$10 Sunday Suppers at Nesai

Head to Nesai Restaurant in Newport Beach for the best Sunday specials around: $10 dinner plates!

There’s also coffee-braised beef brisket with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables for $12 and an 8 oz. pan-seared filet mignon with smoked bacon mashed potatoes for $30.
The cozy neighborhood eatery, which boasts California cuisine with Italian influences—has been a quiet favorite among the locals for nearly a decade. Not to be missed is the impressive boutique wine list (all handpicked by owner Michiko Soffer) and homemade tiramisu.
