    spicy garlic edamame
    Angeline N.

    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!

    Yum. Sorry no other food posted today.  We ate it quick. lol was Soooooo Good

    Back at our favorite spot for sushi:) Peter was our waiter! AMAZING! Thank you for another wonderful experience. Customer service is top notch! Sushi is FRESH and flavorful! Birthday celebrations, music and overall good vibes.

    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.

    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 !

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

    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.

    Great food. Great service. Great prices. Fun music and good energy. They have a great menu with hand rolls and appetizers and their prices are better than most.

    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!

    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.

    Yellowtail sashimi

    Great sushi spot that has been offering 50% off most rolls and even nigiri. There's a parking lot out front that's shared with other businesses in the plaza. They have a tablet outside to add yourself to the waitlist. Restaurant was pretty busy on a Sunday evening but we were seated quickly. Fish was fresh, food was good, staff were friendly even given how extremely busy it was. The only issue is that because it was so busy order accuracy was not ideal. We had ordered 3 rolls and yellowtail nigiri, server went over the order with us before putting it in but when the food arrived the nigiri ended up being a sashimi (which is not part of the 50% off deal) and one of the rolls was forgotten. Server was able to get the third roll out eventually and we ended up just taking the sashimi and not bothering bringing up the mix up.

    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… Read more

    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!

We got there at 5:45pm and it was already semi packed with several tables already reserved. Ambience is nice, restaurant is clean and spacious. Service was good. As a walk-in we got seated right away at the end of the bar, which was fine (since we wanted to sit at the bar) and hadn't made reservations. Note this is a review for what I would call a tier 2 sushi joint. I consider tier 1 to be more omakase style and/or premium Michelin star type venues. We enjoyed everything, especially the uni toro spoon. The hand rolls and rolls are filling so it's a great value for your money. We had hot sake and Kirin. Was able to catch the last few minutes of the happy hour menu - Sky special & hot sake. We ordered the following for 2: Tinker Bell hand roll, crispy rice spicy tuna, Sky's special, Bubble Bee roll, triple belly sashimi, seared salmon belly carpaccio, black cod sushi, Nodoguro (white fish) sushi, unagi hand roll, salmon skin hand roll, uni toro spoon (my favorite)! Would come back again to enjoy your everyday typical tier 2 style sushi. Tier 1 sushi is typically saved for special occasions.

There were two ladies taking orders so ordering was quick; the wait for the food to arrive was very long. I got the spicy seafood udon with standard spice, which took nearly 25 minutes. I would not recommend coming here during a work lunch because you will be rushing through your meal, as that was our experience. While the spicy seafood udon is delicious, the soup serving is small. A pro is that there is large shrimp in the soup and lots of baby clams. For a standard spice level, the soup was surprisingly very savory and spicy. Normally when I order something spicy at a Japanese restaurant, I expect the flavor to not actually be spicy. The udon comes with a fried rice ball with a cheese filling on the side. You should toss the rice ball in the broth to soak up all the flavor and eat it because the ball itself is very hard. In terms of price, the food is expensive for the portion. The restaurant itself is very small so I highly recommend arriving early wait or to put yourself on the Yelp waitlist. The parking lot is shared with other businesses in the plaza, so you might have to do a few loops if it's a busy time of day.

    珍惜所有的不期而遇,也珍惜現在自己擁有的,任何事,都要經歷過的人,才懂得現在的珍貴~…read more 跟我家師姐師妹們來試試OC 小有名氣的日本料理店,先說大家最在意的價格 中午omakase 68 元, 還有包含Uni 歐,美美的環境,平日的午餐也都是客滿的,比較特別的是,幾乎都是女生,日料做的非常精細,食材當然是新鮮的,每道都很好吃,可能現在常常吃到不是日本師父開的餐廳, 生魚片,大家都在比大塊的, 真正正宗的日本師父切的正常size, 我覺得份量比較小一些, 女生沒問題,男生應該會吃不飽, 不過,仍然是很值得的價格 同一個plaza 的獅子咖啡廳, 師姐說是OC 最好喝的咖啡豆,她每個月都會來買一包帶回去給老公,我也買了包回去,個人覺得味道太淡了,我喜歡酸一點,或焦一點的咖啡,不過這家咖啡廳的生意很好, 可能很多人也會知道,就是我們坐在戶外喝咖啡聊天時,有兩輛警車開過來, 還問我們,有看到沒穿衣服的人在這裡奔跑嗎?,哇,這訊息量有點大,哇,我還沒有看到呀,面對外面的我後來有認真的左看右看,認真的再左看看,右看看,唉‍, 可惜最後還是沒有看到,好可惜呀,跑去哪兒了呀~

    We ordered the lunch omakase. Here's what we got:…read more 1. Sashimi salad 2. Chawanmushi w shrimp, scallop, mushroom 3. Sea bream with lemon, kelp salt, yuzu 4. Ocean trout / sweet and buttery 5. Amberjack with dashi soy sauce and red yuzu - Buttery, smooth, and coats your mouth with the flavor. For a white fish, it wasn't as crunchy as we were expecting. 6. Shimaji stripe jack with pickled wasabi and puff rice - Meaty cut of fish, with subtle but present pickled flavor. We thought the crunch from puff rice was a fun add. 7. Black cod with lemon and truffle salt - The seared skin was crunchier, contrasting with the softer non-seared side of the fish. Super fatty cut with light flavors made it well balanced 8. Bluefin tuna with nori paste - We loved how the nori paste covered up with iron flavor of the tuna with the seaweed aromas. 9. Toro with pickled radish - Citrusy flavors cut through the more buttery toro flavor. Personally I would have preferred an actual toro nigiri though which I'd expect at this price point. 10. Uni and ikura don, with uni from Santa Barbara. I actually really liked how the uni mixed well with the ikura and rice where I could portion out exactly how much I wanted each bite. 11. Tamago 12. Clear dashi 13. Dessert - House-made strawberry mousse Overall (4/5): We made a resy here for a Saturday lunch. Service was welcoming and the ambiance was intimate, despite the full house. However, we had trouble seeing the preparation process which we always love and didn't really have many chances to make conversation with the chef. In terms of the sushi, we thought it was a bit generic at first but the later pieces redeemed themselves with the unique flavors on common fish like rice puffs and nori paste. We also liked the unique appetizers including the sashimi salad. Our main complaint is probably how pacing of the courses was rushed. Sushi was plated before we finished our appetizers - probably done to get us out on schedule before the second wave of lunch goers arrived. It wasn't a dealbreaker but we definitely felt the urgency. Overall still a decent option with quality fish for a budget, but not the best at this price point.
