Satori, Birmingham B13: Pomposity chimed loudly in the air' restaurant review | Grace Dent on restaurants
Briefly

In a recent visit to Satori, a Japanese restaurant in affluent Moseley, the reviewer noted a stark, dark decor reminiscent of 1980s design but critiqued the atmosphere for being stifled. While Satori promises a dining journey inspired by 'satori', or awakening, its execution was lacking, highlighted by missing drink orders and an overall lack of warmth in service. The menu offered familiar dishes that felt less innovative, casting doubt on its grand claims. The experience highlighted a disconnect between expectations and actual dining satisfaction.
Satori, an enlightening Japanese restaurant, designed in dark colors, aims for a unique dining experience but falls short in delivery and service.
The restaurant's claims of transcending the ordinary dining experience with 'satori' seemed pompous, especially when faced with issues like missing drink orders.
