    Sage Bistro still doesn't disappoint. The chef traveled the world to learn cooking techniques and it shows. Duck breast was still as succulent as ever.

    Butternut Squash Soup
    Maggie V.

    Finally got to try this spot and it didn't disappoint. Excellent service and good food. We went on a Sunday for lunch for a party of 3 and got seated right away. We ordered the following items: - deviled eggs - garlic bread - butternut squash soup - shrimp pesto pasta - spinach pasta with chicken. The food was really cooked well but a bit saucy for me. I would definitely come back.

    Since you enter Sage Bistro you feel like you are at home. We were greeted by Ms. Wanda, she is so welcoming, warm and funny. The decor is simple but the place makes up in flavor. Allen (Wanda's husband) the chef, cooked for us a delicious chicken farfalle pasta and a cooked to perfection pan seared salmon served with sauteed red onions and mushrooms over rice and parmesan potatoes. The portions are quite big so we had leftovers. The food is a fusion of Italian, American and Asian. I had a bottle of wine (who doesn't carry one in their car, right) in the car so I just paid the $15 corkage fee. Please note, there is only street parking. We had such a great time and by the end of the night we were all big family. If you find yourself in Alhambra, go and check out Sage Bistro. Cheers, Barbara

    A fusion of Italian, American and Asian is this gem of a bistro. There's street parking as well as a small lot in the back of the restaurant. The waitress (not sure if also the owner) who served us was pleasant and very hospitable during our entire dining experience. She made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in, didn't judge us when we ordered a bunch of dishes and she even brought extra napkins during the middle of our dining -- now that's service. 1. House Garden Salad (4/5) Pretty standard salad of mixed greens topped with freshly sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and crunchy croutons. Have a choice of Italian or Cesar dressing. 2. Chicken Farfalle Pasta (4/5) Bow-tie-shaped Italian pasta that is sautéed with chicken breast and sun dried tomatoes in creamy marsala sauce. The noodles were al dente while the sauce was creamy and cheesy. Wish there was more chicken and tomatoes though. 3. Deviled Eggs (5/5) Perfect hard-boiled eggs that are halved and the yolks mashed and mixed with mayo to create creaminess goodness. It is seasoned with paprika, but not too much ... just enough to give it flavor without burning your mouth. Each order comes with 6 halves 4. Beef Rib Soup (5/5) A hearty broth of beef soup that's light, savory and rich in flavor without being too salty. The beef was tender. 5. Shrimp and Chicken Jambalaya (4/5) I'm a fan of cajun flavors, so ordered this soul-comforting dish. The rice was super fluffy, the chicken was slightly over-cooked, but the shrimp and andouille sausage were cooked to perfection. The sausage had the double smoked rich flavor that I oh so enjoy while the shrimp was fresh and was coated well in the cajun seasoning. Minus 1 star mainly because I felt the seasoning was not quite there ... it missing something like the extra fiery-ness - maybe more pepper or some herbally basil? I would get it again though. 6. New Zealand Lamb Chops (5/5) The lamb chops were cooked well; fairly tender and juicy. The chimichurri sauce added flavor and balanced the gaminess out. It's served with a side of mashed potatoes and carrots. 7. Linguini with Meatballs (5/5) I personally did not try this dish so I cannot write much about it. However, per my brother, he stated that it was "a good spaghetti, but what [he] really cared for was mainly the meatballs." It was a very nice experience dining here. Will come back when in the area or when the family is having a hard time agreeing/choosing between eating Asian or American food. Overall, I'd give them a 4.5/5.

    Look at that amazing sear! Medium rare Angus Beef Ribeye Steak
    Taryn B.

