Wow! I cannot believe that I have never tried this restaurant even though I live nearby. I ordered the Cajun Pasta for delivery and had a great experience. My food came well prepared and packed. The pasta is super tasty and I will definitely be ordering from here again! My only con was that the pricing is a bit on the higher end. read more

I had this place bookmarked for the longest time I just tried it a few days ago with my friends. The menu was simple and honestly, I'd say some of the dishes based on the menu pictures look like a copycat of Cheesecake Factory and I love Cheesecake Factory. And I can confirm that one of the dishes taste similar to Cheesecake Factory's. We ordered the Pan Seared Salmon, Chicken Farfelle Pasta and Cajun Seafood Pasta. The food was a bit heavy cuz of the sauce but otherwise it was delicious just like Cheesecake Factory. read more

Didn't know this place existed til a friend brought me here but the food is amazing! Staff was very personable and friendly, making the experience even better. We got the chicken farfalle and shrimp garlic mashed potatoes. The farfalle was flavorful and I really enjoyed it but the star was the garlic shrimp. I don't know how they make that sauce but it is SMACKIN. Comparable to getting addicted to crack. Really flavorful and I wish I could smear it on everything I eat. Well done! read more

I am surprised to see that I have yet to write a review for Sage Bistro. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Alhambra. I discovered this a few years ago and try to go back every chance I get. The owner (I call her Auntie Wanda) always treats me like family! Her and her husband love what they do and you can truly taste it in the cooking and feel it in the environment. Highly recommend anyone to try this spot! read more

Actually came here by mistake. Don't know what we were thinking, but we thought this Sage is the same as the Sage in Culver City. No it isn't. But glad we made the accident, this place is pretty good! Love their menu. It's small. Makes my option narrow and convinces me that everything is made fresh and with love. Place feels pretty small. Long narrow restaurant. But it's all good. read more

I love this little gem! It is definitely a little mm and pop restaurant. They really make you feel right at home. Also the food here is great! Really you can tell that they care about the food they serve. The food can be a little pricey but they have a great variety of different dishes. This place was surprising to me because I didnt expect it to have such great flavors. What I normally order is the chicken farfalle pasta. Complete shock to how amazing it was. The portion was actually huge. Chicken was nice and moist, nice and creamy, and a nice touch with the sun dried tomatoes to give it that acidity taste to balance the creaminess. I also had a little taste of the stuff chicken breast as well. Also very nice and juicy. Had a nice honey glaze to sweeten the chicken and played on a sweet and savory dish. It comes stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and some herb feta cheese. Overall my visits here always leave me full and happy. Great quality food and nice people who welcome you to their restaurant. read more

I ordered to go - duck breast and stuffed chicken breast. It costed more compared to previously as I saw the old prices on the pictures other yelpers posted. The duck breast costs $19 now. If the duck breast is $19, I would have a higher expectation. The duck breast was rough and dry. There were parts that had seasoning, but some parts were tasteless. I preferred the chicken breast and their sauce better. The chicken was more tender than the duck breast for sure. read more

The restaurant has delicious food. More than enough variety to choose from Chicken, Beef, Seafood, Fish, Duck, and Pork. The presentation of the dishes are not only yummy, but also beautiful. What a gourmet hidden in the Alhambra area! read more

the alfredo pasta here is sooooo bomb! the portions are huge too - it's definitely possible to share one pasta for two people. i added chicken but lowkey don't think the price is worth the amount of chicken they added. pesto was pretty good too, very fresh and herbal. didn't care for the linguini and meatballs. the spinach and mushroom alfredo was amazing tho, it came out steaming hot and the flavors were perfectly balanced. read more

First time I've been here is back 2016 and I remember food was great. So, I decided to come back here again since I really enjoy my first visit and still food are delicious. Side of Mac & cheese $6 not bad, my daughter and I really enjoyed it. Pan seared salmon it comes with lil bit of rice and a lot of potatoes, very heavy dish. Chicken farfalle pasta it has capers and sundried tomatoes, good combination. Unlimited iced tea Overall, food are fantastic and generous portions. Price is affordable. Easy to find parking. One of my favorite restaurant in Alhambra. read more

Sage Bistro is an interesting place. The place serves an Italian/Asian fusion. The decor is actually tame for the dishes (and menu prices). There are mirrors along the walls. The tables are kind of close to each other which made noises/conversations amplified. The food menu is vast, but there are some classic dishes and huge portions! Excellent food with very reasonable prices. The restaurant is very suitable for large parties too so come out and party. read more

