We decided to go to Sato at 7 pm. I made a reservation through Open Table, but when we arrived, they did not know about the reservation. However, they were able to accommodate our group of 9 at one of the hibachi grill tables. In our group, there were 5 children, all 10 and under. We weren't sure how things would go. As is usual for Mexico, 7 pm is early for dinner so we were the only ones in the hibachi room for a while. Hibachi in León is not like it is in the US. First of all, there was no big show with lots of corny jokes and loud banging and shrimp flying. The man grilling the food was very quiet and methodical, not showy. He did, however, create an onion tower and set it on fire, much to the delight of our children. Some of the vegetables they used were a higher quality than the ones that are typical for the US so besides mushrooms, onions, and zucchini they used baby corn, red pepper, and broccoli. I ordered salmon cooked medium. It was perfectly seasoned, just like the vegetables. They did not have the different sauces available like they offer in the US, but they weren't necessary. If you want rice, you have to order it separately. It is not included with the grilled items. The portion sizes without the rice were very reasonable though and we did not miss the rice at all. The sushi rolls we ordered were fantastic. And the pay de dátil, or date pie, was a perfect ending. Our children ate everything put in front of them. Even the vegetables! We were shocked! We will definitely go back again. The servers were very attentive too. We loved the whole experience. I highly...
Read moreThe place was amazing the beer astonishing , the ramen thou... unfortunately it needed more temperature, traditional ramen has to be incredibly hot in order to enjoy the broth (which was delicious, but needed more temperature) at the middlen of my ramen I had to order a tea because I had way to much fat in my mouth and the fat in the broth started to coagulate, so I had to rush and finish it, and then the cherry on top, I found an eyebrow on my boiled egg, I didn't even returned the ramen back to the kitchen, because I just was so hungry.
I would totally return to eat again, the waiter was so kind and he was so cheerful.
Thanks again, I hope to return again, just be...
Read moreEra nuestra primera vez comiendo en el restaurante.
Cuando preguntamos al mesero sobre las bebidas, él mencionó que tenía 2 menús de bebidas y dijo que nos los iba a traer. Solo nos trajo el de destilados. Cuando preguntamos sobre vinos, nos dijo "De tinto: tengo un Malbec, un Cabernet, in Mexicano, y un Tempranillo" y por la falta de información, tuvimos que pedírselo otra vez el menú de vinos. Eventualmente nos trajo el menú.
Nunca nos ofreció sugerencias ni para beber ni comer.
Se notaba en la reserva que era el cumpleaños de mi novia. Lo mencioné en frente de nuestro mesero 2 veces para recordárselo durante la experiencia. Después de la cena, el mesero nos preguntó si queríamos algo de postre, por eso supusimos que el restaurante no hace cosas para los cumpleaños -va no pasa nada. Pero mientras nos comíamos los postres que habíamos pedido, 2 mesas en la sala recibieron un postre especial por los cumpleaños.
Yo no quería hacerlo una cosa en frente de mi novia, pero estaba claro que se habían dañado sus sentimientos.
Lo pedí la cuenta y me trajo una de otra mesa. Tuve que pedírsela otra vez. Estaba muy claro que no pensaban en nosotros ni nuestra experiencia por un precio de de este nivel.
Me da verguenza haber elegido SATO para una ocasión...
