    Favorite take out sushi joint. We love Sake 2 Me Sushi! I only dined in here once (which was also a great experience), but Sake 2 Me will always be our family's sushi take out joint. Lot of sushi's to choose from at such great prices! We usually grab their rolls (SNS is my favorite), and couple appetizers. It is not fine dining, but their sushi is fresh and tasty. And affordable! For take out, you can just call to place an order. They let you know when it is ready, and you can pick it up. The food is always still fresh, warm and tasty when we get back home. Great place to enjoy a variety of sushi and appetizers.

    1st time having Good deals and large rolls Well package Decent pricing for current times Don't typically use soy but this time a tiny bit to bring flavor? Didn't really stand out in taste. Tried the scallops, yellowtail, eel, spider roll, and ninja roll Lot of rice Didn't taste super fresh Definitely quality over quantity feel Maybe will try a different location next time

    Came on a Sunday night , boy is it happening ! Little over 20 min wait, they do have a waitlist check in on here. Lively restaurant, Large selection. The food is à la carte you order on a iPad. The service is prompt, and the food is soooooo fresh! We ordered the sushi boat for large party, and the pics on the menu did not do it justice.

    What a great sushi experience here tonight. They have a kiosk at every table where you can place your order. Our waiter Peter is the best. Very efficient and great service. Gets our dishes right away! We ordered the spicy tuna roll, karaage, and agedashi fried tofu. Everything was good except for the fried tofu. It was heavily coated with corn starch and didn't have the light fry taste. What a bummer as I'm a big fan of agedashi tofu. We got the Crunch Roll, Onion Blossom Roll, Baked Tempura roll and their Tempura Udon. All dishes were delicious. I like how they make your rolls fresh and you get a good portion size. Service here is great and they replenish your beverages without even asking. For birthdays they give you a slice of cheesecake to enjoy and they play a disco light show birthday song. Today was a taiyaki covered with cream so that was a nice touch to our meal. There's is a Yelp waitlist check in area but you have to be on site to put your name in the system. Then Yelp does the rest and notifies you when your table is ready. There's a shared parking lot as this place is located in a strip mall area with lots of parking spaces.

    This is our go to place for sushi since prices are great for the quality and quantity. Plenty of parking and seating but does get really busy! Since they added the new ipad ordering system, service has dropped a little. We came in for lunch and notice only one server for all tables too so not sure if they just had less employees for the day. Overall still recommend but plan ahead to beat the rush!

    Insane pricing and quality!! I am still dreaming about the salmon belly nigiri that i had. The quality was amazing and for $5 for 2 pieces is unheard of!! I came initially thinking it was still AYCE, which it is not btw, but left still feeling very satisfied. The fish quality is amazing and i cant wait to come back whenever rim in the area for a quick and affordable sushi meal.

    SPICY TUNA TEMPURA

    One of favorite spots to grab sushi with friends! Our server Brian was very attentive & friendly. The food always comes out so quick & fresh! I love the random birthday shoutouts haha. The place is such a vibe.

    Beef and chicken Teriyaki
    David W.

    Sake 2 Me Sushi in Tustin is an absolute gem for fresh, delicious Japanese food with incredible value. The salmon and tuna nigiri are cut thick and taste super fresh, while the bento box comes packed with tender beef teriyaki, juicy chicken, rice,and salad.

    Desire N.

    If you're craving sushi, Sake 2 Me Sushi in Tustin is definitely worth checking out! They've got fresh sushi, specialty rolls, crispy rice with nigiri, plus udon, bento boxes, and a Sriracha bowl loaded with scallop, salmon, shrimp, and salmon roe! And here's the deal you don't want to miss--50% OFF sushi rolls, no-rice rolls, and nigiri EVERY DAY! So whether you're craving sushi or a hot, hearty bowl, they've got you covered. Come hungry and bring your sushi crew!

    Jenny P.

    The presentation of their dishes is always so pleasing to look at and makes you hungry. Great quality as always!

    Cindy M.

