Opinions de San Sai Santa Monica
I love this place for a quick bite of sushi and udon. Although if you expecting quality sushi then you'll need to go somewhere else. This is a fast food restaurant. You order at the counter and 5 min later they have your order on a tray. I don't know of anywhere else in the area where you can have sushi for lunch and still make it back to work on time.
The food here is always so well prepared and tasty. Love that they have the option to have chicken breast and brown rice. Their teriyaki sauce is so yummy make sure and ask for an extra one
Really enjoy this fast food Japanese style experience. I can get cooked food or sushi along with a healthy salad. The prices are fair making me feel I had good value for enjoyable and plentiful food.
Good food and reasonable prices. Service is good too, definitely better than fast food. Healthier as well.
The food was delicious, service was quick, and it was relatively cheap. What more can you ask for! I will definitely be coming back again and again.
How I wish there was one near my home. Was near UCLA just for the day and by chance picked San Sai. Fantastic sushi for great prices and fabulous customer service. Please open one in Santa Ana!
Good food , quick service, fair price. I would go again. The food and sauces were flavorful .
My first time! Excellent no-frills no-froofroo teriyaki. I'm used to Seattle style (Toshi's or get out 😄) But Sansai was a great intro to California style. Delicious all around.
Great tasting fresh food. Reasonable prices. Overall good customer service 👌🏽
LOVE their Miso soup!!! You have to try it at least once if you come eat here. Honestly all their food is pretty delicious 😋👌
I had the spicy tuna roll and I enjoyed it very much so, for 7.99 I got 2rolls (16 pieces) not bad. Nice , clean place and the location is great. Plenty of ample parking day and night. Definitely will be coming back.
Fresh food, great taste, amazing hospitality
It's a nice, and simple Japanese restaurant with decent sushi. Prices are fair, and food is good. Not a top prime sushi place but for the price is actually good, and portions are decent too. Combo plates are the rest ask you can several side items along side the sushi/meat/tempura. Definitely recommend if you want something fast to eat or are on a quick lunch.
The food is always fresh, generous servings and tasty. The staff is always friendly and professional. I love Sansai!
This place is great! Fresh, quality and fast. Feel sorry for people eating at Subway sandwich next door when the food here is so good! Poke bowl is my favorite.
Looked to see what was near by and this placed appeared on my results. And let me tell you it was amazing and delicious the tempura plate is a must. The sushi was good and they have a salad bar too.
I love this place. Staff is always friendly and efficient. The food is always delicious and served rather quickly. I go here for lunch a few times a week. The price is really reasonable! You wont be disappointed.
Great price and food for a quick bite or meal. No frills but the staff is friendly with a smile. The Japanese rice is spot on in texture and consistancy. I love their chicken bowl, which is actually in a plate.
The food was really delicious the restaurant was clean the service was good I would come again.
Good Chicken, Quick Service, Clean Restrooms.
For a can't food place. This is still a great spot. Try the poke bowl you won't regret it. Try it with spicy mayo and spicy tuna sauce. 😉
Nice customer service. And great food been goin here for 10 years.

This is our favorite fast casual Japanese restaurant. Teriyaki salmon is excellent and so is the teriyaki

Nice place food was fast and good, quality was good for the price you pay.
The line moved fairly quickly, and the busy crowd did not take away from the quality of service i received. The place was very clean, and the food was DELICIOUS... We were greeted and helped by Guadalupe, a short little mexican jumping bean with thick black hair and a kind face... she greeted us with a smile and was very informative with the menu. I got the teriyaki chicken plate.
I've been going to Sansai now for over 7 years, and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and affordable. The place is self-serve, so you place your order with the cashier and then pick it up once it's ready. The place is small but cozy, and I really appreciate the small touches of decorations for each holiday. I highly recommend the Poke Bowl, but I'm a sushi lover. If that's not your cup of tea, then they also offer delicious teriyaki combo plates, soups, and salads.
Highly recommend the dumpling soup, veggie spring rolls, and caterpillar roll. Prices are quite decent and the quality of food has only improved in my revisits.
We ordered poke bowl and shrimp & steak plate. The food was very generous in portions and super delicious. Despite of the fast food setup, their food was superior compared to the neighborhood Japanese restaurants.
I eat at this place often. I really like the selection of foods. Nicely filled Poke' bowl. The chicken with tempura is my go to.

