| - If someone from your restaurant actually reads these reviews, well you better sit down....
We live just down the street and the 3 or 4 of us in my family comes here every couple of weeks, and you have gotten worse each and every time!
Salad - So let's see, your salad is small, wilted and the tomatoes were actually frozen on 2 of our salads. It appears the salads are prepped and frozen WITH the dressing already on it.
Combination Tempura - Your combination tempura used to have nice good size pieces of shrimp (usually 2 or 3 pieces), now they are small, you used to have broccoli, or sweet potato or even carrot, not you're using string beans and bok choy and 3 out of the 4 of us couldn't even eat the boy choy it was so stringy like celery. REALLY???? You're that damm cheap???
Hibachi - Talk about a small piece of chicken. I think that chicken breast was 2 MAYBE 3 ounces. I get bigger and more chicken at kfc for their $5 buck lunch! No I'm not over reacting either.
Vegetable, I remember going to hibachi restaurants for years that half your plate was full of nice big pieces of sliced vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, onions etc) including bean sprouts. Now it's about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of vegetables per person. Um hey guys, vegetables are cheap and they're good for you. You don't have to be stingy!!
Rice - FINALLY something GREAT. The rice here is wonderful, no doubt about it. But wait.. $35+ for the geisha special and the only great thing is RICE??? Definitely something wrong with this..
Hibachi Show - The show is VERY hit and miss each visit and we saw every chef do different things, some didn't even do anything except cook, nothin special or anything.
Inappropriate - During your fire show, most of the chefs use a little squeeze water boy that pees out the fire with water. As an adult, it's cute, funny. I love it. Most times there are families and kids at the table and YES this is inappropriate, especially if you're a family restaurant.
Total bill $178 for 4 people (we all had the sea special)
2 days later, I came back in for Happy Hour with a Groupon. I've never had your sushi before or Happy Hour and that's why I bought the groupon. The value was for $30. I sat down at the bar by myself showed the bartender/server my groupon and made sure everything was going to be ok. She said I have to have 2 people. I asked why?? It doesn't change anything, the groupon has a set value for $30. What does it matter who's mouth the food goes into? It doesn't change the value!!! She told me again that's just the way it is. I told her she needs to get a manager then because that makes no sense and I was just in here 2 days ago and spent $178 ...
She said the manager will allow it this time.. (I looked around and the place MAYBE had 15-20 people in there. Glad to see the manager made a good decision and allowed it and didn't lose my business that evening.
I ordered a variety of rolls. They were fine, nothin great by any means and definitely NOT ever worth the price they are asking for their sushi either!!! $7 for a shrimp tempura roll, $15+ for specialty rolls. Um there are a TON of really great all you can eat sushi bars all over the city, Your sushi menu/prices are not at all worth it.
So... I heard that Kanji just down the street took over the old Geisha location on ft apache between russell and sunset and they are getting great reviews on their hibachi oh AND they have All you can eat sushi AND they are getting great reviews.
My next visit will be to Kanji to try them out. If their fried rice is good too (which people seem to be enjoying over there) I will no longer go back to Geisha (not even for a to go order of yummy fried rice). Sorry Geisha you are going down hill and are getting cheap, stingy and over priced for the quality/amount of food and lack of service.
Every visit we've seen less and less people in your restaurant.
BYE.....
