Geisha Wok And Noodle Bar's Reviews

1	This place is a disaster, without doubt one of the worst meals I have ever had, ever ! Everything about the evening was shocking, service, music, food, prices, most of the wine list unavailable, and did I mention the prices !! The restaurant was grubby. I thought I was in La Colombe when the bill eventually arrived. A complete disaster from start to finish. NEVER AGAIN. They now seem to be closed for lunch, can't see it lasting much longer. Franza : June 23, 2009
2	I was not at all impressed. Poor service, tiny portions and totally over priced. Definitely wouldn't recommend it. David : June 05, 2009
3	A few friends and I went to Geisha last Friday evening for the advertised sushi special, only to be told that it had ended. We decided to stay, but were shocked at the terrible service. None of the wines on the menu that we asked for were available and when we questioned the waitress about what was available we got a stroppy answer. Our meals did not arrive at the same time. In fact one of the meals arrived about 20 minutes later. Overall, it was a very unpleasant dining experience. Shelly : June 04, 2009
4	60 rand for a portion of 3 (THREE) small dumplings, served with NO sauce.... sad.... the stir-fry was very very tasty but yeah too small... Really guys, gotta make a plan. PR and good intentions are just not enough... Dee : May 29, 2009
5	Don't be enticed by Geishas current listing on the 'restaurant specials'section. Last nights waiter told us specials finished two weeks ago. Geisha or Food 24's mistake? Great decor, tasty looking menu ( carbon copy of Wagamamma, the great, well priced noodle bars in London) so it looked promising... We ordered two starters - chicken pot stickers OK but stodgy. prawn toasts were spot on - excellent. Pad Thai was tasty but TINY, even the large size. The chicken curry (also tiny) came without rice (shame the waiter didn't tell us) Rice then took ages so the fairly average curry was virtually cold (odd that a rice/noodle restauant doesn't have rice ready) Also teeny portion - so guess what? - we had to order more. All in all not brilliant. Pretty useless service and not cheap - close to 500 bucks for two starters, two mains and four glasses of wine. Won't be hurrying back, but seems the owners aren't bothered. Shame - CT could do with a fantastic noodle bar. Storm : May 28, 2009
6	I went to Geisha and wasn't impressed at all. So overpriced for a very mediocre place. I will NEVER EVER go back!! Malcolm : May 28, 2009
7	I think that the only time Geisha is worth visiting is for their half price sushi and dim sum specials. Service is not great and had to twice ask for my dim sum to be brought to me while it was standing around getting cold. But then I forgeot that Conrad G (the owner) is far to busy to see how his places runs. My experience at Sundance Coffee Shop was the same. Vic : May 27, 2009
8	Despite reading contrary reviews about this restaurant, my wife and I decided to give it a go. My PA phoned and informed Neil that it was our wedding anniversary and that we wanted an intimate table, away from the kitchen, toilets and door. Neil promised her he "would make their evening special". It was anything but special!! We were seated right at the front door with cold blasts of air hitting us every time the door was opened. The service was also atrocious. I ordered a tomato cocktail which was fermenting when it arrived. I sent it back and ordered a fresh squeezed apple juice, which I enjoyed. On ordering a second one, they informed me they had no more apples and I had to wait while they went to the local greengrocer to purchase some more. No anniversary wishes, no feedback from the comments I made on the back of the bill, together with exorbitant prices for the measly portions one receives, makes Geisha a definite no-go on my list.

9	Went for a friends birthday. Our waitress was great but the kitchen was terribly slow. Sat down at 8pm and got main course at 10pm. When it eventually did come it was a sparrows sized portion. My piece of tuna was gone in 2 mouthfuls. My husband and I discussed stopping by McDonalds on the way home. Terrible value for money. melanie : May 18, 2009
10	Went to Geisha, had a dish of greasy noodles. Froze in the wind, terrible music which assaulted my ears. Won't go back, give it a miss. Marion : May 15, 2009
11	I agree! Never going back! What an utter waste of an evening! Barbara : May 10, 2009
12	Acceptable food for airlines , not good enough for Cape Town.. Never again. Anthony : May 09, 2009
13	Had a much-anticipated dinner at Geisha last night - no tuna or salmon available!! Mr Gallagher has taken his eye off the ball. I will not be going back. Rene : May 07, 2009
14	Went for lunch today. Had bowls of beef noodles that were tasty, but not out of this world. Felt over-priced and kinda sad and empty. Also - the toilet's broken. Sam : May 06, 2009
15	Really not impressed, totally overpriced and just didn't have a good vibe. Definitely won't go back again. Tim : May 06, 2009
16	Food is ok, but how complex can you get with soup and noodles? Quite pricey, especially for locals, so unless you have had your annual bonus, check out the cost of a starter, main course and desert and bottle before you order, I think however you need to consider you are also paying for stylish restaurant, nice d?r and good vibe. Jason : May 01, 2009
17	Had to wait 30mins for a glass of wine which was only 1/3 full and @R45 a glass...that was the cheapest red.There was a blunder with the mains order.We were overcharged on the bill and when we queried it the waitron argued. The service system was disorganised but well done to the kitchen staff....it's a pity the rest of the staff couldn't back them up.The food was better than the experience.I won't be going back.... Gavin : May 01, 2009
18	We ate there last night, the food really was superb really creative and different. It is was full of beautiful girls and has to be the most stylish spot in Cape Town. Can't wait to go back. mike : April 03, 2009
19	I will not go back to this place! I wanted to try something new but it was really not worth it. It's badly organised and the food was really overpriced. Mark : April 02, 2009
20	Had sushi and cocktails was really nice - both was on 1/2 price special between 5 and 7. Excellent value for money. Roy : March 25, 2009
21	By far still one of my favourite CT eating out places... The food is flavoursome and tastes distinct...each bit soul-filling. Service efficient and knowledgeable! I can't wait for them to come to Josie :) Varushka : March 24, 2009
22	Geisha attracted us to the restaurant by advertising a January special on email. When we got there, they had changed their mind about even having a special. It was absolutely unacceptable that they did not honour it. It was a very disappointing experience. We will not be returning. Varusha : February 03, 2009
23	I would like to commend Geisha on a fabulous evening last Friday, the food, service and vibe were outstanding! The change of venue has definitely worked for you. We will be back again soon! Kirst : January 13, 2009
24	Really bad service, the wrong dishes were served and our bill was incorrect. The owner was drinking at the bar not taking notice of loosing customers.The restaurant very noisy. geoffrey : January 02, 2009
