not a happy customer...
Cafe Sage is a very frustrating experience. i ordered delivery today and it has taken over an hour! and i live across the street. i called to check on my order 3 times and then i was told it was canceled! i am so frustrated and only ordered from there as i thought it would be quick! the food is not great btw and not going there or ordering again. Bennie's thai around the corner is much better...food, staff, and quick delivery.

Lunch Delivery is a Joke
If they are at all busy, expect cold food delivered in over an hour. One would think they would hire more delivery people if demand warrants it. Only order before 12:00pm, or after 1:00pm for lunch.

Excellent Find in the Financial District
It's somewhat difficult to find a decent restaurant in the Financial District that is both a good meal and a good price. Cafe Sage is both. I went in the early evening. Cafe Sage was empty. My guest and I ordered soup, the Tom Ka Koong. It wasn't quite hot enough, but it was delicious with fresh lemongrass and basil. The shrimps (2) were large. An appetizer of fried mini pork & leek dumplings was next. Not greasy, a decent size portion, and quite tasty with a side of hot chili sauce. For entrees, we chose the kai kra prow & mudsa mun nuur. Both came hot and plentiful. The vegetables on the kra prow were fresh and delicious. The mun nuur was perfectly balanced between the curry and coconut milk. However, it could have had a few more potato chunks (only 2 in the dish, but plenty of beef!) One minor drawback is that rice is not included with your entree. A $1.00 charge for rice will be added to your bill, and the portion of rice is not enough to go with the large entrees. The service was excellent. The water glasses were never more than half empty. But then again, we were the only patrons in the restaurant for most of our meal. The atmosphere is OK, nothing special, but I still would rather have excellent food to having a prettier restaurant. All in all, Cafe Sage is an excellent choice for a fine meal. I can't speak for their express lunches, but, express lunches are just that, pre-made dishes that are there to speed you through the restaurant without wasting your entire lunch break. The menu is always available as an alternative and from what I ate during my visit, I was impressed. Can't wait to go back!

its oooook!
Express lunches sound cheap, but tiny portions. This food is not prepared fresh, its ready at the counter, and they just serve it to you. They seem to NOT want to make anything from the menu..if you insist you will wait a while for it. Service is friend, but not very helpful. Food tastes decent, fairly accurate.

Absolutely delicious!
I have been to Cafe Sage 4 or 5 times recently. The food is delicious and I and my party have never had even a mediocre meal there. The only thing one has to overlook is that the place is usually cold in the winter and hot in the summer....and the best thing I can say about the furniture is that it is serviceable. However, the wait staff is very polite and helpful. But the food! That makes it all worth it. Go and enjoy.

This is the best thai food in the financial district by far!! I have tried them all, but this place can hang w/ the best of them in all nyc. I will continue eating here as long as I live here in ny.

Great food, slow delivery service
The food is very good, authentic, at reasonable prices, and the employees who take my order are pleasant when I call. My one and only concern is the extreme slow delivery time. If they say it will take 30 minutes, plan on adding an extra 30 to 45 minutes more for your dinner to delivered. Hopefully they will get it right some day.
