Sado Mori has great food. The sushi tastes fresh. The ginger salad dressing is tasty. I like to also get their miso soup as well. You can get a soup AND salad with your entree. You can choose to dine at a table or go to the hibachi area where they cook in front of you. It is a fun experience and a great place to bring your family!

The sushi was pretty good, but the service sucks. Our waitress was very inattentive and we felt kind of ignored. When we got to the restaurant they were not busy and we were seated quickly, when we asked our waitress for a few minutes to look over the menu she said no problem - but then did not return for a really long time… once our sushi came out the sushi chef had made a mistake in including cream cheese on a roll that was not supposed to have any on it - this wouldn’t have been a big deal had our waitress come back to check on us but she didn’t…..my husband sat with a plate of sushi in front of him that he wasn’t going to eat for a good 20 minutes….the owner of the restaurant made a comment about our table having an issue to our waitress….and she chose to go greet other tables, grab other tables orders and do everything OTHER than coming to our table….thankfully the sushi chef noticed there was an issue and proceeded to remake my husbands sushi after speaking to him… our waitress went up to the sushi bar and looked very confused that we had another sushi order and my husband had to explain to her that the sushi chef had remade his food and told her he was going to eat his sushi quickly because we had been there for a long time…she leaves the check on our table and walks away - my husband walked up front to pay, making eye contact with our waitress - who quickly looked away and walked the other way to busy herself with something else. Everyone has an off night but this the 3rd time we come in and have this kind of service from THE SAME waitress…. We were closed out by another waitress and left…. not sure if I’ll be back - maybe I’ll just order to go next time….

The restaurant is quite dated. The food was average. The waiter was more interested in flirting with the bartender, his boyfriend I guess, than in paying attention to his table. Not a fan of this establishment. The tuna appetizer came out half way through dinner….it was sushi, raw, what took so long!

The tuna tataki was probably the best I've ever had, and I lived in Japan for 3 years. They have great spicy tuna and hibachi meals. Too bad I don't live near here. I'd come back many times. Easy to find with Google map. Staff was great and location had plenty of parking.

I eat in or get take out and their food is really very good. Excellent sushi. Their service is great and so friendly. Love this place! Oh, and their prices are unbeatable.

Excellent food! Excellent service! The sushi was fresh and delicious! I ordered the crunchy roll for under $14, and got a soup, with a salad too! Loved this place! ❤️

This was one of the best hibachi I've ever eaten. I was on a tight schedule, but I was craving hibachi. I ordered for take out to go. The lady at the front desk was very nice, and I only waited about 10 mins for my food to be prepared. Fried rice was absolutely fantastic and the steak melted in my mouth. The scallops were just mediocre. Veggies were on point. This was take out, I am sure if I dined in, it would have been even better. I would 100 percent dine here again.
