Sushi was good and the dumplings were alright. If you want a thicker/more filling protein I'd go with the original "Sato Ramen" or it's spicy variant since they come with more meat and an egg to boot! What I got this time was the butter noodles and crab which for its higher price I felt like there was less there compared to the cheaper "Sato ramen" option.
As most restaurants are cutting back on amenities...so too is Sato. Your soy sauce is brought out in packets and the 'sea salt on the edamame is just table salt...overall the food is very good.
Super friendly and fast service, delicious and creative sushi (large omakase plate) at extremely reasonable prices. Miso caramel donuts served steaming hot was a perfect crispy treat to end the meal. Very lucky to have a welcoming, bustling place like Sato in the neighborhood. Sit at the bar if you can. Have a lavender lemonade always.
Someone recently posted to the r/Buffalo subreddit saying they were moving from California to Buffalo and were looking for ways in which the two places compare/contrast…As someone who lived in both, I gave him some honest comparisons—the Pacific Ocean vs Lake Erie, places like Yosemite & Sequoia & Joshua Tree vs places like Niagara Falls & the Adirondacks…For food, I said it’s a bit of a tossup—that there’s food in Buffalo you can’t find in comparable quality in California. Wings and pizza are a couple obvious examples.On the same token, there’s food in California that you can’t find in comparable quality in Buffalo… Latin and Asian foods being prime examples.My comment was immediately flooded with replies asking my opinion of SATO and how it compares….I was ashamed to admit I’d never been here.That has now changed and I’m happy to report SATO lives up to the hype.The spicy miso ramen is on par with some of the best gourmet ramen I tried in Los Angeles.The gyoza is a little oily, but delicious.All the sushi I tried was great.Very happy to have discovered this gem.

I always want Ramen and Sato Ramen is my go-to. There are many choices on the menu and I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. It's so good. Excellent food and friendly service!
Very good food, it's also good to see a place that takes their mask policy seriously. It's a very business-casual environment.
DoorDash never alerted me that my order was ready. When I called to check I was told it had been ready for an hour. Sato graciously remade my food since it was cold due to DoorDash’s mistake. The food was delicious AND warm.
Sato is one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo, especially the Elmwood location. Their ramen is very delicious and filling. The noodles taste super fresh! The atmosphere is great and it's the perfect dinner spot.
They Gave me shrimp instead of lobster. There kidd menu is dine in only. Website is user friendly. Hosts has an attitude and not very friendly. There was alot of people waiting on take out, the Hosts is ot knowledge enough to be up front.
