    Was very satisfied and shocked by their workflow. There was a line but we were seated very quickly. All of our food came within 10min. It was packed it there was only 1-2 servers on our side but our server Oscar was still able to check up on us frequently . Immediately when we were done with a plate, the busser was quick to grab . Sushi 4/5, I will say I've had better but everything was solid, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE. Crazy 50% deal, especially since everything is getting more expensive!

    I haven't been back here in years just because there's so many sushi places to choose from, but I'm glad I revisited because I forgot how good it was! We were a bit intimidated because it looked crowded when we first got there, but the restaurant is so large and we were seated within 5 minutes. It's a pretty dimly lit restaurant and it feels like a rave every time there's a birthday because they play really loud music with lights lol. Our servers were all very nice and grabbed our things very quickly when we asked for them! For the food, we started with the garlic edamame, chicken cutlet, and grilled salmon belly. They were all super well-made! The edamame and grilled salmon belly were seasoned very well, and the chicken cutlet was crispy but still juicy. Of course my favorite part was the sushi. Their nigiri prices are unbeatable for the quality and how thick the fish cuts are. My favorites were the bluefin tuna and the yellowtail belly, but everything was super fresh and delicious! It was so good that I'm literally going to go back in a few days with my other friend!

    I travel all the time for this place. Not sure if the 50% off is just a marketing tactic but either way Im genuinely always satisfied after every visit. The staff are attentive, the bussers are always pre-bussing and the atmosphere is lively, it can be a bit too dark for older crowds. If your dining in anytime after 7pm, be sure to make reservations. Sometimes the wait line be out the door. They have another location off of Newport but in my opinion that location is not as good and much much smaller. My favorite appetizer is the Fried Jalepenos and my "go-2" rolls are the Green Goblin and the Baked Cheesy Carroll.

    The menu and wasabi with soy sauce. Where is the low sodium soy sauce?

    Ambiance ~ 4.5 if I want a quiet space, I won't come here. It's fun and uplifting Food ~ 4.4 excellent flavor and served quickly; would be nice to have sauce without sugar and low in sodium. Parking ~ 5.0 easy to access I'd come back from time to time. I won't be a weekly regular, though.

    Yum! Love Sake2Me forever. Went on Mother's day so there was a bit of a wait and sushi wasn't as fresh as previous visits but the rolls were super good.

    Slow service, no draft beer. Premium blue fin looked and tasted like standard tuna. Good jumbo scallop and Oc mango no rice. The interior is nice but service was subpar

    Awesome experience great spot to get sushi. Definitely will be back again.
    Carlos S.

    Great experience. Will definitely be back. The Ezekiel nigori tier 1. I recommend there red bean cream sandwich. The service is fast and the seat there is extensive and with vs x1 minimal wait time. And the great ambiance is awesome. Had a blast

    Another great meal at S2M Sushi in Tustin. There is always a wait on weekends but it's well worth it. The 50% off the sushi and rolls is awesome! Servers are very attentive and you will leave extremely full. They play crazy DJ birthday music for those who are celebrating their special day!!! Definitely worth a stop in if you are around the area. Kampai !

    I recently visited Sake 2 Me and it turned out to be a really solid find. I started with a sashimi selection featuring tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, and each one was fresh, clean-tasting, and nicely cut. The tuna was especially smooth, while the yellowtail had that perfect buttery texture you hope for. We also tried a few different sushi rolls, and they were well-balanced--not overloaded with sauces, but flavorful enough to stand out. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation was thoughtful without being overly fussy. Their hand rolls are also amazing. They are packed with fish and flavor. To finish things off, we had strawberry mochi for dessert. It was soft, chewy, and just sweet enough, a refreshing way to wrap up the meal. Overall, great quality seafood, well-made rolls, and a simple but satisfying dessert. Definitely a place worth revisiting. The service was great. They were helpful, and they brought the food pretty quickly. they played great music and they turned off the lights and throw the DJ lights on when it's somebody's birthday.

