We had a big party (11) for a birthday celebration. My expectations initially weren't very high (yelp ratings weren't great), but I was extremely impressed with all of our courses. The sashimi was excellent, the salads were excellent, and rolls were very good as well. It isn't the finest sushi/sashimi that I've ever had, but compares very favorably to other dining options in the area. We had attentive service and all left very satisfied, despite having a group with very different tastes (gluten free, kids, one who doesn't like raw fish...) read more

Amazing sushi with beautiful presentation! Service was spot on especially for a large group of eight. We will definitely return when in the area again. read more

Great sushi! Great service. Nice to have top sushi in edwards. Staff is super. Xxxxxxxxxc

Y far one of the best in the valley. Fresh and tasty . They are very creative with their rolls

Wonderful staff. Fantastic Location and The sushi was fresh. The crabfish roll was our favorite. I forget the name. The tuna nigiri was like butter. My only wish is that they offered a few more cocktail options. Overall I recommend!!! read more

Good luck calling for takeout. Several times now we've either been hung up on or told the food will take 2 hours to prepare. If they want to offer takeout they should hire more help! Very frustrating experience. read more

I've been eating at Satos for about 15 years. They are a long-standing staple within the Vail Valley. The sushi choices are excellent as well as their hot food. There is something for everyone, including picky eaters. Vegan friendly, gluten-free, easy with kids, ext. The atmosphere is fun. The staff are efficient and friendly. Thank you for being amazing!!! read more

This is a great local restaurant in the Vail Valley located in Edwards. The food is ALWAYS exceptional!!! Miso Soup, Dynamite Shrimp are fantastic starters! ANY sushi or sashimi you order is going to be fresh and of the absolute highest quality!!! Rolls, rolls, and more rolls. So many common rolls found at great sushi restaurants paired alongside so many custom rolls - something for every diet and taste! Fresh air!!! Beautiful mountains!!! And, fresh Sushi!!! read more

Mediocre at best. Sato has consistently gone downhill over the years. Service was less than great as well. Many other sushi options in the area and I would chose any and all over Sato. Also, how does a sushi restaurant run out of cucumbers?!‍ Save your money and go elsewhere! read more

Love this place! As a 25+ year "local" I cannot any say enough good things about Sato! The ambiance is cozy and staff is always very accommodating! And whil the menu has changed over the years, there's something for everyone (including those with an adversion to raw fish) from noodle bowls to baby back ribs. So glad that we have this little spot in our valley. read more

I rarely submit reviews, but in searching for the number to order takeout recently, I noticed that this mainstay of the Vail Valley had a surprisingly low Yelp rating, and I wondered why? My experiences with Sato have all been in the Very Good to Excellent range for both quality of cuisine and level of service. I have been a patron at all its locations over decades. Having lived in the Vail Valley for 30 years, I think it's amazing that we have five or six japanese/sushi restaurants now, but only one in Edwards! 20 years ago it was tough enough to get a decent cheeseburger in the valley!! So to all the people who grouse about cost, wait times or service and vindictively throw out one star ratings because they feel personally aggrieved on these fronts, please consider these thoughts: -the remote location of mountain towns will necessarily raise costs, especially for high end dining. -this is not New York, Miami, San Francisco, LA or Chicago where there are more direct supply chains and a wealth of highly trained service industry professionals. -I have friends who work in kitchens, serve, bartend and manage restaurants in the valley. Many of these people work second and third jobs, and sometimes they may be not fully "on their game." When you write a whiny critique, you directly affect their financial situation. Do you work in a sector where anyone, no matter how poorly qualified to judge, can rip you to shreds in a public forum? Maybe you don't work at all so don't have that problem? -These negative reviews also obviously affect the restaurant owner's ability to provide quality dining experiences going forward due to the economic impacts of bad reviews. This was never more true than now when many restaurants are going under due to COVID stresses! Please continue to support this wonderful "down valley" amenity, which as locals, we can not afford to lose!! And if you are "just passing through," please show a little patience and kindness! This said, the quality of the food has always been excellent. My favorites: Yellowtail Yuzu Sumoso appetizer Shrimp and Pork Belly dumplings appetizer Flounder Sashimi Cucumber &Avocado roll Spider Roll Rainbow Roll All the entrees are excellent, but the Beef Stir Fry particularly satisfies on many levels; especially for a little spicy heat from the jalapeño! I never have room for dessert! :-) read more

