What People Are Saying About Geisha House

Featured Review

Jonathan Baker

Contributor

Matching the other two Hollywood transplants brought by Dolce Group, Geisha House is styled with pop art, a super-dark dining room and a quasi-club feel. The menu is a Japanese melting pot--with good, yet dumbed-down versions of sushi, noodle bowls and all things teriyaki. Cocktails come with an it-club price tag but the massive space and easy-to-like menu make this an ideal group destination. – – High Marks – "The calamari was perfectly prepared and I really enjoyed that we were able to season the appetizer to our liking."

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
Like its sister restaurants, Dolce and Ten Pin Alley, you'd best bring sport your Sunday best or you might get turned away at the door.
Parking:
Street parking is monitored 24 hours---opt instead for the parking deck where the first 2 hours are free.
What to Drink:
Specialty drinks are all over the bev menu--stick with a simple choice, order a classic bottle of cold saki.
Know Before You Go:
True raw fish lovers should steer clear, but those who like the idea of sushi will quite possibly fall in love.
What to Eat:
The Surf and Turf roll--Because who doesn't love sushi that's got steak piled on top of it?!
ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. great customer service, really futuristic and cool decor, creative and delicious sushi
  2. would suggest that management spend less time and money concerning themselves about the decor and spend more on getting a good chef (one that at least can spell sushi).
  3. The third was the fabulous decor and extra comfy booths on the second floor, decked out with tons of pillows!
  4. The atmosphere was nice but too "club" like and they staff didn't seem to know the menu enough, were agitated and seemed to want to socialize with each other than work.
  5. Well, let's start with the positive - the decor was nice.
  6. The decor was very cool, but that was about it.
  7. The Atlanta location of Geisha House is oozing with the same cool vibe, great music and happening lounge area.
  8. Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful waitress!
  9. Once you enter it is breathtaking, The decor is chic and modern with lots of red and the beautiful white couch seating takes me back to glamorous 80's clubs of LA.
  10. The food was amazing and the cocktails were so fun.
  11. This makes the dining experience so much better as I have often found myself getting lost or forgetting where I parked our car in the huge Atlantic Station parking deck.
  12. Geisha House is beautiful, trendy, and romantic at the same time.
  13. We were seated in the upstairs, typically reserved for quieter (smaller) tables, almost as soon as we stepped through the door and were so entranced by the deliciously warm atmosphere and visual we had from above that when the waiter came to take our drin
  14. great place for a date or fun group dinner!

  3. Great cocktails, better sushi!
  4. think Geisha House's strongest suite is the upstairs area, which looks down on the restaurant, as it's really a great chill spot for drinks.

  6. being asian, i was afraid that the sushi wouldn't be too great.
  7. don't know what expectations the previous poster had, but our food was very delicious.
  8. As far as the food; it's good, but it's expensive for what it is.
  9. The specialty sushi rolls were both creative and delicious.
  10. sushi is one of my favorite meals, but it can be really hard to find new things to try.
  11. The server did not ask us how we like it cooked, it came out medium well, perfectly glazed with teriyaki sauce which was nice.
  12. Food quality was inconsistent - sashimi appetizer and Ocean's 3 rice-less roll were good, black cod tasted like it was drenched in maple syrup (yuck), traditional rolls were ok, with the exception that one of them was coated in hardened rice.
  13. Filled with medium filet mignon and lobster, it was really rich and delicious, my boyfriend hates sushi and loved the rolls).
  14. Interior is really cool, and the food was GREAT!
  15. My advice is go to one of the other thousand restaurants in Atlanta that offer sushi and pleasant service!
  16. The dishes we tried that were yummy were the Filet Mignon (cooked to a perfect medium, you could cut it with a fork), and the surf and turf Sushi Roll (delicious!
  17. for the sushi, i loved the frightened geisha with tuna and salmon and the surf and turf, which is slightly expensive but worth it.
  18. My fiance wants me to mention that the food was good, albeit pricey.
  19. server/bartender. The food over all was pretty good, but that may have been the alcohol talking!
  20. the broth of the udon was very good and the sushi were very creative.
  21. probably wouldn't have paid full price for any of it though this is no steak house!)
  22. The food was good but due to the poor service my friends and I will never eat here again!
  23. By the time everyone arrived and we actually got served the food was suprisingly good.

  25. bad and overpriced sushi
  26. Also the Grilled Alaskan King Crab Leg, with Yuzu citrus butter sauce, was delicious.

  40. The sushi rolls were mediocre, like any other place.
  41. Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful waitress!

  44. the sushis are good and with the 50% off you might as well go to geisha house than going to rusans for sushi.
  45. We couldn't even order off the sushi menu, which is what we went there for.
  46. got the cowboy and the pink lady both fantastic dishes.
  47. Geisha house is overpriced and the food is mediocre at best.
  48. With expectation that Geisha House, same restaurant mgt group, would be nice, modern, nice house music with Sophisticate food, we are deeply disappointed.
  49. hate to see such a beautiful restaurant misrepresent Japanese food.

Never Again

by azianbrat

Met up with friends for a birthday dinner on Saturday and was very surprised that the dining area was basically dead. Since we were early, my date and I had drinks at the bar. The bartender was awesome and made great drinks! This was the only plus of the evening. Once we were seated, our server came, but forgot to refill our water, or even ask people for their orders! Our sushi took forever to come out despite it again, being basically dead there. The menu selection was sparse at best. I'll go again for drinks, but nothing more.

Top Notch Sushi

by itpmark

Went for drinks after work with 2 coworkers. Loved the variety of cocktails and sake. I had a martini that was made with sake...very unique and refreshing. We decided to order some sushi while we drank. Really unique "hollywood roll" that was a fried california roll. We also had a soft shelled crab roll that was very fresh. We loved the hip music and fun japanesse movie playing over the bar. I plan on coming back with a date.

Pleasantly Surprised

by intownmike

I recently visited Geisha House with my girlfriend and another couple. We were surprised by the Sexy Sleak interior. We were seated in a spacious booth that overlooked the entire restaurant. The music was a nice mix of old school and modern. We shared an assortment of sushi and sashimi that was very fresh and creative. We also lamb chops and crab legs which were very tender. Overall a hidden jewel in Atlantic Station. We will be back.

Worst Service Ever!!!

by LDOM79

The worst service ever! I ate here Saturday night for a friends birthday party. The service was awful from the minute we walked in the door. The hostess would not let us sit until all 6 people arrived. Five of us were already there and the hostess told the birthday girl to let her know when "she get it together". The hostess then told us we could sit at the bar and wait for the last guest to arrive. About 5 minutes later the hostess came to the bar and said she would go ahead and seat us because other people wanted to sit at the bar. Once seated the service got even worse. The server was nowhere to be found for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. We sat with empty drinks for way too long. The food came out a little at a time. One person in our party did not get her food until 10 minutes after everyone else. The only thing I can think is the server did not care since her tip was added to the ticket since there were 6 of us. The food was good but due to the poor service my friends and I will never eat here again!

  • Pros: Food was ok
  • Cons: Service
