About this restaurant

Nestled in the heart of Walnut Creek, Sasa is an experience. A beautifully transformed 100-year-old building and be transported to a world of culinary delights. The ambiance is both elegant and inviting, with a serene waterfall and Asian-inspired decor setting the stage for a memorable evening.
Sasa's menu is a testament to Chef Philip Yang's passion for Japanese-inspired cuisine. He masterfully blends fresh, seasonal ingredients with global influences, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. From exquisitely crafted sushi and sashimi to innovative small plates, each dish is a work of art.
Indulge in the melt-in-your-mouth Salmon Melt, a harmonious blend of crab, avocado, and parmesan aioli. Savor the vibrant flavors of the Rainbow Roll, bursting with fresh fish and vibrant colors. Their extensive sake selection and expertly crafted cocktails offer the perfect complement to your meal. Now serving lunch, reverse happy hour, and try our flat iron steak.

    It used to be our go to place. Lately the food and service quality has been in decline. They are off their game by cutting on little things. Last night may be our last visit.

    As someone who lived in Tokyo for 4 years, this was the antithesis. Food and was ok, but not exceptional. Service was timely, but impersonal. Noise level was the new normal for the U.S. - intolerable and inconsiderate. Should have followed my first instincts and turned around at the front door.

    The rolls were very small and not worth the $25 each.

    We really enjoy dining at Sasa and have been visiting the restaurant for over six years. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making each visit a pleasant experience. However, during our most recent visit, we noticed that the dessert portions and main dished had been reduced while the prices remained the same. Despite this, Sasa continues to be one of our favorite spots for a great meal. They have vegetarian options as well.

    Thank you for your continued support over the years! We’re thrilled to hear you’ve enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. The reduction in portion sizes was not intentional, and it concerns me to hear that. I truly appreciate you bringing this to my attention and will address this with our team to ensure we maintain the quality and value you’ve come to expect. We’re grateful to remain one of your favorite spots and look forward to welcoming you back for an even better experience.

    We had a reservation for 8 o’clock. We showed up at 8:13 they let us know that we were in their 15 minute grace period but We weren’t seated until like 845 and a lot of people who came after us were seated first, so they probably gave my table away, which is understandable but they should’ve just told me. They also got rid of the outdoor patio, which is really cool. They let us know that the sushi would take 45 minutes to come. It only took about 30 minutes. Other customers were complaining about the wait for sushi. The food was good as always

Rude hosts at the door , late table seating , food was just okay .. I mean it seems like they were overbooked and didn’t know what to do then .. a hot mess ! That’s for sure
