One of the difficulties I find with the reviewing platform of Trip Advisor is the ratings go from "average to very good" .This is a good restaurant but not very good or excellent on an international scale. It is not also "average". Coming from the Asia/ Pacific region there are many local restaurants as good as this. However here the... More

Yes this is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in Berlin and the food is good. it has a great ambience and it looks really nice. That's a plus point. On the flip side they behave in a what I consider to be very arrogant manner, sometimes they don't bother to answer the phones at all or leave it... More

We were expecting a great night out with our 2 kids (1,5 and 4,5 old), and we were actually quite happy with the way it was going. Of course they're kids, so they were playing with the chopsticks, but other than that nothing bad. Then the waitress came to ask if we could be more quiet. We were surprised, because... More

Sasaya serves gently prepared Japanese food in a simple and sleek environment in Prenzlauer Berg. The price range is somewhere in the middle, hungry stomachs may find the portions a bit small. Besides, the daily menu-sheet needs graphic improvement, as it is very hard to read for people with impaired eye-sight. Nevertheless, Sasaya is always worth a visit.

Excellent selection, reasonable prices, nice and relaxed atmosphere and very good service. Would highly recommend it to any sushi lover. Do make a reservation, the place is very popular and gets crowded on any night of the week.

Excellent selection of sushi and sashimi; super fresh, great prices, lovely atmosphere with a great soundtrack. There are plenty of awful sushi joints in Berlin, and this is one of the few that is worth seeking out.
