Sado

I came here for my birthday with a table of 5 and had a great time! We went at 5:30 on a Thursday to do the social hour tasting. They were very accommodating and allowed all 5 of us to do the tasting even though it’s usually for 2 (so they charged us for 2.5 tastings). I was surprised by how much food was included in the tasting - by the time the desert came out I was full. The nigiri was my favorite; when the first one came out we asked for soy sauce and the waitress told us we wouldn’t need it. She was 100% right. The staff members were all very knowledgeable about the menu and very personable. The atmosphere was very nice too. Probably some of the best food I’ve had in STL. (I believe our waitress’ name was Elise. She was amazing.)

After visiting Japan, my expectations for sushi are high and Sado absolutely exceeds that. This is definitely the best high quality sushi fine dining experience in Saint Louis. I recommend doing omakase, the waitress was incredible in pairing the best dishes for our taste palette. I also ordered the butterfly pea lavender iced tea, and it was so perfect. Arguably the best iced tea I’ve ever had, not too sweet and very refreshing. 10/10 experience!

First time having SUSHI and WOW truly amazing. Im addicted to it, the best service, the best food, the best atmosphere and they really cater to your needs/allergies. I highly recommend SADO and love every time we have been

We made a dinner reservation here because our favorite waitress, Elise, started working here a while ago and we haven’t been to visit her. Request to be seated in her section if you want a night of warmth, attention, and culinary knowledge. Definitely need a reservation. The restaurant was full but not overwhelming. The layout was broken down in to several smaller rooms so it still felt intimate with a low noise level. We showed up early and enjoyed unique expertly crafted cocktails. I had a dirty martini with chili oil that has become my new favorite drink! Incredibly unique menu. We are huge sushi fans but the variety in the Sado menu is immense and it screams “be brave! Eat something besides salmon rolls!” The executive chef, Nick Bognar, describes the menu as Japanese Thai fusion. So we got brave! We went with the Omakase tasting which allowed our fabulous evening guide Elise to lead the event. This was a fun option that put so many menu options on our table I might not have otherwise tasted. Come with an empty belly and an open mind. You’ll not be disappointed!

My husband and I had the most delicious meal here. When we travel, we often seek out good restaurants for a treat! This place is A++ across the board. The staff was friendly, and we only waited 20 min as a walk in. The apps, main dishes and dessert was DELICIOUS! Though it was expensive, it was worth every penny. Take the waitresses suggestions, they know what they are talking about. Can’t wait to come back here next time we are in St. Louis!!!
