Geisha Japanese Steakhouse — Restaurant in Chesapeake

It seems like there are signs with rules all over the place. No cakes allowed (which I guess I understand). Wouldn’t seat our party of 12 w/reservation on a Monday evening, even though 11 of us were present and waiting 15 mins for the 12th who was lost. Good luck, if you’re trying to have a surprise occasion for someone. They sat all 12 of us on one side of the Hibachi table (one chef), with 3 of us shoved into the end section on one side (6 people on a side normally meant for 3). Fortunately there was no one on the whole other side of the Hibachi, so we just spread out and gave ourselves more room. If you can’t seat more than a certain number comfortably, then please just say that!

Limited seasoning on anything. Except butter. There’s plenty of that. The chef shook the large S&P shakers exactly once onto a humongous pile of veg. Same for the ginormous rice and egg pile. Zero seasoning used on the shrimp or chicken (yes, I was watching).

Fried rice literally thrown onto our plates, falling into drinks, and twice the steaming hot pieces went up my sleeve.

I ordered the Vegetable Hibachi, specifically for the lots of mushrooms I was expecting to enjoy. There was not one mushroom. Also one sliver of carrot. It was essentially a ton of broccoli and onion, with a few pieces of zucchini. I looked at the menu from their website again when I got home, and it specifically mentions mushrooms. (The menu is 7+ years old, even though the website is “current”.) Super disappointing!

Wait service was great, and the ladies were quick with drink refills (mostly water and soda), soups and salads. The busboy/Birthday Gong Player seemed like there was anywhere he’d rather be than there. Soup was tasty, with plenty of flavoring from fried onions. My salad was all hearts of iceberg, but the dressing was good. Not too ginger-forward, but just enough.

Fried Gyoza: I do not recommend! Photo shows the strange cookery, or maybe the pieces were freezer burned (if the photo will post!). One piece clearly broken and burnt, yet served anyway. I guess I should have ordered the steamed option. My mistake.

Decor is so old and worn; crooked cheap “art” on the walls; wooden surfaces are sticky.

This is my third visit here, and this time was just too weird and unforgivably disappointing in too many ways. Sadly, we...

I would never come here again #1 reason the food was soulless no offense to the chef it's the ingredients. I didn't like anything I tasted Not from my plate, not from my family's plate not the rice the salad, shrimp, zucchini, steak, eggs, or the scallops. Not hating just don't like copy and paste generic cooking which this feels One Step Above frozen microwave dinners that were grilled. Staff made me uneasy. I crave different. Out of every review of this place no one has mentioned anything special to separate this from any other Hibachi place. The good, I like the aesthetics of the interior and the food as it is served. Zucchini tasted fresh. That's it. the place is busy so if you think your wait time to sit down was long be prepared to wait even more for your Chef to come serve your food. Our chef was trying to be interactive it's just the group that we were with was depressingly hungry. What they are doing is getting the tables packed as possible because of high demand and there's only one stove top for 8 chairs at our table. I don't blame them they probably don't have a choice but to cram strangers together then wait for the entire table to clear out before accepting more customers and I tell you people come here by the groups. I have never seen so many people unhappy waiting on food sitting in front of me it's a Vibe killer. I believe the sake is potato based not rice. It matters one tastes like tequila the other taste like vodka. I am a huge fan of sushi. had to drown my shrimp tempura in soy sauce just to eat it. Personally hibachi is the same everywhere around here in the 757, same grill same show maybe you'll get a chef that's more Interactive. Same ridiculously large portions of food for one plate that is not advised to be shared. It's a $30 meal easily after state & city tax gratuity if you choose and you get three portions for one person. It's not about the price but for that price range I expect special... anything. here you're paying for a generic experience. Go ahead and get you some...

Terrible service, we arrived at 830pm and yes that gives us about an hour to eat. They sat us down quick but didn’t give us a menu, The waitress came over asking what would we like to drink, again no menu so she grabbed us some and before we could open it asked again what would we like to drink I kindly asked can we have some time, she left and within a minute came right back, we rushed and just ordered whatever to drink then asked what did we want to eat, told her we needed some time to look at the menu, she left and yet did it again rushing us to order. Now I’m getting annoyed because I hate feeling rushed. So finally we made an order, my kids placed an order and me and my husband asked for the deluxe which is steak and shrimp, my husband asked for sirloin bt then requested filet mignon and a side of shrimp. Since the shrimp was 8 pc me and my husband requested to split it. When the cook came out he had a lot going on but eventually got to our shrimp which he gave all to me, and then split the steak. All he asked was how did we want our steak. So when we got the check impatient waitress rung us up for 2x deluxe special cool side of shrimp cool but ordered two filet mignon. Where the hell did we asked for two sides smh. So ask I try to tell the waitress that she got our order wrong as I’m talking to her she walks away. We got the food I’ll pay for it but instead of her rushing someone and writing the order down the right way the manager then questioned me why I didn’t put my order in with the cook. Wrong, why didn’t your waitress write down the right order, I get it u close at a certain time but you not about to fuss with me cause your workers rushing. So then I said don’t worry about it bc one thing is I can pay for my order, you won’t get my money again and I will be writing a review. So because your waitresses can’t take orders right it’s the customers fault cool! She fussed at me telling me not to write a review. I will what I please. Tell your waitress to slow down,...
