wolfed down multiple portions of. The shishito peppers came with a nice dipping sauce. There were things that I'd definitely avoid the second time around though. The cauliflower steak and vegetarian rolls desperately needed some seasoning (and for the cauliflower, more crunch). While the angel hair pasta concoction was also something I'd never come across, I was the only one of the 3 of us to enjoy it. And the In-n-Out inspired roll was just bad. The beef was strangely flavored, the cheese made the whole thing mushy, and it didn't look appetizing to boot. The servers were very good - friendly, accommodating, and helped us navigate the menu with aplomb. One cool thing is that they had restaurant-wide drink specials. So we were able to get beer for about $4/glass, which was a good deal. It filled us up faster for sure! read more

And just like that, I'm back again! This time for their all you can eat sushi which is $55 per person and 20% gratuity is already included. Here's a little bit more about our experience: + service was really good. Our waitress allowed us to sit just about anywhere in the restaurant because it wasn't too busy. + Items I loved: salmon, avocado and yellowtail nigiri. Their potstickers are pretty good too and the salad was refreshing. The edamame is standard (wish they did a spicy version). We also tried their dragon roll and spicy tuna. All of the pieces of fish were big and fresh. The salmon specifically melted in your mouth like butter + Items I didn't love as much: I tried their chicken rice dish and was not a fan at all. It was very mushy and because of that I was offput by the texture. + and the ambiance is really cute in here with really good throwbacks playing in the background. Perfect spot to connect with friends or go on a date Overall I would definitely come back to get their all you can eat menu again. I think it was fairly priced for someone who eats a decent amount. read more

Sushi lovers--this spot is a must. Visited Sushi Sato and had such a great experience from start to finish. The space is cozy, the vibes are perfect for date night or a chill dinner, and the food was incredibly fresh. We tried the crispy rice tuna, king salmon, truffled tuna, and yellowtail nigiri--all top-tier. They're also serving Japanese uni on medium-fatty bluefin tuna imported from California, which was a standout if you love premium sushi. Hot dishes did not disappoint. The miso black cod was melt-in-your-mouth savory, and the steak grilled skewer was absolutely delicious. Cocktails were just as good--the Lychee Crush, Matcha Cloud, and Honey Lavender Martini were smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy. Highly recommend the Sato Roll (soft shell crab, eel, avocado, cucumber, eel sauce, topped with ikura). So good. Special shoutout to Simon for amazing service and making the experience even better. Sushi Sato has only been open about 7 months, but they're already doing things right. I'll definitely be back. read more

Make sure you come here with a healthy appetite! The thing I really like about this place is that when you place an order with your server, it doesn't take too long for the items to come out. Also, the service here was great. Our server was very attentive, and I felt like she was always ready to place our next order. We did the premium AYCE. Note, there are a couple of items that are limited to only 1 per person (even though it's AYCE), which wasn't explained very well when we first chose this option and somewhat defeats the purpose of an AYCE option, but for the most part it's worth the price. We tried pretty much the entire menu, and I'll say I liked most of what we had. The sushi items were fresh, and the portion sizes are healthy. My favorites are the mentaiko angel hair pasta, the steak (limited), and the dragon roll. The only thing - we sat upstairs and it was really cold and drafty the whole time we were there. They eventually had to bring a space heater out. I highly recommend and I will definitely be back. read more

Went there for happy hour with a friend. Service was very solid which is a rarity around DC. I enjoyed the food but do wish they had a bit more options for happy hour. Overall this was a good experience, will be coming back! read more

Ordered delivery from this spot and have mixed thoughts. Overall - the food, delicious. Other than the edamame being unflavored, the sushi itself was really good. The reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars is because: 1) the size of the edamame was awfully small. Small enough where I'm had to point it out 2) they didn't include soy sauce. Luckily I had some 3) they included 2 sets of chopsticks (thankfully) but only 1 napkin 4) lastly their side of spicy mayo was $4, which I believe is a little unreasonable even for delivery. I ended up making my own. All in all, even disregarding the spicy mayo point - which it just may be the cost for them, so I'll give them that one - mixed reviews. Definitely will try them again, perhaps in person because the sushi was yummy. Just disappointed in the packaging and size of the edamame. read more

Shout out to Sushi Sato for being so accommodating in holding our bikes. The staff was able to find space for them inside when we realized we didn't pack our bike lock to secure our bikes outside the restaurant. Very thankful that they didn't turn us away as I was on a mission to stuff my face. I was excited to try AYCE sushi in DC while also seeing how the sushi compared to the AYCE restaurants in NoVa. We opted for the standard AYCE menu and went to town. I was impressed to see the various diverse group of diners supporting their new opening. I had a large appetite to try the majority of the items on the menu below though could have done without the grill items or garden roll. My favorites were the spicy mentaiko angel hair, pacific roll, chicken karaage, and nigiri. Something also worth mentioning was that I left confused if gratuity was automatically added and paid using ApplePay and therefore didn't have the receipt. The Managing Partner of Sushi Sato took the extra time to look into tracking down my receipt to re-confirm. It was sincerely appreciated and cared in how they handled this inquiry. I left the evening feeling satisfied and was fueled up to ride my bike back to VA!

