One of the best, if not the, spots in Chestertown. Dim lights, friendly laid back vibes, low volumes, nice staff and solid sushi. We usually mix it up with a variety of rolls and get a pad thai dish. Not once were we disappointed in many visits so the consistency is high, which is what it's all about.

Lovely little place in an old mill building. The staff is friendly, sushi is very fresh, and deals are amazing. The buy one get one free sushi is an incredible deal. Highly recommended.

I went to cafe Sado in Chestertown not too long ago with my girlfriend and her sister. We’ve never had an issue until now. When we had been seated, my girlfriend, her sister, and I, had all asked if our server if she could notify the kitchen about a peanut and tree nut allergy due to my girlfriend and her sister being highly allergic. Even after all three of us explaining, not once, but three times. Despite the explanation, the entree my girlfriend’s sister ordered came out with peanut sauce. We had asked another server(as we were unsure of what it was at the time) what the sauce was. And then had her take it away. When our other server had returned, we had explained the situation, and were met with halfhearted apologies, and understanding due to her and I quote her saying ‘I know I was in nursing school.’ And her stating she had misheard all three of us saying nut allergy and told the kitchen gluten allergy. Her attitude throughout the rest of the night was very unprofessional. We then called over someone else for the manager as we had hoped to be able to have this issue addressed. The other server had told us that her sister was the manager and was off site. She then stated that ‘she guesses she’s the manager because her sister is gone.’ Not sure if that’s how it works but we said okay, and asked her to call the manager. We were then told the best they could do to rectify the potentially hazardous situation is to comp the item with peanut sauce and give us 25% off the order. Needless to say we will not be returning, as the blatant disregard of a deadly allergy shook our faith in the restaurant, the kitchen, and the professionalism of the staff. I post this review not as an attack on the restaurant but as a warning to other patrons who may have allergens that could be deadly. My only hope for the restaurant is that for the sake of their customers are better prepared and more understanding.

Lol I had to come back and change my review i gave it 3 stars but I was so pissed off on how the other food was the past couple times I was in there that it deserves 1 star . Service is great nice people the sushi should be the only thing that u get and thats still mid like if your craving sushi and u dont want to drive to middle town or dover its ok but the other food taste so generic it tastes like it came out of a box and its been frozen nothing fresh at all . And the roman bowl that really pissed me off 15$ im thinking is going to be nice roman . It legit looked liked they tolk the roman out of that 50c pack u get from the store put it in some chicken broth put a over cooked egg in it with a couple small pieces of what tasted like pork chops it didn't taste like pork belly at all . The stuff in that bowl was probably worth 3 or 4 $ and raised it up to 15$ . Its basically over priced collage food run by collage students i went in there one time and some kid was taking orders with both headphones on. The sushi is ok the rest frozen generic over priced trash

I think from now I will just order from the sushi menu because the other menu with apps/entrees everything on that menu you can tell is frozen foods just heated up. The dumplings are not dumplings they are potstickers. Also the lobster soup was not good at all maybe spoiled waitress didn’t ask if I wasn’t happy with it since I didn’t eat it. Then the lump crap dip not lump at all I didn’t taste any crab.

I've dined here twice. The first time, all was excellent (which is why I returned). However, the second time was really disappointing. I was there with a friend for her birthday, last Saturday, and we arrived for our reservation at 7.30pm, with the understanding that the restaurant would be closing at 9.00pm. By 8.20pm, however, the sushi bar was being packed up and cleaned with bleach, which ruined our experience of the wonderful food we'd been served about five minutes before. By 8.45pm, we were eating dessert surrounded by chairs cleared away onto the surrounding tables. A guy was also mopping the floor right by us, so our delicious creme brulee was accompanied by the view and smell of a pail of filthy mop-water. If a restaurant wants all its staff to go home by 9.00pm, then it should inform patrons that they have to be out of the establishment by 8.15pm. (I messaged the restaurant privately this week to discuss this issue, but they didn't reply. I hope this review will stop anybody else's special occasion from being spoiled in this way.)

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 worse food, it was cold, greasy and undercooked. Service was horrible! The fried shrimp were like rubber and the vegetables were soggy. Had to ask someone to find our server several times. Too busy on their phone! I think this placed closed and rightfully so. This was our third time there and two times it was bad.
Seems to be very popular for sushi with a lot of take-out traffic. Wife usually pieces together a modest collection of starters. I can't get past the duck breast dinner with three courses. I go for the delicious house salad. The main course includes exquisitely prepared pan seared duck breast, A mysterious flatbread ith duck confit, and the same delicious garden veggies offered as a side elsewhere on the menu. The chocolate "cake" is inadequately described. It is amazing. Yes Ihave been disappointed. One night they had no duck. I forget what I had, probably pad thai, and went home happy.

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

First time at this location. 13.00 a piece for sushi roll. Was all rice. The proportion size is nothing like the one in Chester. Tasted good but definitely not worth the money. Service was about 5% worthy.