    Sake 2 Me is one of my favorite spots for AYCE sushi! The fish was fresh, the rolls were flavorful, and the variety was impressive. Everything came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I especially loved the sashimi and specialty rolls! they were generous in portion and beautifully presented. Whether you're a sushi lover or just looking for a fun place to dine with friends and family, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Come hungry because you'll want to try everything!

    Jeremy C.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    I love this place so much! I've been here several times over the years and it's never disappointed…read more The food is always on point and its intimate, cozy setting reminds me of Japan. It's always busy on Friday nights and weekends (expect 1 hour) wait times but you can put your name down on the Yelp waitlist and wander around. Parking can be tight since the restaurant is so popular but you can park in the next lot over and just walk. We ordered sashimi salad, rolls, skewers, and an octopus side dish. The menu is extensive but everything we tried tasted fresh and flavorful. Overall a very authentic experience and highlighted for a good reason. Price point is very reasonable in this economy and I was a bit struck by how affordable it was. It was so busy and staff did seem be running around a lot but we never felt like we were getting rushed out. Overall a great hangout spot and will be back again to this cute izakaya! FYI they also have a sister restaurant called Kappo Honda in Fountain Valley with a similar concept.

My…read morefriends and I just finished a fantasy draft and got squeezed in a small booth and we ordered so much food. We just had some loud members so it was a bit chaotic. Honda-Ya's food didn't disappoint though. Their skewers were so good and I will tell you below what I liked. First of all, they have like every Japanese dish on this menu, they have an extensive range of food options including ramen, udon, sushi, tempura and dinner sets. - Udon 4/5: Very average flavor and it was good - Japanese Beef Skewer 5/5: had a teriyaki glaze to it and very tender - Lamb Chop 4/5: It was good but not a big fan of lamb - Beef Tongue: 5/5 Not too chewy and my favorite skewer - Bacon Asparagus 2/5: Not my favorite with texture and a lil weird mix - Gyoza 5/5: Pan fried greatness. Pair your yakitori with a Sapporo and you are all set! Staff was very helpful and patient, really happy I got to try this gem in Tustin and would come back.

    I really love OkiDoki Meiji, especially their Cold or Hot Egg Tororo & Mentai Udon. I had egg…read moretororo in New York and had been looking for a restaurant that served tororo ever since, but I couldn't find one until I came across OkiDoki Meiji. Now it's my favorite dish and what I order every time I go. Their udon is house made, and you can really tell in the texture. It's so comforting and chewy. My friend always gets the Spicy Beef Udon and talks about how good it is every time we go. The restaurant itself has a simple and cozy atmosphere, but that's part of what I like about it. The focus is really on the food. I've never had to wait too long. The last time we went around 6pm, we were seated within a few minutes and there were still several open tables. The service has always been great. Everyone is very friendly and attentive, and they regularly check in to make sure we have everything we need without being overbearing. If you're looking for a cozy spot for udon, especially if you're a fan of tororo, I would definitely recommend giving OkiDoki Meiji a try!

