Super cozy small little shop. Food is authentic and homestyle, not too pricy. Very good service, they bring kids cup and extra bowl and everything without asking. Miso soup on the house right away.Delicious and our go to cozy choice in the area.

We just ate here for the first time two nights ago--went on a sunday night around 7:30 pm and the seven of us were sat right away. The service was very fast and the restaurant wasn't too crowded but not empty.We ordered 2 house salads for the table, spicy salmon crispy rice, spicy tuna crispy rice, and edamame all to share. Everything was great, however, I would get the spicy salmon crispy rice over the spicy tuna. For rolls I got a yellowtail scallion and spicy salmon. The salmon was just covered in spicy mayo which I was not a fan of so I wouldn't recommend that/wouldn't get it again. Definitely just stick to easy and simple rolls, I guarantee that will be best. They also start you off with free miso soup which was so good and we enjoyed that. My friends also enjoyed the nigiri, and in agreement with simple rolls. The sushi in ann arbor has been pretty good, but I think this is the best I have had so far and definitely the cheapest. It ended up being $19 a person before tip, which is unheard of. Would recommend and I will be back:)

Just happened upon this place while staying at the Bell Tower Hotel before the game. Aromas hit me as I walked in and was seated by the window. When I looked at the menu, I wasn't sure if I was missing something, since the prices looked low. It wasn't busy, but the other diners seemed happy. Why not? I was greeted with a complementary bowl of miso soup. So flavorful and warming! I had a tofu roll, Tamago (egg omelette) and fresh salmon sashimi. Nice portions and very fresh. My server was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. Another bonus: the bill was less than $15. I couldn't believe my eyes and felt kinda of guilty, even though the bill was correct. I had to leave a substantial tip to justify myself!

Came here with a friend and ordered the fancy roll combo (around 17.00) and spider roll (around 15.00). The location is very good, it's in the UMICH campus. When we got there it wasn't packed but the service was a little slow. We waited close to half an hour for the first plate to arrive. A lot of the dishes came out at once, so I kind of feel like the waitress was just not paying attention, but I'm not sure. The food came a few minutes after we asked about the order.The combo was worth the price (you're saving like $10 compared to buying the rolls separately, so it's worth your money). Sadly, we never tried any of the sashimi rolls. The Spider roll was good. It was fresh and the pieces were very large. Decent place for dinner if you're not in a hurry.

BIG fan of the chicken katsu here. The portion size is definitely worth the price - I had leftovers! The crispiness of the chicken was excellent.I have gotten sushi from here before, and I have no complaints.Honestly, the best thing about this restaurant is the service. The main woman who runs the service is the star of the show. She is efficient, joyful, and reliable. She can handle every table at once, when the restaurant is at peak capacity, and makes sure that everyone is taken care of. She does not slow down, and is on a mission that you enjoy the food and get to your next scheduled thing on time. My friends and I are typically in a rush to get out before lunch time ends, and she makes sure we do so. Worth returning, and I will be back for sure.

I had tried this place since so many of my friends had recommended it. However, when I went there for lunch, there was only one waiter/cashier for the entire restaurant. So many people had to wait to be seated, to order their food, and to pay and leave. Not to mention the food gave me food poisoning! I had a sushi roll and the spicy chicken ramen. The chicken in the ramen looked very pale and frothy (so bad I didn't even want to try a piece) and the broth (which was supposed to be chicken) smelled and tasted fishy. I only had a few sips before feeling gross. I then fell ill the day after. I truly hope no one else got sick that day since there were quite a few people also ordering ramen dishes!

Mama Satto is my favorite sushi place in Ann Arbor. This one time recently my friend and I had delicious sushi and great service. It was really cold out and they brought us complimentary miso soup (which we always get) and green tea (which I think was a cold day special). I enjoy their house salad, crispy rice appetizer, and special rolls, but my friends are always satisfied with what they order. This time I ordered the Tuna Tataki and Dragon roll which were both great, and my friend ordered the cucumber roll, salmon roll, and chicken teriyaki roll. We also shared the yellowtail nigiri which was delicious. Because they weren't busy our server was extra kind and bagged our order for us. Usually they are swamped and don't give as much individual attention, that's the one criticism I have for them -- maybe hire some more wait staff. Considering the sushi is really good their prices are not crazy, I think the total for my friend and I together was $65. I love it here, my favorite sushi place always!

I love the food, atmosphere, and the customer service! I usually get the volcano roll, and the miso soup is also very good! My usual waitress is a very nice lady who often checks up on the meal, and it's a cozy and well-designed restaurant. :) One of my top sushi places here in Ann Arbor!
