Angotei

This is one of the best sushi places ever! I learned about this place about 10 years ago or so when I was living in Irvine, CA. It is a small hole in the wall next to South Coast Plaza. It is in a tiny shopping center next to a 711 and there is always a long wait-since it is pretty small as well. It is def worth the wait...I have not actually had many of the cut rolls, but their seafood plates and other appetizers are to die for-which does not leave much room for cut rolls!!! I will post some of my favorite stuff....



I think these are called magic mushrooms, but not sure. They are AMAZING!!! They are mixed with eel sauce (I think) and are absolutely delicious...I like having them with the spicy seafood plate (another favorite) b/c it dilutes the spice!!





I have to say my favorite dish there is their Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll...I am absolutely sure that it is the BEST hand roll EVER!!! It is heaven in your mouth!!! It also comes with a special sauce (maybe ponzu)...Sometimes I end up ordering 2 because it is so damn good and disappears quickly!!




The Chilean Sea Bass is really tasty ....It is really soft, buttery and melts in your mouth!!!


The only cut roll I have tried is the shrimp tempura roll... It is pretty good if you have room after all the other stuff...I think you will be OK without it tho :)



ENJOY!
