A word from Sasa

Sasa is a new Japanese inspired restaurant in Walnut Creek. Izakaya Restaurants are traditional small plate restaurants where friends go to have a drink and unwind after a long day. Situated in the historic 100 year old building that for many years housed the Walnut Creek Meat Market, this… architectural jewel has been transformed by BH Development and Best Santos Studios. Chef Philip Yang (proprietor & owner of Blue Gingko, Lafayette) prepares Japanese influenced dishes from around the world. The staff welcomes you into their house and offers up comfort, hospitality and fun. The restaurant includes a full bar with a large Sake selection, outdoor patio, sushi bar and a commitment to fresh local seasonal faire.Continued

"Food was great! Service was great- food came out in a timely manner. We are big fans of the lamp chops, they are a must order. The only negative, but it's totally understandable is that there are only Japanese beers. I get the reason why, but it would be nice to have at least one or two nice mircobrews as options."

"We finally made it to Sasa and were not disappointed. We had friends tell us about it and said how great it was. We had an early reservation at 5:45 PM which we're glad we made. By the time we left the noise level and music had increased. As its small plates it's easy to get a bit carried away on ordering. Each person ordered several dishes (4 of us) in the beginning and then we added as we went along. The Tempura shrimp lettuce wrap was a great favorite as was the riblets. All in all a great meal and definitely would be going back."
