    We had sashimi and several other dishes. Overall, the food was very fresh, and the fish literally melted in our mouths. Totally worth going if you want fresh and delicious sushi. The Toro-toro roll was to die for—again, we could not be more satisfied.

    Each year, I enjoy the dining experience of the prior 11 months. KUSAKABE is a marriage of art and food. I know to remember carefully each dish since the next will be so extraordinary that if all senses are not fully engaged for each taste, it might be forgotten for the next extraordinary taste. In 2025, my objective is to dine at least three times at this rarefied gift

    This restaurant never disappoints! The staff is on top of everything, service is kind and fast, food is consistently outstanding. It’s one of our favorites in Marin! Pro tip: order the dumplings, tempura, sunomono salad w crab, crunch roll or the sushi or sashimi plate. Save room for dessert bc their sorbet trio is always good. The spinach salad and mixed greens salad are also good. Black cod melts in your mouth. Basically, order everything - it’s all good!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sata Omakase, and it was a truly exceptional experience. Chef Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable about the various seafood ingredients, showcasing his expertise with each meticulously prepared dish. The focus on healthiness and maximizing the palate experience is evident in every bite, making for a delightful culinary journey. Manager Alan, an experienced Sake Sommelier as well, pairs each glass of sake perfectly with the dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. His recommendations truly elevate the meal, complementing the flavors beautifully. The only minor drawback during my visit was the lobster dish, which I found to be a bit too flavorful for my taste. However, this is a small note in an otherwise near-perfect meal. Overall, Sata Omakase is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine sushi and expertly paired sake. I can’t wait to return!
