Mr. Satos is honestly the best. Firstly the have many different choices all of which are really yummy or at least average (I have never ordered and been disappointed). Second, they deliver so fast. It said my order was going to be an hour long till it is delivered but then it arrived only 30 minutes later!! They also give you really big portion sizes. Good prices for what you get! read more

I would say the food is.... decent for the price. I've eaten here a dozen or so times over my college years and for the price you really can't complain. Just don't always expect to get the freshest (or most authentic) food. For instance, today I ordered shrimp and scallops teriyaki, and for $12.95 I got (not kidding) 3 scallops and maybe 4-5 shrimp. Kind of felt like a rip-off but then again I'm not going to complain dramatically considering the price. As far as the sushi goes, I've never been a huge fan. Seems like a lot of it isn't mega-fresh and is often overflowed with sauces/ imitation crab meat to cover it up. I would however recommend the fried rice, which is always fantastic and every experience I have had it is has been fresh. The staff is also very friendly. Basically.. for $15 or less if you have the craving for some cheap sushi/cheap Japanese this isn't a bad choice. However if you are looking for fresh and delicious Japanese food I would recommend Kyotos in Harrisonburg and for fresh sushi Oriental Cafe definitely has the top stop in Harrisonburg hands down. Bottom line: You get what you pay for. read more

Mr. Sato Express - the salad... aka lettuce. cmon at least throw in some carrots orrrr something... - Japanese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

I can honestly say that this is probably my best experience ever with a Japanese Express restaurant. The food was quality, the flavors were excellent and not too much. The portions were large and they had original Japanese White Sauce, not that nasty Yum Yum sauce (they had yum yum as well for those that like that junk). I would highly recommend this to anyone. I had the Chicken and Shrimp with Clear Soup and a California Roll. Well worth it!!! read more

We stopped in on Christmas Day while passing through and weren't sure what to expect. It was the perfect roadside stop - food was delicious fresh and made quickly and the service was friendly. We will certainly stop here again. read more

Total disappointment. The octopus salad, which in any other establishment of this type consists primarily of seasoned octopus without lettuce, was just 5 small thin slices of unseasoned octopus over a bed of iceberg lettuce. The avocado salad also was just thin unseasoned slices of avocado over the top of iceberg lettuce. The shrimp tempura was heavily battered to the point you could not find the shrimp inside. And the tempura batter on the veggies was raw and not fully cooked, much less crispy. Since I ordered delivery to a hotel I requested napkins and a spoon for my miso soup. I did not get the spoon. It was $31 and the only actual thing to fill me up was batter. The seaweed salad and miso were at least what one would expect. read more

The food is not bad quality. It's pretty inexpensive and the delivery is super handy for when you're lazy. I like the sushi I think it's not terrible quality. read more

Love it! Always recommend it to my friends and anyone one that asks about sushi options. Its always a pleasure and the customer service is amazing. There was a time that I called a little after they opened at 11 and the phone rang but no one answered. So, i hung up and thought I'd try again in a few minutes maybe they were busy. Not even 5 minutes went by when I get a phone call from them apologizing for having missed my call and if I'd still like to order. Like they didn't even have to give me the courtesy call but they did and I think that's awesome. The food is always delicious and very reasonably priced. They have a great selection if sushi. My favorite is the teriyaki bento box (chicken and shrimp). read more

We wanted to stop by and check this place out thanks to a friend who recommended us. We were greeted by a very helpful cashier. His name is Cristian and his extensive knowledge about the menu will guide you towards the right meal of the day. We tried a couple different rolls but the Spicy Salmon was my personal favorite dipped with the Spicy Mayo. The owner of the restaurant Vincent checked up on us to see how we were doing so that was really cool. He convinced us to try their hot sake which really hit the spot. This place is very promising and my friend and I will be coming back for more. Shout out to Mr. Sato's. read more

See all

This is the worst sushi I have ever tasted. The fish is so fishy and old. It is terrible. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!