    They never disappoint me with their monthly special udon…read more What impresses me most is how the udon tastes great no matter what ingredients, sauces, or cooking style they pair it with. March‑only Crab Tomato Cream Udon -- The best of all the specials. A rich, slightly cheesy tomato‑cream sauce, plus a whole deep‑fried soft‑shell crab you can eat shell and all. The crab is the highlight. May‑only Omukatsu Udon -- Soft‑springy noodles and a nicely fried pork cutlet, but the curry sauce leans salty. A few hidden meat slices in the noodles are a fun surprise. June‑only Spicy Sesame Sukiyaki Udon -- The star is the broth, not the beef. A sesame‑fragrant, mildly spicy (about 1-2 out of 10) sukiyaki broth that's rich without being overly salty, perfect for dipping the beef slices. July‑only Sea Urchin & Creamy Udon -- Sea urchin with a thick, creamy broth. I finish every drop. The noodles stay bouncy even after 30 minutes. One bowl fills small eaters; big eaters like me barely reach 50%. August‑only Prime Beef Steak & Garlic Udon -- A bowl that's both refreshing and hearty. The steak is about 20% fat, 80% lean, with soft, springy tendon that adds texture. Comes with a small bowl of pickled jalapeños--very California. September‑only Cheese Curry Udon -- The chef torches the cheese for about 20 seconds. The udon absorbs a slightly sweet curry sauce and comes with sliced aburaage and a bit of beef. Shabu Shabu Udon -- Sukiyaki‑style sliced beef with a lightly sweet, clean broth. They give plenty of meat. Shigure Soba -- Perfect for this scorching SoCal summer. The chilled noodles come topped with minced meat that has a refreshing bean‑like aroma. Other small dishes worth trying: Homemade Sesame Tofu -- A dense and silky tofu, served with wasabi and the sauce at the bottom of the bowl. Homemade Dashimaki Tamago -- The omelet soaks up a lightly sweet sauce at the bottom of the bowl. Soft, thick, and layered, best enjoyed with grated daikon. 他們的每月限定烏龍麵從未讓我失望。 最厲害的是,烏龍麵不論搭配任何食材、醬料、和做法都美味。 三月份限定酥炸軟殼蟹奶油番茄烏龍麵:所有品項中最美味是這道。濃郁且帶點芝士感的奶油番茄醬汁。整隻可連殼食用的酥炸軟殼蟹,是這道菜最棒的部分。 五月份限定歐姆蛋豬排咖哩烏龍麵:炸豬排和麵條夠軟彈,但咖哩醬汁有點過鹹。麵條內藏有幾片肉是意外的驚喜。 六月份限定香辣芝麻壽喜燒烏龍麵:最棒的不是肉片而是湯頭!帶有芝麻香的微辣(約一到兩分辣)卻不過度鹹膩的濃郁湯頭,蘸壽喜燒牛肉片食用。 七月份限定海膽奶油濃醬烏龍麵:搭配海膽和濃郁奶油湯汁好吃。湯汁被我一滴不剩的喝光。麵條放超過半小時依然口感彈勁。食量小的一碗下肚就飽,食量大如我全吃完不到五分飽... 八月份限定極上牛排蒜香烏龍麵:整晚麵同時擁有炎熱消暑感 和 牛排飽足感 。二分肥,八分瘦,帶點Q彈軟筋(是口感加分的軟筋,不是難咀嚼的硬筋)。附上一小碗醃漬墨西哥辣椒切片,嗯,很有加州風情。 九月份限定炙燒起司咖哩烏龍麵:主廚用火槍將表面起司炙燒約 20 秒。吸飽微甜咖哩醬汁的烏龍麵,搭配油豆腐切片,和少量牛肉片。 涮牛肉烏龍麵:類似壽喜鍋的涮牛肉和微甜甘醇湯頭。肉片給很多。 時雨肉燥蕎麥冷麵:今年南加州夏天熱到爆,這碗冷麵來的真是時候。麵條上的肉末,嚐起來有股清爽豆香。 其他值得一試的小菜有: 自家製胡麻豆腐:口感綿密細勻的豆腐,搭配山葵醬和碗底醬汁食用。 自家製高湯玉子燒:煎蛋吸收碗底微甜醬汁,搭配蘿蔔泥食用。煎蛋嚐起來柔軟厚實有層層疊加感。

One of our favorites is the Dragon Roll. The new one we tried that we loved is the caterpillar roll. The freshwater eel, salmon and yellowtail sushi are all great. The one we liked the least was the OC roll, there were just too many flavors at once with the lime. We also had the baked mussels which were good but probably won't order again. Both times we've spent around $60-90 which is pricey but the quality is great. I did sign up for their rewards on toast and next time we go, we get a free item which I'm looking forward to it. Overall the service is good and we just have come to love this place - it is our new fav.

