Sagami - Irvine

Love all their food!!! The best Japanese restaurant in OC so far!!! Normally good Japanese restaurants have many Japanese customers. There were several tables are Japanese, from family, business, andfriends gathering. Once again proving how authentic it is.I ordered their signature premium Eel Don, it was awesome! 100/100 even better than some store in Japan. 4 ways to enjoy the eel don: 1 original, 2 with green onion, 3 with kombu soup 4 mix all together!Hokkai Chirashi was just standard, fresh but slightly overpriced.Definitely will come back again and again until I try everything

Excellent sushi, excellent presentation. Both John, and Sei are great chefs.Place has limited space, and menu but food is awesome! Thank you. We will be regulars.Food: 5/5

This is a real sushi bar and Japanese food restaurant. The fish is amazingly fresh as much of it comes from Japan. Try to get a seat at the sushi bar. You'll love it!Food: 5/5

I ordered mackerel with a side bowl of white rice twice and it tastes great. The sashimi combo is also great.

When we arrived at the restaurant at 6:30, it was entirely empty. However, we were informed that they couldn’t accommodate our party of five. I might be mistaken, but I have a feeling they were hesitant to serve us because we have children. Perhaps they’ve had previous issues with families before. Regardless, this used to be one of our favorite spots, and now we don’t feel welcome at all. Kid-friendliness: Not suitable for children.
