The short ribs were brunt and very dry! The value of the fish was not worth the cost. The shrimp pad tai was good as was the calamari. First and last trip there!

Very delicious food here at SASA. The service was on point. I thought I’d be ordering sushi when I got there, but switched gears. There’s a wide variety of Asian food aside from sushi on the menu. I ordered the seared tuna under “tapas”. Ended up being filling enough for a meal, alongside a bowl of miso. Seared tuna is tricky and they passed the test. Only thing that’s a minor complaint is the price. An 8 piece sushi roll is on average $18. I ordered differently seeing that, but overall I highly recommend. My friend enjoyed her sliders, I think they were beef.

With a great selection of new Asian sushi, dinners and wines, the place to go for date night or just a night out. Parking is free and convenient and you have the pleasure of knowing you are patronizing a local merchant. Always great and everyone needs to try SaSa.

Sushi was not good. Thought for the price I would be more amazed. Poor quality. I can get better tasting sushi from a grocery store. Never coming back. Do not go here ! I don’t understand what there is to like ! Also got a tapas -broccoli and cauliflower…I could make that better myself. Very disappointing!

Once again, SASA came through with a wonderful meal complemented with great service. The tapas we ordered (quite a variety, from shrimp to mushrooms & tofu to Kobe meat balls to crab cakes) came from the kitchen piping hot and prepared to perfection. Save room for dessert…the brownie (with green tea ice cream) was a nice portion size (not too big). The crime brûlée sampler (three flavors) was enough for sharing. Can’t wait to go back when the patio is open,

Service and food were outstanding. Only complaint was the back of the booths is very loose on both sides and anytime. The people behind us moved the seat back-and-forth. Not Relaxing. Overall, one of the best restaurants in Cleveland

This was quite simply one of the best meals I've ever had. The combination of flavors and the wide variety of tastes present on their tapas menu is astounding. The Norwegian Mackarel and the Tofu with Mushrooms were the standout dishes from the night, not only on taste, but presentation as well.
