Sage Sushi Lounge has a welcoming atmosphere with a simple, comfortable dining room and friendly service that makes you feel like a regular pretty quickly. It's not overly fancy, but it's clean, calm, and consistently pleasant for a casual night out. The food is the real highlight. The sushi is fresh, well-prepared, and comes in a wide variety of rolls--from classic favorites like spicy tuna to more specialty options. The hibachi dishes and appetizers like crab rangoon and gyoza are also solid choices if you want something beyond sushi. Portions are satisfying, and the flavors are consistently good for a local spot in the Sun City/Ruskin area. Service is generally warm and attentive, though things can slow down a bit during busy times, which is pretty typical for a popular neighborhood restaurant. It's the kind of place people return to often because it's reliable and easy. read more

I walked in to place a to-go order. The restaurant was very clean, well designed and welcoming. If I didn't have my dog in the car, I would have sat to eat. I have a lot of food allergies, so I have to custom order my sushi. Thankfully they were very accommodating. I ordered the On The Beach roll, modified. When I got to my destination and opened the box, I was impressed by the presentation. It was served like it was ready for a photograph. ((Unfortunately I forgot to take that picture, I was hungry.)) The roll was well made, beautiful and delicious. I will return here again. I recommend them for dine in or carry out. Thank you Sage Sushi. read more

I've been there a few times. The food was always delicious. Their won ton soup is the best I've had locally. They use shrimp and pork and a thin wrap. All their appetizers are delicious. I do not eat sushi so I've had their hibachi or noodle options. Everything was tasty and fresh. Family members that were there said the sushi was good, I have been disappointed at any Asian restaurant/take-out in this area. This is my only choice. My only complaint when we were 8 in our group was that service was slow. read more

FYI: my wife and I love to visit sushi restaurants. We have enjoyed sushi once a week now for about 20 years all over the country. We visited Sage at least 6 times over a year, "when we are in town". This is one of our favorite places... The chef is Brian, he has been involved with the sushi restaurant business since childhood. The first thing we noticed is the sushi is extremely fresh, you know sweet & buttery.!! Brian is generous with his cuts, just like you're family. Presentation is very important to him, like an artist.. They do offer Sake, Wine, and Beer. The menu has a great verity of dishes, salads, sushi, and sushi rolls. there are also non-sushi dishes for those who haven't dove into the sushi waters yet.. Sage is a very clean, with a casual and friendly atmosphere. Yumm..!! read more

After a morning of horseback riding at a nearby park, we stopped that this shopping center for ramen, sushi and sake! We got there right around opening and were the first customers. They greeted us right away and told us to pick any table. The server came out and took our order pretty quickly. It was nice and dark and very quiet inside. Our food took about 25-30 minutes but when it came out it was very well presented. We literally ate everything up. I wish I could remember the name of the two ramens--but one had crispy crunchy chicken and the other had ground pork. Both had wonderful flavor. The sushi was all very good too. I had the cold lychee sake and they bring you a small bottle which was nice because I didn't finish it and was able to take it with me. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area! read more

Whether dine in our takeout, you won't be disappointed. Sushi is fresh and service is welcoming. Try the Tan Tan Men if you're in the mood for ramen. It's yummy. read more

We have been here twice so far. Once during their soft opening and about a few months later. The ambiance is peaceful. The service is fairly slow depending on where you sit. Staff is friendly. It did take a while for us to get our food. The food is tasty, however both times we wanted to try their tan tan men it wasn't available. We do want to come back to try it. read more

Amazing family owned and operated sushi restaurant, Bryan creates amazing sushi and everything we have tried from the kitchen is delicious too. The decor is lovely and the service is friendly. They are always happy to accommodate substitutions; my favorite is the tsunami roll with tuna instead of salmon. read more

My wife and I ate a Mother's Day lunch today at Sage Sushi. The Gyoza, Wanton Soup, Sushi and of course Saki was excellent not to mention the service as well. We will be back. read more

Sage Sushi Lounge - Sushi Bar! - Japanese Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

a family member told me about this place a few weeks ago. First off, I drove by the place two other times looking for it and passed right by because there are two signs, one for nails and one for sushi. The place was completely empty (between 4:30 & 6:00pm) when I walked in and I was greeted by a young lady asking if I had placed a to-go order. I told her no I was looking to place an order and eat; she handed me a menu that I skimmed through and I settled on the chicken hibachi with a salad and a soda, which were cans. I was shocked at the price, but paid and asked to sit at a table to wait hoping the amount of food would be worth the price. The wait was acceptable for what was being prepared; it was very quiet & relaxing wait since I was the only person there and it only took about ten to fifteen minutes before the young lady brought me a to-go bag... which I opened and ate at the table; two sections filled with rice and the main section with veggies & chicken; the salad was in a separate container. The was also a little cup of yum yum sauce and a small cup of (guessing) sesame dressing for the salad. The hibachi itself was very good...chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, onions & carrots; the salad, even with the dressing was very plain and bland. I left a 20% tip just for the food because it was good, but don't see myself going back...slightly over $30, including the tip, for one person is a little ridiculous! I could have driven to a steakhouse and had a good ribeye for that cost. read more

