    We have dined at SASA many times. The food (we generally order from the tapas menu page) is consistently tasty and served at the proper temperature, well presented and reasonably priced. The service has been good in the past, but last night, we felt invisible, if not downright forgotten about. Only a few tables were occupied. One seemed to have some sort of “celebrities”, as they received nearly all of the server’s attention. Even getting the check, so we could pay and leave, was a long, drawn out process.

    Our waitress was very attentive. Her name was Johanna. She made sure that all our water glasses were full on our tea was full. The food was absolutely perfect. We had two Birthday since she brought out a little birthday dessert with a candle. It’s a perfect little restaurant which sometimes can be a little bit loud, but we were away in the dining area and it was very easy to communicate. They have multiple selections of food from Sushi, pad, Thai, salads, and you can add a salmon on it it was perfect

    I have been dining here for years and never been disappointed. Food and service are always stellar. Chef and owner Scott Kim and his wife Brenda have been committed to doing things right since the day they opened in 2007

    Wonderful sushi—so fresh and beautifully presented! The tapas menu items and pad thai are also great. And the fries are to be missed! Good service, too.

    I have been here many times and this was for my son's birthday with her older sister and her boyfriend. It wasn't ridiculously expensive and the food was very good without any cause for suspicion at all! NOTHING was funky at all. We were greeted cordially and appropriately, completely attended to and without any need to catch the waitress' attention, had plenty of space; essentially totally normally treated. I would never hesitate to return.
