The salmon was a nice big chunk so you can really taste the freshness. You can readily tell that all of their ingredients are fresh and they take pride in presentation. The orchids are a nice touch. Service is friendly and efficient. Pricing is fair. The tiny strip mall where this restaurant is located isn't much to look at, but it does not detract from your dining experience. The restaurant is small, but cute and clean.

Sado is hands down my absolute favorite sushi spot in STL!!!! I've always been a fan of sushi, but…read moreafter a trip to Japan, I realized I had never truly experienced quality sushi. One of my favorite places was a small standing sushi restaurant in Tokyo that always had a line out the door. I ended up going about three times during my short stay because I was genuinely afraid I'd never experience sushi that good again. Then I moved here and discovered Sado. It had always been on my list to try, and every single time we go, I'm completely blown away by the experience. Their sushi rolls are good, but the nigiri and sashimi are where they really shine. The fish practically melts in your mouth, and the way they balance the flavors is just chef's kiss. I could honestly cry over how good it is. My boyfriend and I try to come here every chance we get, and at this point, we don't want sushi anywhere else. Sado has completely ruined us for other sushi spots. If it's your first time, my recommendations are: Isaan Hamachi Sake Toro Zuke Sake Madai Garlic Pepper Kanpachi And definitely finish with the Sado Sundae! You will not be disappointed.

We were able to find free parking in a lot beside the restaurant which is always a win in my book. The inside of the restaurant is moody & gorgeous. The sunroom is a cute spot to dine! We didn't hold back with ordering. Started with the isaan hamachi and it was bright, cold, and had a fantastic sweet & savory flavor. We literally drank the sauce leftover. We also ordered the laksa (pei mussels, shrimp & salmon). This was probably my favorite dish as it was tangy & had so much umami + the brightness with the Thai basil. We ordered rice so we could actually finish the broth this time, ha!! We were served the scallop plate next. Perfectly cooked scallops with a spicy crab meat on top. This was my friend's favorite bite!! This is where I noticed the food appeared to be intentionally timed for delivery until after each dish was finished. Not used to this style of service as most kitchens will just send items as they are ready. The pacing was a bit off and we felt like we were waiting a little while between service. The eggplant had a perfectly crunchy chili crisp and cooling yogurt paired with it but was a bit more "gooey" in texture than I like. The sticky ribs were decadent and definitely the heaviest and sweetest plate of the night. We also enjoyed a cocktail, glass of wine, and had a free birthday dessert (housemade pineapple upside down cake ice cream) that were great as well. If you're local or visiting, I'd highly recommend prioritizing a reservation here!!

Disclaimer: I didn't eat here. And the reason is that 75% of the menu , come to find out, is…read moreprepared on the same grill as everything with pork/ham/bacon in it. So just a huge fyi to all diners with those kinds of dietary restrictions. To make a reservation took a lot of forethought and I was looking forward to my experience. The service was questionable - made me feel a little weird when I walked in, but that's fine. We got to our cramped table and got seated. Our waiter was really great though because he was very honest - he immediately told us which items did not work for my restrictions. As mentioned, that ended up being most of the menu, leaving only cold sides/salads as things I could consider. He offered to let us leave (lol) without charging us - because to no-show/cancel a reservation is a hefty fee of 20$ per person. It felt very weird to leave within five minutes of sitting down... So I have to say thank you to the waiter for being knowledgeable about the menu and dietary restrictions. However, for a restaurant with these kinds of ratings (and prices) , I expected so much more. Very non-inclusive of a huge portion of the population who does not eat certain meats. Thank you to the waiters who are honest and know the menu like ours did, but I think the menu could be vastly improved.

It was raining the night we went and so their having an umbrella stand in the "mud room" was nice. I thought it a good layout how you walk into a small area where you can wipe your feet then proceed further into the restaurant at the hostess stand. As we were walked to our table, we passed a "bar" where you can sit for your meal while watching the sushi master make everything. We were promontory seated and served water. When I asked for a hot sake, and he showed interest, the woman taking care of us said she could bring a larger serving and two cups. The wait staff were very patient with us as there was just so much mouthwatering options on the menu, it was hard for us to arrive down to what we knew we could finish. We ordered four rolls and shared all equally. It was a perfect way to try a lot of different t fishes - especially with one of the rolls being the Rainbow roll. The restaurant was quiet and intimate, a perfect date night. The lighting was enough so we could read the menus and see our food but dim enough to be romantic. I'll be honest I didn't notice the decor as a few of the tables had gotten some other interesting dishes that I ogled. I'll definitely be back!