    I have been wanting to come here since moving to the area 4 years ago for college, and graduating seemed like the perfect occasion, as my aunts wanted to treat me to a celebratory meal on June 10th. Delightfully understated atmosphere with unique tiles throughout the decor, and we loved that we could hear each other talk and enjoy each other's company. Our server was amazing, she was so knowledgeable while being personable and extremely funny. I assume she's the cook's wife based on the other reviews - I arrived a little after my aunts, so I didn't get a full introduction since they had already secured a table and had ordered some drinks while looking over the menu. I had my eye on 3 different meat dishes - the Roasted Duck Breast, the New Zealand Lamb, and the Angus Beef Ribeye Steak - and my aunts also had each picked 1 of those, so we went family style, and it did not disappoint!! The chef knows how to cook each type of meat to perfection, and the searing pans are doing exactly what they need to be doing! The Roast Duck Breast was AMAZING as cooked to the recommended medium, with delicious crispy skin. The Angus Beef Ribeye Steak at medium rare was as tasty as it was gorgeous! And the New Zealand Lamb was PERFECTION, down to the bone. We also got the gourmet macaroni and cheese as an add-on side, since all the meals come with mashed potatoes and various veggies, and I was in heaven! As someone who used to work at the Disney Parks and frequented the steakhouses and other fine dining both here and in Orlando, Sage Bistro is giving Disney a run for its money when it comes to high-quality meat dishes! The prices reflect both the cut of the meats and the skill of preparation, with it averaging to about $50 each across the 3 of us, which is pretty reasonable for top-tier quality! The only thing I had to be careful about was that many of the dishes have mushrooms, and my throat gets itchy if I eat most mushrooms, so I had to avoid those dishes. During our meal, when I mentioned it to our server for future visits, she was great at noting which dishes could completely be modified to have no mushrooms while also being realistic about acknowledging the dishes that cannot be, which sadly includes the Braised Short Rib that sounds out of this world. But I can have the Beef Rib Soup, so I definitely want to try that next because I WILL BE BACK!!! They also offer takeaway, and were very generous in giving us each a coupon card to use for ordering through their website.

    Chicken Farfalle Pasta

    This place has no reason to be so delicious. The ambience is classy without being too pretentious, so you don't have to feel like you're out of place wearing sweats here. Me and my partner have dined a few times and it's always been consistent. Food is good and service from the waitress is amazing! One of my favorite dishes here is definitely the duck breast. It's tender, juicy, and paired with the creamiest mash potatoes that's does not need gravy. It's that good. Still returning!

    Seared Sea Scallops

    For a casual night out w good portion sizes, you can't go wrong with Sage Bistro. The menu is fairly small, so the restaurant knows what it's good at, and doesn't mess with anything they don't pretend to know. You'll most likely have the pleasure of Wanda being your server, who is amazing and greeted A TON of regulars who walked in for dinner on a Saturday. With that many people coming back to dine again and again, you just know it's good. What we thought were 5/5 dishes: seared salmon, seared sea scallops, braised short rib, garlic butter shrimp & mashed potatoes

    Battered Jumbo Shrimp
    Vivian P.

    WOW!! If you're looking for a place to eat that also makes you feel at home, this is where you come. We've been dying to try this place and finally had the chance for our birthday! This is a small family owned business, and Wanda made us feel right at home. She recommended that we eat family style (there were five of us) so we could try a little bit of everything. We started off with the jumbo shrimp appetizer which was fried to order. It came out hot! For the mains, we got to try: shrimp garlic mashed potatoes, chicken farfalle pasta, braised short rib, pan seared salmon, and seared sea scallops. I love that this place has photos for each of the menu items so you know exactly what you're getting. The portions here are HUGE! We definitely didn't need to order 5 dishes, but we have no regrets at all. The sauce on the shrimp garlic mashed potatoes was so good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly - very bouncy. The braised short rib came on a bone and it. fell. right. off. Talk about tender!! The pan seared salmon was also cooked very well and the crispy potatoes had us fighting over it. The sea scallops were also really good! I've never had that pasta shape before. The chicken farfalle pasta was okay, nothing wrong, but the other dishes were better! Wanda mentioned they make all their desserts in house, so we couldn't leave without trying it. My god the tiramisu was SO moist!! The cheesecake was well balanced. Can't go wrong either way. We will 100% be coming back! They have a ton of regulars here and Wanda recognizes everyone, can't wait to be a regular.