    Great sushi. I should come here more because the sushi is just great and well priced. I love it

    We surprisingly got seated really quick even tho we were 4th in the waitlist. It's super busy here and plenty of seating, but crammed. The servers were nice but since there's limited room, they're sometimes up in your personal space trying to help other tables lol. This place is a great bang for your buck! The rolls are hugggeee with generous slices of fish. All of our food hit home, the only minor complaint I had was that some rolls were too saucy but that's honestly a personal preference. Come hungry!

    Refer to pictures for food | menu. My family and I decided this place for the first time ~ (4.5/5 star) + The ambiance is okay, pick your day and time wisely to avoid waiting. We were lucky enough there was no waiting time + our server KIM was splendid in explaining the process and recommending us their popular dishes. She was very attentive with our requests and did her best with service. + Their AYCE with substantial varieties that my family enjoyed + food tasted great. - service had quite a bit of lag in terms of food prep. - their soda menu isn't refillable, it's individual cans. - no condiments on the table (soy sauce/vinegar), had to be requested. Overall, we had a positive experience. Will def. be back.

    This has been my go to place!! I love to eat in and especially take out. They're so quick. Perfect for a date, quick lunch, dinner, any casual occasion really. Food: * Yuzu Salmon Roll: my go to. I've ordered this around 8-10 times now perfect if you like citrus, tang, and umami * Mexican Roll: good to fill you up. Classic roll with a hint of spice * BSCR: yummy scallops. a lot more scallops than I expected. rich flavor. very filling! if you're looking for a full meal in one roll, this is your order! Service: Attentive staff. I've always had good experiences here. Ambiance: I like the wood look. It feels cozy like a cabin. We got sat in a booth and it felt really intimate, I liked it.

    Sake 2 Me Sushi Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Sake 2 Me Sushi

    Is it ayce?

    No, but the rolls are 50% off so it pays off!

    Is that ayce restaurant?

    No! They used to be I'm pretty sure but got rid of it a couple months ago!

    Do they still have 50% off promotions?

    Yes, they do. Unfortunately, their quality has gone down the drain along with service. I don't recommend them.

    Is tip automatically applied to the bill? If so, how many people needs to be in the party?

    I went last time with eight and it was added @ 18%

    Do you tell the servers it's your birthday so they could sing to you?

    Yeah just tell them. They have a cool blackout and EDM music jam that is really fun

    When will AYCE return?

    My understanding is they are not going back anytime soon. Personally I love this system as you get half off and only pay for what you order.

    Is it all you can eat again?

    Sadly all you can eat is no longer available.

    Can you make reservations?

    No I don't think they take reservations. It's a first come first served basis.

    Is all you can eat back?

    No. But it is 50% off

    Are they open on Christmas (12/25/21)?

    Yes they are open. I remember seeing a notice that they were open when I stopped in a few weeks ago. I am not sure of the hours though. I would call them to confirm.

    Is it AYCE again?

    Not yet

    Are they open on New Year's Day? How much notice is needed for party platters?

    Best bet to call them to make sure, lot of places their opening and closing and holiday schedule are not the same due to pandemic. They might give you information in detail if they are open or not .

    Do they offer tuna belly or salmon belly sushi?

    Yes, just recently added to our menu

    Is the 50% off only for to go order? What about eating dine in?

    50% also applies to dine in! There are some items that aren't but most are.

    When is AYCE coming back!!!?

    Hopefully when everyone quits lagging it and gets vaccinated. 'Til then, 50% ain't too bad for takeout!

    Is the 50% still going?

    Yes, and you can order online on their website.

    Any word on when (if ever) they will bring back the all-you-can-eat option, now that all the state capacity restrictions have been lifted?

    I talked to the owner yesterday and there are no plans to bring back all you can eat. He has many specials, 3 rolls for the price of 2. It comes out to about the same amount of food/price.

    Are you planning to bring back AYCE? Confused as to why this location isn't offering AYCE but other location is :(

    My opinion, don't think so. They're making more money with half off sushi, full price on appetizers, and anything else that's not sushi.

    What is the larget party for ayce sushi at the moment?

    Thank you for your interest in us! I am afraid to tell you that we are not serving AYCE at the moment. Instead of AYCE, we are offering 50% OFF on all orders of Sushi / Rolls… 

    Did you include AYCE on your menu yet?