Great little place. They have plenty of parking due to the lot and the food is reasonably priced. They have a lot of seating areas if you choose to dine in as well. Stop by! I definitely think you’ll like it.
I really enjoy the shrimp tempura and tempura vegis. The temp. melon has a great taste and the orange salad comes with the BEST balsamic vinegar! The behind the counter fellows are quite stonefaced and unfriendly....the girls on the other hand rock and keep a cleaner space.
Not bad. The spicy chicken plate was had a great taste and was very spicy. Their edamame salad could use something to add more a taste.
Great menu items. Good portions. The food selections tastes good.
Perfect place for lunch. I always order the Sushi and Roll combo and it is the perfect amount of food. Quality is in line with the price you pay. Plenty of parking available, service is fast and staff is always friendly.
Food is delicious! Always fresh however some days my chicken is overcooked. Miso soup is great! The spicy chicken bowl, potstickers, tempura shrimp and veggies are a must try.
As the name suggests, it's a 'self served' restaurant, food was great tho. Japanese is my least favorite Asian food. However, I really enjoyed the food. I may be wrong, but I didn't observe any Japanese person in the kitchen or receiving orders, though. I'm just one of these people who like to see the nationality of the restaurant that I visit.
Teriyaki chicken and salads were not bad, but dine in I don’t like one time’s utensils especially paper plate.
Combo plate with teriyaki chicken, white rice, salad, tempura shrimp & veggies. Yum.
Great food . It looks closed , meeds an Open sign that is lit so people knows is open .Love this place

I tried to call in but my call wouldn't go through, the cashier was rude. Didn't even acknowledge that I was in front of them. Took far longer than I expected.
You deserve better. It's not bad for the price, but I really should have gone to Sawtelle. I had the tempura sushi combo. The batter was too hard and the sushi rice was ..weird? However the whole thing was like $13 and it also came with two salads and rice, which is a ton of food considering this is Santa Monica.
Usually I’d give San Sai 5 stars because I love the Oriental salad with the shrimp tempura and veggies. But my last visit was not good . The Restraunt smelled bad, you know how when you open the door to a place and it smells like good fresh cooked food? Ya, that didn’t happen, it was musty and everywhere seemed a little dirty. The front door was broken. It was stuffy. But that smell! It stayed in my nose for hours. The food was still good but I had to order to go.
Any other day I would have given them 5 stars. Everything is delicious and the prices are great for the amount of food you get. However today there was hair in my California roll. The woman asked if I'd like another one made but I asked for a refund seeing that my appetite is gone. She refunded the money for my food and not my drink. No worries the orange soda was good.
The white meat chicken is like shoe leather stay away from it. The salads are good, the salmon is okay. My daughter liked the curry.
The lady staff with colored eyes is very indifferent, very uninterested, constantly playing on her phone, interested in her phone. She is not interested in people coming and going. She does not smile, she is not cheerful, I am not sure she wants to do this job. So it was a negative experience.
Over Priced. Small portions. Generic Taste. Weirdly packaged. Extra charge for hot sauce, extra charge for spicy mayo. How this establishment gets 4.5+ stars doesn’t make sense.
I ordered delivery and didn't realize it was a fast casual restaurant. They forgot the side of California roll with my udon and I didn't like the miso soup or udon sadly. If you're looking for budget friendly this will do the trick but I was looking for higher quality.

Very poor service. They gave my delivery driver the completely wrong order (something I am allergic to) and refused to acknowledge their mess up or offer an compensation at all- instead accused me of fraud. Its raining outside and my lunch break is over so I guess Im not eating for the rest of the day. super cool.
Everyone has their own experience. This is my evaluation only. Today my order was terrible. The meat was fat only. The staff was not professional.The meal was bad and uneatable. I usually can eat almost anything, but I had to return this item and walked away bummed out. Maybe another time I will return for a second chance, but maybe I won't. A big disappointment.
The fountain drinks suck I for a refund for my cup . The worker just looked at me and said “NO”. I’m not coming back here . The food is alright but if the service is this why come back. Hope you guys had a better experience if you. Wanna try it .