    My first time here at the food was amazing, I will be back! Wanda was so sweet and attentive and we had the restaurant to ourselves. I didn't know this gem existed in Alhambra. Cute and quiet ambiance with nice music. I feel like this is a nice place for a date of you wanna be able to talk and eat

    5 Stars - A Hidden Culinary Gem in Alhambra! I brought some old friends to Sage Bistro in Alhambra once again, and we were treated to another incredibly satisfying feast. I am genuinely thrilled to have such an upscale, quiet, and relaxing restaurant right here in my neighborhood. You can truly taste the chef's passion and dedication in every dish. Every time I bring friends here, they are absolutely amazed and delighted by the flavors. We ordered quite a few dishes today. The highlight was the Chilean Sea Bass. The chef served a massive, beautifully thick cut--which is actually the hardest to execute. If overcooked even slightly, Chilean Sea Bass becomes dry and tough. But the timing here was absolutely perfect. It had a gorgeous, golden-brown exterior, while the inside remained incredibly moist, tender, and delightfully springy. The seasoning was spot-on and never overpowering; it wasn't too salty, perfectly preserving the natural, fresh flavors of the sea. We also had the Chicken Bowtie Pasta. I typically avoid chicken dishes at restaurants because they often turn out dry and lack the rich aroma you get from beef or lamb. However, Sage's chef elevates chicken to another level. Rather than using the traditional Cantonese technique of quickly flash-frying in oil (which yields a smooth texture but sacrifices the natural meat aroma), the chef here expertly pan-sears the chicken over extremely high heat for a short time. This creates a deliciously crisp exterior that locks in all the juices and rich flavor. Tossed with perfectly cooked bowtie pasta and cheese, the result is so flavorful and well-balanced that we simply couldn't stop eating! Another great thing about Sage is their incredibly generous portion sizes--we left completely satisfied! We finished our meal with a great cup of coffee and the chef's handmade Tiramisu, drawing a perfect, sweet close to our evening. Highly recommend!

    Came in about an hour and a half before closing to try this place for the first time. Speechless at how delicious all the food was! The server was working alone but she was so sweet and accommodating. Overall loved every dish and will be back!!

    Sea scallops
    Kitty H.

    It was quiet when we went but a quaint little place. We received attentive thoughtful service, but we were the only customers as it was the week of Lunar New Year, so everyone else is having Chinese food. The food? Amazing! Al dente pasta with perfectly cooked scallops and larger portions. We got the salmon mango salad (an interesting combo but it works), Cajun seafood pasta and sea scallops with trofie pasta (short, thin twisted pasta).

    Garlic shrimp mashed potatoes! Must order dish!
    nikie n.

    I Just discovered a hidden gem in Alhambra! The food is incredibly flavorful! Everything we ordered was absolutely on point. The boss lady is so welcoming and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. And their butternut squash soup, SO good. A total must order!!

I remember when it was the Diner on Main and, since then, the interior has been remodeled. The interior is comfortable, clean, and the lighting makes the place quite intimate. As for the food, I thought it was very well-seasoned without being too salty. These were the dishes we got: Chicken Salad ($28): A cold chicken salad with fried taro strips, pickled peppers, shredded carrots, cilantro, and sweet pickled onions. I thought this would be very bland, but it turned out to be my favorite dish because of how refreshing it is. The chicken is boiled like hainan chicken and seasoned with a light, tangy sauce. Everything went well together. 4.5/5 stars Orange Chicken ($18): This is a pretty typical orange chicken. I don't think it wow'd me, but I liked that it wasn't overly breaded. 4/5 stars Black Pepper Filet Mignon with Mushrooms ($25): I'm not a huge mushroom person, but I really liked the mushrooms here. It was a combo of oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms with cubed filet mignon. The beef was also really tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth. 4/5 stars Shrimp in XO sauce ($25): This dish was slightly spicier than I expected, but it was also pretty good. The size of the shrimp was huge and the vegetables were on point. It had snap peas, bell peppers, and mountain potato (aka Japanese mountain yam). 4/5 stars The service was very attentive and the owner of the restaurant was very kind. The owner helped us mix the chicken salad at the beginning of our meal and helped my mom cut her birthday cake at the end of the meal. 5/5 stars for service. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

