Sassi’s is a homely restaurant attached to a motel. The menu offers a range of hearty, home-style food with a few surprises at prices that are reasonable by Ohakune standards. We began our meal by sharing tempura king prawns with sweet chili mayo and were delighted to find 12 large prawns on the plate – great value and delicious. I had the braised lamb shank on creamy mash with seasonal vegetables for my main course; the lamb was very tender and tasty. We found my partner’s Thai red pork with jasmine rice an interesting combination but it was a very satisfying meal. Our service was polite and friendly, if a little slow (even on a quiet Sunday night). Overall, a pleasant meal.
