  • If you're looking for some Vietnamese cuisine near Chandler Blvd & Rural Rd, take your first immediately available u-turn and head to Pho Dalat. My review is based on Sage being a restaurant Sage had so much potential. Its located near Cafe Krishna on the southeast corner of Rural and Chandler. A perfect location to get the Intel crowd for lunch. Sage is housed in what used to be a few failed bars, but it has been completely remodeled. There are garage doors ala Postino style that open out to the front. The patio has been expanded with more contemporary furniture, but my compliments stop there. Walking in, there's a dart machine, golden tee, and jukebox to the right. In the middle of the restaurant is a pool table. There's large rectangular hightops and a few low tops. A weird mix? Wait until you look over and see a couch meant for a patio that is cream colored with brown stripes. The large built in seating on the side is in red. The floor is a dark exposed concrete. The walls are this odd green/blue tinge that reminded me of avatar skin. We also were listening to some country music, which turned to hip hop, which turned to some top 40. To start off, we ordered tea. Why is this important? They ran out of tea. We ordered the pork spring rolls. They were nice size, but the peanut sauce came in a plastic cup. The pork was super dry, and I had to lace a lot of sauce on it. The spring rolls were lacking something crisp. It could've used more mint. We got the Sage House Special and Rare Steak Pho. The broth was a murky brown that was too sweet with a very salty undertone. I think the chef added too much salt so tried to balance with sugar. Then added too much sugar and added more salt. Rinse and repeat. The meat was very well done and chewy. The rice noodles were undercooked. The worse part was after we were done. I stared at the middle of the table, and I didn't say anything for a few minutes, I was trying to decide if I had to throw up or not. The only redeeming quality of the place was the staff. They were attentive and friendly. Sage has the location... and it might be a great bar ... but when it comes to food, I could put something better together with a package of instant pho and some beef. Drop the Vietnamese Cuisine off the name and add on Asian Fusion, and we'll all forgive the food.