I came with my family pre-Covid, so we were able to enjoy a dine in experience. Food - Started with the smoked salmon bruschetta, it was delicious and probably our favorite item of the night. For the entrees, I got the chicken farfelle pasta and my family enjoyed the pesto shrimp pasta, salmon salad, and pork chop. In my opinion, the chicken pasta was a bit salty and very heavy, so I wasn't able to eat much before I felt full. I got to try the salmon salad, which I would say was much better than the chicken pasta. The mango on the salad really elevated the overall taste and made everything seem fresher and lighter. Portions were huge for everything. Price - Price was pretty average for the area, definitely not cheap but not incredibly expensive either. Our bill came out to less than 100 dollars for 4 people. Service - The lady (I think she's the owner) was really nice and attentive, but the service was very, very slow. It took more than 40 minutes for us to receive our food, and we saw people seated after us get served first. Tldr: Overall a solid place for lunch and dinner (nothing special), but be prepared to wait for a while before receiving your food. read more

I am definitely reviewing the correct restaurant. I don't appreciate you trying to redirect responsibility of your rude & non-customer service oriented staff. If you have a problem with receiving constructive commentary to improve your business, you really are in the wrong industry. read more

This was a totally random find. It looked like a nice quiet place and that's what I wanted. So many places in this area are crowded and noisy, so it was a great find. It's a very comfortable restaurant. It's not loud, easy to talk. We weren't really hungry so we split the seared salmon salad with mango. $16. It was really nice and the portion was decent. Service was friendly and efficient. All good! Bottled beer is $5, and iced tea is $3.50. It was perfect for what me and my friend were looking for. A nice, relaxing place to talk and the fact that the food was good was an added bonus. It skews a little on the pricey side but only by a few bucks higher than other places that serve similar fare. Street parking was easy to find, even on a weekend night. It's at the quieter end of the many food and drink establishments on Main street in Alhambra. read more

American-Italian restaurant owned by Asian (i assumed!), interesting! food was pretty good, everything we had was good - but they could manage the temperature of the food better, like the devil eggs could be a little more chill, and all other entrees could be hotter... service was excellent! we were a big group and the lady was able to accommodate us with everything we need and even noticed our glasses were almost empty before we did! would recommend to give this place a try - there was no wait on weekend dinner hours. read more

Located on Main street, Sage Bistro is my new spot for Italian food in the neighborhood. Parking is on the street but it isn't hard to find on the side streets and there are multiple plazas nearby with free structured parking. The restaurant itself seem that it is family owned and it simple in its decor. The waitstaff was very nice and attentive. The place should be fine for larger or small parties. It would be a good place for a date given that it's quiet and you can hear each other talk. The price range is more expensive but still reasonable. I had the chicken farfalle pasta and it was just as good as the reviews said it would be. It was rich and creamy and hit the spot. My friends had the shrimp and grits and pesto linguini with shrimp which were both good, but in my opinion, the chicken pasta was the best. read more

This is a rather expensive restaurant for the San Gabriel Valley, so I held off on visiting for quite some time. That said, the menu items looked appealing, so I made a mental note to some day try it out. Eventually, my girlfriend and I decided to finally give this restaurant a try. The menu is definitely very expensive for food in Alhambra. With just two entrees, our final bill exceeded $40, more than the cost of a lot of restaurants nearby. Sage Bistro's focus is on Asian fusion with an American focus. I got the salmon with potatoes, and my girlfriend got the jambalaya. The salmon was pretty good, and the potatoes were ok but a bit greasy. The jambalaya had a nice kick to it, without being too spicy, but again it felt really greasy. Overall, the restaurant is not too bad, but it's very expensive compared to other food options in the area. I would recommend trying it once, but it's not a place I'd frequent given the high price tag without being a "super fancy" location and good but not amazing options. read more

I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't check this place out sooner. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! I love love pasta, and other coma-inducing Italian foods, so I was very intrigued to hear that this was an Italian-Asian fusion restaurant. The inside definitely has more if a small mom-pop Italian restaurant vibe, and it was not too busy on a Sunday evening for dinner. Between the three of us, we ordered the Salmon Mango Salad, Shrimp Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Cajun Seafood Pasta. EVERYTHING WAS BOMBBBBB. Generously big piece of salmon in the salad, with a simple dressing was the perfect "breakdown dish" to go with the the mash and pasta. The shrimp in the creamy mashed potatoes dish was so well cooked. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Not often do I leave a restaurant thinking about what I'm going to order THE NEXT TIME, but THIS TIME I DID. read more

