Read MoreMy wife and I dined at Saloon Osaka for the first time today. A hidden gem in El Segundo only open Tuesday through Sunday 5pm to 10pm. The food was delicious, the atmosphere (once you get past the 7-11 strip-mall parking lot) was clean, pleasant, and very comfortable. The service was outstanding. We felt like we were visiting friends. We ordered Gyoza and Edamame for appetizers. Both were excellent. The Edamame was served hot smothered in a delicious spicy hot garlic sauce. The serving was generous and as an appetizer could have served 4 (but my wife and I put a good dent in it). The Gyoza was hot and crispy. We will order both again. My wife (a lite eater) ate from my plate and ordered the green dragon roll. It was tasty and beautiful to the eye. I ordered a bento box combo that included seaweed salad, excellent crispy and light mixed tempura, California rolls, and sushi. I ordered the standard California rolls made with imitation crap, but California rolls made with blue crab was an option. The bento box could be ordered with 2, 4, or more pieces of sushi. I opted for 2 and at the chef’s recommendation I ordered the blue fin tuna sushi (and then asked for it to be seared). I have never had blue fin tuna so fresh. I do not like fish that tastes or smells fishy and the tuna was perfect for me. The meal came with ginger and standard wasabi, but I ordered the fresh wasabi having never tried it. I am glad I did. It was strong and delicious and did I mention strong. All in all a wonderful meal and an excellent dining experience. The meal came to $75, and we left a generous well deserved tip.
