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.
