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

Andrew the bartender was as very knowledgeable but once his regulars came in he completely ignored my coworker and I. That completely took the experience down 20 Notches!! I asked for soda water 3 times!!! Before actually receiving it. So annoying. And to be ignored when there was only 4 others sitting around completely unacceptable. I'm no sushi connoisseur but it wasn't that tasty. read more

This place is amazing. The food and the service was the best we have had in years. Pepper tuna carpaccio, pork belly and fois Gras sushimi was incredible. The sea bass and salmon..amazing. Served with a chilled sake....wow. read more

Good food, but the slow service does not warrant the high prices. I was staying at a nearby hotel, and this restaurant does not have the most rudimentary of plasticware or paper cups. The food was above average, but I will go elsewhere at those prices. read more

A friend of mines recommended this place, I decided to come during a weekday around 2 pm after the lunch rush. It was nobody in there, so perfect I decided to take a seat at the bar. It took awhile for a server to come to the bar to take my order & keep up with my drink order given it was just the same drink. I had 3 alcoholic drinks, 2 Alaska hand rolls and a Sunrise Sunset roll. At the time the menu said $24 for the Sunset roll, but the lady advise they would have to increase the price by $15 due to the cost of the King crab. I told her that was fine to proceed, inflation go figure it's impacting everyone so I understand. The time I was finished with everything my tab was definitely over $100. I have no issue paying for quality sushi, but for me the service itself was lacking so I won't be back. read more

Had dinner here last eve don't get me wrong the sushi was wonderful. Let start by saying I travel weekly for work and do sushi 1-3 times a week All across this country. In some of the most expensive cities. For the price point this place is cray cray. Service although good should have been superb at what I paid. Atmosphere was nice but also not equatable to the price point. read more

Not a good experience first walking in. Table of 4. We wanted a big booth. The hostess says no, it's reserved for a bigger group. I point to two other tables, of 4 and 3 In the same size large table. She SNAPS at me and says "LIKE I SAID it's reserved for a bigger table. It's our last large booth" Like ok? No need to raise your voice. Also when I point out two other tables have LESS than what he have and are sitting at a big table. Also, they're leaving soon. You'd have both their tables open up. I used to be a host. I know how it works. Also if you want some money for the damn table just say that. Otherwise I feel discriminated against. The two tables that got the large table were all white famines. My table was Hispanic/Indian decent. Oh, by the way, I sat and watched those tables be filled up through out the night.. all small white parties. 2-3 people per table. Then the tables were empty the entire night. ******Rude big seemingly Mexican hostess with a skinny pony tail. Sunday Sept 19 at 7:30pm. Disgusting Attitude. ALSO!!! We couldn't handle the spice of two of the dishes and we politely asked to send it back three times. WHY is it still on the bill?! "because nothing was wrong with it" LMAOOOO OMG! We didn't like it!!!!!!! Send it back. ANY OTHER PLACE WOULD. "We're a small mom and pop restaurant" says the manager. Lol. More of a reason to have better customer service so you stay in business. Am I right?!?! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. never return!!!!!! STAY AWAY! read more

I love their miso Chilean Sea bass. And their lychee martini is amazing. Service is always on point. Ambiance is always warm and friendly.

We came here twice in one week. In town for an event. Excellent quality and service on all fronts. The food is a step above your average sushi restaurant. Very fresh high quality ingredients, with attention to detail. The second time we went we brought family. It was so busy inside we decided we were uncomfortable to stay due to our concerns about Covid still. The proprietress was a lovely, lovely, gracious woman. She could have let us go on our way once we decided we weren't comfortable inside, but readily offered us a table on their small and rarely used (now) front patio. She wiped the table down herself and was so lovely. Then we had John as our server, who is also the bartender. He was fabulous and very personable. Absolutely appreciate the above and beyond customer service and the amazing food. Thank you again. read more

The place looks nice, but unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the ambiance. I've had sushi in tons of cities, and this was my first time trying it in Houston. The food tasted more like something you'd get from a generic chain restaurant. I also ordered the chicken skewer appetizer, but honestly, I'm not even sure it was chicken. Overall, not impressed with the quality of the food. read more

We tried to eat here as we had a large work group meeting at the hotel nearby but they can't accommodate large groups. It was a shame as we were on our corporate tab but they just don't have the setting for big parties. The tables are way too close together so they are unable to put them together to accommodate. read more

Angie and her team are excellent. The wine was incredible! Monk roll was flavorful and the mushroom on crispy rice cake was divine!! Edamame hummus was addictive. This is a hidden gem in Houston! So many vegetarian options. We will be back! read more

