Sophisticated Japanese eatery with fresh sushi, omakase, and unique rolls
"Within one year of opening, Sushi Sasa had been given the title of Best Sushi Restaurant by Westword, The Rocky Mountain News, and CitySearch, an honor for which they are very grateful. Sushi Sasa is also one of the 1,500 restaurants to be featured in the Zagat review of top American restaurants. In addition, the Gabby Gourmet listed Sushi Sasa as the only Japanese restaurant that is “to die for”." - Novel
"A lot has changed since 2005—Netflix doesn't send DVDs by mail anymore, Skechers are cool again, and the Platte Street neighborhood around Sushi Sasa has gotten a whole lot busier. What has stayed the same is that Sushi Sasa is still one of the best Japanese restaurants in town, and a go-to for ultra-fresh sashimi and rolls you won’t find anywhere else (like the delicious Dragon Roll topped with strawberries and unagi). It’s a bit fancier than other spots around Denver, so go for something like an anniversary rather than a first date." - allyson reedy

"A mainstay for omakase (at least in normal times), Wayne Conwell’s minimalist-chic haunt at the edge of LoHi continues to earn its long reputation for excellence not only with expert nigiri and maki — including daily specials such as cuttlefish or Hokkaido scallops — but also kitchen signatures like the French onion-inspired black cod soup. Monkfish liver or oysters with foie gras are always a special treat." - Gigi Sukin
