The sashimi was perfectly fresh, moist and flavoured and we were offered a good mixture of fish including salmon, mackerel, tuna and halibut.
My wife loves it here, I'm not a great Sushi lover so generally go for the udon noodle chicken dish, which is tasty. Staff are attentive and ordered dishes were fairly quick to arrive at the table. Restaurant is also clean and tidy. Overall recommend.

Satori is located at the end of the toy section on the uppermost floor of Bentalls - I actually found it by accident, recognising the name from the previous Rotunda location.
Having not eaten an entire day, I decided to sit down around 4pm for a meal in Satori since I wanted to see what the place was like and didn't really want to wait to get home until I could grab a meal. First impressions - restaurant looks very clean and nice, seating is a little... strange in the front area as the wooden benches are bolted to the floor and slightly tight to get into. Server was very nice and helpful. Even offered to help explain the menu, although I did decline as I felt I knew enough to understand the differences between maki and nigiri etc. If you don't want those seats, there's also the bar-style seats by the conveyor belt.
What I ordered was rather small : 1 order of salmon maki, and 1 chicken noodle soup/miso. The total came out to around £9.35, and for that price you get 4 rolls of some absolutely delicious maki, and a roughly medium-looking bowl of some of the tastiest soup I've had the pleasure of savouring (complete with water chestnut, great-tasting chicken and some sort of leaves - none of that faux-Japanese liquid garbage). All the right mixtures of sweet, salty, and slightly tangy in exactly the right places.
I will say that anybody comparing Satori to the YoSushi downstairs is not thinking straight, as it's like comparing a Lidl to a Whole Foods because they "both sell food". Satori's prices may be a little higher than what I've seen in some places (mind you, the maki is cheaper than YoSushi...), but I believe that's strongly reflected in what you get. The only reason I'd ever drop in to YoSushi anymore is probably because they offer a substantial student discount, however they don't offer a card menu outside of their sushi.
So my overall recommendation is definitely a huge plus for Satori Kingston, in giving me the opportunity to taste some of the best food I've certainly had in a while, and in a good-looking, reasonably-priced location too. If you do plan to go, take advantage of their "5 Plates for £15" offer they do on Mondays. Makes it even more worth going. Will definitely be back, likely with friends!
