- Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014The menu is fusion without being fusion, new but classic -- and all of the sushi is superb. Bring the gold card and don't forget to make reservations. Read more
- Denver WestwordJuly 11, 2013You have to order one of chef-owner Wayne Conwell’s imaginative omakase menus, which offer the best in modern and traditional Japanese cuisine. It’ll keep you coming back for more.
Brittany EgertJuly 20, 2013This was the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The seared albacore tuna sashimi was out of this world, & the diablo roll is the best. The spicy ponzu & macho sauce are unbelievable.
Helen YuenOctober 5, 2018Really like the ambience here. The lighting makes a huge difference & the small candle on the table. Service is excellent. They are friendly & all speak in a soft voice.
It's pricey, but this is some of the best sushi in Denver. Others will go for the noisier Sushi Den, but it's nice to be able to have a normal volume conversation here.
Brandon WestOctober 11, 2015This spot and Sushi Den are the best in Denver. Sushi Den has a cooler atmosphere but Sushi Sasa is quieter and a bit calmer. Fantastic fish and service at both.
EaterJuly 30, 2012Sushi Sasa offers traditional Japanese food and barrows influences from other global cuisines. With a simplistic decor and attentive service, Conwell's refined food truly shines. [Eater 38 Member]
Irays MunozJanuary 7, 2015Definitely one of my favorites in Denver, the sushi is amazing, who would have thought strawberries and sushi would taste so good. Highly recommend it.
Chris LJune 18, 2017Sushi Sasa is a must whenever I'm in DEN. Refined Japanese cuisine and gracious service. Every tapas dish wows my guests.
Jose LabartheJanuary 6, 2017Spectacular food, ok service. Niguiris and the pink lady roll are the best.
- Chris LJanuary 26, 2016This is our spot for good eating in Denver! The sushi chef takes really good care of you.
- DesireeJune 18, 2014Great Omakase. Mosty hot dishes and small plates. Some sushi at the end. Chef Eiji is the Best!
Emily PAugust 4, 2011You WILL NOT go wrong with the diablo roll or the firefry roll. Two of the best I've tried, but I doubt you'll be disappointed with anything you order here!!
Chirashi Bowl is the bomb. Comes with soup and salad!
Brandi KoskieAugust 20, 2011You MUST order the dragon roll. Don't look at the price, just do it. Those strawberries are game changers.Sitting in the "basement" isn't ideal, but better than waiting an hour for a table.
Best sushi in Denver. The atmosphere, staff, service, and food. All awesome!
Benjamin BlackmerDecember 8, 2015Classy sushi. Good sake list. Waitress was fantastic. She really steered us right.- Ben BuescherOctober 24, 2010Probably the best Sushi in Denver, right there with Sushi Den. So fresh it makes you wanna slap your mamma. Try the Diablo roll and the Uni.
MarkApril 3, 2012Diablo, spicy tuna, and catepillar, and dragon rolls are spectacular. Ykc is skippable.
Brett ValensteinJune 19, 2010Love the ambiance here -- almost felt like I was back in Venice Beach. The Diablo Roll is AMAZING and not to be missed
OMG..I just tasted an orgasm...Diablo and Dragon Roll. It's a must have. I now have a new favorite restaurant.
Freda MoonSeptember 4, 2014Happy hour is a joke. High end of normal prices and they stick you in the basement dungeon.

"Sit at the bar. Order omakase. Jam out to old school hip-hop. Service is on point as is the food. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Omakase changes daily but is usually around $90/person."
