SAGA Kitchen

Good food!!

This spot is located in the corner of Lincoln and Grand. There’s limited parking outside the cafe/kitchen but it’s ok because right now they’re only doing take-outs/pick-ups and delivery. FYI, they do have three table settings outside the cafe....

My first time here. The place has different restaurants that are co-located that you can order from at the same spot.

We got the bento box from Gokiyoi, it had a variety of protein inside like fish, meat ball, egg, I think it had chicken and spicy noodle. Loved it all, would’ve tasted better if it the food was hot. But still tasty.

We also ordered Curry Rice w/Ebi, Fried Tofu w/Shrimp, Matcha and Hong Kong Style Tea. Love, love, love the fried tofu! Though I tasted mostly shrimp, I still loved it, love how it was crispy on the outside and meaty inside. For dessert we had 2 samples of the Artisan Macaron one of them was Cherry Blossom. It was ok, not too sweet, taste like a regular macaroon.

We want to give a shout out to Harry where we “experienced tea!” He was a delight! Very funny! Very knowledgeable about the tea as well! Keep that motivation Harry!!!

Order from all 4 menus at same time

Excellent food. I've been to some subpar dim sum places, but the dim sum here was straight delish. I also ordered a katsu curry plate, and that was also very very yummy. Some establishments water down the curry and it becomes a bit soupy. Not SAGA! It paired perfectly with my rice and tonkatsu.

The only downside is the online ordering experience. When I saw the kind of food SAGA was offering, I was so excited that I graciously volunteered to buy lunch for my entire family that day. We picked out the things we wanted and I went online to order it. Unfortunately, the online DoorDash portal only allowed delivery (no pickup), and I lived too far for delivery... So I had to drive there before ordering, and had to wait for 30 minutes outside for the food to be made :(

Mina told me that they are working on their in-house online ordering system so this should not be a problem in the future. When that launches, I will certainly be ordering again and will likely update my rating to 5 stars ;D

Looking forward to being back!!
