A creative, high-quality sushi spot in Clerkenwell with lively energy and fair mid-tier pricing; excellent fish and sets, though service consistency and occasional policy friction can detract.
SASA delivers exceptional food quality with pristine fish and expertly seasoned rice, supported by strong service knowledge and thoughtful design in its bright Clerkenwell space. However, occasional consistency dips in sashimi execution and modest comfort during peak seatings prevent grade A territory. The restaurant excels as a reliable neighborhood destination for quality sushi and creative sharers, competitive with London's better-regarded Japanese establishments.
One caveat: Service can feel rushed at peak times with 90-minute turnarounds
