| - We found Satoya through Yelp. They are located in a strip mall on Sahara and Rainbow - the location was nothing to write home about, but surprisingly, the food was authentic and delicious (the owners, chefs and servers are actually Japanese unlike so many Japanese restaurants nowadays), the service was very good, and the price was ridiculously affordable. They have a good menu flanked by a $19.99 all you can eat sushi roll offering that also included kitchen-made items such as yakitori, edamame and other small eats - amazing deal.
Now this is a little known secret: they will actually cater for your party on Saturday & Sunday lunchtime, and anytime on Mondays. For our baby girl's first birthday, we threw a party at our house and contracted Satoya to prepare sushi for 70 of our guests. They brought their own equipment and ingredients, and was able to take and prepare custom orders from all of our guests. Well the food they prepared was a big hit with my guests, and they provided excellent service to everyone. They even stayed behind to help clean-up the house (so not their responsibility)!
I have returned several times since and have always been impressed by their food and service.
p.s. Satoya is owned and run by the nicest family from Okinawa. I just found out yesterday that if you ask for authentic Okinawa cuisine (apparently it's like island food, similar to Hawaiian cuisine), they will prepare it for you (not sure if it's on the menu?). I'm looking forward to trying that!
