Sawa is great! This is a staple in our household, we come here pretty regularly and the foods been amazing everytime. The general tso tofu is some of the best I've ever had!

The new location is great!! Food and service at the bar were amazing Ryan and Tressa were kind and very attentive! Only input- turn down the bar lights and add some tunes!

Excellent Asian food and sushi bar. Dimly lit bar vibe. Always seems busy, but never too busy to get a seat. Chicken teryaki looks different at first glance, but then you realize it's the real deal teryaki after your first bite. Wow, delicious! I saw the waitress eating something good so I asked what it was. Got silly and tried her recommendation of seafood stew... except I got udon noodles. Hoowee it was delicious! Crab rangoon filling here is just right. If you're new, try the sushi, chicken teryaki, crab rangoons, or cocktails to start things off. You can pretty much order anything from here, and it will taste good. Reasonable prices. Will recommend!

Well, after living right near this place for over 3 years, we finally tried it and all I can say is: I'm an idiot. First off the restaurant is MUCH larger than it appears from the outside. I was shocked at the size of the bar and the sheer number of booths and tables. From the outside it looks about the size of a standard pizza place but it's much, much larger. The cocktail list was very impressive and the drinks were absolutely top notch. The sushi was FRESH and perfect! Entrees came out hot and perfectly cooked. The bill was reasonable and the service was excellent. What more can you ask for?! I can't wait to go back. This will be a regular spot for us going forward. Great place and great people!

The food was very good my most recent visit. I was happy for some vegan options where I was visiting my family. I got the veggie roll, green curry & kimchi tofu soup. Everything was very fresh and very yummy. I l loved the kimchi soup! There were other vegan options. The curry comes out in a sizzling dish.
