Regarding specific dishes, one reviewer found the "Miso soup is a bit water down and lack of tofu/seaweed," but praised the "hamachi carpaccio" as "delicious" with a well-balanced sauce and "thickly cut and not fishy at all" fish. Another found the "tonkotsu ramen is alright," suggesting it "needs some more pork flavoring" in the soup, while noting the "ramen consistency is good and soft." They also described the "pork chasu" as "tender, chewy, and crispy, but a little dry," and the egg as "perfectly soft in the middle and melts in your mouth."

For sushi, customers ordered various nigiri (salmon, yellowtail, scallops) and rolls (lemon, raw-volution, Tokyo). The "nigiri fishes aren’t fishy and the pieces for thickly cut." The "Tokyo roll" was a favorite, described as "crunchy on the outside" with a "flavorful eel sauce" that "really brings out the tuna and cream cheese." Overall, "the sushi is good, but the rice is a bit old and on the drier side."

One reviewer summarized that "Sage Sushi Lounge has alright food, but the decoration is very cute."
