I drove 45 miles to come out here and get this food. I heard about it from a good friend and had to stop in and taste it. The flavor was great. The taste was great. The appearance of the building was great and the customer service was top-notch 100% phenomenal And I will be posting this on my Instagram and YouTube for others to see how great it was.

I recently visited San Sari and was pleasantly surprised by how delightful the entire experience was! The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with friendly smiles and a quick, spacious dining area that’s for families, friends, or even a solo meal.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I tried the ramen, skewers, and sushi rolls, each dish had its own “wow” moment! You can really taste the quality in the ingredients. Portions were generous, and the balance of flavors was just right, especially the teriyaki and the rolls.

Service here truly stands out. The staff is kind, attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers’ experience. It makes the meal feel even more special.

Tempura was terrible, teriyaki was OK, would not go back again. Over priced for the amount

The food was ok, it was very hard to eat with these flys around. We kept having to swat them away from our food. They were on the sauce bottles on our table so we switched tables but they were on the next one as well. The staff was nice at least.

Used to eat here years ago..now back in town to find out that is place is not what it used to be. Just horrible food, run down place…an echo of what it used to be. They really should shut this place down. It’s a waste of restaurant place.

SanSai Japanese Grill is a casual counter-serve chain for health-minded Asian fare from sushi roll to salads to chicken breast. This location is at Lake ave in Pasadena.

Its interior decor and atmosphere were modest and relaxing, respectively.
Their menu items were vast. I ordered their Chicken Breast Plate x salad and soup. It has satisfying flavor and tender breast; I dig it. Service was fast. Prices were fair and competitive.

Overall, I enjoyed their food and service. Perfect for a quick meal. I recommend you visit.

OMG This is simply amazing! They did teriyaki right!! Freshly grilled chicken thigh not breast with authentic blend of teriyaki sauce!! And guess what it's just $9! I was like in a pre-COVID era dream and it's so wild!!!
