We recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Sage 400, and it was an incredible experience! The ambience is inviting, with a vibrant scene that makes every visit special. It's no surprise the place is always packed; the loyal diners speak volumes about the quality of food and service. We indulged in their fresh sushi, sashimi, which was absolutely delicious. The highlight for me was the truffle fried rice--rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also couldn't get enough of the crispy rice cake with mushrooms; it was a delightful surprise!, and their lychee martini is amazing. read more

Walked in about 40 minutes before closing, so I sat at the bar, they had the NBA finals on, so that was nice. It was quite loud in there to be a Monday night, there was a rowdy table of 6-8 sat by the door having a good/loud time, paired with the house music and other restaurant sounds. I ordered the crab puffs, seared sashimi, and the king crab calamari. The crab puffs are meant to be like crab Rangoon, but the filling reminded me of a jalapeño popper. Still good, just wouldn't order them again. I didn't care for the seared sashimi, it looks & sounds Nobu inspired, but it was either drowning in too much sauce or maybe the fish could have been fresher. The king grab calamari was delightful, and I would make a return visit just for this dish alone. It can out like a sushi roll, and I loved the flavor and texture combo of this roll. read more

I been coming to this place for a while, lately the service has been awful. I set close to the Bar, I had probably one of the worse waiters of my life. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I gave him 5$ tip just out of respect. Regardless it was probably the worse service I had received in many years. I am probably never coming back. read more

The food was good, and I felt the service was commensurate. I appreciated the diversity and uniqueness of the menu

The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping strip and is a very nice and Inviting place. It is very clean well lit and they have booths and tables. The food is all made to order and comes out hot and fresh. The service was good. Bright the food out as it was made and filled up drinks quickly. Well worth it but you are going to pay a high price for good sushi. read more

We enjoyed the atmosphere grab some appetizers and sushi and the combo rice is a must have with truffle oil let's just say I was sad when we finished it all. The staff was so amazing I get why they have so many regulars coming in. read more

It's been a long time since I've been to this location approximately 15 years. I remember this Location has very good sushi on this visit. I had an excellent experience. The waiter named I believe his name was) Sing was very very knowledgeable of the menu items and history of the restaurant. He had a lot of passion towards his role and great customer service. The food was excellent. The drinks were very very good. Had a wonderful experience. Appreciate this type of business staying high on standards. read more

Placed a To Go Order since I was staying at the Marriott directly behind Sage. It was raining and they agreed to deliver to their back door so that I didn't have to walk all the way around in the rain. The service was incredibly helpful and informative. The food was fantastic and it came with everything needed to make the meal complete. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Sushi is always very good, is family owned and they're always there, is a neighborhood spot where you'll find them there some of the times. Service is perfect, it can get nice and loud but not so loud you can't follow a conversation. We enjoy sake with our meal and they have a nice selection although we are definitely on experts in this field!! read more

Someone recommended me to go to this place for their truffle fried rice with shrimp. This place has an upscale feel to it without seeming too fancy. The staff were quick to take my order, bring food, and assist me as needed. My favorite dish was the Chilean sea bass. The server said they are known for this dish and I can understand why! The fish melt in your mouth and flakes off so easily. I'm often skeptical about ordering white fish at restaurants because it's often overcooked. However, the orange sauce was a nice touch to the fish. I also ordered the Hamachi taro chips and their sushi. The Hamachi taro chips consisted of a pretty small portion, and the sushi was pretty good as well. If I come here again, I think I would skip the sushi because a lot of other places have sushi just as good for a little cheaper or comparable price. read more

This place hit all the marks-- service, ambiance, and food. I had just driven straight in from Dallas for work over the weekend and was worried I was too underdressed for dinner. Not at all. They seated me swiftly and gave me a menu. They have really elegant sushi selections here. I ordered the Sunset Roll. The waitress kindly gave me info as I ordered-- "Just an FYI, this is cucumber-wrapped, no rice" and that my upgrade to the crab was an extra $12. The blue fin tuna was really excellent. I liked the way the truffle vinaigrette smelled. It was such high quality after my Buccees binge the 8 pieces was enough to satiate me. I'm coming back to try a cocktail tomorrow night. read more

The best sea bass dish I've ever had! And, the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Most of the rolls are very good. Sage roll, Roxy, sunrise sunset, and SP. Truffle fried rice is also top notch.

The Sea-bass was amazing and our server SANG was fantastic! The ambiance was great and can't wait to come back!

