We had a great meal at Sam Sai! We ordered the tempura sampler, cucumber salad and tropical roll. Tropical roll with mango was delicious. Big portions for the tempura. Cucumber salad was okay. The best part was the service! We got there a little late and the wait staff was very kind and accommodating! :)

Always good!
I really don’t understand the low rating for this place. I’ve been coming here on and off for 6 years. It’s fresh, fast and affordable. I’ve always had great experiences and do take out. Just wanted to put in my 5 stars

It doesn't have the best reviews, but I'm shocked. The prices are great, and so is the food! Highly recommend one of my new favorite sushi places.

Had lunch at San Sai Japanese Grill, and it was a bit of a mixed bag.
First off, the outdoor seating on NW 21st Avenue was a real highlight-it was a beautiful day, and dining outside always makes for a more enjoyable experience. The service was great from start to finish, which is always a plus.
I don't eat sushi, but my dining companion does, and they love this place, so it seems to have its fans. As for my meal, I went with the teriyaki salmon bowl with brown rice and an oriental salad. While everything was fine, it didn't stand out.
*The salmon tasted like it may have been frozen. Not bad, just not high quality.
*The green onions were sparse, which was a letdown.
*The salad was good but unremarkable.
*The brown rice was exactly what you would expect-nothing more, nothing less.
San Sai seems best suited for a quick, affordable lunch, especially if you're not expecting premium quality. Would I personally choose this spot for a meal again?Probably not. But if you're in the area and need something light and reasonably priced, it's worth considering.
(Once again, I forgot to take photos before I started eating! However, you still get a good look at the dishes that were ordered.)

Ordered delivery and the food was hot and tasted so good! We ordered chicken Yakisoba, potstickers and calamari. Our usual place is Kokiyos in SE but they don’t offer delivery so we tried Sansai And we will definitely be ordering more! Definitely recommend!

The food was really good! While my friend was here she had a little allergic reaction to something in her sushi. We were able to talk to the staff and they switched her food out for whatever she wanted! They were super accommodating and helpful! Definitely recommend.

This is my husband’s and mine favorite sushi place! Excellent ingredient quality and the owner, Sunan, is always friendly and chats with us. Service is quick. The redbull, sansai special, and the baked snapper are our favorite rolls to get here.

Don’t pay attention to the negative reviews this place is my favorite Japanese food in Portland. Great service, price is more than fair for all the food you get. It’s amazing place to eat. I choose to celebrate my birthday here every year.
