    Great! Went in for my 50th birthday, had my 5 and 15 year old daughters with us! Our server and our chef where freaking AWESOME! Can’t say enough about how good their service and food was! We love Sato! Wish we could go more often!

    I WISH I could give this place a negative 5. Me and my coworkers decided to come to this godawful restaurant. We pulled up and there were only 3 other cars here. That right there should of been my sign to get back in the car and go to Panda Express. We go in and we place our order. Well we had to wait an HOUR before the cook came (He was actually cool). So everyone is getting vegetables and rice and I’m just sitting here chewing on my straw. Then King Asshole comes in with two lunch boxes and he hands one to me. I’m thinking this is my food so I proceed to eat. Well one of my coworkers ask the waitress where his lunch box was. She comes back and says I ate his lunch box by mistake. I apologize to my coworker and the waitress says well it looks like you got a lunch box for free. She says she will get him a lunch box. A few minutes later, King Asshole comes back and ask who ate his lunch box. I said I did but I did know that was his. This bag of dicks ask me why did I eat his food when I didn’t order it. WHOA! First of all I’m the customer you’re the gofer. YOU made the mistake in giving me that lunch box. HELL, ya’ll took so long in getting my food I honestly forgot what I ordered and I was hungry. I decided to not make a big stink about it and moved on. Well the check comes and they charged me $5 more on my bill because I ate the lunch box. Well first of all you guys screwed up my ordered. I ordered a spicy chicken and it came with steam rice and vegetables. I NEVER got my vegetables but I should pay for your inability to take a order. Matter of fact, the waitress drew a diagram and wrote what each person wanted. So the waitress tells me they will charge me $7.99 instead of the $7.75. I said that is fine. She comes back and she only takes $2.99 off my bill!!!!!!!! WTF!!! She tells me they won’t allow her to make that adjustment. By this time it’s getting late and I have to go. I pay my bill and I tell her that the guy that brought me the box was a jerk and needs to learn customer service. I suggest anyone who wants Japanese PLEASE go to Inakaya Watanabe. The food and SERVICE is 10 times better. I will NEVER step food at this place again. When the flood of 2015 came and shut this place down, it should of stayed down!!!

    We went in and wanted to throw a surprise dinner. The hostess refused to sit us until everyone was there and was very rude. Then I stepped to their bench and walked in with the person we was surprising and she said you are the one who ruined the surprise not me no one told you to go outside. So rude. Then she proceeded to pass out menus and threw mines at me. When I said something to her about it we go into a verbal argument that included her using swear words. I don’t understand how she even still has a job! Aisha our waitress was amazing but the hostess in the fake Kimono ruined the evening. She was rude during our entire wait before and after we got to the table.

    The food is DELICIOUS. I’ve eaten at several hibachi restaurants, and the chef and the food were definitely among the top tier. Our party had to wait an hour to be seated, but the service was good afterwards.

    Train Wreck. I had reservation for 7 and when I arrived I was told there were 8 reservation ahead of me and we would have to wait some indeterminate time. Maybe 30 minutes, maybe an hour. We walked out and they did not seem to really care. Horrible, horrible, I will never go back.

    Sato is our favorite of all the hibachi restaurants in Columbia. The restaurant makes all their own sauces and the final meal is tastier than the chain restaurants.