I went there one time for lunch.. The lunch special is quite a fair portion with the price. The restaurant is with nice interior. Although the food is not quite authentic but I think it is good enough Japanese food in Houston TX. The sashimi is fresh. The rice of the sushi is either not too soft or too hard. The service is quite nice there also. I would say its a good place for lunch that you can get more than you pay for there. read more

The rolls are okay but sashimi really bad. I've tried the sky diver roll with soft shell crab inside and topped with unagi and avocado, and the Raw Beef Roll with shrimp, daikon and avocado inside, wrapped with thinly sliced raw beef on the outside and served in ponzu sauce; both rolls are pretty delicious! Fresh salmon roll is yummy as well; one word, freshness! California roll is not bad either but just a tad boring. On the other hand, the sashimi sucks! Escolar is somewhat buttery and acceptable; yet, the salmon sashimi is not fresh, not creamy, without any of those fatty white stripes, and the worst of all, tastes kind of rubbery! For the price paid, nuh-uh! this place is no-good. read more

Sage 400 is my 'go to' restaurant when I am at work and need a sushi fix. Very consistent quality and staff is very attentive. I usually sit at the sushi bar by myself, but I'm told the bar area is more entertaining. I've been wanting to try the happy hour, but nothing on the menu has encouraged me to get there within the limited HH time. Highly recommend! read more

When we walked in, we immediately realized how nice this place as it's deceiving from the outside since it's located in a strip mall. I did think it's a little pricey, but the food is fresh and tasty. Don't remember exactly everything we ordered, but food was very good and was presented nicely. The seared sashimi was good, wasn't a fan of the pork belly or the tempura crawfish. read more

Sage 400 is the place to go for amazing Japanese food, sushi and great service. From the appetizers (the server will recommend special items off the menu) including Toro which was smooth and perfectly seasoned. The Calamari Tempura was soft yet tasty with the right amount of outside crispness! The crowd favorite of appetizers, is the Chilean Sea Bass Wraps. The Sea Bass is prepared just right and is always sooo yummy! To the main courses of Lamb Chops (seared perfectly!) and Sky Diver Roll with soft shell crab, fresh water eel and avocado. This Roll is to die for! The Chicken Katsu was fried to an ideal crispness and served with a katsu yummy sauce. I like Iced Tea and asked for Agave which is my sweetener of choice. So happy they serve it here! Overall, if you want a spot to go that serves mouthwatering food and offers service that makes you feel at home, Sage 400 is for you! read more

Came here tonight because I like this place and it's in my neighborhood but today, the sushi roll and edamame i ordered were scalding hot and the inside of my cheek is burned and swollen.

---Dearest Reader, I can still recall the day Sage 400 sanctified my itinerary. Blessed be. I am impressed. There is much work ahead before our next campaign. As the eagles fly, the salmon swim. Feathers may fall, but filets are earned. Upon first bite, I pinched myself and asked, "Am I eating salmon sashimi, or am I indulging in amish butter?" - at this point, I tell myself, "What is the difference". Mistake me not, this traveler knows well. Many a fish markets this man has journeyed. I know superiority, and this is held to my highest regard. To be, is to know oneself. To know oneself, is to look in the mirror. Can one look thyself in thy mirror and say, "12 pieces of sashimi (3 salmon, 3 yellow tail and 3 maguro is not value at $20?" Ignorance is bliss, or is it bliss that is ignorant, ---Mitchell read more

I ordered sea eel and avocado roll. It was very small,too much sauce, and rolled not tight enough. I do no recommend.

Had a very enjoyable meal at Sage400. Everything tasted super fresh - taro chips were crisp and clean (not that much oil on them compared to other places)- salmon melt in your mouth - king crab had a very nice bite to it. Everything was paired very well with sauces that everyone at my table was satisfied with. Prices are a bit high, but you're paying for the quality food and for the quality service we recieved as well as the nice atmosphere the restaurant had. My favorite wad definitely the ceviche, summer delight(I think it was the triple delight -- servers reccomendation which turned out to be fantastic) and the surf n turf. The ceviche was a mouth explosion when you bite into it, the powerful citrus flavors that perfectly compliment the fish and with a kick of spice from the jalepeno slice, on the taro chip was just so enjoyable, wish I got more rather than having to split it with the table -- comes with 5 pieces of chips, one for everyone at the table! The servers delight reccomendation was just so fresh and the yellow tail was great with the shiso leaf. Surf n turf was really enjoyable for me because I like the rawish beef on my sushi, and it was just all so perfectly balanced between beef and shrimp and veggies inside with the sauce perfectly complimenting it all. Everything else was also pretty fresh and everyone loved everything and had no dislikes whatsoever. The gyoza was cripsy on the bottom, and soft on top with a perfect sauce to go with it. The king crab with cucumbers was just so refreshing overall. Last but not least, the fried ice cream was very well done, the mango strawberry sauces paired perfectly with the fried ice cream adding that sweet sourness to break up the heavyness of the cream and the fat from being fried. Thank you for an enjoyable dinner read more

