Food's great and the ambience is OK. Tends to be loud sometimes. What's not good is that I never get receipts of what we've ordered using their auto-reservation (iPad), even if there is a request for receipt button after paying by credit card and the mandatory tip that's built in. Sasaya should fix this. It's the only restaurant I go to, where no receipt is given. I recommend this restaurant to friends and also tell them of the no receipt given serviceIzakaya Sasaya (West Los Angeles)Responded on October 27, 2023Hello, thank you for your review. We have instructed our servers to always provide printed receipt when customers requested on the kiosk. Thank you all the time for your patronage. Best, SasayaIs this helpful?

We had a party of eight and are an extremely polite bunch. The place was empty when we arrived and so there were not many tables to handle. As one orders from a screen, the only opportunity to interact was when dishes were dropped off. Our server would deposit dishes as fast as she could and then leave abruptly before we could even ask her anything. She also did not clear used dishes when they were done. At one point, I had to clear six dishes and put them on the empty table next to us. Fresh individual plates were never offered but I finally demanded them late in the dinner and the server brought them without a word or smile. Not sure what happened to this place, which used to be packed and full of spirit and good will.Is this helpful?
