The food has never been less than delicious. If you go during a peak meal time, it gets very busy and the parking is scarce so I recommend visiting during off times. The staff is good, not any sort of exceptional service though.

Vegetarian options: This place is amazing. The ramen is top notch and the sushi is unlike any other place. I highly suggest their red dragon roll!

My wife and I stopped by Sawa for the first time and had a great experience. We both love sushi and were impressed with the quality of ingredients and care in presentation. The staff were super friendly and attentive to our needs. AJ our waitperson and Tim the manager, gladly answered our questions and made us feel appreciated as their customers - An uncommon experience these days. Their menu is extensive and we'll be back soon to try more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended!!

I’ve been coming here regularly for a while now. Food is generally very good except ramen meat which tends to be old as they make it once a week. What prompted me to leave a one star review is when I came to the restaurant at 9.20 and they informed me they are closing at 10 therefore they no longer serve food. That’s really not how this works, but whatever.

The food is really good. We've been twice now and each time we have had a little variety. A sushi roll + a non-seafood meal.The sushi is really good. Some of the best I have eaten. The rice it really nice, not too sweet and not too vinegary. Not too sticky, but sticky enough to hold together well. The rolls are made to order so the seaweed doesn't get soft and difficult to chew. The toppings are perfect. The fish is fresh and well seasoned. The sauces are delicious. The combinations work.The other items we've tried have been really good too. The katsu was crispy, but not overcooked. The veggies were yummy. The curry sauce was nice, though a little sweeter than we prefer. That's personal preference and they offer sriracha. The dumplings and dipping sauce were delicious and the ramen was super fun. Very good broth, especially the spicy pork. The yum yum sauce is indeed yummy.Service the first time we went was 5/5. This time we were greeted by a new employee learning the ropes. And while today's service started at a 3, the rest of the staff quickly stepped in to support their new team member and brought it up to a 4.5. I was really impressed that the staff took the time to coach the new person through the challenges and praise what they did right. I suspect, that while like everywhere else it is hard to find workers, this place probably has low turnaround.

Been there twice with my girlfriend. Food, outstanding. Service, outstanding. Experience, outstanding. Introducing her to new things. Sashimi, fresh with good portions. Hibachi, super good! They actually give you a giant squezee of yumyum sauce. BTW, the yumyum sauce is top shelf. Big rolls are awesome. Girlfriend absolutely loved Shuman. Me too! Finally, sushi was fresh and delicious. Last finally, the young guy that works there is super knowledgeable, engaging & accessible. I recommend Sawa. ?

First, Ashton the server was amazing and juggling the entire waiting area. Words can't describe how hard she was working trying to wait tables, work the register, and greet the people while they come inside the establishment. Second, this business has an entire area that's not being used and they could at least allow the takeout orders to pickup their food on that side. It was very uncomfortable having customers come in standing over you waiting for food. Third, the cook must've been new because the food was not prepared like it's described by others on the YELP review. It appears the owner came in trying to alleviate the situation, but it may have been too late. Lastly, I will definitely return but changes need to happen going forward.