    Orange Roll & Sushi 139…read more Located just across from Oliboli Donuts with them sharing the same parking lot amongst other tenants I can see this parking lot getting pretty crowded. We arrived at 8pm on a Sat, luckily there was no wait which after eating the food I was surprised there was no wait, maybe because they close at 930 and I am sure there is a last call. This next part is coming from someone who has been to Japan and experienced restaurants out there. When we first got inside we were greeted by all staff, including the ones hidden behind the counter, the first thing that came to my mind was the feeling of being back in Japan just a little bit bigger. Very cozy and intimate it really put that feeling of "hey you can relax, we got you". Easily my mind being transported back here with some people sitting in the restaurant, glad they left not to long after we were sat down. They have a good amount of choices and as I always say sushi restaurants with pictures in their menu is always such a W, our eyes eat first. What we ordered, we first started with sake and went with Kikusui which is always really smooth specially chilled. What I loved about here, was they come with a big round plate and let you choose your sake vessel, as you can tell from my photos we choose the ones with the little fish in them, that was a first and really stood out. First that came were the sushi pairs: Seared Tuna With Garlic Chips: Lightly seared but just the right amount, same goes with the rice vessel, it wasn't too much or too little. Very good and fresh tuna, that sear gave the tuna a very nice texture, the comes the crunch from the garlic chips. Very nice flavor bomb! Albacore: Delicious and fresh, really made me excited for the rolls coming up. Peppered Albacore With Garlic Chips: I forgot I had this after trying just the albacore by itself so I got excited that I didn't have to wait for the rolls. And this did not disappoint, the peppered part of the dish had just the right of a double jab of Cajun and smoky, which paired perfectly with the albacore, then randomly ghost punch of garlic with those crispy garlic chips. If they had all you can eat, oh man there would be never a time I didn't have this in front of me. In my pictures there was a peppered salmon with fresh onions, my wifes sister ordered this so I didn't get to try but she said it was really good and fresh. Our sushi rolls came out and AIYAH what kind of reviewer forgets to take a photo of an item. Sitting sadly in the bokeh distance we did order a: Stinky Roll - Which was your regular sushi roll but topped with Albacore, fresh onion and garlic butter. As mentioned above, everything was delicious and fresh, I don't like onions so to me I was questioning where is the stank, I love garlic and dipping it into the garlic butter was different but good. It was overall a good roll but this would be last amongst what we ordered. O.C. Roll: Shrimp Tempura, spicy tuna avocado inside topped with fresh salmon and lemon slices. This can go two ways for people, in example I ate the two end pieces as they are and it was delicious, then when I went for a middle piece, if you eat the lemon slice, that part will explode and with a sharp sour or bitter taste that like I said some people love or some don't. I probably had a small piece of the lemon on the corner pieces, so for me I took the slices off and it was still a fantastic roll. Autumn Roll: My favorite amongst the rolls, Spicy Tuna, avo, cilantro and cucumber inside, topped with peppered salmon and albacore. Just an umami explosion, lil heat from the spicy tuna, then comes the smoky cajun, it was really good and I was seriously holding back the urge to just take the plate and not share with my wife and her sister. Lastly was my favorite dish: Spicy tuna on crispy rice: I always order this at sushi places and this can easily make or break a place for me. When it arrived I was very questioned, big piece of avo, a good mountain shaped amount of spicy tuna, the shape of it being round was throwing me off. Most places either cute them into a rectangle or even square, my first bite crunch was def there, but it was a sticky inside the crispy rice boat that took a little to separate to get the piece in the mouth. But WAIT A MINUTE, that sticky inside mixed well with the crispy exterior, the rice had flavor and honestly gave me almost like a crunchy mochi vibe. It was different but that's where it set them apart from others I have had. Everything on the vessel was delicious like others, but adding what they did to their crispy rice made me really enjoy and still even as I write this is contender to one of my favorite Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice dishes. In conclusion, I find us coming here on a good rotation in the vast choices of sushi restaurant! (didnt know there was a text cap SORRY!!) Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

    I rarely give five star review unless the place is absolutely exceptional. I'm still thinking…read moreabout the pieces of sashimi that melted in my mouth at Ootoro Bar. The omakase experience was exceptional, each piece has its own unique flavor that no soy sauce is needed. In fact, they server will ask that you don't use soy sauce. I remember the Japanese sushi in Japan made the same suggestion, he said "no soy sauce" to truly taste the fish. Great service! Great food! And make a reservation, seatings fill up quick

    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.