Amazing All You Can Eat Sushi with an Al A Carte option as well. With so many new places for AYCE Sushi in the area, this is one of the best ones. It is quite upscale with two tiers and can save some money through paying on InKind. We got the premium tier two times partly to get an extra discount with InKind. The cocktails are great too and they have an all you can drink option for Kloud Beer which we haven't tried. The ambiance is stylish and the service is great. Also, now looking at the pictures they gave me a treat and candle for my birthday. We look forward to returning. read more

In-Kind Dining Pick Sushi Sato owes me NOTHING! From the moment we walked in, the energy was on point--great vibes, a nostalgic 90s/R&B playlist, and an ambiance that felt warm and elevated. Ne-Yo, Ashanti, Akon, Usher, Ray J, Rihanna... it was giving grown folks soundtrack all night. THE FOOD? Phenomenal. Every. Single. Dish. * Green Salad - crisp, refreshing * Edamame - perfectly salted * Rice Puff Rock Shrimp - crispy, light, addictive * Marinated Mackerel - rich, silky, beautifully seasoned * Dragon Specialty Roll - layered, flavorful, a true standout * Double Shrimp Tempura Roll - hot, crunchy, Tempura perfection * Tuna Sashimi - buttery freshness * Spicy Tuna Classic Roll - flavorful with the perfect kick * Garden Roll - clean, refreshing. This was the perfect blend for veggie lovers * Yellowtail Scallion Roll - bright, balanced, perfectly rolled Service deserves its own applause. A HUGE shoutout to Yousef, our waiter, who was absolutely fantastic. Attentive without hovering, warm, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. Plates were removed quickly, tables were wiped spotless, and the entire dining area stayed immaculate--even as dishes kept coming. That level of care elevated the whole experience and made the presentation feel polished from start to finish. The only two misses? * The Lychee Yuzu Crush tasted like dry wine--beautiful drink, just not great flavor-wise. The crush is traditionally sparkly sweet. Great concept but it just didn't hit. * The draft from the door to the bar--it's strong, and not in a good way. If you're seated in its path, you'll feel it. I think the only way to avoid it may be sitting upstairs. Even with those small quirks, Sushi Sato is easily a top-tier dining experience. Fresh sushi, elite service, a throwback playlist, and an overall vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. I'll absolutely be back--just picking a different cocktail and a seat away from the draft! read more

Sushi Sato's happy hour menu is what attracted me. I ordered a few items from that menu, including the sweet potato roll, grilled chicken, $1 gyozas, and $2 shrimp tempura. The sweet potato roll was my favorite from the group, as the potato texture felt strong enough to feel like any other protein, and it's hard to beat the $6 price. The chicken was also well seasoned and soft. I also tried the In N Out roll from the main menu, which was interesting. It's a creative risk that resembles the burger spot's thousand island sauce and beef. It's interesting and maybe an acquired taste but I appreciate the creativity. The service was great and I hope to return. read more

$55 all you can eat review: I came here on a Saturday with a reservation and we were seated immediately upon arrival. The waitress was very attentive and explained the menu thoroughly. We started with the salmon and tuna sashimi both very fresh. Then moved on to nigiri: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, eel, cooked shrimp, mackerel and tomago. All were very good with the exception of the yellowtail which was a bit fishy for me. Next we moved on to the special rolls: dragon, in and out, pacific and double shrimp. The dragon and pacific were worth it but in and out and double shrimp really fell short for us. They really load on the rice and texture is one more. Overall the place is good and worth the price! read more

This is such a cute sushi spot on H Street -- definitely something the area needed! I first tried them during H Street Festival and ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna. It was good, just a little too thick for my taste. My son and I decided to visit again on a Friday to dine in, and I have to say, I wasn't expecting the inside to be this clean, modern, and inviting. We were seated right away, and our waitress came over promptly to take our order. We tried the double-fried shrimp tempura (they even accommodated my request to have it as a burrito -- love that!), plus the $2 shrimp tempura, spicy shrimp roll, and spicy tuna roll from the happy hour menu. Everything was fresh and delicious! I'll definitely be back. read more

