Their online ordering system was easy to navigate, the food was quickly prepared, and both the udon noodle soup and the vegetarian rolls were quire tasty.
However, despite noting on every single item we ordered that we would like all the dishes prepared with a shellfish allergy in mind, the sweet potato rolls were fried in the same grease as shrimp and other shellfish. She noticed that they were tempura sweet potatoes when we opened her box, and called to verify that the restaurant had taken the allergy into consideration. Not only had they not, the person who answered the phone simply said, they "forgot" about it.
They did offer to exchange the sweet potato roll for something else, but given it was takeout that I walked a fair distance to pick up, there was no way for that to work.
If you have no dietary constraints, the food was good and the people friendly, but given that shellfish allergic reactions can be fatal, I'd recommend avoiding it if you have anything similar.

Read moreThis Christmas, we turned to Geisha Sushi Bistro in New Orleans for a comforting Japanese meal, and it didn't disappoint. Starting with the miso soup, it was the warm, familiar taste we expected, setting a comforting tone for the meal.
The grilled salmon salad, while slightly overcooked leading to a bit of dryness, was brightened by a delicious citrus ginger dressing. It was a refreshing part of our order.

Our sushi choice, the Spring Love roll, was typical of Japanese fare but still enjoyable. Each element of our meal felt like a classic representation of Japanese cuisine.
Although the food didn’t particularly wow us, it was a solid, enjoyable experience. The biggest plus was finding Geisha Sushi Bistro open on Christmas Day, making our holiday meal convenient and comforting. Overall, it’s a well-deserved 4 stars for providing a reliable Japanese dining experience in...
Read moreGreat food poor workes. Receptionist is extremely rude And talks how he wants to cause he’s hiding behind the phone. Called to place an order at 08:50 pm on Saturday and was told by him to do it only online even after telling him the site keeps crashing. After it finally worked gathered everything I need for the order (a big one at that) and placed it at 9:40 pm. Keep in mind the website in updated for the place to be CLOSED at 10:00PM. Got a call a couple of minutes later from the same person saying he’s CANCELING my order cause I took “to much time to do it” and they’re closed. when I asked why he didn’t tell me that when we talked earlier when it was to closing he just said “sorry can’t to nothing about it, canceling your order ma’am” and he asked what I’m trying to do by asking that cause there’s nothing to do in a mocking voice when I answered “maybe when someone calls in that time again try to tell him to prevent a misfortune of getting your whole ordered canceled like that he hung up on me mid sentence. Not eating there again...
