Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the share box as a standout order, described as immense, hot, and plentiful, with the sweet and sour chicken balls, quarter duck, and pork in satay sauce also drawing praise for arriving fresh, hot, and not greasy. Several mention the chicken fried rice staying soft and fluffy even close to closing, and the chicken curry earns a specific mention as excellent, with portions called big. Reviewers on holiday in the area note ordering more than once during their stay, citing good service and fresh, well-seasoned food cooked in clean oil. One reviewer highlights the counter staff's friendliness, including one going out to fetch a customer from a neighboring pub when an order was ready. Against this, one reviewer reports the fish and prawns arrived overly battered, hard, and crunchy with too little fish inside, calling it worse than a previous visit and saying they would not return.

“I LOVE the New Sage. I've tried a fair few Chinese restraunts and I feel genuinely lucky that this is my local one. …”
- Mark Bicknell
“We had 2 meals from here while on holiday. The food and service was very good on both occasions.”
- Tiger Roll
“The best chinese i have had in a long time. Place was clean and the service was amazing. She even come and got me from the pub next door when it was ready. Food was high quality, no grease no oil like you get in some places. Prawns were fresh and cleaned properly all meat was excellent. I highly recommend this Chinese. 👌”
- Tatenda Gweshe
“Food was an utter disgrace! Fish and prawns just covered in batter not enough actual fish between. Too hard and crunchy and oily. Was here a year ago and the fish was softer and less battered and the prawns were bigger but less crunchy and hard. Very disappointed indeed. Will not be coming back and don’t recommend”
