SaSa Japanese Restaurant

My wife and I stopped here for a light dinner relatively early on a Friday night. We were seated right away. The sake selection was excellent, and we got sake to share. For an appetizer, we shared the chicken karaage. It was tasty, and a large portion - it could have been dinner for one. After that, we shared a couple of orders of nigiri and a sushi roll. Everything was excellent. The service was good if a little rushed, but it's to be expected anywhere at Japan Center. We had a good experience, and we would return.

No service at all, waitress are all ill mannered. Feels like they don’t care about customers at all, they only care about their tips. No money no smile. What a ridiculous
restaurant🤣🤣😅

Service is horrible, the waitress definitely needs to be trained. We booked reservation for 5:30 and wait until 6:45. We were told “Reservation does not guarantee your spot” Then what’s the point of making reservations? Waitress are super rude and no apologize at all, they basically feel like customers owe them money.

Generally my go to given the convenience and consistent fish quality and not yet really hard to get a reservation! The music can feel a tad loud at times given the small space and packed table.

December 2025 Japanese restaurant specializing in Omakase style cuisine. What makes them different is their mystery box style sushi 🍣 collection which is much of an IG feast in itself.

Service is standard and very informative

The place is very clean and bright with a relaxed layout with good privacy spacing.

Ideal for small groups and casual dinning.

No in place toilet

- ocean trout belly
- creamy scallop roll

Food was good but rolls were a little saucy. Sashimi was excellent. Service really lacked. Waiter was not very attentive. For instance, we had to ask for wasabi and gari. These are standard in EVERY Japanese restaurant. Also, we had to ask for napkins and clean plates. Waiter forgot to put in our order of Omokase. When asked, he said it took a long time (like we were almost done with our rolls) because the Sushi chefs had to cut the fish. Really? Just take responsibility and try to make things right. Also, I did not appreciate the waiter leaning across table to remove plates in middle of our conversation. At least say excuse me before intruding. At more than $75/person before tip, I expect much better service.

It felt very rushed- they shouldn't take a reservation if they need to tell you the kitchen is closing in 15 minutes as soon as you sit down. They were also out of avocado which is a key item for many things on the menu. It was good, but by no means the best I've had in SF.

I cannot speak highly enough of this elegant place. Amazing dishes, fresh ingredients, absolutely beautiful presentation, kind staff, and elegant atmosphere.
When in doubt, get Chef's selection of sashimi - it will be to die for!
Also make a reservation ahead, otherwise it is hard to get a table.
