LA / Irvine Food Find｜The Joy of a Super Affordable Japanese Meal 🍣✨

Sake 2 Me is a popular AYCE sushi chain in LA — today we visited their location on Newport Ave in Tustin. As an all-you-can-eat spot, they offer tons of choices: classic rolls, sashimi, tempura, appetizers, and more. We skipped AYCE this time and ordered à la carte — and it was still incredibly affordable, with sashimi and sushi starting at 50% off! 🥩 Bento Box: Teriyaki Beef + Sushi Combo Includes grilled Japanese-style beef, sushi, and a side salad. The beef comes with a slightly sweet teriyaki glaze, the salad is fresh and light, and the sushi is tasty and satisfying! 🐟 Salmon & Tuna Sashimi Tender, fresh, and a steal — $3 for a generous plate of 6 slices! 🦑 Calamari (Fried Squid Rings) Crispy golden coating served with a special dipping sauce — perfectly fried, not greasy. 🫘 Edamame Classic Japanese starter — simple and delicious. 🍣 Sushi Roll: Beauty and Beast Generously filled with well-balanced sauces — light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The interior has a cozy Japanese vibe with warm lighting and wooden decor — very inviting. Food presentation is instagram-worthy, and the staff is friendly and efficient — even during busy weekend hours, the wait wasn’t long. Compared to other AYCE sushi spots, Sake 2 Me delivers great quality at a fantastic price. If you love Japanese food and sushi, this place is definitely worth repeat visits! 📍 14071 Newport Ave, Tustin #LALife #JapaneseCuisine #HiddenGemEats #JapaneseFood #SushiLovers #IrvineLife #IrvineEats
