Sakae Sushi - Japanese restaurant in Newport Beach - 123 23rd St, USA

Very good sushi place in new port beach. Walking distance from the beach. Friendly staff. I highly recommend this sushi joint. I usually feel heavy after eating sushi, but these sushi was very light and fresh. I did not feel heavy at all. I tried the baked salmon roll, tiger roll and salmon tempura roll. I will definitely go back!

What a gem!! Just really wanted sake bombs but they recommended a few dishes and ended up being some of the BEST sushi we have had. Thank you so much Martin. You made our anniversary special!

We decided to stop here before hitting the beach and boy let me tell you this place is underrated ! The last time we had sushi this good was in San Francisco and have not been able to find a place that can match them. The customer service here is outstanding and the employees are very nice. It really has a authentic feel to it and the Sushi was incredible. Our chef asked if we wanted a photo and ended up taking a picture with us! Haha it was a really cool and humble experience. 10/10 will definitely be returning!

Today is Jan 25th 2022. I've been trying all fancy Sushi places in OC, but this place is completely different. Every roll has a different flavor, style and presentation. Highly recommend this place. Thank you Sakae team

The rolls were good and the hot green tea was amazing! Service was quick too.

This place is a little small but very tasty and reasonably priced. Their salmon was so fresh! A table of 5 people shared alcohol, a wine bottle sized bottle of cold sake, sashimi and rolls for 215 bucks. This was more than we could finish eating. So reasonable! I absolutely would go back if I didn't live so far away.

Hot night, crunchy rainbow, amber roll, pink lady. All these rolls were super delicious and really fresh. We were from Fresno and it seems like every time we go to the coast and get sushi we are extremely disappointed. This place is a hidden gem. Sushi chef and manager were super friendly and very patient

The Newport roll was hands down better than any sushi I’ve had on the east coast in the last five years. Sat at the counter and the sushi guys were interactive across the glass so that was nice. The service was good and i thought the prices were decent, they could probably charge more for that level of quality.
