Our mission at SanSai™ is to be the leading national restaurant brand in our segment of the industry and to be known and recognized as the defining standard for the best tasting, highest quality, most convenient and freshest in Japanese fast-casual cuisine.
Our menu items are made fresh from scratch and served with “SanSai™ Spirit”. All our special sauces are made fresh and everything is prepared and cooked to order.
At SanSai Fresh Japanese Grill, we have infused eastern world culture, food and spirit with an American appeal. Our Chefs have created wonderful dressings and sauces for our Signature Salads, plates and bowls using traditional Asian ingredients that will thrill your taste buds. In fact, it is not uncommon to peek through one of our kitchens and see our chefs tossing an Oriental Salad or marinating chicken for our SanSai plates. After all, part of our culture is to strive to be perfect at whatever we do.
Even though the environment that we have presented to you is casual, we are very dedicated to what we do and how we achieve that goal. Together we strive to provide a superb dining experience. You will find that our healthy salads, mouthwatering grilled meats, succulent seafood and sushi are tastier and fresher than other similar restaurants as well as quicker and less expensive too. So, why wait and pay more?
In the SanSai “Spirit” we strive to build teams where each & every employee or associate shares a common sense of integrity, character & vision, and together we prosper and grow. It’s the “Spirit” that creates the “passion” to love what we do! And the by-product is what you’re going to love - a great restaurant like no other that has great food, great service & great prices!

In 2002, we were inspired to open the first SanSai® Japanese Grill restaurant in Glendale, California. After transforming an old 50’s diner into a modern quick-service Japanese grill with a plasma screen TV, SanSai became a popular spot for lunch and dinner. It was not long after opening day that crowds gathered to enjoy SanSai’s fresh salads alongside our grilled teriyaki salmon. In spite of competition by eight different nearby traditional Japanese restaurants, no parking, and an inherent stigma that came with opening a restaurant in one of those "jinxed" locations where previous business owners had failed, SanSai prevailed with an overwhelmingly positive reception.
A team of experienced restaurateurs and culinary experts, SanSai defines unique dining experience with fresh, quick, delicious, affordable healthy food, accompanied by superior service, a friendly environment and a positive spirit.
Since then, we expanded to throughout Orange County and Los Angeles County, San Diego…and so on in South California.
We vision to offer our smart, fresh, and tasty alternative to many more guests for years to come.
