The blancmanger is creamy coconut cool and refreshing with a touch of dk chocolate. ”

Red bean, green tea and vanilla mochi had a heavenly texture, unlike anything I'd ever had before for dessert. ”

We ordered an expensive bottle of wine but were scammed into paying for the most expensive bottle of wine on the menu. ”

We had a great sake tasting with 3 different high grade sakes and some decent cocktails. ”

geisha is my afternoon spot i go there anytime i possible can because the food is amazing, It is a very relaxing spot after work were you can choose from a large filling meal or just a nice cup of warm tea. ”

The Kobe beef is tasty, but the amount of food is so small you'll want to grab a slice afterward like we did. ”

Served simply with a few mushrooms and a couple of scallions - it is my favorite japanese dish in all of manhattan. ”

Perfect piece of fish - cooked rare for perfect flavor - excellent balance of sweet tanginess in the miso. ”

get to try the sushi but the main courses sounded too good. ”
- “
dream about it and being a lobster lover, find myself eating up with the noodles which make the lobster more of an unnecesary, yet delicious accesory. ”
- “
Boring food that's overpriced for what's served. ”
- “
you can't get great dishes like these in other restaurants. ”

The saketinis were expertly mixed, the crab salad memorable, and the service was wonderful. ”

Yes, it Sounds ghoulish, but this is simply the most divine slice of fish you will ever sink your fangs into. ”

The food was subpar, although the cocktails were good. ”

Grilled lamb, crispy tart of zucchini, yellow squash, tomato confit, goat cheese, caramelized onions, natural lamb jus - PERFECT! ”

Yes the crowd can get annoying and the servers don't always know what they are serving exactly, but the food has been right-on all three times I have been there. ”
- “
the best comfort food. ”
- “
The food was great in the back, but the bartender was such a complete moron without any sense of decency that I will not ever patronize this establishment again. ”

It's a really nice restaurant with really good food without trying too hard to be 'trendy'. ”

Roasted Maine Lobster, udon noodles, wild mushrooms, leeks, asparagus tips, pea shoots, black truffles - very good, they were generous w/ the lobster but I did feel like the dish was heavy and slightly greasy. ”

Great service, amazing food, perfect athmosphere ”

I've been to Geisha twice and both times the food was excellent! ”

had the shrimp on a skewer appetizer, which was quite good. ”

It was a total rip off and, on top of that, the food was disappointing. ”
- “
The quality and freshness of the sushi was great. ”
- “
The food was great but not enough to buffer the trashy crowd! ”

The amazing sushi we had a couple of appetizers, which were unreal. ”

Of course, many of us have had bad sushi experiences where the fish quality was low grade and our stomaches would be turning when we got home. ”
- “
very fresh and delicious plate after plate - try the martini glass app- yum! ”
- “
everything i had was great--the shrimp skewers were tasty as were the fried oysters and the lobster with udon noodles was excellent! ”
- “
Amazing culinary experience (sans sushi). ”
- “
The mussels appetizer and the halibut with curried spinach were both yummy, but I enjoyed the chef's plate the most (sushi and sashimi, you can pick $50, $75, $100 or more). ”

But have you ever had a mediocre sushi experience? ”

The service was lovely, the space is tres chic and the food, which is what this should be about, is delicious. ”

The Lobster with noodles is amazing. ”

However the second time I went the food was great. ”
- “
the hostess was professional & fun but the server & food runner did NOT qualify for the price i paid. ”

The sushi rolls are original in concept, but I think they forgot the ingredients-I'll give Geisha kudos for serving VERY fresh fish, but $18 for just fresh isn't worth it. ”
- “
From the mouth-watering sushi, to the unique decor, Geisha is a new favorite Japanese in an area that lacks many others worth mentioning. ”

The evening continued with poor service, hit-and-miss food and an unbelievably pretentious crowd. ”

buttery thick udon noodles in a broth with perfect fresh little veggies. ”
- “
our lobster was over-cooked and the grilled chicken salad was really bad. ”

This is a must go to place for fresh sushi. ”

The sushi was dry, the lobster was tough, the chicken salad way too salty! ”

anyway, it is too difficult for me to illustrate in words how great this food is. ”
- “
The fried oysters in spicy dipping sauce is divine and the tar tar tasting is exquisite. ”

had the white tuna tartar, which was delicious, and my mother had the special lobster appetizer. ”

The sauces that the chef create are so simplistic, yet amazing and compliment the super fresh fish. ”

Anything nutty is delicious, I've had them all! ”
- “
My fave entress is the miso glazed salmon which is a slice of heaven. ”
- “
love the rice pudding dish - its like little blintzes with rice pudding inside. ”
