🍣 [Irvine · Hidden Japanese Gem｜Sagami]

Stumbled upon this treasure of a restaurant — and what a pleasant surprise! We just wanted a casual meal, but as soon as we walked in, we noticed quite a few Japanese diners. The waitstaff spoke English with a strong Japanese accent, and that’s when we knew this meal might be special ~ (observation skills activated 👀) 💥 And it truly was delicious! Fresh ingredients, a nice variety of sashimi, and daily specials on the menu. ✨ Top recommendations from this visit: 🥩 Premium Kobe Beef Rice Bowl The beef was incredibly tender! We upgraded the set, which came with uni and ikura — amazing value. If you don’t have a big appetite, you can also try the Kobe Beef Appetizer — same quality meat, totally worth it! 🐟 Premium Unagi Don My friend ordered this — the moment the box opened, the aroma hit us, and we could tell it was freshly grilled, not pre-made and reheated. I couldn’t eat it there, so we took it home, and my picky partner finished it in one go and gave it a thumbs up 👍🏻 📍 Address: Sagami 3850 Barranca Pkwy Suite B, Irvine, CA 92606 🕐 Hours: Lunch 11:30 AM – 2:30 PM｜Dinner 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (last order 8:00 PM) 💰 Price per person: ~$30–50 (can go up to $100+ depending on what you order) #IrvineEats #IrvineFinds #CaliforniaFoodFinds #LifeInTheUS #CaliforniaExploration #IrvineLife