Small family business, husband and wife duo. Great food, great service and great addition to 626! I love this place. Everything that I have had here is simple delicious! My top 3 dishes: Salmon Salad with Mango Salsa: so good, light, bright and very delicious! Garlic Shirmp: normally comes with mash potatoes but I switch it to rice and it tastes soo much better. Mostly because the rice gives it a different texture and a little more bite. Tiramisu: what is there not to love ?? If you are ever in Alhambra, give this place a try. You will not regret it! read more

Small mom & pops restaurant with fresh, high quality ingredients. Everything is made to order so don't complain about having to wait! If you're on a time crunch, either call in your order or come back when you have time. So far, I have tried the smoked salmon bruschetta, beef bone soup, chicken farfalle pasta, shrimp garlic mash, braised beef with mash & rice, the pork chop, the Chilean sea bass, pork chop & the tiramisu. Every dish has been packed with flavor & you can tell the husband really puts love & effort into his cooking. Besides the food, the place is clean & the wife does an amazing job taking care of the front end of the restaurant. read more

My girlfriend and I came to Sage Bistro on a Saturday night and the restaurant was not too busy. She's obsessed with the farfalle pasta, saying she craves it, and that night she was craving it yet again. We ordered the deviled eggs to share, she of course ordered the farfalle pasta and I ordered the seared salmon with mango salsa. The deviled eggs were a nice sized portion, with each had three halves of eggs and they were flavorful and the texture of the paste was perfect. Delish! The chicken farfalle pasta was modified because my friends is pescatarian, thus is was ordered without chicken nor pancetta (pork). Still, it was delicious! I can see why she craves the flavors as the sauce is rich yet light at the same time. Yum! The pan seared salmon with mango salsa salad left a lot to be desired solely because mango is seasonal and the mango was not ripe. The salmon was slightly overcooked but I am very particular in how salmon is seared, this salmon was not seared, it was cooked thoroughly throughout. I prefer salmon to be slightly uncooked in the center because it is less dry. This dish was meh. Would definitely recommend the chicken farfalle pasta! read more

We started with the chef's special artichoke dip ... I don't think this is on the menu often, so if it is on your visit, you better order it! As a non-vegan dining with vegan friends, I couldn't tell that this wasn't regular cream and cheese. It was delicious! We had a great time with amazing food and drink. read more

Given the 4.5 star rating, I walked in with fairly high expectations. There was only 1 other table the evening we visited Sage Bistro, yet it took over 20 minutes for the food to be served. We ordered the pork chop and chicken farfalle, and both were decent. I was surprised that the pork chop was so tender that I didn't even need a knife. However, it was disappointingly dry. The chicken farfalle was a better dish overall, but still considered average. On the other hand, both dishes had very healthy portions, so the value was great. I don't regret giving this place a try, but I will not return. read more

There's a lot of great restaurants in Alhambra, but Sage oh Sage is my ALL TIME FAVORITE. Food is always amazing. Butternut squash: warm, creamy, silky smooth comforting bowl of deliciousness. Duck breast cooked perfectly and goes well with the creamy mashed potatoes. Jambalaya also was very good. Service is also great! The first time I tried the place years ago, the lady who works there (probably also the owner) gave us extra serving of mashed potatoes. She's always attentive and treats customers like family. There's parking available in the back of the restaurant and also lots of spaces on the street. read more

This place is like going over to your mom's house for a hearty, comforting meal. Met my friend there on a Sunday night at 6PM. We were the only people in the restaurant but the place slowly started to fill in with people We asked our waitress which ones were the most popular and decided to share two dishes - the Braised Beef Ribs and the Stuffed Chicken Breast. Food came out fairly fast - maybe 5-6 minutes and was delicious! The beef ribs fell off the bone and had some kind of cocounutty flavor to it. I'm not a huge fan of coconut but it worked for the dish, and was served with veggies and rice. The chicken was "orange" flavored and stuffed with spinach and cheese and came with mashed potatoes and veggies. Overall they were both really tasty and hearty. read more

