| - It's an act of trust and faith, eating sushi in the Midwest. While I can look out at a large body of water, it's not the same as being on one of the coasts, where I can at least have the illusion of my fish being pulled from the sea mere hours before it adorns my plate. And yet, I can't stop myself from trying, sometimes to not-very-good effect.
Sasa is a welcome success in the Midwest sushi quest. Settle into their welcome atmosphere, and you will quickly feel at home, thanks to the banter of the friendly staff. The menu makes good use of the types of fish available, with some imaginative rolls, and the kitchen will accommodate substitutions and special requests.
But before you get your fish on, be sure to have the fries. A strange specialty for a Japanese restaurant, they are some of the best fries in town, neck and neck with Lola fries for number one.
The sake menu is extensive, for those who drink it, and the appetizers quite tasty, particularly the lamb ribs. Definitely one of the best things about Shaker Square these days.
