Reviews for Cafe Sado in Chestertown, MD
By far the worst excuse for sushi I've ever had. I honestly mean this, don't waste your money going there just to risk getting... food poisoning. Went there with my brother on a Sunday for lunch. Thought it would be a safe bet. The Hostess/Waitress waspolite and not at fault for this. The two "sushi chefs" were definitely not familiar with what is food-safe, and highly doubtthey had any form or Serv-Safe Certifications. The tuna was two different colors, and looked liked they tried to cut it with aplastic knife. The "rice-less" roll, ha, the cucumber was way too thick, the tuna had a very wrong dark hue to it and smelledfoul. That was immediately spit out. The rice wasn't proper sticky rice. It was more of a medium grain that they tried to sticktogether. Everything fell apart as soon as you touched it with soy sauce. The salmon wasn't cold, so that raised even morequestions. Tried the Ramen. Well, it's nothing to write home about. I can guarantee it was cheap store bought ramenpacks. Needless to say this, but I will anyways, I won't ever eat there again. I'm tired of hearing the excuses of, "It's hardto find employees to work in restaurants.". Or, "I'm sorry they're new chefs", Yeah, with zero previous experience and noattention to detail or food safety. If you can't offer quality, safe and appealing sushi/food, then just don't offer it.

Love the other location, this one not so much. If you?re going to open at a certain time, then be prepared to take orders and... serve food. Took about 15 minutes to get anything but a menu and there were only two other tables seated. Not sure what?s upwith that, if it?s lack of staffing etc, I just know I go to the other location all the time and have had nothing but greatservice. Read more
Ordered takeout. The sushi was splendid and the food was delicious. However, there was a little slip up with the order. I got... noodles without meat in them as opposed to my order of the chili garlic fried rice with beef. They were a little flustered withit being dinner so I understand. The food is still delicious and the workers are kind as always. Read more
What a great place! The atmosphere of Cafe Sado, nestled in an old Grain mill, was as cool as it was vibrant. Caroline, our... server, was on point throughout the meal. Fast, efficient, courteous. Food? Unbelievable! The Tempura Shrimp appetizer was verylight and flaky with an awesome sauce as well as Soy sauce that was NOT salty. My Asian Ceasar salad with Chicken was very welldone with great combination of flavors that did not overpower each other. The GF had the Chicken Broccoli bowl: outstanding! Thesauce was so light, flavorful and delicious. Rice cooked to perfection and the combination of veggies balanced each other. Andthe prices were great too! $40 for two entrees and an appetizer??? Wow. Great stuff, can't wait to get back! Read more
Ran out of Co2 and knowingly served flat soda, waited 40 minutes for sushi when we were the first customers in the door, sushi... was made with brown crab meat, old brown avocados and wasn?t even recognizable or edible and ginger had bad spots. And chickenin the fried rice was dry. First and last time eating here. Read more
Had a wonderful dinner here - they only vegan option I could find near Rock Hall. We had a bunch of staters - Butternut squash... dumplings, chicken satay, fried tofu and two sushi rolls (buy one, get over free). Good was great, service was great and thenplace was busy! Read more
Let me just say this was probably one of the best dining experiences I?ve had in a long time. They have a awesome menu and... everything we ordered was executed better than we imagined. It?s such a relief to know that there?s good sushi in the area, andthe cooked food is great too. The sea bass was amazing and the Kobe burger and fries kept my nephew happy(I stole a few friesand was a little jealous). I like the local character and the fact that it?s located in an old grain mill it gives it a certaintype of atmosphere, although it is a little cozy so if you come in with a larger party I recommend making a reservation.