I came to Sushi Sato after noticing it a few times while dining at other nearby establishments in the area. We had a 6pm reservation for a Saturday evening. Upon arrival I was greeted by the friendly host and asked to wait a few minutes until my friend came. They were quite busy even at 6pm. My friend had not arrived by 5 after but when I said she was parking he explained the all you can eat menu to me .. . I wasn't aware this was an option when I made the reservation and shared I would think about it. I was seated and was pleasantly surprised to learn they have happy hour from 4:30-6:29pm. Our server came when my friend was seated and she was attentive. She offered suggestions and we decided to try the lychee cocktails and a few appetizers from the happy hour menu. everything came out fast and the cocktails were great. We didn't do the all you can but instead tried a few rolls that our waitress recommended. A traditional tuna roll, a fried roll and salmon roll. Everything was , however I felt like we were being rushed. People kept stopping at our table asking if we were done. We didn't ask for the check, it was brought to us. We were only there for a little over an hour, we were considering another round but felt like we were being rushed because it was a Saturday night ... we had a reservation so I didn't particularly care for that. I would return to Sushi Sato in the future it's a great space and the service overall was great! read more

Had the Simple All You Can Eat Option for $48pp. The sushi was good for the price point, I enjoyed the sashimi and nigiri, and enjoyed trying specialty roles like the In-N-Out burger style roll (it was better than expected). For $10 more you get access to more options, but I was satisfied with what we got for our price point. We arrived on a Friday night with no reservations and were seated within 10 minutes. The restaurant was fairly full, and it took them quite some time to get our food out. We waited 30 minutes after ordering before our first dishes arrived. The restaurant was slightly loud and the tables were a bit close to each other, but it was not too unpleasant. 4/5 overall, pleasant evening with a lot of food for a solid price. read more

Good, fresh, delicious sushi. My sister and I went for happy hour which happens Monday through Friday 4:30-7 i believe. They have a really good spicy tuna as well as pretty good chicken skewer. I didn't get to have any drinks because I was sick, but the service was amazing. The bartender continuously checked in on us and made sure our waters were always filled. We got to ask him questions to help us understand how things taste and it was very helpful. The ambiance is beautiful and is very nice for a first date or a quick after work happy hour. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I do not say that lightly. This place is nothing short of AMAZING! I kid you not. As a customer, and whose family is in the restaurant business, I understand everyone has to play their part to deliver a fine dining experience from the hostess to the server to the chefs. As such, it is not easy at all. Everyone has to be on the same page to deliver a fine dining experience. Here at Sushi Sato, I've had CONSISTENT, wonderful dining experiences between servers, food, and atmosphere. The sushi here is top notch as well as the service and atmosphere. The sashimi is honestly the best I've had in the region. It's fresh and they are rather quick and efficient with orders. Also the servers are friendly and extremely attentive to the needs of their guests. For instance, our server would remember to tell the chefs to remove jalepenos from our Pacific Roll orders without me having to ask over and over again. Just great service, always refilling our waters and taking away used dishes constantly which is what I think makes a strong server. If you're looking to take your loved one on a date or a laid back dining experience with some friends, Sushi Sato is worth going out of your way to dine at. They play early 2000's-mid-2000's R&B and the vibes are just immaculate. I love Sushi Sato as you can tell and I think the crew there deserves credit for delivering such amazing dining experiences. I live in Arlington and have tried a few sushi places in the region and Sushi Sato is always that place me and my friends end up choosing to dine at, because it's simply the best in the region. I highly recommend Sushi Sato! Thank you to everyone at Sushi Sato for being amazing! You guys are good at what you do. You have earned a loyal customer for a long time. read more

I came here with a friend when Sushi Sato just opened up over the summer. The interior finishing and ambiance is very nice and perfect for something as casual as a hang out and nice enough for a date. Due to my dietary restrictions, we ate mostly cooked foods and ordered the karage, seaweed salad, creamy wasabi and tempura udon, and eel and sweet potato rolls. Out of all the dishes, the creamy wasabi and tempura udon was the best thing we had all summer. It was so indulgent and would be a repeat on my list when I come back. What a treat to have Sushi Sato in the H street neighborhood. read more

Lights were dim but we we see so you weren't eating in the dark haha. Service was quick and food was so filling.