    Sorry, we are not serving AYCE yet. Instead of it, we are offering 50% OFF all orders of Sushi/Rolls/Handrolls. Thank you!

Unfortunately, the service really overshadowed the entire experience. I was seated before the couple next to me, yet they had already received their drinks, soup, and even some of their sushi before anyone came to my table. It made for a very rough start and honestly took away the excitement of trying a new place. I always enjoy supporting local restaurants and I'm happy to tip well when the service is great, so it was disappointing that this experience didn't live up to that. I will say one of the servers was very kind--it just seemed like she was overwhelmed and handling a lot at once. Also, the gentleman walking around the dining room came across as very unhappy and unapproachable. I don't know what he may have had going on that day, but in the hospitality industry, your attitude plays a big role in the customer's experience. A smile or friendly interaction can make a huge difference. Overall, I probably wouldn't return. Orange County has so many great sushi spots to choose from, and based on this experience, I'd rather explore somewhere else next time.

We ordered the following: Agedashi Tofu: This was honestly the highlight of the meal. I have been craving this appetizer, but not many places around here actually offer it. The last place I tried this was at Haku, and I was not impressed by it. However, the tofu here was really good! It was hot, crispy, and the sauce was perfectly sweet and salty. It comes with 4 larger sized pieces of tofu, which I thought was great, but could have been more for the price. Stir Fry Udon: This dish was advertised outside on one of their stand up signs by the front door. This is part of what brought us in, but upon receiving it, I was not too impressed. The sauce was extremely dark and it already looked salty. When I actually tasted it, I was not surprised that it tasted exactly how it looked. It was way too salty and saucey to the point, we were eating one bite then drinking water right after. It was a pretty simple dish with what looked like frozen carrots and peas and some cut up chicken. Lunch Bento Box Option 2: We opted in for the teriyaki salmon, gyoza, and salmon roll. It came with a side of salad and miso soup. The salmon was cut very thin and it did not have enough teriyaki sauce on it. It was on the dry side. The gyoza was nothing too special. Just felt frozen then dried with gyoza sauce. Miso soup and salad were also just decent. The best part of this meal probably had to be the salmon roll. I liked the big portions of salmon and the little rice on the outside. This was the perfect balance instead of just getting a mouthful of rice each bit like most other sushi places do. I think this place was decent, overall. The prices were definitely on the higher side for what you get. Nothing too much to rave about other than the agedashi tofu, so I will be by for that again, but not sure if I would necessarily get anything else. Service was attentive and great. Just know, not all their offerings are actually listed on the menu, so we did not even know how much the stir fry udon was until we got charged for it.

Fresh fish Generous cuts Specialty rolls Great quality for the price If you're looking for affordable sushi in Orange County, save this place.

One thing I really loved is how extensive the menu is. They have everything from classic nigiri and sashimi to specialty rolls, bento boxes, 1 udon, and 1 ramen, so there's something for everyone. The rolls were packed with ingredients instead of mostly rice, and every bite was well-balanced and flavorful. If you're a uni lover, I highly recommend trying theirs.

We live in Lake Forest where the sushi is kind of…read moredismal, so we decided to venture into Santa Ana in hopes of greener sushi pastures, and we were not disappointed. The fish was so fresh, service was fast and attentive, music was good, and the vibe was very enjoyable. Spicy tuna crispy rice: other than our favorite sushi place that sadly closed, this one was the best we've ever had. The crispy rice patty is fairly flat, which is way better and offers far superior crunch than the thick ones. "New style" salmon sashimi with white truffle: delightful. Salmon nigiri: we didn't think it could be this much better than other places. But it was. Seared escolar: I hadn't seen this on a menu in years and got really excited. It was just as incredible as I remembered. Absolutely amazing. Nevada Roll and Red Crunchy Roll: excellent. Perfect tempura flakes and perfect eel sauce. Even my daughter's humble cucumber roll was the best one we've seen in OC. It was very generous with the cucumber. We are thrilled we found this place and will definitely be back!

