Satori is a cozy, consistently excellent Japanese restaurant in the heart of Belfast — a town you might not immediately associate with fresh sushi, thoughtful cocktails, and a refined dining experience, but it absolutely delivers on all fronts.
The fish is reliably fresh, the sashimi is clean and delicate, and the signature rolls — especially the Miso Hungry — are well-balanced and deeply satisfying. Their cocktail menu is outstanding, and the sake list includes everything from approachable bottles to premium selections that show they take their drink program seriously.
The interior is warm and intimate, with a smart layout that gives every table its own space. The lighting is perfectly tuned — not too dim, not too bright — just the kind of low-key glow that makes a dinner feel relaxed and personal without losing any clarity. It’s one of those places where you immediately feel at ease.
The service has been excellent every time we’ve gone. The staff are professional, attentive, and clearly care about creating a good experience. We drive an hour to get here, usually once a month, and we’ve never left disappointed.
Located right by the water in the most inviting part of town, Satori fits naturally into the rhythm of Belfast — a place that already feels like classic coastal Maine. If you’re anywhere in the Midcoast area and want good sushi served with care in a space that feels genuine and thoughtfully run, Satori is well worth the trip.

We come here when we are in Belfast for date night. I love the Satori Salad, and my wife tries different dishes that have not disappointed.

Went there for a date, it was a wonderful experience. Had never been there before until today but I'd definitely go back. It was a bit pricey but we each got two entrees. All the food was divine, high quality and definitely worth the price. The mocktails were delicious too. Around the the end of our meal, we got dessert and to go boxes for our left overs.

We once again had an amazing dinner at this little gem in Belfast. We’ve had our share of sushi, and the food here ranks some of the best. That, and the drinks that the bartender serve are some of the best quality cocktails. We come back again and again for the food and drink but most importantly, the owners and staff that run the place make you feel at home each time you walk through the door, and that’s the type of place we like to support. Thank you!

Gluten free options that don't disappoint! Great food all the way around. Wonderful ambience, with a friendly staff that knows JUST the right time to come over. Never felt they were at the table too little or too much, incredibly professional. The service made me feel like I was in the big city. Very popular place (including take out!) So make sure to reserve your spot. We can't wait to go back.

Every time we go to Satori in Belfast it is an absolute treat. It is obvious the minute you step through the door that the owners really care about your experience at their restaurant. Almost always there to great you with a smile and ensure that your dining experience is top notch.
I primarily eat sashimi, so the quality and freshness of fish at a sushi restaurant is obviously of the utmost importance. I have NEVER had one single bad slice of seafood here.
Besides the fish, the ramen is excellent, and the way they prepare their pork belly is spot on. I would highly recommend the pork belly bahn mi bao. The wings are also amazing, they must brine them, because they fall off the bone, whilst simultaneously having a perfect crisp and crunch to the skin. Everything was presented in a conscientious way that is appetizing for the eye as well as the palate.
Easily one of the best sushi restaurants in maine, and hands down the choice for the mid-coast area!
Delicious food, best cocktails around, extremely friendly/tolerant staff
