Sushi Sasa - Table reservation

I always read the reviews before I eat at a restaurant. Needless to say, I was hesitant with Sushi Sasa because of some recent mixed reviews.

I had to track down another employee to get refills on water and our check. It was a nice surprise to see an automatic gratuity for pretty lazy service. Wouldn’t recommend- better sushi spots around town

Ignored for the first 30min and not particularly busy. Both tables that were seated after us and service/drinks/food before us.I’ve been going to Sasa consistently since 2014. The new “tip-free” format has not improved the service. I’m usually a 25% tipper, and service used to be incredible. Sadly it’s no longer the case. Thankfully the food is still very good.

Omakase was phenomenal, as always. I live a block away and have delivery at least once a week. One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Denver!!
