Sushi Sasa.

As an east coast-er, it is hard for many of my friends and family to understand how I could possibly not enjoy seafood. To be honest, I am a texture person, and that slimy, smooth feeling of fish slipping down my throat is the last thing that I would consider appetizing. That being said, I do enjoy going out for sushi--vegetarian sushi that is. The girls and I decided to venture to Sushi Sasa, as not only does it hold great Yelp reviews, but the restaurant has been recommended to all of us by various individuals throughout Denver.

I ordered the miso soup and split an order of sweet potato tempura sushi, and an order of veggie sushi. The miso soup was delicious and did not have too much salt or tofu pieces. The sweet potato tempura sushi was excellent-- sweet, yet savory, and the crispy texture contrasted very nicely against the rice. The vegetable sushi, consisting of veggies I had never tried such as burdock root, kampyo and daikon, all of which I looked up online before leaving home, was actually quite delicious. The girls enjoyed their tuna sashimi and diablo rolls. All in all, a success, and a restaurant definitely worth trying.

Note: This restaurant is a little hard to find as there is not a clearly marked sign over the entrance of this restaurant. The entrance is on fifteenth street on the right-hand side just before you cross the bridge into the Highlands. Parking is available in the rear.
