They serve Otoro and Chutoro sashimi, and fresh. Automatic 5 stars. If you're a sushi aficionado, this is all you need to know. These cuts of "Toro" represent fattier parts of the Tuna, and an indicator that the place is legit.There are only two other Japanese restaurants that have it: Goma in East 4th and Issho Ni Ramen Sushi in Willoughby. These are about as uncommon as palm trees.My next quest is to find real wasabi made from wasabi root (and not the imitation wasabi made from radish that is ubiquitous).

Shrimp shumai was tasty, the standout here are for sure the fries which are amazing. Everything else I've had in previous visits is fine to good, nothing that really stand out as amazing for the prices. Small restaurant, can get loud but not a horrible vibeService is always fantastic

Came here for NYE dinner on a whim. This place wasn't on my radar previously, and that's a shame because this place was excellent! I love sushi but not all the places that I have tried sushi. But this place was soo good. The Sasa fries that are thick cut extra crispy with tangy sauce was a hit. The fish was fresh! Menu was varied and sure to excite all sushi lovers. They have some meat options as well. The service was a little slow, but likely due to NYE. The ambiance was cozy and endearing. Can't wait to come back to try more in a more casual setting.

Japanese/sushi restaurant. You can see that the food is fresh, with some minor hiccups. We ordered few different things (3 rolls of large sushi's, few appetizers, one main course). Essentially everything was good. The hiccups were that one of the sushi's was very fishy and the Sasa fries were a bit oversalted. Tuna steak was good, but just not my style so hard to judge it.

Came here for a casual date night and had a great time! Prices are high and portions are small but on par with Gingko and Goma yet slightly less pretentious. Loved the quiet, red-toned, romantic ambiance. Lighting was dim and decor was minimalistic. There's not much of an entrance and I had to look hard for the front door but once inside, it was welcoming. It's right next to Atlas movie theatres on Shaker Square so parking is wonky. But on a nicer day, the walk is nice. I was able to order off menu for one piece nigiri uni! Every sushi place I've been last year in Cleveland seemed to be out of sea urchin so what were the chances that a place that doesn't list this on their menu would have it and be so fresh? It did set me back $9 but it was fresh and buttery and perfect! They also have red chili oil and did not charge extra for it. We also ordered the chicken skewers and kobe beef meatballs. Taste was great and presentation was simple but pretty.

A friend and I had a terrific meal at SASA tonight. We started with the delicious SASA fries, nice and crispy with a dash of seaweed and two tangy sauces. Next was delicious shrimp shumai. We added shrimp pad Thai, which was steaming and tasty . We added a special roll with crab on the outside and temporary shrimp on the inside. Service was swift and friendly. The indoor was spacious and clean. We had a great time.

SASA is one of my professor's favorite sushi places in Cleveland, and I can see why. I came here for a little birthday dinner with friends, and we made a reservation for a party of seven at 6:30PM. We were all able to be seated promptly which was nice, and the waiter was attentive and asked us our drink orders. Some of us had the cocktails such as the lychee one, which were absolutely delicious.We decided to collectively share a variety of dishes. - toro roll: i'm a huge fan of toro, and I find getting the rolls to be much more economical than the nigiri. This was delicious, highly recommend, 10 out of 10- Fire island: This was quite delicious. I liked the spicy tuna on top. I overall personally find California rolls kind of underwhelming, so while this was good, would be wary of recommending it to those who prefer more raw fish.- Fuji volcano: this was also a delicious combination. You can't go wrong with shrimp tempura, and if you're a fan of Unagi, this role will be great for you. The texture of the tempura was great and crunchy. - Fresh salmon donburi: This was incredible. All of the fish were very tender and fresh, and it really felt like it was a good bang for your buck- Chicken katsu donburi: definitely a solid bit of chicken Katsu, however, I wish the dish overall were hotter. I felt like that chicken wasn't as hot and crispy as I would've liked.- Sasa fries: I saw that these were highly recommended on yelp, and I love fries, and these definitely did not disappoint. I never thought that the combination of seaweed and french fries would be so delicious. While we put in our order prior to 7 PM, by 8 PM we still have not received our food and we were all quite hungry. The waitress did come over to apologize for the delay and gave us a complementary bowl of edamame. We were so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of the sushi, but it was delicious. While I was definitely disappointed by how long it took for the food to come out, when we finally did receive our food, it was very delicious. I would definitely come back, but would hope that the kitchen would be faster next time.

I came here with a friend after going to the movies (which are pretty much next door, so convenient) and let me tell you, great choice.The interior is very modern and our server was super helpful. It was definitely a chilly day so we both started out with miso ($3) that did a great job at warming us up.I opted for the Fuji Volcano ($18). Shrimp tempura and unagi? Completely here for it. The seafood tasted fresh and it wasn't overly spicy despite the sauce. My friend got the Tako Nigiri ($3) and the Salmon Sashimi ($7) and she really enjoyed both. Overall I enjoyed this place. I will say that their specialty rolls hedge on the pricier side so that may be something to take into account. It's a bit of a drive for me but if I'm in the area it's definitely a great place to stop.