    It has been 9 years since my last visit and I am surprised this Cantonese restaurant is still here…read moregiven the multiple changes in ownership before Henry's Cuisine. Since then the restaurant has received various accolades such as being listed in the LA Times 101 Best Restaurants from 2022 - 2025 and the 2025 Michelin Guide. [Parking]: The restaurant has its own designated parking lot with plenty of spots available. [Atmosphere]: Casual and family-friendly dining atmosphere. [Service charge]: There is an automatic 12% service charge calculated based on the pretax total with an additional 3% - 8% suggested tip calculated based on the post-tax total. [Menu]: Some of Yelp's top highlighted items include Deep Fried Salted Pig Feet, Vietnamese Style Filet Mignon, Honey Garlic Pork Chop, House Special Vietnamese Style Lobster, and House Special Black Tiger Prawns with Glass Noodles. Dishes like Steamed Garlic Alaskan King Crab, Winter Melon Soup, Braised Morel and Chicken Soup, and Steamed / House Special Channel Cod Tail all require a one-day advance order. Apparently our party received a complimentary Hong Kong Egg Waffle with an order of House Special Vietnamese Style Lobster. *** Black Bean Filet Mignon Beef Chow Fun ($22.50): It was quite good and possibly one of the better beef chow fun dishes I have had in a long time. Black Pepper Filet Mignon with Mushrooms and Honey Peas ($30.00): Decent dish and hard to mess this item up when the filet mignon is cooked right. Deep Fried Salted Pig Feet ($29.00): It was one of the restaurant's signature dishes and certainly worth a try for those who aren't afraid of pig feet. House Special Vietnamese Style Lobster (market price - 5 pounds for $200 + braised soft noodle $20): I am not exactly a lobster connoisseur, but the seasoning tasted about right. *** I like the food from Henry's Cuisine, but expect a price shock with some of the dishes they sell here. This is more of a restaurant you come to if you don't mind overpaying for consistent food quality.

    I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while, and we finally made it there for dinner…read more Someone had recommended coming for lunch, but unfortunately we didn't make it for lunch. Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.

Not a problem, the lunch menu was equally enticing. A 2-course offering for $25. I started with the Thai Prawn Ceviche. This course was wonderfully balanced, not too acidic, also a nice touch of sweetness and plump flavorful prawns. For the main, my selection was the Beef Truffle Wok-Seared Noodles. I was delighted that they were round noodles and they arrived at my table stirred in a dark sauce with sliced beef pieces on top. A small porcelain decanter was also supplied, containing the truffle oil. I poured it over my noodles. The beef was tender, moist and could be cut with the usual provided table knife. The whole dish was a winner, from start to finish. Service here, as expected, was well executed. Need to be aware of the parking though. There is a public garage around the corner that is advertised for this establishment and a few others. Problem is, that Star Leaf validates only for 1-hour, while their neighbors do so, for 2-hours. I addressed this issue with the manager at my last visit and this time too. The answer I got was not convincing to suggest that they care, or will do something about it, anytime soon. Oh well.

    Came back here for a long while to find out they have a new item which is The Garlic Brisket. The…read moretaste is amazing a must try item! The beef has that smoky taste and the texture is tender and juicy, tastes like bacon, but perfect seasoning. Mixing it with the rice and the sauce it makes a perfect match in the spot! The regular beef pepper with rice never disappoints. Meat is always tender and sliced thinly for the perfect seasoning when mixed with rice while iron plate still sizzling , you be your own cook hhmm yummy ! Service is nothing much to praise because most of the necessities are self serve, including the drinks: The cashier was friendly and helpful. The inside aesthetic decor was coolio I took a few snaps to post it here and my IG account. There's video if the food they're promoting. There's also Kids menu for little eaters. The food was delicious that I ate it all and my tummy was happy. Will come back again to try the salmon dish! It looks delicious on the banner and the person sitting next to me lol If you haven't Pepper Lunch and wanted something different ti cook in your own , come to experience it yourself , I am sure you will fall in love with it as much much as I did

    Came here with friends for World Pepper Lunch Day since they were doing a BOGO special. We arrived…read morea couple minutes after they opened and there was already a line. Luckily, the line wasn't super long and we weren't in the sun. The wait wasn't too bad and we were seated after about 45 minutes. The store manager and marketing manager were really friendly and briefly talked to us while we waited. They also took some pictures and even gave us a free Peppi keychain. It is very cute and made our wait more enjoyable. The bogo was only for the beef pepper rice so that's what we all ordered. We were seated outside since we were a larger group but it was nice and not too hot. The food was served ten minutes after we sat down which was super fast. We had to go inside to grab the garlic sauce ourselves since they don't put them on the outside tables. The water was also self-serve. I enjoyed the beef pepper rice but there was significantly less beef than I believe would be if it wasn't bogo. But the beef quality is good and tasted great mixed on the hot stone pot and with the rice, corn and garlic sauce. Overall, it was a great experience with fast service and delicious food. It would have been a bit better with more beef but still very good.
