the food takes a long time to be ready, and the staff are quite indifferent when picking up an order

This place rocks and it’s not too pretentious -The atmosphere is wonderful- get the oyster with the uni.

I am so impressed with the delicious food! Add to this, I’m amazed with the freshness and quality , particularly since I live a good distance and have only been able to do delivery. The mere fact that I could order a delicious, perfectly cooked piece of succulent cod fish at 1 am , have it by 1:30 at my door, and find it as warm and as fresh tasting as though I were in the restaurant, is beyond amazing. I’ve tried about 5 other deliveries from Izakaya Sasaya, as well (always including this delicious cod fish) and each item I’ve tasted is great! I’m in!

Food was amazing. We had some yakatori, quail eggs, salmon nigiri, cabbage salad- all delicious. Service was great- can use tablets or a server, who was great. The place is decorated like a real Japanese izakaya. It’s great.

I don’t mean to be rude, but this is the worst sushi I have ever had. The service was okay. The guy forgot a few things a couple times. Nothing tasted fresh and it was overall disappointing…

Love Sasaya!
It's a bit of a Tokyo dive bar vibe, with really good food. Definitely not a fancy place... but Fun to have food and drinks with friends.

Long wait time, bad service

I’ve been coming here for over 15 years. While the format of the seating has changed a lot (especially since the pandemic) and I’m not the biggest fan of the current setup (too many walls blocking everything, the tablets never work properly), the food is still solid. Try the miso black cod, crispy salmon skin salad, crispy rice with spicy tuna, or mental butter udon.

I came here with a group of friends and was treated exceptionally well while enjoying great food. The prices and service are very good. We enjoyed a pitcher of Sapporo, a sushi roll, takoyaki, a massive croquette, and an awesome fried nagaimo dish. I loved the cozy, private vibe. This place is truly a gem and I highly recommend it. Will be back for sure.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Sat immediately, ordered what we wanted off the tablet, and the food was brought out at a considerate pace. Hung out without feeling pressured to leave. Ordered more. Loved every bit of it!

The server girl was very nice.
Thanks to you, we had a great time!
The recommended eggplant with miso was delicious.
However, the one with raw oyster salmon roe on top is also good value for money.
It's open until 24 hours, so you can use it for anything you want, including the second store.
Orders can be made from the tablet on the table, and you can also order with cash pay as you go.
It's a very nice shop where you can feel free to come.
Apparently the bar next to it is only open on Saturdays, so I thought I'd definitely go there next time.
Thank you for the meal!
