“They were handing out samples of the seasme chicken and teriyaki chicken! Both were very tasty so I went for the teriyaki chicken! Food was fresh and hot off the grill. Good price too! I will definitely go there again. I liked this food choice over the other options they had in the food court.“
“This place was great. The fish was extremely fresh and served quickly. I was a little worried from previous reviews that said they had to wait for their food. We had a very short wait for extremely fresh sushi on a Saturday night. Highly recommend.“
“The food was great. Large portions, they serve fried rice and noodles with the meals. Plus soup and salad. The basic hibachi is the show, the show here was good, but nothing special. The food was key. The koi pond is pretty shabby and the bathroom looks dated and needs some upkeep. They have a wide range of booze at the bar.“
“This Place is awesome! I’m not from around here but I saw the pictures of the food and I ended up stopping in. NO REGRETS! It did not disappoint, my food looked just like the pictures and the owners are super nice people. If you’re looking for a lot of food and a great meal 100% give it a shot!“
“This was our 2nd time at Sasa and we've loved it both times. The menu has lots of variety, there's a very good wine and saki list, and several yummy desserts available. Service is friendly and attentive. The food is delish. We'll be back.“
“Wonderful food as always. I can here for either the third or fourth time with my husband and my mother and grandmother. The food is always amazing. This is easily the best hot pot place in all of the Cleveland area, at least out of all the ones I have gone to. The only thing is that the service wasn’t that great today. We had to ask for utensils, plates, bowls, etc. Our server would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time even though we were the only people there. At one point we had to go up to the front to ask the sushi chef for things because our server was nowhere to be found. The amazing quality of the food more than made up for the subpar service though. We will definitely be back.“
“A completely wonderful experience! My wife and I were exploring the area and decided for a quick bite. Great owners, very friendly and attentive. Food was fast and very fresh. Pork belly was out of this world! Noodles were excellent. Cannot wait to go back.“
“It was pretty decent, but some of the dishes left a bit to be desired. Service was fast and polite, and the restaurant itself felt fairly clean. I got the Char Siu, the vegetable spring rolls, the teriyaki wings, and the gyoza. The Ramen dish was definitely the best part, if only just a little plain in flavor. The gyoza and spring rolls were good for appetizers. The teriyaki wings I felt could have been better - something about their texture was off putting - they just felt a little too soft.“
“This is a good Asian Restaurant right there on Coventry Blvd in the trendy Coventry neighborhood. The atmosphere was pleasant and spacious. The service was friendly and polite. They did forget the soup for my take-out order so I had to remind them, which was not a big deal. Overall Everything was good.“
“I was going to a concert with my companion and I'd read about and been recommended to this place by someone in a Facebook group. I was pretty excited to try what was billed as "Authentic Japanese". Anyone who's familiar with actual Japanese cuisine knows the struggle. The atmosphere was nice, service was great, food was a bit of a miss. They certainly appear to try to be "authentic", and they come close, closer than most any non familiar with Japanese food person would be able to tell, but just not quite. One of my favorite dishes is Agedashi Tofu. I cannot tell you how hard it is to find this dish prepared right. Nearly all of the non Japanese owned or operated "Japanese" restaurants don't come close and many offer what is actually Korean or some other form of "fried tofu", with the Korean version being my least favorite, fried portions of tofu that are very dry and bland, in my experience. This place came close but there were issues. First there were two huge blocks of fried tofu, and it was actually prepared right, but never have I had such large chunks. They're usually several small cubes. They did get the bonito flakes right but I found them not nearly as smokey as they should have been, almost non existently smokey and didn't add to the dish as they should. There was absolutely no greenery, scallions, nothing. The sauce was very almost watery tasting and not very flavorful. Needless to say I was disappointed. Second would be the "giyoza", which was actually the topic of the Facebook group post on someone looking for authentic Japanese prepared giyoza. This place is definitely "not it". The "dumplings" we got were deep fried, in a shell that was thick and powdery tasting to eat. Just not in any way remotely like actual giyoza. The sushi nigiri we ordered was fine, much like any other decent sushi place, so no complaints there. Lastly the Nabeyaki Udon took forever to come out, the tempura to go with it even longer, and the broth was different tasting than expected. At that point we were pretty full, pressed to get to our concert as the wait for our food had set us back. We took the Udon to go but later found the noodles had soaked up all the broth and it was pretty unappetizing. The Yakitori was ok, not the best but not the worst. Lastly, the place is a bit hard to find. The frontage from the street looks like office buildings or something residential and you have to go around that and down a slope to the back bottom of that to get to the actual restaurant and even then we weren't sure we were at the right place until we entered. Overall, while most people will probably enjoy this place, someone who knows Japanese food, may not.“
