Great food! It's been in the same location for over twenty years; we've been going the whole time! I used to live in Japan and love to go here. I recommend the Japanese menu actually, though, if you are adventurous and like authentic food. It is written in Japanese calligraphy and changes daily. It is not inexpensive but the food is really good.

Lunch is much more economical. I recommend the Sasaki lunch if you go at lunch.

We ate here for dinner one evening and the food was excellent, but the next day we both woke up with a major headache and that could only mean one thing... MSG

This is just an amazing restaurant. The hot food is wonderful, the sushi is the best in town. They always fawn all over our kids, and give them special treatment, bringing them little dishes and little tiny forks and spoons. You never feel like they resent your kids being there, even if the child is having a moment. Its a great family restaurant without being fast-food or a chain. Now that they are non-smoking, it is a extra nice meal.

If you have not been to Japan and tasted what original Japanese food actually taste like, you will not understand this place...go to Blue Fish House, The Fish, Uptown Sushi or Azuma instead for good American style Japanese food that you will greatly enjoy. Sasaki is the closest thing you will come to eating in a trditional neighbourhood Japanese restaurant where you will get absolutely nothing but the freshest, best cut, high quality ingredients. It is a blessing to have places like this in Houston.

Great curry udon that not many Japanese restaurants have it. A must try.
The Grilled Fresh Water Eel with Rice is fabulous. The eel was so fat and creamy. It melted in your mouth.
All servers were Japanese. They are very polite but with limited English.