A small place with a big selection. Came during a Saturday night and it was unusually busy, and had to wait over 45 mins for my food, which left me a little hangry. Fried rice was amazing according to my beau, light and not too greasy. He also got the chicken yakatori bento box, which was a great deal for all the meat you get! I got spicy run hand roll, which had little crunchy things inside. Delicious. I also got the aged tofu, which was good, but I've had better sauce. Can't beat the pump of spicy mayo though. Also will try the sushi burrito next time! read more

99.99 % good and fresh all the time. I have ate here at list 20 times, and only one time they made me wait. To my taste they sushi best in Harrisonburg, I try not to call them because am not always understood. read more

I have dined at Satos since I was a student here at JMU and still continue to enjoy its selection of epicurean delight. chicken takitori bento box is my go to here and it will not disappoint anyone with a knack for skewer chicken! the owners here are amazingly nice and the service is great, and fyi the owners last name is not Satos! love this place!!! read more

This is our go-to noodle house and sushi joint in Harrisonburg. My personal favorites are veggie udon, the seaweed salad, and the Philadelphia rolls. Although a renovation last year made the tables, lighting and wall paint classier, it's still better suited to casual dining than a fancy date. Everything I've tried there (and that has been a lot!) has been fresh and delicious. Prices are reasonable and the student and lunch specials are worth checking out. read more

Best deal on good sushi in town. Try the "crazy spicy tuna"; it's not actually "crazy spicy" but it's good.

Visiting family and they asked if I wanted sushi. Of course, living in SoCal sushi options are plentiful, so I was a bit skeptical of having sushi in the burg, but agreed. Oh my goodness - what a delightful surprise! So glad to know the burg has this little sushi restaurant. If I lived here I would be a regular. Fast and friendly service. We ordered edamame, gyoza (steamed the way I like it), and several rolls. One had mango on top. All were fresh and tasty. Thank you Mr. Sato for impressing my palate while visiting in the valley :-) read more

Food was OK. I expected it to be so much better from the reviews. I got a snowhite and california roll. I normally love California roll but the one here didn't taste that great. The snowhite roll is a good combo but again taste was not the best. Service was very quick though. I placed an order to-go and was ready with the order within 10mins. It's an OK place to try out. I doubt if I'll go back read more

I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box. The miso soup tasted really watery, so did the teriyaki sauce, the vegetables were not seasoned at all. The price was really cheap but so was the quality. Reminded me of cheap chain places in the mall.. For Harrisonburg as guess it's as good as you get though.. read more

Honestly not bad for cheap sushi. Place looks sketchy, but it's really good! Delivery has a small fee. They also have other food. The salad dressing is so good and you can buy it!! read more

No frills, but the food is absolutely incredible, and very affordable. I had three different types of nigiri and each one was perfect. The fish was so fresh and soft. I also got one of their specialty rolls and it was great too. read more

Was visiting a friend and they recommended Mr. Sato. Quick delivery. Good price. I'm not a huge sushi expert so I can't honestly speak to the quality. Got exactly what I ordered and on time. Food was tasty. They met all my standards for takeout. read more

The food was great. Large portions. The food was fresh. I would recommend this placed to everyone. Even my children loved it.

Absolutely my favorite sushi restaurant of all time! So incredibly delicious, well priced, fast, and staff is friendly. Nothing fancy, they do served on disposable plates and the place has maybe 10 tables in a small little shop. Spring rolls are fresh, fried rice always tastes freshly made, and sushi is just beyond good. They also deliver. Have a wide range of sushi from super cheap to somewhat a bit expensive (liek $12 roll but its huge!) and lots of cooked options with shrimp and crab. Highly recommend! read more

Tonight was my first time at Mr. Sato's, & I will definitely be returning! The chicken fried rice was delicious, & I wish it came in a size larger than a pint! I didn't even need to add too much yum yum sauce. Definately a new favorite spot. read more