Surprised to find a great sushi spot in Edwards! Rolls were excellently built and presented. Sashimi was generously portioned and just incredible. Everyone enjoyed every single item ordered from the soup to the array of sushi. Even the vegetable tempura was great. Normally that's for the kids and all of us were fighting over it! Hit it up and enjoy! read more

food little salty that being said food service was horrible did not feel welcome at this place felt rushed with our food when it got to our table it wasn't busy at all clearly then one of our server who came and got our plate made me felt even more rushed by yelling to ask if we were done yet alone her experience with that place for 16 years shows that for sure will not be coming back to that place yet alone felt discriminated by how front of the house kept looking while we were eating yet alone i felt that my husband had to be my own server cause clearly from the beginning were told of nothing not about specials or drinks or water to begin with yet alone how it was a nice day and shades were down it could of brightened up the place a little felt depressed kinda being in their is how it felt . read more

Awesome experience at Sato, as always! They have been in the Valley for years and always deliver incredible food with the BEST service! Great Sushi spot in Vail Valley! read more

Worst experience at this restaurant! Waited two hours for our order only to find it was mediocre. Got our food at 9:45 pm. We had a reservation at 7:30. The owner/manager was a huge jerk and actually yelled at me after I got tired of hearing all the excuses about why we should be patient and not be upset about a two hour wait for crappy sushi! Great trip and experience in Colorado until we came here our last night! read more

Satos is our favorite valley sushi...except Matsuhisa on a special night. The ladies working there are extremely friendly and helpful in selecting the best rolls and drinks. I love the atmosphere, very calming. read more

Outstanding sushi. You can tell when a restaurant has good quality fish, and Sato always does. Compared to all the places around, Sato is the best in Eagle county. read more

Disappointing- They charge you higher prices than what is stated on their website. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and 2 philly rolls. The rolls were 6 tiny pieces each and it was $43 before tax. Don't waste your money here.. drive to Vail to Matsuhisa, the sushi is much better and the rolls are cheaper! read more

Sato - $43 in overpriced sushi rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Edwards, Colorado

The sushi was average but the pricing was steep. Service was slow. Took 30 minutes to get the check because they lost my credit card somehow. read more

Came here for my birthday, once again! We are vegetarian and the two vegetarian specialty rolls were SO delicious! Spent the whole night here ordering roll by roll and it was awesome! read more

Yum. Big sized pieces of fish...everything really fresh. Great service in a nice atmosphere. If you are not a fan of fish, there are other offerings to keep the whole party happy. read more

Ordered takeout - sushi is extremely overpriced and not good quality. We not only received the wrong side salads but there were pieces of plastic in the salad. read more

Sato - Salad with a piece of plastic that was found in it - Sushi Bars Near Me - Edwards, Colorado

If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the most poorly run establishment I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. From their lousy in house dining to their horrendous take out, this restaurant has no idea how to handle customer relations. There have been multiple occasions where we ordered take out, were given a time to pick up the food, and 3 TIMES IN A ROW when we arrive they tell us they have not started our order. Even after we call ahead and double check because we now how unorganized they are, they lie to us and waste our time. I will never return to this place and will actively spread the word of how awful they are. The sushi isn't even anything special, it is overpriced and over rated. If you read this, go anywhere else for sushi. You will hate yourself if you spend your time and money at this garbage restaurant read more