I should have read the reviews beforehand and, if I had more time, gotten the AYCE sushi. Our…read morewaitress was really on top of everything throughout the visit. She always made sure we had our drinks, took care of our order, and checked to see if we needed anything else. She even remembered everything we ordered without writing it down, which was impressive! She also kept us informed about when our food would be arriving and was very polite the entire time. The sushi quality was okay, and I thought the selection of choices was good. However, the quality of the sushi itself was what held the experience back for me. I would have liked to see better quality to make the meal more worthwhile. Overall, the service was excellent, and our waitress definitely deserves credit for making sure we were taken care of. If you're craving sushi, I would consider coming back during one of their AYCE (all-you-can-eat) specials, as that would make the experience a better value for the quality of sushi being served.

This place was top notch, amazing for Midwest sushi! The fact that they have an AYCE option & it's…read morean absolute steal of a price! Almost everything I had was amazing. The service was very fast and our server was super kind (and encouraging through AYCE ) came here around 7:30 on a Sunday and it still had a decent amount of people, but no wait. The restaurant is nice, would be a super cute date spot! The bathroom was clean (there's only 1). My only complaints were these: the dumplings while they're steamed correctly, you can taste that they're frozen. I was so disappointed after having had some of the sushi. Do not get the dumplings, they're actually gross. The location, is not a good one after dark. If you are coming after dark only park within the block on the street. The final complaint is more of a STL complaint, because what do you mean the "STL Roll" is HONEY AND CREAM CHEESE WITH the tiniest bit of salmon. Anyways, good spot, if you like real sushi, you can get it here and not be nervous. The fish is fresh and tasty!

The chefs are always hard at work in the kitchen and you can tell everything is made with love. I had never had any issues here with the food nor the staff. However, I had a different experience in April. My friend made a reservation for his birthday today. It was the groups' first time coming and they were all very excited. We called multiple times to make sure a group of 12 was okay. We are all aware that not every restaurant is suitable for such a big group, but were told it was not a problem. As soon as we sat down, we could tell one of the servers was very annoyed at the group. From the start, he would answer with an attitude, harshly put the plates on the table, and was outright disrespectful when we asked about a friend's plate that never arrived. This person ended up leaving and going to eat somewhere else. I was a server before and understand that big groups can be frustrating. Nevertheless, there is no excuse to treat a table so rudely when they have been nothing but nice and understanding. The food was great, but we were all extremely dissapointed, specially me since I've been here numerous times with no problem. I had never seen this server before, so I'm not sure if it was an off day for him or what. Most people said they would not come back, which made me very sad since it's good food. Thankfully, the female servers were all very nice and accomodating after the entire situation. I highly recommend Sushi Koi for their rolls. However, do not come in big groups.

Once inside, I was directed to a table in the corner. The service was prompt, and we received our orders quickly. A younger gentleman approached us and seemed a bit confused when I asked about the drink menu. We were looking for sake, and they had a decent selection of both wine and sake, but nothing particularly exciting. We decided to try the Hana white peach sake, which was a pleasant surprise. The food menus were in a state of disrepair, with staples holding them together. We started with some appetizers, including pork gyoza, crab rangoon, and spicy edamame. The pork gyoza was delicious, but the crab rangoon was quite crunchy and flakey with not much flavor. The spicy edamame tasted like it had been soaked in Franks' Hot sauce or Sriracha sauce, which I wasn't a fan of. I wish I had ordered them regular instead. For sushi, I opted for a shrimp tempura roll and a rainbow roll, both of which satisfied my craving. Overall, it was a decent experience for the price, but nothing stands out that would bring me back again and again like other places. I might come back and try the ramen and see if that changes my mind.

Some of the bites are definitely an acquired taste (this meal was my first exposure to eating liver and sea urchin - both very bold and unique flavors) but getting to try new foods was something I really liked about this meal. The restaurant is beautiful, warm, and bright. You get to sit right up at the counter with just 5 other people when you do the nine-course dinner. Each course is prepared in front of you so it's neat to be able to see the chefs prepare the next course while you're eating. When you book the reservation, you get the choice to pick between tempura and yakizakana for one of the courses, and while the tempura was good (which I ordered), the yakizakana was excellent (which my husband ordered). They do a great job explaining what everything is that you're eating, how to eat it, and which order to eat it in. And even though it's all small bites, we left dinner feeling full and satisfied. We will absolutely be back.
