Sasa Japanese Restaurant

Sasa - Review - Japantown - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Sasa is a Japantown mall sushi spot that can be as casual or high-end as you want it to be. In the warm, mostly-wood dining room you'll find dressed-up birthday revelers celebrating with a $98 omakase alongside groups in jeans stopping by for a few rolls after a Hi-Chew shopping spree at Daiso. Everything is consistently good, especially the $46 “mystery box” filled with chef’s choice sashimi alongside little balls of sushi rice. We also like the creamy scallop specialty roll and the decadent and briny uni and ikura donburi. Food Rundown Mystery Box This adorable wooden box is filled with chef’s choice sashimi and balls of sushi rice to go with each. Getting the six- or nine-piece box is a great way to start things off here. Mini Uni Ikura Don We love getting this small dish of sushi rice, ikura, and uni to share with a friend. The salty, creamy flavors mix beautifully, so definitely clean up every last grain of rice from the plate. Creamy Salmon Roll For something a little more substantial than nigiri or sashimi, this salmon roll with white tuna, avocado, and spicy miso aioli is our go-to. Crunch Roll Another hit off the special rolls section. It’s a fluffy crunch-fest with snow crab, grilled eel, and a drizzle of silky unagi sauce." - Julia Chen