We were invited at friends request as the best in the areal. I know they were interested in showing their town in the best light possible. With that said.... The happy hour rolls where excellent, interesting and cheap. 5 stars The rest was ok, and way overpriced. 3 stars The decor was non-descript well lit Asian/ modern/ open space. 3 stars The wait staff was about as stupid as any I have EVER seen. Whoa! -1 star. I had to ask for my beer 3 times with another in our party asking twice, even though it was the first order taken. Clearly, the waitress forgot but then blamed the bartender for "getting backed up." Right, cause opening a beer is sooooo complicated. 1 star read more

I dined here the other day and thought it was OK but definitely not worth all the five star reviews that are on here recently. The food was fine but I generally have pretty high expectations when giving five stars as in you can't give six stars - five means it's really the best that there is and I wouldn't say that about this place. I guess I'd give it 3.5 if that was possible. read more

Bistro environment w/electro lounge music Fresh fish Amazing presentation Tucked away and located in what looks to be a commercial office area, Sato packs people into this rather small sushi establishment quite often from what I was told. I arrived around 8pm on a Saturday evening and we had to wait about 8 minutes for a table to clear out, but it was more than worth the wait. It seemed to me that this was the happening spot to visit on a weekend night. The crowd was in good humor and even a bit lively for a sushi spot. Throughout my visit, it seemed that the owners cater to a 20-40yr old crowd, believe it or not trip-hop does have a cap on its enjoyment age. However, T-Pain was playing when I first arrived, but R&B never came back so it must have been a request because they had some dead space in the tunes shortly after leaving me to believe they were rotating discs. This fish was incredibly fresh and they even had a few specialty rolls that I hadn't seen before. The presentation was so amazing that I couldn't keep my eyes on my own plate. I proceeded to check out other patrons dishes to see if it was consistent - and it was. Another aspect that I enjoyed was the specialty loose leaf teas they offer. They had a very nice selection. The service was exceptional and very friendly. The wait staff was on top of everything. Overall, this place is a must visit and if I am in the area will return again. The only reason this place received a 4 of 5 stars is because their specialty rolls section could have been a little more creative. Enjoy! read more

Sato - Sushi Bars Near Me - Edwards, Colorado

I dont mind paying for sushi, but it has to be very good. Nobu is the same price and much better. Rice is bland, seaweed is from the land. Try ordering sushi for a group of 2 including my wife Jimbo, on a single sheet of paper. Staff was mediocre, expressions of poker. They didn't go all in, such a sin. No refunds were accepted, though there was much to be perfected. The sushi was very bad, so we ended up leaving sad plus the price made us mad. I need Imodium, the toilet is my podium. read more

Great sushi and good atmosphere. When I say great sushi, I don't mean good for the middle of Colorado, I mean top 5 Ive ever had. Ignore the grumps saying they got bad service, every restaurant is having a hard time right now and this place is doing a great job. read more

My family and I are longtime locals of the Vail Valley. Although we don't eat out often, Sato's has been a staple for us. Unfortunately, the last time that we ate at the restaurant, we were seated near the back of the room. Adjacent to us was a corner table of twenty-somethings who were well beyond drunk. They were playing a drinking game (yes, as if this was not a nice restaurant but a sorority/frat house) which entailed very loud screams and slamming of shot glasses. With our 13-year-old daughter sitting with us, the "F" bomb was dropped regularly, and it was a disaster. We tried to cancel our order, but the food was on its way; so, we tried to stick it out. As the group continued their shenanigans, we gave up. Management did nothing to have this group leave the restaurant or apologize to the patrons who were having to put up with their behavior. We left Sato's never wanting to return. Tonight, we decided to place an order for pickup. The woman who answered the phone was curt at best. It was as though I was bothering her, and I called at 5 pm (when they open) trying to not get them during a really busy time. 3 of the 7 items that I asked for were no longer available (the menu online is no longer accurate), and no replacements were available. As a local family, I believe in supporting our small, locally owned businesses; however, rudeness & a sour attitude are never acceptable. Sato's has lost our business forever. read more

Terrible service!! Our waitress was curt & inattentive. We were there celebrating my friend's birthday, and would have stayed for a second drink & dessert after our overpriced sushi was finished, but she never came back to offer. I definitely won't be returning to Sato. read more

This place deserves more than 3 1/2 stars! Great service and great sushi! My favorite roll was the shred head- so yummy! We went here for a work dinner and we were all so happy with our experience! We've been coming here for years, and I will definitely be back! read more

We have had a great time in CO until dinner here. $500 dinner and a horrible experience. Food was terrible and the manager was a jerk.

