SASA - Cleveland

I may have had high expectations, but I was disappointed with Nigiri Sushi. I expected a high-end Japanese restaurant, but it felt more like a casual Asian diner with expensive prices. We visited for my boyfriend's birthday on a Wednesday evening, and the restaurant was not very busy. The service was fine, and the food was okay, but for the price of $160 for two people, it was not worth it. The nigiri sushi and special roll we ordered were not impressive. The Calamari sautéed with ginger was overcooked and tough, with a very sweet teriyaki sauce instead of ginger. The server also poured too much soy sauce into our trays, which was odd. As a Japanese person, I know how sushi should be, and they put too much rice on each piece. The only dish we enjoyed was the SASA Fries, recommended by a friend. It was disappointing that $13 French Fries were the highlight of our meal. We may return for the fries, but not for the sushi.

The food was amazing! I ordered the beef brisket and sasa fries, both of which were delicious. The green tea dessert was a pleasant surprise and had a unique flavor. The service was excellent, with constant refills on drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only downside was that there was no music in the atmosphere, but the football game playing made up for it.

Best sushi in the area in my honest opinion. The chefs truly stick to the art of sushi and you can tell with every bite. I highly recommend. The spring rolls are amazing as well.

Amazing food!! Loved the lobster bisque And shrimp pad thai!! Nice staff and excellent service

The food come out very clean. The sashimi was very fresh and the miso soup was delicious. The owner is Korean . I was looking for a restaurant run by Korean Japanese. That's why I love SASA restaurant so much. I will come often.