My order: Sunomono salad, Yellowtail roll, chopped scallop nigiri, and the Sage 400 roll Early March My party was promptly greeted and led to our table. No waiting needed around 7pm on Saturday. Once 7:30 hits, BOOM! Packed and loud. Our server looked like he was nice and patient. My mom took a while and he seemed ok with it. At one point, he just seemed a bit fake. Read the next paragraph to see why. Sunomono salad ($15) 2/5 It was a chilled salad with thin slices of cucumber, a citrus-soy sauce based dressing that was tangy, and 2 pieces of each of the following: cooked octopus, cooked surf clam, and cooked shrimp. (Extra $11 if king crab is added) When I first saw the salad, it was quite lacking, it really was. There were 2 slices each of octopus, shrimp and surf clam. Other than that, it was just cucumber drowning in the salad dressing, I informed my waiter about it and he asked me if I ate the fish. . . . Are you kidding me? You think I don't know what fish looks or tastes like? I mean I did move around some of the salad to look for the possibly hidden fish, but for him to ask if I had already ate it after showing him that I know what should be in the salad according to the menu is a bit insulting. The fish was the only raw seafood within that whole salad too. Even though, I'm sure he was not convinced and still doubted whether I was lying, he still brought it out. Which did help make it up. Chopped scallop nigiri ($3.5) 4/5 Nothing out of place. It's your standard chopped scallop, spicy mayo and the orange masago on top of rice and rolled by nori (seaweed). Around the size of a thumb. I would have probably preferred the whole scallop nigiri. Yellowtail scallion roll ($8 for 6 pcs) 5/5 It's a simple but flavorful roll without too many sauces or flairs hindering the star of the show. Contains yellowtail, masago, and chopped scallions altogether wrapped in rice and nori. Sage 400 roll (8 pcs for $20) 4/5 Pricey but not bad. It's filled with spicy tuna (which is really finely minced) and wrapped outside by nori, rice, salmon, avocado and topped by chopped scallions, sliced jalapeño and drizzled with spicy mayo. The presentation is great and many extra flairs are added, but unfortunately that's what makes a big part of that price. The upside is the rolls are more packed with fish compared to the simple rolls. Instead of ordering this, I would suggest a fresh salmon roll ($6.5) and spicy tuna roll ($8.5) or pepper tuna roll ($9), which both come more simply in looks, but more transparent in the quality of fish and are not detracted by the little touches (scallion, jalapeño and sauce) that spike the price. Would I come back? Most likely not if the standard is the same. I'm not sure if all the waiters there are like him, but I still feel insulted. There is a multitude of restaurants I would choose over this establishment based on quality, pricing, service, and ambience. Ex: Miyagi, Izakaya wa, Hando, Iwa ya Teppanyaki, Roka Akor, Aka Sushi House, etc. read more

Sage 400 Japanese Cuisine - The Red River Roll was excellent. - Japanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Long overdue review for a really exceptional, fairly casual sushi spot that's appropriate for all occasions - from happy hour to business dinner to celebrations. Not only is it a really cute and always a satisfying experience, but most important is the consistency. The food is always fresh and yummy, the atmosphere is lively but never a wait, and the servers are attentive and patient. We have been coming here for years, mostly for family dinners, and we have some picky eaters and tough customers in our group. We've never had problems with our requests and servers are eager to accommodate and customize items. Just a few of my favorites: miso soup, seaweed salad, California roll w king crab, monk roll (delicious sauce) and veggie tempura. There are plenty of veggie options and something for everyone, whether you want duck or a salad or sashimi or a full entree with sides. I do think it's a little pricey, but the food is truly fresh and quality and you save on self parking right outside the entrance! I haven't really had the full happy hour experience, but the $6 HH wine is good and available until 7. The bar is nice, big and modern and leads to a patio - good option if the weather is nice. Crowd is mostly professionals, some families and business clientele, so a nice mix of people. It's pleasant but not really a trendy Roka Akor or Uptown Sushi atmosphere, which is ok - that's one of the reasons we love it. Hope you like it as much as we do! read more
