    An outstanding Japanese dining experience from start to finish. The ingredients were exceptionally fresh, and each dish showcased great technique and attention to detail. The grilled skewers were perfectly charred while remaining juicy and flavorful, and the beef dishes were rich, tender, and beautifully presented. The squid was fresh and delicately seasoned, highlighting its natural sweetness. Every plate was visually stunning and thoughtfully crafted. Combined with warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant easily earns five stars. Looking forward to my next visit.

I was quoted 30 mins due to all the parties ahead of me, it was really 10 mins. The staff were all nice, super attentive. The restaurant was extremely clean! The moment I sat down I was greeted by my waitress which I loved! Now let's get to the food! I ordered a shrimp tempura roll for my appetizer and the chicken teriyaki as my main entree, and a lemonade for my beverage. Everything was a 10/10! I got full off my appetizer so I ended up eating a few bites of my entree and taking the rest home. All that food for literally that amazing price! I see why they were packed! I had this placed saved in my bookmarks and I will most definitely be back! I think I found a new favorite!

I highly recommend making a reservation if you're coming with a larger group. The restaurant is quite spacious inside. Since our party was large, we were seated in a semi-private room. Another group was sharing the space with us, but it wasn't an issue and we still had a comfortable dining experience. Most of my coworkers ordered bento boxes, and the portions were very generous. I ordered the Salmon Lovers Roll and also tried a few of the other sushi rolls that we shared around the table. Overall, I've been wanting to try this place for a while since my coworkers have been raving about it, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I would absolutely come back again. It's conveniently located and just a short walk from my workplace, making it a great lunch spot.

Such a good time and the waitress staff was fantastic! Great personalities, very attentive, knew the menu inside and out. Great time - and a fair price for sushi! Some opinions of what we had.... Miso soup...very mild, light fish flavors, served nicely warm but not piping hot.  Pan fried gyoza.... tender, light, airy, smooth, great appetizer.  Unagi....a little dry, mild flavor, add a pinch of wasabi and it really pops. Solid product. Rainbow roll.... clean, light, nice and creamy, mild flavors. Delicious. Lucky roll.... our son wouldn't let me try it but he said it was good and delicious. Double hamachi....Great fresh fish, nicely made, easy to eat, adding an extra pop of wasabi erupted the flavors.

Told they'd be ready in five minutes which I thought was interesting. I arrived 15 minutes after placing the order, The place was empty- it was around 4PM on a weekday. No welcome in or hello from staff, I was asked "pick up?" And said yes and provided my name. I was informed they were still preparing my order-GOOD. I would've been concerned if it was ready in less time. I handed my payment card to the host, she struggled with inserting the card into the square device, as well as holding the chip over the device as well. After about 3 minutes she figured it out. I was handed my receipt to fill out. She watched as I filled in the respected lines. I did not leave a tip - as it was a up order, and service thus far was not to par. I waited for my order... 8 minutes later it was ready. Before leaving I checked the bag, order correct, but lacking my preference of soy sauce. I asked the host for more she came back with ONE packet, and tossed it in the bag I was holding. I said out loud "oh just one?" Then asked the sushi chef if they had little to go containers for soy sauce and if I could get one of those. He said yes and instructed the host to fill one for me. She did, came out and handed it to me with what I interpreted was an annoyed look. I said thank you and left. Fascinating to say the least. I guess I was asking for too much. Sushi was decent. Hit the spot. But have had better.

I especially loved their salmon in each of the bowls. It tasted nice and fatty and creamy. I loved the other fish as well though! I also felt that they did their tamago very well. Typically when I get tamago I feel like other restaurants don't get the texture correct and it can come out overcooked/rubbery so I don't end up finishing it. The tamago here was the perfect texture and the flavor/sauce made it really delicious. The texture of the rice in each bowl was great as well. The servers were both really nice and attentive throughout our meal which is always appreciated. I highly recommend sitting outside on the patio if the weather is good! Luckily, the patio is fully covered so the sun doesn't beat down on you which is great!!

I don't mind paying their high prices for fresh sushi, but the quality of their fish has been really bad. My fingers still smell fishy from picking off the "salmon" off the Honey Sake roll, which was basically a 2 mm thick piece of brown meat and not a real piece of sushi grade salmon. I still have a fishy after-taste in my mouth despite brushing my teeth. If this was a one-off experience, I would brush it off. However, when only one take-out order has been good out of the past 6-7 orders, it is time to move on. I wouldn't even try the new Yakitori restaurant they opened next door. I just hope I don't get food poisoning as my stomach is cramping right now. Hugely disappointed.

