Geisha Sushi

I've eaten here a total of 4 times after moving to Denham Springs. Ironically, after a terrible experience at a nearby restaurant, Geisha was suggested to me by an employee at another shop. The staff is really nice and everything is clean and lovely. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. I want more than anything to give a really stellar review on just those qualities.

The food however is not good. Now, I'll say I order raw fish and nigiri more often than cooked dishes (no remarks on those) and the toppings range from palatable to weirdly mushy and smelling of too much vinegar or lime especially their whiter fleshed fish but even their salmon and tuna at times.

But the thing I really cannot stand is their sushi rice and that's the saddest part to me. Maybe the rice is better in their rolls which are spicy-mayo heavy or covered in sauces, fried, what have you. But on regular rolls and with their nigiri or (shudder) chirashi it's 1. Hard (either undercooked or left out and uncovered too long and dried out) and 2. Under or overflavored (vinegar is either too little or too much).

They use some kind of chicken broth for their clwar soup which is just heavy and a little sad but a thousand times better than their miso soup with its inconsistent hunks of all day tofu and seaweed.

I love Japanese food and I don't ask for much from it but I've tried eating at Geisha twice for lunch and twice for dinner two days on the weekend and two days during the week and given these main issues are included in every dish I order (fish, rice, soup) there's no way I can keep doing it. I have to make the trip back to Baton Rouge or all the way to Kenner and I wish it wasn't so. Still, 4 stars because it's clean, nice staff, great pricing.

Excellent sushi special, all this plus soup and salad for only $10. I had the spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls with the meal. Pan fried pork gyoza and a nicely fried shrimp tempura. Soup was on point as well as the salad.

Have been here 3 times and it gets better EVERY, SINGLE, TIME. The Marilyn Roll is everything, we live in Baton Rouge but make it a point to not soil our mouths with other sushi because we compare it to Geisha and it always falls short.

Geisha. Honestly wish I would have came here sooner. Decided to finally eat here and I absolutely loved it. Nice clean place, a little small and tight but that's ok the food was wonderful. And I would definitely recommend the geisha roll. They even have some good food for children.

Best sushi place I've been to in yeaaaarsss!

Sake and sushi are both really good and cheap, and the quality of the rice and fish are also great.

The server we had was wonderful. I don't remember her name, but she was really nice. Probably one of the best servers I've had in Baton Rouge too.

I don't usually give five stars, but this place deserves it.