Sage Sushi Lounge - Chicken hibachi, salad and two 12oz cans of soda for almost $30.00 - Japanese Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

Won't return. Spacious; disposable cute chopsticks; chipped water bottle. No liquor license Forks are on the table. The server brought over chopsticks later, asking if we need. Service is good. Food is so so - the rice is on the hard side, which I don't like. We ordered Sage sushi special twice and they came differently. Two eel nigiri are ok. Sage sashimi special is so so. Spicy salmon roll isn't spicy. read more

Nice atmosphere good food good service. This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. We had our own booth, which was very comfortable and the waitress was very attentive. The sushi was delicious. The fish was very tender. Their prices are very reasonable. But what we liked a lot was the atmosphere was relaxing. read more

We had a party of six we ordered Ramen and sushi and the hibachi shrimp. The service was very bad . There were only two tables that were occupied plus ours. I asked the server four times and she gave me a glass of ice never received it. Actually my wife had to go and ask the sushi chef for ice. The Ramen was horrible. I would not highly recommend this place. read more

Sage Sushi seems to get better and better every time we visit. If you have a chance and enjoy Sushi I suggest giving it a try!

This place will scratch your sushi itch. The fish is fresh and well-presented in the set. (I'd warn against ordering the uni like I did on the side as it was $20 for two pieces, though.) The interior is peaceful and minimalistic, and the service is straightforward. read more

I'm starting off with a 4 star review as 3 is too low but they have not yet reached a five. First it's a really nice place very well laid out with a Mr Myogi house kind of vibe with the wood accents in and between the booths. The servers are friendly and there are some good menu choices and hopefully I will be back to sample more. The Yellow Tail sashimi was nice and fresh and sliced very well. The Gyoza dumplings were fair as half were just lukewarm and the dipping sauce lacked any real kick. The Chicken Udon noddles was fairly bland not much in the way of any defining taste. The Tan Tan Men was good, lots of noodles and ground pork with a flavorful broth. Since we ordered these two main dishes together was kind of put off that the Udon came out first and 10 minutes more for the Tan Tan. That kind of throws off the dinner vibe some. I'm liking this so far and hope that as they go the experiences will improve. read more

Can't say this is a place I would head back to for sushi. Sat by the kitchen entrance and it was not relaxing and sushi was pretty plain. Had to request the hill as server was not very attentive read more

Sushi and service were both great. We haven't tried the hibachi yet but will be coming back

Everything. Worst service. Worst food. Sat there and didn't get attended and then didn't get our food for over 2 hours. We know good sushi and we can tell when people work hard to service us and this was a horrible experience. Waiter seemed like he just smoked a joint and we were basically the only party in there and still got treated like shit. read more

Hubby and I tried this new Sushi restaurant for the first time last night. We ordered our meal as take out. I ordered the Philadelphia Roll, Shrimp Hibachi with the Ginger Salad. Hubby ordered the California roll, Chicken Hibachi with Ginger salad. To start we would have preferred they packaged our rolls separately, but not a deal breaker. My Philadelphia roll was really good. Nice size pieces of sushi, an even amount of salmon vs cream cheese. They provided a lot of ginger slivers which I truly appreciated. One of my favorite dishes from sushi restaurants is the Ginger Salad. Even though the Ginger Dressing tastes really good, I did not care for it accompanied by what I believe was a Spring Mix salad. With the Ginger dressing it was very bitter to my taste. My Hibachi Shrimp was flavorful, the rice was well cooked and tasty, the shrimps were plum and had great flavor along with the vegetables. Hubby said he enjoyed his meal as well except for the lettuce choice to go along with the Ginger dressing. Over all food was good will try again. Next time will dine in and try some other dishes. read more