Tucked away in Walnut Creek, this is the perfect intimate, casual sushi spot for a relaxed date night or dinner with friends. The welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and fresh ingredients made for an outstanding dining experience. We started with the shrimp and vegetable tempura, which arrived hot, crispy, and perfectly light without feeling greasy. It was the ideal appetizer to share. For our rolls, we ordered the Volcano Roll, featuring spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, and the Arizona Roll, made with crab and topped with seared albacore. Both were beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The freshness of the fish was the star of the meal. The seared albacore on the Arizona Roll practically melted in your mouth, and every bite had a clean, fresh taste that showcased the quality of the ingredients. The Volcano Roll delivered a delicious combination of textures and flavors, with just the right amount of spice and crunch. Nothing was overpowering--you could truly taste the freshness of the fish and the care that went into each roll. The restaurant was spotless, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. Service was prompt without feeling rushed, allowing us to enjoy the meal at a comfortable pace. Fresh fish, crispy tempura, creative rolls, and exceptional hospitality make this a standout sushi destination in Walnut Creek. The only downside? Once you finish your last piece, you'll wish you had ordered more. We enjoyed our experience so much that we're already looking forward to coming back to try the omakase, which will definitely be on our next order.

I came here for dinner on Tuesday in June. Food was good. Had the chirarshi don and it came with miso soup. I wish the chirashi don had more veg and add ons like I've had at other restaurants. But not a bad experience at all. It's on the Main Street so I parked in a nearby parking garage.

Parking was a bit tricky as they had some sort of event and a lot of the streets were closed off so I had to drive around a bunch of times. Luckily I came earlier than my reservation time. It was pretty nice weather out so I opted for a table outside but the ambiance is nice inside. Dim setting if you want to sit inside. I ordered a spicy pineapple margarita for my drink but it tasted like it didn't have any alcohol in it so that was a bummer so I didn't really want to order any other drink. I ordered the spicy edamame for appetizer, but it wasn't spicy and lacked a little in flavor/seasoning. I still ate it as I needed some sort of vegetables. For my food, I ordered my favorite salmon melt! This is a must order when you come. Always a hit! (I dipped my edamame in the sauce and it added great flavor to it lol) They had a Mother's Day special for handrolls and I was tempted to try it but didn't want to be super full, so I got two nigiri's instead; one hamachi and one spicy scallop. Both were so good! I would definitely order it again. Hamachi was fresh and soft. Easy to chew. Spicy scallop was made with a spicy mayo and cut up into pieces. Both were really good portion sizes. I was full but wanted to order more cause they were so good. I was offered the dessert menu but I was full so I didn't order any. Love coming to Sasa. Great service, great food and nice restaurant. If you get a chance, definitely check them out!

The quality of the fish is so good. I got the Katie's special roll this time. It was so damn good! I could only eat half of it. And here is the real kicker- I can never eat sushi the next day normally. Wrong! This roll was delicious on day two as left overs. I'm seriously shocked there isn't a line out the door at this place. Best kept secret I guess? Come try this spot! The special roll menu is very large which I love because you can always try new and exciting rolls. This place is the GOAT.

    I was working in the area and I had a co-worker informed me of a japanese sushi restaurant nearby…read morethat he liked. Looking at Yelp, this was the one within walking distance which I presumed he was referring to. I ordered online, so I was able to quickly grab my meal and head back to my work location to eat inside. Inari Nigiri: I always enjoy me an Inari, and this location was pretty good. A big piece of tofu skin and a fair amount of rice complemented each other well. My only critique is I wished it was a bit more "vingeary" like flavor. I know I tasted the sauce there, but I wish it was a tab bit more noticeable. Chicken Teriyaki and Tempura Lunch Combo: This is so much food for a lunch combo. I honestly was able to make two servings out of this. The edamame beans are a nice appetizer to start and the salad had a very delicious dressing. The teriyaki chicken was as expected and the sauce was not overtly sweet. The tempura was also fried to crispy perfection for me and they gave you ample amount of vegetables and two pieces of ebi shirmp. Overall, I had a good time here and I would love to come back again.