I've been here for nearly an hour and I'm really hungry. Waiter took other people at my table but did not take my order until I nearly begged him. Even had to ask for water three times and then just swiped a bottle off the waiters station. i have not been served except for a bowl of miso that someone else ordered. Going to be a a $300 bill and will probably have to hit 5 Guys on the way home. Update... finally got food so I'm no longer hangry, but this has been slooow and unsatisfactory. This is an all you can eat place that puts you on the clock. They may have given us some extra time. Tables around us are getting served before us even though they arrived after--I swear we're not being jerks or any reason to be singled out. Changed to 2stars because we did get enough to eat eventually. Sushi was good not great. Definitely grossly overpriced. Dude did bring the water though... read more

Awesome addition to the DC sushi scene. We did the AYCE option for 4 people. There was so much variety. Our server was really good about walking us through the menu. I wish there was a little more guidance about portion size. Some items were really small and others were huge (rice options.) it's good to know that for pacing. We definitely wouldn't have ordered the chicken rice last if we knew how large it was. Everything is really fresh. They have an affordable wine like as well. We didn't feel rushed. Everyone was friendly. Will definitely come back. read more

Snagged a reservation on a Wednesday night during their soft opening period and was very impressed! My group did the standard all you can eat. The quality and presentation of all of the dishes was way above what you would normally expect from an all you can eat experience.

Idk why I always give in and soon as I see something on TIKTOK, I believe people. I'll never come back here..there a table by the door that seats 4 and literally the door draft will suck you out, it's so close to the table next you, you will almost bump there food off if you pass through. So I changed tables and all between seating, changing tables and waiting on water ! That was maybe 30 minutes and there was only like 5 people eating so the service time was like ridiculous. We got a new server and is attention to the table was disappointing I had to ask him to plates and constantly get his attention to order more food. We even just stoped and gave up on asking score more stuff like basic napkins since he like never looked over despite there being only one other person eating in the section with us. On to food we had a party of 3 and we did premium like 70 something per person, the portion sizes are so big you won't eat your worth but I for sure order allllll of the sashimi. Very good but that was it. Everything else was just meh. So ssashuimi get a star They do military discount so that's another stars. But my best friend was so mad about the 40 dollars gratuity lol. All in all I won't be coming back to this place the menus to small and the food options are not all that. To give someone 10 giant pieces of sushi is a cheat because my best friend got full on just 2 sushi orders lol, after just forcing food in isn't the best feeling. When asked if we could do less sushi server said no. . Yup ayce is the other one I went to I think that's what its names its menu is giant and it's better. 100% better. read more

I stopped by Sushi Sato on Sunday night and immediately recognized the building. While I loved dining at Bronze (and Smith Commons), Sushi Sato brings its own vibe and feels both fresh and open on the inside. After taking a seat at the bar, I decided on two Classic rolls - Sweet Potato and Spicy Salmon, Nigiri - Omelette and Truffled Tuna, and Edamame. Surprisingly, the Sweet Potato roll was my favorite. Everything was good, but I look forward to trying more (and going for the all-you-can-eat-option) after their official opening in August. read more

Had a reservation on a Thursday but place was pretty much empty. Got sat by the door even though back of the restaurant was empty and it was freezing and wind blew every time the door opened. Got all you can eat and it took 30 minutes for our first order to come out. They told us they "RAN OUT OF RICE"... not sure how a sushi place runs out of rice. There was no apology or offering of any kind for the inconvenience. There was also no addition to the 90 minute time frame even though we spent 1/3 waiting for first order. Then we found a hair in one of the rolls. Some of the sushi was not cleaned properly and had skin on it as well. Quality was not great but we ate a lot that's for sure. Probably wouldn't go back. Service was bad and 20% gratuity included. Didn't even ask if we wanted drinks and only came to the table when sushi finally came out. read more

Sushi Sato is an incredibly sushi restaurant. The rolls are creative, the food high quality, and the service immaculate. The owner, Simon, is an incredibly kind, funny, and competent man who has curated an incredible dining experience. The best appetizer is the fish and chips (does not look like the ones you'd find in London) and the best roll is the Osaka roll. However, the pacific, in-n-out, and salmon liver rolls are all incredible as well. Sushi Sato has become a mainstay of my DC dining rotation, and is a restaurant I happily take friends when they come to visit from out of town. Could not recommend more! read more

Service nice. I made reservations. I enjoyed the miso and sesame cucumber salad. They had the dragon role come in first. So nice I did not pause for photo. Shrimp tempura lovely and plenty for two to share. Tempura eggplant was in large rectangles ideal for three to share.. The unagi (fresh water eel was enjoyed. My son was insisting that is for you when I ordered it -but when it came out he agreed it was very good and we went for a second round.. in n out was an interesting concept beef sushi roll. It was a little heavier. Double shrimp tempura was tasty but as the whole roll is deep tempura fried it was the heavier entree sushi roll. The ginger was A homestyle we have never experienced and we enjoyed it. I liked the grilled cauliflower but my son was not going for it. I am glad I ordered it. We did AYCE standard.
