| - Sasa Sushi's AYCE option really filled me up for $21 (lunch price). A bargain when compared to some AYCE sushi restaurants in Las Vegas.
Here's an overview of their AYCE:
There's a 45 minute time limit for lunch; 1 hour for dinner, I believe.
AYCE menu options are decent. Plenty of rolls and hot food items.
Excluding deep fried rolls, you can order 1/2 rolls.
FOOD
Pain in the Ass Roll: The name did make me laugh out loud, so I had to order. I do like this roll, but I thought there was *too* much sauce on my plate.
Masago and Tako Nigiri: The masago was meager and not "robust" as others I've had. I do like how you can request quail eggs to top. The tako was too chewy and the rice vinegar for the sushi rice was strong, so I didn't enjoy the flavor-texture combination.
Japanese Lasagna: I thought there was too much cheese. It's difficult for me to figure out if there was too much cheese in the rolls or on top -- both, maybe? But being a cheese lover, even that was excessive.
Unnamed Roll: The sushi chef created two pieces of sushi for us on the fly. The pieces had imitation crab on top of rice and were wrapped with a thin slice of tuna, which kind of reminded me of bacon. Not bad, we enjoyed it.
SC 7 Roll: The roll is wrapped with soy paper and has drops of srirracha sauce on top. I thought I would like this roll, but the flavors didn't meld well. As much as I love srirracha, I thought it was what threw the flavors off-balance.
Tempura Ice Cream: Tempura battered vanilla ice cream served with chocolate syrup and a spray of whipped cream. Didn't care for the texture of the thick tempura shell. I also thought this was underwhelming when compared to the tempura ice cream that RA sushi has, which is the best one I've had so far in Las Vegas.
SERVICE
The service here is terrific. Staff is friendly, competent, and attentive.
OTHER
Sushi that isn't tightly rolled = contents will fall out.
Maybe I'm just being picky, but one of the rolls ordered wasn't arranged neatly. I bring this up because I've before never seen sushi rolls presented sloppily. It reminds me of what my plate looks like when I hit up a sushi buffet and grab sushi pieces and plop them onto my plate.
OVERALL
My rating for Sushi Sasa is a 3.5/5.0. The service is wonderful and the price for the AYCE lunch is awesome. The rolls are fine, but I wouldn't order the same items again.
