I really enjoyed the authentic atmosphere of this restaurant. The service was great and even though I have never been to Ecuador, the food here gave me a taste of their culture. My family and I had a BOLON Mixto to start, which we shared before moving on to our main dishes. The BOLON Mixto, a staple dish for Ecuadorians, is made from plantains, pork grinds, and cheese. My husband ordered steak with sudado (sorry if I... View all feedback.

What stefanie rivera dislikes about Sari's Kitchen:

The restaurant is decent, but they shouldn't include gratuity in the bill and they overcharge on the percentage customers are expected to leave. If you spend over $100, you could end up paying $25 or more in tips. The owner should allow customers to add their own tip instead of automatically including it. It seems like the owner may be using tips to compensate employees. View all feedback.

The food was fantastic, however, it took a long time to be served. Other than that, the overall experience was good.

My husband ordered steak with sudado (sorry if I spelled that wrong), which is a moist rice and bean dish that tasted amazing. I had the fried filet fish, which was delicious and reasonably priced with generous portions. Our kids enjoyed a soup and shrimp ceviche. Overall, it was a great dining experience for us.

I absolutely loved the authentic atmosphere of this restaurant. The service was amazing and even though I have never been to Ecuador, the food gave me a taste of their culture. My family and I enjoyed our meal here. We started with a BOLON Mixto, a traditional Ecuadorian dish made with plantains, pork grinds, and cheese, which we shared to make room for our main dishes. My husband ordered the steak with sudado (apologies if I misspelled that), a delicious moist rice and bean dish. I tried it and it was amazing! I had the fried filet fish, which was also delicious and very reasonably priced with generous portions. Our kids enjoyed a soup and shrimp ceviche.
