SAGO on South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district is an Asian fusion restaurant and lounge where the kitchen plates tapas-format dishes—lobster bao buns, fried chicken topped with caviar, wagyu skewers, and hamachi ceviche—inside a tropical Southeast Asian interior inspired by Bali, Thailand, and Singapore. A state-of-the-art Funktion-One sound system drives the DJ programming on Thursday through Saturday nights, positioning the venue as a late-night dining-and-nightlife hybrid on the same 101 corridor as Modern Times Far West Lounge's craft-beer taproom. San Diego Magazine featured the lobster bao buns in its March 2025 must-try food roundup, singling out the dish's steamed-bun technique and butter-poached lobster fill as a standout among North County openings. Weekend brunch service supplements the dinner-only weeknight schedule, and OpenTable reservation data lists the price range at $31 to $50 per person, a spend tier shared by the prix-fixe tasting menus at Trattoria I Trulli on North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia. The cocktail program pairs house-crafted syrups and fresh-pressed citrus with premium spirits across a menu designed to complement the chili-lime and umami profiles in the kitchen's Southeast Asian flavor base.
