UCI Senior’s Irvine Food Guide Part 4 | Found More Delicious Gems! 🥰

Finally had time to organize my camera roll—ate so much good stuff lately! Who else feels that the highlight of grad school life is hunting for good food? Eating yummy things is truly therapeutic 😌 I’ve listed my recommended dishes below 👇 Photos are in order—save this post and check them off one by one! Still exploring… will share Part 5 when I have time! 🍸 CIR Lounge Bone marrow bibimbap was decent. Caviar ice cream tasted a bit unusual (not my thing). Better for drinks—dishes are pretty and photogenic. 🍣 Sake2Me Sushi - Tustin Premium sashimi is a must—fresh, sweet, rich with fat. Uni and sweet shrimp were great quality. Most sushi/rolls are 50% off—good deal! 🍚 Sushi Koto Affordable, huge poke bowls! Loaded with fresh sashimi topped with uni and roe. Only ~$20+! Authentic little Japanese spot. 🇰🇷 On Dal Jip Appetizer includes spicy marinated raw crab—as a Sichuan native, I loved the sweet-spicy kick! Beef & octopus hot pot was nice—chewy texture lovers will enjoy. 🦀 Delicious Table (Korean Marinated Crab) Craving marinated crab? This hidden gem is run by a sweet grandma for years. Tastier and more affordable than LA spots—sweet crab meat over rice is heaven! 🇹🇭 Lanta Thai Fusion Stumbled upon this authentic Thai spot—so good and cheap, I’ll be back forever! Tom yum and curries are delicious. Add coconut milk to tom yum for creamy tangy goodness. 🍝 Ini Ristorante Italian-Japanese fusion. Recommend beef tartare, tiramisu, uni pasta, and fried calamari. Delicious and atmospheric! 🥛 Four Sea Soy Milk Love their pork floss & fried dough rice roll—crave it often! 🍴 The Wild Artichoke Bistro Upscale French dining. Recommend uni pasta, steak, and desserts! Flavors are great (just slow service sometimes lol). 🌶️ Tasty Zone Sichuan spot—pretty spicy! Recommend mouthwatering chicken and boiled two-style (meat + veg in chili broth). 🥐 Cream Pan Strawberry Croissant Their strawberry croissants are AMAZING! Not too sweet, fresh strawberries + custard = perfection. Friends all love it—great for parties!