I've never been back to the typical "Chinese" restaurant since visiting Mr. Sato. That's not to say they're a Chinese restaurant. They're not. They serve up Japanese dishes like sushi, tempura, udon, and bento boxes which put those typical takeout combo meals to absolute shame. You won't find your General Tso's knockoffs or Orange Chicken here, but you will find Pork Katsu, Chicken Yakitori (my favorite), and more served up with sushi, shumai, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, soup, and more rice than you're gonna have room to eat. It's all cooked fresh and it's just as fast and convenient. For that kind of food, it's the only place I go. My personal thanks to the staff at Mr. Sato! read more

nice people in very good soup make for flavorful atmosphere... restrooms rooming and clean.... all served in styrofoam dish read more

Mr. Sato Express - just before closing... - Japanese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

The best chicken teriyaki in town, better than Kyoto (and much MUCH cheaper too.) Great fried rice and sushi (I got the spicy tuna roll) and super fast. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Harrisonburg! When I was a student at JMU I would eat here at lease a few times a month. I don't know what they do to their chicken fried rice, but it is awesome, just pour some yum yum sauce on the rice and you will never look at fried rice the same. read more

Very accommodating in terms of delivery. Fresh salmon, good rolls, excellent gyoza. I strongly recommend this place.

Mr. Sato Express offers the best combo of value for quality for Sushi and Japanese noodle dishes in the 'Burg, I highly recommend one of the combination specials for a great value proposition. I like that all the sauces are available on the side table too so that you can get a regular sushi roll and use the 'spicy' sauce on it (especially helpful when the kids don't prefer too spicy of food). read more

I just recommend the rolls, are very good and the place pretty clean

I am completely addicted to the Teriyaki Tofu lunch. Perfectly fried tofu glazed in teriyaki sauce and served with veggies! It is truly yummy. It also doesn't hurt that it also comes with almost two cups of fried rice, that is so perfect words cannot describe. If I could I would eat it for every meal! read more

Hands down this is the best place in town. Always fresh, always friendly. Great prices. Not only does my girlfriend and I eat there weekly, but our young girls enjoy their sushi as well. read more

By far the best sushi I've ever had. The service is relatively fast and friendly. The interior is very clean and looks great. In short: Great place for the entire family to enjoy. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! Their Japanese food is the best delivery Japanese food I've ever had. It's the closest to the sit down hibachi restaurants that you're going to find. I highly recommend getting extra ginger sauce because that stuff is phenomenal on both the rice & chicken! read more

Here for a weekend getaway in Virginia. Found this little place and decided to give it a try. Awesome food, and fast service. Will definitely come here again when in town! read more

I've been to Mr. Sato Express several times. I've had sushi, the teriyaki tofu lunch special and the chicken yakitori bento box. Everything has been tasty and well-prepared. The amount of food in both the lunch special and bento boxes is a great value for the price. read more

Visits: Twice, for dinner. Food: Dammit, H'burg, you are way too small to have some of the best restaurants I've ever been to - and this is now one among them. I ordered two sushi a la carte, and had a sushi boat for three on both visits. The sushi was fairly priced and generous, and actually three different pieces from the fish per set. The sushi boat was even more awesome - there was a filler roll or two, but the vast majority were great rolls stuffed with very sizable pieces of fish. Everything was plenty fresh and very tasty. Atmosphere: Despite being called "Express", the inside is surprising not a bad sit-down. Very casual and simple, but not just a place to stand while waiting for food, either. Service: Prompt. I was sorta stunned at how fast things came, given the size of what I ordered. Cost/Benefit: Very good. A boat for 3 is several rolls (I remember 8 or so), 6 pieces sashimi, and 9 pieces sushi for only $45 or so. Count me satisfied. Prices for food are generally lower in H'burg than in many places, but it doesn't make it any less great. If I lived in H'burg, I'd be a frequent visitor for sure. I've been to sushi restaurants in big metros up and down the east coast - this ranks up there with the best of them. read more

Pretty good food for the right price, they have some of the best fried rice. Service is not bad.

I've come here many times and it's just as good as Kyoto's. Just much better price. Awesome food.

Great food but only a 2-mile delivery radius. I work inside Harrisonburg and it's apparently just outside of the radius.
