This has to be one of the most overrated restaurants in Denver. I am a sushi aficionado and have ate at almost every sushi restaurant in Colorado and many times in Japan. I know its hard to find good sushi in Denver but the experience at Sushi Sasa was horrible from start to finish. We ordered Ankimo(steamed monkfish liver) as a starter but it was red, dry, and stunk like a liver from a common fish. We ordered a Ginjo sake we were very familiar with but they served it in a bleach smelling glass that we had to get replaced. They never replaced the sake that went to the sink with the chlorinated glass! The sake was very watery and was not like the same sake we had before at other restaurants. It was probably old or split with another drink. They never opened the bottle in front of us so it could have been diluted with something else in the kitchen. The kobe beef we ordered was very ordinarily cooked and nothing special. As for the sushi, it was mediocre. The fish was about the same quality you find in other Denver sushi joints but the rice was awful. The rice was mushy and sticky in the mouth and did not balance with the fish. I was very disappointed with this restaurant after all the good reviews I have read and praise I have heard from friends. I will definately not go back and would recommend you spend your money elsewhere.
