Japanese Dining Sato falls far short of authentic cuisine with most dishes disappointing or outright terrible. We found most of our dishes to be subpar or downright horrible, especially the so-called "ramen". Karaage 2/5 The fried chicken pieces were overly large for a starter dish, making it nearly impossible to handle them with chopsticks. The chicken itself tasted dry and rubbery, while the batter was a far cry from the flavorful, crispy karaage we were expecting. The accompanying dip was a sour overload of mayo, ketchup, and too much rice vinegar. Yakitori 2/5 Once again, the chicken pieces were too large, and this time they were pan fried and coated in teriyaki sauce, instead of grilled on skewers. It was acceptable in terms of taste, but those giant chicken pieces didn't work as well. Gyoza 3/5 The gyoza were acceptable, with a strong ginger flavor. However, the use of pre-made gyoza skins is a major letdown as the consitency is wrong. Frog legs 3/5 Frog legs was just about what we expected, tossed in flour and deep fried. It tasted like a mix of chicken and fish and was good with the sweet chilli sauce on the side. Katsu curry 3/5 The katsu curry was edible, with a nicely fried pork cutlet and standard Japanese curry sauce made from ready-made curry blocks. However, the chef's addition of random vegetables - including pieces of pineapple, broccoli, celery, Japanese shimeji mushrooms, and tomatoes - felt out of place and confusing. Tonkotsu ramen 1/5 Calling this dish "tonkotsu ramen" is an insult, as the broth tasted nothing like it should. Instead, it had a flavor more akin to clam chowder, thanks to the chef adding some kind of milk product to imitate the white broth that comes from boiling pork bone for hours. The overcooked ramen noodles were soggy and soft, and the braised pork belly (chashu) was non existent, as the chef had just boiled pieces of pork cutlet, which resulted in no flavor and rubbery texture. The vegetables on top seemed randomly selected, making this dish taste out of place. Karaage ramen 1/5 The broth and noodles in the Karaage Ramen were similar to the Tonkotsu Ramen, with milk added to the broth for no discernible reason. The broth tasted bad, and the noodles were overcooked, topped with a random assortment of vegetables and the same terrible karaage from the starter dish. In conclusion, we recommend staying away from the ramen dishes at Japanese Dining Sato. While the portions are generous, the food lacks flavor and authenticity, making for an underwhelming dining experience.

Real rubbish, sashimi almost frozen, thick and tuna had strings of fat i couldn’t chew had to spit it out. Took the food back to the owner, discretely asked to go back so guest wouldn’t hear us which didn’t help coz he started cursing us and banging on the counter. Very embarrassed lady (wife) I think walked us out and was very sorry.... I wouldn’t trust that angry man to prepare my food in that kitchen all alone....
worst dining experience. Gyoza tasteless. Egg overcooked, cheap type of noodles, tasteless and chewy Pork and overuse of vegetables on the “ramen”.
we had to eat with no heater on, with -10c outside. Had to eat with a freaking scarf. Go somewhere else please.