Very clean, small restaurant in Alhambra right across from tea station. The, I suppose, owner was really nice when we walked in but when she started to take our order, she became a completely different person: cold, very direct, didn't smile, and acted like she didn't speak Chinese even though she spoke Chinese to us on the way in. Didn't really speak after taking our order and just dropped our plates on our table and turned away. The food wasn't bad. We started with the SMOKED SALMON (6 small bites for $10) which was interesting but really wasn't anything special. The BUTTERNUT SQUASH soup was a bit too thick for me and was on the sweeter side but after a couple of bites, it grows on you. They do sprinkle some pine nuts and bacon on top so if you are allergic or vegetarian, I would let them know while you're ordering. The best dish we had was the SALMON with the MANGO on a bed of greens. The vinaigrette dressing was really delicious and the mango complimented the salmon perfectly. Probably the best dish of this meal. The other dishes were just okay--we ordered the MASHED POTATOES but they weren't that special (if you're brining your grandma I would suggest this dish though because it's nice and soft); the JAMBALAYA was too salty and the rice was too wet; and the CAJUN PASTA tasted exactly like the jambalaya so if you decide to dine here, just pick one or the other. Overall clean place but average food and awful personality from the server/owner. read more

A surprisingly delicious option in the city of Alhambra! Located right next to Alondra's Hot Wings and across from Tea Station, Sage Bistro is a warm welcome of American, Italian and Asian fusion. Restaurants here seem to have a high turnaround rate, but I'm hoping that this one stays! I tried their roasted duck breast. This was very good! The skin of the duck breast took some time to chew, but the breast was roasted perfectly. Juicy, ducky, tender and seasoned just right with their tasty port and truffle balsamic reduction sauce. Even though the skin was a little chewy, there was a perfect amount of fat to balance the meat. The steamed veggies were alright, nothing special, but their mashed potato was definitely one of the best things there! Creamy, fluffy, and buttery...everything I imagined mashed potatoes to be. The Duck Leg Confit with curry was not bad either. Their sweet and spicy curry sauce had a good strong flavor, but it wasn't over whelming. I definitely had curry that was just as good, or even better elsewhere though, so I'd skip this dish next time...of course unless you really like curry. Comes with a bed of rice. Finally, the Stuffed Chicken Breast. Honey orange glazed chicken breast stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, garlic and herb feta cheese. This was absolutely delicious. The chicken was super crunchy and not dry one bit! The stuffing in there was proportioned perfectly. The cheese was present, but not overbearing so that you couldn't taste anything else. This dish actually tasted healthy! Also comes with the amazing mashed potatoes and the so-so veggies. I'm happy this place is right around the corner from my home. It's got a lot of competition with all the booming restaurants in Alhambra, especially when it's off toward the west of Alhambra...but I sure hope they are here to stay! read more

This place serves American and Italian style dishes with a little bit of Asian flair. The menu is quite simple with about 10 entrees ranging from dishes like Braised Beef Ribs, Pork Chop Casserole, Dug Leg Confit, Cajun Seafood Pasta, and few others. It's one of the fancier restaurants in this area and price is a bit on the high side as well. Most of the dishes range somewhere around $11-$18 with the exception of Angus Beef Rib Eye Steak which is $28. On my first visit I got the Shrimp & Chicken Jambalaya. I had a hard time deciding whether I liked this dish or not. I was expecting it to taste like Cajun style jambalaya but it didn't. It had the right spiciness but lacked flavor. The shrimps were pretty small, and slightly raw carrots just didn't work for me. It tasted more like spicy fried rice than a jambalaya. I decided to give this place another try so I came back and tried the Stuffed Chicken Breast. This was a better dish and also slightly less expensive. I feel like calling this the Italian orange chicken roll because they're cut into round pieces like sushi roll but has chicken stuffed with garlic, spinach, and herb feta cheese. Outside is crunchy like orange chicken and it's drizzled with some orange honey glaze. The orange glaze was a bit overpowering but other ingredients worked well together. Just a dab of the glaze would've done a better job. The dish also came with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables which were pretty good. I think this place has potential but I'm not quite ready to give anything higher than a 3 at this time. I may come back and try the Braised Beef Ribs because it's suppose to be the signature dish. read more

If you want amazingly deliciously Chinese food, this is the place to be. I have tried the Duck, pork chop, and the braised beef. I would have to rate the braised beef as the number one best item, the duck second, and the pork chop. The pork chop here is incredibly tender, so tender that you don't even need a knife to cut it -- you can just use a spoon. The staff here is friendly and attentive. This place is not really good for family style since most dishes are for individuals and it's not a big restaurant so it's not great for groups either. Food takes a while to come out, but that's expected since the food taste great. read more
