Been here too many times to count. We absolutely love this place. Food is affordable with buy one get one free sushi. Never had a bad experience. Hours are kind of different. Can be super crowded. Make reservations. Food is amazing

The sushi here, like it's counterpart on Kent Island is very delicious. Not to mention the buy one get on roll free deals are amazing. However, the decor at this location is much better than the one on Kent Island. The service was excellent and I would definitely come back. As for other reviews I can't speak to how good their non-sushi food items except that the Miso Soup is good.

café Sato in Chestertown is hidden away in the Radcliffe Mill, which is a historic building. Decor is industrial, including seeing the old shoots that the milk, corn and mill wheat came down from the grindstone. But weed and corn are not on the menu. Awesome sushi and excellent noodle dishes in the Japanese and Thai genres are available instead. Service was very professional, friendly, and prompt. Our server Natalie kept us well supplied with ice water and iced tea because it was a very hot day. The food was excellent and tastefully prepared. Portions were just right for our quick lunch. The music was eclectic, New Age piano jazz. But you are a musical experience may vary depending on who is controlling the sound system. The interior seating is a combination of booths and tables. There is also outdoor seating available for nicer weather. overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was absolutely delicious! very fresh served quickly and hot even during busy rush. Ambiance is cute, especially if you like Historically Preserved spaces. old wood, high ceiling..it used to be grist mill and it still has the gain elevator outside for you to see! Back to the food. The Sushi was awesome and the Pad Thai flavorful and authentic & The Beef Penang Curry so good we ordered double so one we could take home! oh yea, the staff is very hip, friendly and cute. I totally recommend!

Let me just say this was probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. They have a awesome menu and everything we ordered was executed better than we imagined. It’s such a relief to know that there’s good sushi in the area, and the cooked food is great too. The sea bass was amazing and the Kobe burger and fries kept my nephew happy(I stole a few fries and was a little jealous). I like the local character and the fact that it’s located in an old grain mill it gives it a certain type of atmosphere, although it is a little cozy so if you come in with a larger party I recommend making a reservation.