A June the Raccoon Review ***** Sage Sushi Lounge***** Over in Sun City in the very corner of the Home Depot shopping center is a brand new little gem, Sage Sushi Lounge. It was a diner before that I visited a handful of times in the past, but it has new life in it now! The space is a decent size, the floor plan now open. The interior design is clean and simple but welcoming. There are 6 enclosed booths in the center with tables all around and of course a pristine white sushi bar you can choose to sit at. The walls are bare but they are just screaming for some beautiful Japanese murals, so I am hopeful they have plans for that in the future, hint hint! It wasn't at all busy on a Saturday night which tells me many people have yet to discover it. We were sat and attended to right away by friendly staff who were happy to have us there. We started our order with ice waters and the tempura shrimp appetizer. They don't quite yet have their beer and wine license, but I was told they would later this month. The Shrimp tempura was very crisp and delicious. Not at all greasy. My only complaint here is I think for the price, the portion size could be a little larger. Next up we had Miso Soup which was hot and satisfying. Finally we shared the Hulk Roll, an avocados lovers dream, the standard Philly Roll and the Rocknroll, my new favorite. The Rocknroll is a spicy tuna, crab, cream cheese and avocado roll that is all wrapped up in spring roll paper and fried crisp. It is outstanding! I'm eager to try the Apollo Beach Roll next time I go there. All the rolls were very fresh and beautifully made. We were pleasantly surprised at the reasonableness of the bill when it arrived and we throughly enjoyed everything about the meal and service. I think this restaurant is a wonderful addition to our area and I hope to see it stay. I am giving it 5 cookies on my cookie rating system! read more

Don't miss out on this great place, tucked into the shopping center corner next to Home Depot. First of all, clean, felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. Servers SO nice. Food - AMAZING! We had the edamame, DELISH! We had the hibachi meals, AWESOME! Taste great, great portions, hubby really enjoyed the ginger salad it comes with. Had Japanese wine both times. This place is in our monthly rotation. read more

The place smells. They don't use sushi rice for sushi... chicken in udon was super dry... no taste at all. They refused to take it off the bill claiming that we ate half of it. My husband just tasted it and stoped right away. Asked if we need a box for it )))) funny....Will not be back. read more

The good is very yummy and even the water tastes good (weird I know but it's true). Our server was very nice. The ambiance was very nice... even the bathroom was done quite well. we will be coming back. read more

Sage Sushi Lounge - Apollo Beach Roll, Incredible Hulk Roll - Japanese Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

We decided to try Sage Sushi Lounge for lunch on Friday. It was a problem to find this business. The shopping center has a sign for Sage far from their location. We circled the entire plaza several times, but couldn't find the business. Finally we spotted the sign from a distance high up on the building in the back corner. Sage really needs to add a sign on or near their door that can be seen at eye level. We ordered a shrimp appetizer and 2 raw sushi rolls. Our favorite sushi places is very tiny and crowded, so the amount of dining space at Sage makes it more likely that we will return and try them again. Prices were OK, but they may be high for Sun City Center. (Yes I know that it is actually in Ruskin just outside SCC.) Nice atmosphere and design, almost too large, parking spaces far from the door, no booze, carryout may be a good option. read more

Sage Sushi Lounge is the new IT place for sushi and food. They have the freshest sushi and the food was scrumptious. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. The interior has a wooden deco theme which gives it a hip vibe. Service was phenomenon and attentive. I ordered a lot more than what what I posted but the food was so good, I forgot. I highly recommend Sage Sushi Lounge if you're looking for good food and nice ambiance. Will definitely be back again. read more

OH MY GOSH!!!!! This is easily the best sushi restaurant I have been to in over 10 years! Started with Ginger Salad, Crab Rangoon (a MUST have) and the Spring Rolls. They were OUTSTANDING! Then I had the RockNRoll roll and my husband had the sushi/sashimi platter. These dishes were simply amazing! We will definitely be regulars at this wonderful establishment. Oh, and our servers' name was Dana - very efficient and personable at the same time. Five out of five stars!!!!! read more

I'd rather eat gas station sushi. Sat at 6:30 reservation. Didn't eat until 8pm and no attention in between. I will never go back. HORRIBLE! Overpriced food, horrible service and you will die trying to get your order. read more

Excellent, very good, pleasant. Needs lunch menus for us old folks. Parking shortage esp. for us older guests. Can we park out back and come in the kitchen door? read more

Shit boba. The food wasn't bad I guess, but they could definitely improve their milk tea. It was more sugary than it was milky or flavorful, and the boba (aka tapioca pearls) was extremely undercooked. If you've ever tried chewing on a metal ball bearing, then that should give you an idea of how undercooked the boba was. Other than that, the server was cool and the food didn't take too long to come out (not bad service), and the ambience was nice. Although, I wish they would put as much effort into their food as they do the ambiance of the place. read more

I hate sushi but my dad talked me into going because he said he heard they had ramen and steak . I was shocked they had alot of options beside sushi for people like me who hate it.

I was so excited to go to a "new" restaurant in the area; what a disappointment! To be clear, we did not order sushi, which may be their specialty, but the hibachi with chicken my husband ordered (bland) and the udon noodles with shrimp & vegetables I ordered (oily) were lacking. The service was good , though. The ambiance?...uninspiring. We probably will not be returning read more

Beautiful ambiance and great service. The food was fresh and nicely portioned! And finally we have boba in the area! The hand crafted wood is very special touch. We will be back :) read more

This place is delicious ! Love the Apollo beach roll and Ribs Will Definitely be back !
