A wonderful dining experience awaits at this fusion Asian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the entire meal. The kids loved the staff!!!
The drinks menu is creative and expertly curated. We started with cocktails that were beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and served promptly, setting a great tone for the evening.
The food itself was a delightful journey through Asian flavors. The sushi was incredibly fresh, showcasing high-quality ingredients and skillful preparation. Each piece melted in the mouth, a testament to the chef’s expertise. The Thai dishes were a standout as well, offering authentic, vibrant flavors with just the right amount of spice, clearly prepared with care and attention to detail.
Overall, this restaurant masterfully blends excellent service with superb food and drinks, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves Asian cuisine. Highly recommended!

I have gone to Sawa multiple times and also taken food home. Not sure I have had a bad dish. Sushi is always fresh, rice and noodle dishes are flavorful, and their adult beverages are usually strong.

Sad that Southside Grille had to close. Pleased that it’s being repurposed for another dining location for friends and family.
When you enter the restaurant – it’s like you’re entering a whole new world.
Very high end & nicely decorated. Love the Asian decor – starting with the rock wall when you walk in, to a bonsai tree, and additional art pieces.
Continued this “fine dining” experience with a Pineapple Passion ($9.50) which tasted like a vacation.
My siblings and I split some dumplings as an appetizer and those were good!
Great lunch special. For about $15 – you get a soup, appetizer, sushi, and main entree.
The won ton soup kinda tasted like Ramen but I still enjoyed it. I don’t like sushi so I swapped my appetizer with my sister . If you order the crab rangoons as your appetizer you will get 2 and they’re tasty. Primarily cream cheese (which is how I like them, I don’t like them too crabby).
When I first went to Sawa (original location), I got the coconut shrimp. My mom recommended this dish and it’s so yummy! I don’t think I’ll ever change my order up. Happy both times.
Only recommendation is to improve online website – especially with having two locations, can cause some confusion.
Me & my sister were getting different information and had to clarify locations a few times. Brother stated there was confusion with delivery orders in the past.
Bathroom space was unique but convenient. There’s a space to change babies and sinks outside the restroom area – which could be nice for those who just want to wash hands before/after a meal.
They have a spot for suggestive and custom tips at the bottom of your receipt – which are accurate! Often I find that other businesses lie with those numbers, so they get points for that too!
Overall, very impressed! They’ve mastered the ability for casual dining to feel upscale at affordable prices.

This was my husbands&my first time, and hopefully won’t be our last.
The service was very quick, although it wasn’t too busy when we visited.
The food was all very good and fresh and great portions. Awesome prices. The bathroom was absolutely pristine. Thank you, we’ll hopefully be back!
* I didn’t get a photo of the food as it was too good to stop and take a picture!

Came in on a Saturday with a big party and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of lunch specials they offer. The portions were very generous, which was a nice bonus. I do wish they served Coca-Cola and had egg drop soup on the menu. That said, what really stood out to me was the service — the staff was incredibly accommodating, and we didn’t have to wait long for our food at all. A fun touch: they give out a delicious birthday ice cream cake for free to the celebrant, which made the experience even more special.

Came back to try more delicious food.
New pictures show Fantastic 4, Salmon on Fire, Rainbow Deluxe, and a mystery dish from possibly the owner?
Everything here is so good!

Wifey and I were craving sushi, and I remembered this restaurant had recently opened, so we decided to give it a try.
Parking was easy, as the restaurant has its own spacious lot with plenty of available spots.
The interior design is impressive, thoughtfully decorated to evoke a peaceful, Zen-like atmosphere. A small Zen garden feature is centered prominently in the main dining area, and the walls showcase beautiful “ukiyo-e” style artwork–you’ll certainly recognize the iconic “Great Wave off Kanagawa.” The restaurant itself is quite large, easily accommodating groups of six or more. When we arrived around 8:30 PM, a large birthday party of over ten people was comfortably seated and barely took up any space.
Given that the restaurant is new with few reviews available, we decided to splurge and order more items than usual:
Amazing Salmon ($15)
A beautiful appetizer presented in stacked, layered squares rather than the traditional maki rolls. The sauces drizzled on top made it look almost like a dessert–and it tasted as wonderful as it looked.
Honey Chicken ($15)
I saw another person comment how amazing this was. Umm, it’s definitely the most “honey” chicken I’ve ever tasted. I suppose it’s weird to complain that something tastes exactly like its namesake, but it was a little overwhelming to eat. The crispiness of the chicken was superb! It was still crispy when I got home later and ate a few more pieces as a super late night meal.
Simple Box ($40)
This was our splurge, and we were utterly delighted. Beautifully presented, every piece of sushi tasted fresh, flavorful, and exactly as we’d hoped.
Pistachio Coppa
A lovely finish to our dinner. We shared one since we were pretty full. It was delicious–what more can I say?
Overall, we were thoroughly satisfied with our experience and definitely plan on returning soon!

Went to the new sawa location and was absolutely floored with the renovations that they had done from the previous restaurant. Looks absolutely stunning inside on both the bar and restaurant sides – a great place to have family, friends, or work meals.
The food – really great, not amazing as it’s still your typical Asian flare. The presentation on the sushi was great!
The service – our waiter Steven was incredibly attentive and made sure we were enjoying our time at the new location on a busy Saturday night. Service like that is reason enough to go back in my opinion.
Mai tais were great as well – looking forward to going back!

Our first visit to this recently opened location. A very nice looking establishment but still some growing pains. I ordered sashimi but received sushi and never got the soup or salad the menu said it included. Left disappointed but will try them again.

Went for lunch. Even though we were the only people there, we waited 10 mins to have a waiter come to our table. They did not have the dishes that we ordered from their prior location and asking; the cook did not know how to make them. The food was horrible, previously cooked and frozen, then recooked or microwaved. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, but I don’t care, I’m all about the food. Go to Asian Gourmet in Athol instead.

Sawa is one of my favorite restaurants, always coming up with new drinks & unique food. Great service and fresh ingredients. Try the pink lady or patriot’s maki! If you like Chinese try the ginger chicken & shrimp or beef with fried scallops. Oh and highly recommend the Korean bi Bim bop!