    We ate at Ponzu Sushi Bar in Santa Ana last night, and the food was completely overshadowed by the…read morebill. When the check arrived, we were shocked. This place nickel and dimes customers for everything. We were charged $6 just to add cucumber to a roll, $4 to add gobo, and even an extra charge to add lemon. The biggest issue wasn't even the prices, it was that our waiter never mentioned any of these upcharges when we ordered. If you're going to charge premium prices for simple additions, customers deserve to be told beforehand. We've eaten at countless sushi restaurants over the years, and we've never been charged these kinds of fees for basic add-ons, especially without any warning. It felt deceptive and left a terrible impression. Restaurants don't lose customers over a few dollars. They lose them when customers feel misled. Transparent pricing builds trust. Hidden charges destroy it. We won't be coming back, and unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an honest dining experience.

    We were craving Japanese udon and/or soba, so this spot was perfect for us. They offer plenty of…read morehouse-made udon and soba dishes as well as ramen, rice bowls, sushi rolls, and more. I ordered the Inaka soba, which was very savory and flavorful. The bowl included tororo, mushrooms, bonito flakes, shredded nori, green onions, and an egg. I enjoyed the nutty buckwheat flavor from the soba noodles and the clean taste from the light dashi broth. My husband had the curry udon with beef. The curry was aromatic and came as a silky, soup-like consistency that coated each udon noodle nicely. It had a deep umami flavor. The udon was the ideal texture - thick and chewy. As for the beef, it was very tender. We shared a crunchy roll on the side. It was cut into 8 pieces. Every piece was super crispy and delicious. The main flavor came from the eel sauce, so it tasted very sweet and savory.

    Came in on a Friday night, seated in about 25 minutes by our server who I didn't even realize was…read moreour server. No introduction, didn't show us the menus, just had us sit. It wasn't fully packed by the time we sat down. While he was busy chatting with another table, we were waiting for 15 minutes before the guy who seated us came to take our order. We ordered and noticed people who were seated much later than us got their food already. Another server who brought food to the table next to us noticed us and asked if we got our food yet. He double checked for us and main server hadn't sent our order to the kitchen. We had already waited 25 minutes in addition after placing our order. Our order came out very quickly after the realization. Unfortunately the lemon salmon sushi roll that came out seemed incredibly rushed. The roll wasn't tucked in so each piece we grabbed broke apart. The fried squid legs were good. The udon texture was good, but by the time our food came out, we weren't in the best mood. All the waiting and lack of service ruined our appetite. The 2nd server gave us a bag of salted noodle toppings to-go as a solace for the bad service? Though this location is bigger than the original, I'll be going to the Costa Mesa restaurant for better service.

    We have officially been to every Ootoro restaurant that exists in Southern California. From walnut,…read moreHollywood, Irvine and now in Tustin, with their addition of a new concept compared to the other three. Ootoro Bar in Tustin is mostly bar style seating which it's targeting the new concept of a Sushi Handroll bar with maybe 4 to 5 four-top booths. They have their traditional menu similar to the other restaurants, but they have a Handroll menu with options of 3,4,5,6, or 7 Handroll sets. They also offer a sushi set similar to an Omakase set. With the 5, 6, or 7 Handroll sets, they offer a spicy set or a non-spicy set. If what you choose is still not enough or you want something that is not part of the various sets, they offer a la carte handroll's or you can make them into a 4 piece cut roll. If you aren't sure how much you can eat, they are willing to upgrade your choice. For instance you start with the 5 Handroll set, but later decide you want two more, they can change you 5 Handroll set to the 7 handroll's snd basically give you the two handroll's you have not gotten as part of the 7 HR set. For myself, I initially went with the 5 Spicy HR set but I wanted one last one. Instead of switching to the 6 HR set, I just ordered the Eel + cucumber a la carte Hand roll. The nice thing about the Hand roll concept is they make each Hand roll one at a time and since it's a bar set up, they give it to you immediately so One the seaweed is still crispy and two, the rice is warm. Their lunch combos or lunch plates are still offered even at the bar and are still a great value as what we have been used to for the many years we have been coming to Ootoro Sushi. As this location is further from us, unless they adopt the Hand roll set menu at the other locations, I'll come here again to break up menu fatigue. Staff here are just as friendly as Walnut. The Irvine and Hollywood locations I think deal with a whole different dynamic of clientele.
