Satori Sushi and Teriyaki Grill

Had high expectations for Satori based on recent reviews. Went in on a Friday at 7pm. It was really busy. The setup inside is kind of weird. Like a cafeteria meets a doctors office. Our waitress you could tell was overwhelmed with tables, but she was friendly and VERY bubbly lol. What we ordered: - Bento box with sesame chicken and teriyaki salmon - A mixed tempura - Samurai Roll - Hot Sake - Sesame chicken was undercooked, and had no flavor or even salt really. It was not crispy as expected. - Teriyaki salmon had a nice flavor, but it was also under seasoned. The teriyaki sauce as it were, was bland and watery. - The gyozas were also, surprisingly underwhelming with little flavor. They also needed to be crispier. - The mixed tempura was oily and also tasted like burnt oil. It obvio

Got my standard mixed tempura donburi. It’s a sizeable meal here but the tempura is just ok. Good tempura is a tricky and uncommon thing that needs a number of things to happen for that fluffy fried magic to happen. Two fried eggs came on top of the rice.

We ordered edamame, but they were a bit undercooked. We prefer them softer, especially compared to other cafés where we’ve had edamame in Sacramento. The sushi was quite tasty, however before we started eating, I went to wash my hands and was shocked by how dirty the restroom was. It completely ruined my appetite, and it took me a while to recover. Sorry,but I have to post it,maybe they will clean it.

Pleasantly surprised and impressed. The sushi rolls are fresh and generously portioned…especially the Fire Dragon Roll and the Satori Special Roll. I loved the cozy yet modern interior, and the staff were super welcoming and attentive. Bonus points for the Rare Tea boba shop inside…perfect way to end the meal with a taro milk tea! Whether you’re craving sushi, teriyaki, or just a chill spot with great service, Satori delivers. Will definitely be back!

We had a group of 12 yesterday, and we had their omakase with sake and wine pairings. Our server, Cinty, took care of us and explained all the dishes as she served out each individual portion. We had uni flown in from Japan, fresh toro and salmon, scallops served a few different ways, seared wagyu beef, mushroom miso soup and several other dishes that I forgot. Our friend, Bob, has owned this location for 4+ years. Omakase needs to be given 24 hours notice, so they can curate the best food options and vibes for your table and guests. For those that love fresh wasabi, a great place for that. They also have a milk tea and matcha area, so a fun store to say the least! There is a 10% discount for your first online delivery order. The maki (roll), could use stronger flavor sushi rice imo.