The food did not taste fresh- just horrible! And the service was sub par! Go elsewhere! .................... read more

OMG! The Chilean Sea Bass with miso glaze was perfection! Also ordered the truffle edamame which was good, miso soup with clams which were a little sad/small but good soup base, side house salad which was not worth while (I would skip next time). Service was excellent and quick! Perfect ambience. read more

A coworker and I sat at a high table in the bar area. The service there from Johnny and the other bartender was Top Notch. They had some homemade blue cheese olives for my Tito's Martini. Drinks were excellent and on time. We started with the Spicy Edamame, and I'll just say, it's pretty spicy, and I like that, but some folks might think it's a little much. We shared some appetizers: The Seared Pepper Tuna Roll that came out like a rose. It was killer, amazing flavor and presentation. The Miso Chilean Sea Bass appetizer was the feature of the night. It is possibly the best Sea Bass I've ever had. Absolutely killer. Pretty good size for two to share as well. We had a few roll recommendations and for the life of me I cannot recall the names. One had a tempura shrimp on the inside, and it was incredible. The other alternated sashimi on top, with the Salmon and Tuna alternating, and it was incredible. I would go on a vacation to Houston just to eat here. The atmosphere was excellent, the service was top notch, and the sushi and Japanese creations were some of my favorite. Well worth the time to eat here. read more

Visiting this place for dinner while in Houston a business trip. The restaurant is in a shopping strip, but when you go inside it becomes an experience. It is obvious they took care in design and ambiance. The place is dimly lit, with a unique bar design that seamlessly blends into the overall look & feel of the place. I ordered the SAGE roll (8 pieces)--spicy tuna, fresh salmon, and avocado outside, topped with green onion, Serrano, spicy mayo, chili paste. Be sure to give it a try it's delicious. I also enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc "Whitehaven", it is popular and complimented my Susi well. In the mood for good sushi, check'em out. read more

I am truly a regular here. With a great bar staff John and Andrew which have become great friends when I'm in town for work and have to report to the corporate office it is a daunting drive from my corporate office all the way home about over an hour drive so I frequent Sage to let traffic die out and catch up with the crew there and enjoy some really good food. My go tos here are the lyche martini and ever since Andrew recommended the combination truffle rice I almost always order that dish. It's very addicting and I can't get enough of it. The ambiance is nice and inviting and after a long day of work I can rely on Sage and feel comforted knowing I'm going to get great food and great service! I can't believe after all the times I've been here this is my first review. Sorry guys! Happy new year! Hope to see you guys next week read more

We've traveled to Houston 4 out of the last 5 weeks. After the initial week's experience we've returned to enjoy the Sage 400 culinary experience on each of the following trips. The ambience gained from the design, decor, lighting and layout of the restaurant brilliantly enhance the service and the delicacies that you will soon experience as you enter the restaurant. Words will not adequately express how our gifted- server, Sang guided us through the next 1,5 hours. Sashimi, sushi, Chilean sea bass,, tempura, and even the tuna jawbone collar, Kama were sliced and prepared in world class fashion. If you're in Houston and would like a culinary experience, visit Sage 400. You will not be disappointed. read more

Sage 400 is a really great sushi bar. We went in for a bite to eat and we're pleasantly surprised. We were greeted and sat at the sushi bar where one of the chefs asked us what we like. He made some great recommendation. Let me tell you he was spot on with the choices. The food was excellent. The service was great. What more can you ask for? I would highly recommend this location if your looking for great service and great food at a reasonable price. They are that good. read more

I sat at the bar and Paula and John was out bartender and they gave us the greatest service! They are just the best! They really know their menu and make amazing drinks! The restaurant has an uptown vibe/ambiance yet casual at the same time. The price is on the higher end, but given the location it makes sense. I ordered the volcano roll which is my favorite! The foie gras was delicious but there was too much sauce so my nigiri broke down into pieces which was hard to eat even though they gave us a spoon.. I enjoyed the food and will come back again to try more off their menu! read more

Atmosphere: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: Very nice establishment in the beautiful Galleria Houston area. There are large, comfy booths, eclectic chairs, a lot of tables, and bar seating. The decor is very nice and the servers are very prompt and helpful. Food: We ordered the Eel Handroll, Volcano roll, Sea bass, and miso soups. The eel handroll was smoked, which is new for me. It had great flavor and was very filling. The volcano roll was actually spicy, which I appreciate! It was full of scallops and had a nice presentation. The sea bass was flavored very very well; super moist and rich! Also, the miso soups were very delicious. read more

Really on the fence about this place. Arrived to a remarkably unassuming looking spot that I almost thought was closed it was so dark but as soon as we opened the door it was clear this is a popular spot as it was full but still able to immediately seat us. Really cool decor; loved the sleek look and open sushi bar. Service was fast and friendly and food arrived quickly. I had a salad bowl called Sunomono which is a variety of sushi - shrimp, octopus,surf clam, white fish and a crab stick served over a cucumber salad. It was good but not blow your mind amazing! I understand good sushi can be pricey and I am happy to pay that but I felt this place was overpriced for the quality of what you got - a small amount of cucumber, a crab stick ( never seen that in a high end sushi restaurant) and some small cheaper cuts of fish - it was also a dire need of dine seasoning of some kind as it was quite bland. A bit of heat and some sesame oil would have changed this! Overall not bad but certainly not the best sushi restaurant I have been too and would not go out of my way to return. read more

One of the very best quality Nigiri Sushi I have experienced! Sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed the more esoteric cuts, all perfection. Two oddballs caught my eye...Foie Gras sushi and Wagyu beef sushi..orered two pieces each. The wagyu was not memorable, could have been sliced tri-tip for all I know BUT the Foie Gras sushi was sublime. Wouldn't have believed it till I tried it. A delicately seared medallion layered over nigiri sushi rice was an amazing combination and made up for the Wagyu. The rolls leaving the bar looked wonderful as well and might be on my roster before leaving Houston. read more