I guess Sushi in the mountains just isn't as fresh or good as it is in a bigger city. Sato was a nice atmosphere, and I sat at the sushi bar with my husband and a friend after a day of skiing. We were all in the mood for a good few bites of sushi. We ordered a few appetizers, and the seaweed salad was good, but the egg rolls were not what we expected. We ordered a bunch of sushi rolls, they were all very mediocre. Not really impressed by their roll selection, and everything was pretty expensive for what it was. But I guess this is what you get when you are in the mountains! Overpriced sushi! read more

Really good sushi in the mountains and in a great setting. The front of the restaurant opens up with rolling windows to bring fresh air and a patio feeling to the whole restaurant. A great way to enjoy a meal with the fresh mountain air! I had the tempura vegetables. Amazing! Also several varieties of rolls, the dragon roll being my favorite. The sashimi was solid too. All was reasonably priced, not cheap, but sushi should never be cheap. Getting there before 6:30 helped as several of the rolls we wanted were a few bucks off for happy hour. Would go again for sure! read more

Before going to this place I read many reviews (none on Yelp) that said that the sushi was good but the service atrocious. I've eaten sushi on both coasts and in Japan. While Sato's offerings are not "cosmic", they are certainly good enough for this sushi snob. (Life's too short for mediocre sushi) The negative reviews focused on the service, which was described in harsh terms, so I went with my party, expecting to endure the service in order to enjoy the fish. In fact the service was attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being effusive. Most notable was that all the servers acted as a well-coordinated team. I never had the sense that anyone would ignore a customer's needs, because it was "not my table". The manager conceded that when the place opened in its new space, there were problems, but it's apparent that the management took the feedback seriously. I'd certainly return on my next trip to the area, and I highly recommend it. A couple of quibbles: The nigiri was fine, but many of the rolls (as seems to be the habit in all area restaurants) were overwrought, with too many ingredients. A salmon skin roll does not need smelts, nor does a spicy tuna roll need smelts as well as avocado. The unagi was a bit cold, but tasty. read more

Very disappointed. Last time we were there, ( 11/2 year ago) the service was horrible and the 10 min wait was 1 hour. But decided to try again. Horrible service!!!! 1 waitress for the whole restaurant. After we ordered never saw her again. Waited 45 mins to get a salad and another 20 mins to get sushi. Everyone around us was looking for their food after 1 hour. Sushi arrived and was $15-27 per roll. Not bad but the rolls were 1/2 the size of 3 other sushi restaurants near us. Way over priced for the amount and quality. Will never go here again and can not recommend the restaurant to anyone read more

I told myself I wouldn't be back... but went again and regretted it. Really slow getting food to the table. Sushi was just OK, service wasn't. update: tried again in the new location and still have the same complaints, service indifferent, sushi rolls ok, tuna flavorless, and my seweed salad was really old smelling.. .it should have never been brought to the table. read more

This used to be my favorite sushi place in the valley; but after my meal this evening, I think that I'm going to have to get my sushi fix elsewhere. Love the Volcano Roll and Buddha's Delight and both were ok; however, they were lacking the vibrant flavors and perfectly combined textures that they did in the past. The Green Eggs and Hamachi was pretty close to being right on; but like all of the rolls, we felt like it was not prepared to previous standards. Even the garlic chile sauce that comes with the edamame was disappointing- it wasn't as hot (used to be blazingly hot) or as flavorful. Our meal wasn't terrible and the quality of the fish was good as always, we just left feeling really let down and that the experience wasn't worth the prices. Hoping it's just an off night and that they'll be back to serving fabulous and tasty rolls soon, but I'll definitely be keeping my options open for a new favorite. read more
