They have some very unique items on their menu. We tried the black cod risotto, Wagyu dumplings and the chef's special sashimi. The black cod and dumplings were very good. Wanted to try the dessert but didn't have any room! Will have to save for next time.Food: 4/5
Very lovely place! The food is fantastic and everything is presented nicely. The owners are very sweet and passionate about what they create, and I loved hearing from the chef about each dish that was served at our table. Highly recommend strawberry yeast sake, it was delicious. Vegetarian options: Tasty Daikon!
Atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty nice but kinda small. Food was just okay. With a very limited amount of items on the menu, I expected perfect execution, but this was not the case. Presentation was nice, but taste was inconsistent. The amount of vinegar used in the sushi rice was a bit too much, the acidity was too overpowering and you couldn't taste the flavor of the fish. Pricing wise, very expensive compared to other high end sushi places in the city. House made ginger was really good though.
We had a wonderful dining experience in Satsuki. The food are fresh and tasty, the service is exceptional, we are being taken good care by chef Maymay. We will definitely go back to try their omakase.
Dining at Satsuki was a wonderful experience. We were warmly greeted. The service and food were both excellent. There are so many menu items that I want to go back and try. Edit: Went back a second time for Mother’s Day and they did not disappoint. Great food and service!
The food here is absolutely incredible and yet, what truly makes this place Most Triumphantly Excellent is the dedication to curate an immaculate atmosphere and energy. The folks who run this place are so humble and filled with passion. It is amazing to see what they are creating .
Very impressed with the incredible food at Satsuki—ingredients were fresh and the flavours were spot on. My favourite dishes were the sable fish risotto, sushi/sashimi, and negi toro roll. I thought the wagyu gyoza were alright, but not a dish I'd necessarily order again. Service was normal, not particularly friendly though, as other reviewers said there was only one server during our meal and they looked busy. They forgot our dessert from the set menu. Loved the decor, ambience, and location as well. Definitely not a cheap meal.
The food is so fresh, the sashimi and rolls are so well made. The service was beyond exceptional, and worth the price. Definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve tried in Calgary!Recommended dishesKaisandon, Sakekasu Miso Sablefish Risotto, Matcha Cake
Lunch at Satsuki was a comfy and at ease place with great food, and friendly staff. I got to talk to the very nice Head Chef, May. She shared her passion and experience about Japanese dishes and cuisine, which made it a memorable experience. Enjoyed a Mother's Day set lunch started with a refreshing appetizer Kani Sunmono and delicious Sakura Hamachi, followed by fresh assorted sushi and ended with a tasty dessert, Sakura Strawberry mousse. A perfect lunch at a lovely place. This is the place to connect with people and enjoy the great food.
Honest review and experience. Overpriced for what you receive. Satsuki roll was standard, more on the soft and mushi side, had no sauces on it to compliment or crunchy component besides sprouts as garnish. Also tried the Miso Sablefish Risotto over $45 and had high expectations from chef it but halfway eating it, we realize that the rice was under cooked and we thought the extra bite was mushroom bits or something. Very unpleasant to consume but presentation is nice! Their king salmon nigiri was probably the most satisfying out of everything we got but the tamago looked rush to be made and tasted how I make it at home. Menu selections is very small so check it out before you get in, that place I would say is more for experience but after spending $150 I was still so hungry.
