I will start this out by saying that the food was really good... we ALL agreed. The only reason we gave it 4 stars is because there was 1 worker & we felt bad for him. He was efficient in his serving, but he did look a little tired after everything. The ambiance was beautiful. They had a cloudy ceiling with flashing lights & pretty walls. If I come back to Columbia, I will be back. read more

The place is really cute. It would be a nice lunch date spot. We went for lunch on a Tuesday. It felt a little understaffed. We got the QP Scallop Hand Roll and the Jumbo Tuna roll with the Yummy topping. The food was good, large portions, but there was a lot mayonnaise. The service was okay. It just felt like a college kid rushing around. read more

Geisha has some of the best sushi in Columbia. While the rolls can be a bit pricey, the lunch special makes it worth it. They recently increased the size of the special rolls, so it's a pretty good portion for the price. The food can take a while to come out, and the service is a little slow, but it's consistently solid, and the atmosphere is really nice. I'll definitely be returning. read more

I come here every time I come to town for business. It is amazing how good their sushi is. My go to are the Drunken fish w/OMG2 topping and a Spider role W/Mizzou topping read more

New menu is terrible . Used to love coming here but we won't anymore, we have been coming here for a few years monthly for work lunches.

So we've been here several times now, and the food has always been good quality. The portion sizes seem to be decreasing though, unfortunately. Some of our rolls would previously have 8 pieces, and now they have 6. Service has been great overall. We love getting chef's choice sashimi/sushi sets, and this place seems to just have the sets of specific fish. - Salmon set (4/5): A bit pricey for what you get. But I love salmon, and this has been our go to. It comes with 4 salmon nigiri, 5 salmon sashimi (small pieces), salmon roll (6 pieces). Delicious just wish it was bigger portion for the price. - White tiger (4/5): This is one of my favorite rolls. So much flavor, always delicious. Definitely our go to roll. Love the crunch, the fish on top, the sauces. - Yellowtail roll (4/5): Very tasty, great flavor. Just a small amount of fish in each piece. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Tried the "set b" with salmon roll and shrimp tempura roll. All good, nothing amazing. Service was prompt and friendly. Cool vibe. We'll come back if we get a chance. read more

Sushi was very fresh and properly made. The drinks tasted really good and had just the right amount of alcohol and the server was very present throughout the whole dinner. I honestly was surprised how affordable everything was. The overall feel of the restaurant is very chill and kind of homey. Would recommend this to any sushi lover. read more

This place is delicious! The caterpillar roll from rolls on the grill segment is delicious. Shrimp tempura roll was very good as well. I also love the consistency of their eel sauce, its not super thick like other places which makes it easy to dip and coat your roll. My photo shows the roll options from top of the boat to the other side of the photo. If that makes sense haha. The spicy roll is the white with red and that was good although I am not a fan of the spice. That was my friends choice. Overall great choices and options, reasonable priced. read more

It was busy for a Tuesday evening. Service was good. Was greeted promptly and food came out quickly. We had the tempura shrimp, green monster roll and a shrimp tempura roll. All were really good. The green monster roll was a little difficult yo eat, it fell apart but all of it was very tasty and filling. I'd recommend. read more

I quite enjoyed Geisha! A classic hole in the wall, this place had cute decorations and a very good "Sushi Bar" feel. The sushi was delicious, no complaints there. Drinks were fairly priced and the dessert that my friend ordered was very appealing to the eye. I imagine that this was just a one-off thing, but it seemed as though they might have been training a new server or two. Our table was pretty wet when we sat down and we had to ask to have it wipes or even for a napkin. We went through like three different servers who didn't really know the answers to some of our questions, so overall that was just a little strange. But it didn't ruin the experience. I recommend for the students in COMO! read more

Unfortunately with their new menu changes I will not be returning after eating here for 10 years. They've removed their entire sushi menu & replaced it with a "mix and match" option which is both much more expense and makes it impossible to order our favorite rolls. Rolls are bigger but, because their serving plates aren't, if you get a topping only half of the roll is covered (despite paying a hefty up-charge for what is typically just a mixture of sauces). Very disappointing to see a well-established Columbia restaurant start to take a turn for the worst. read more

SO YUMMY! Loved the food and had great service. Came in for lunch and got one of the sushi specials. So worth it!

This place is just plain disgusting, would give no stars if possible. Went for lunch and the restaurant was basically empty yet there was still trash and food on the table and booth. The sushi was TERRIBLE. Poorly cut, falling apart, rice was dry/old and also way too much rice. The shrimp tempura roll was missing avocado and eel sauce. The tonkatsu steak was the only thing that was edible. Supermarket sushi tasted better than this. Waste of money. The sushi chef was probably just distracted flirting with the waitress. read more

While on a business trip, I stayed at the tiger hotel. The Geisha Sushi Bar is right around the corner from the hotel. This place is super chill, and the staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. The soju, sushi, and dumplings are phenomenal. It wasn't too busy and you don't need a reservation. Great vibes. read more

Geisha Sushi Bar - Sushi Boat - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

The sushi part of the menu was basically just California rolls with various toppings. Lots on the menu, but very little variety. It also just did not taste great. The service was abysmally slow and the waiter was inattentive, and I am not someone who generally notes slow service, especially if I have only been there once. I wanted an appetizer as part of my meal, so I ordered it when we ordered our entree (which it took more than 25 minutes for someone to come to our table, so we ordered as soon as someone came over.) I have food allergies, so I asked if what I wanted had any sesame in it. She did not appear until 35 minutes later with our food, and then she told me the appetizer did have sesame. Due to how long we had already been there, I did not try to order anything else and left hungry. The restaurant is pretty inside and the boat coming out with smoke is cool, I guess. They also put all the sushi on the boat together, so that was disappointing since the other roll had sesame and I had told them I was allergic. read more

Fresh fish and excellent tasting sushi. There's a separate bowl to top the sushi chefs. They got twice the tip as my servers. The white tiger roll with spicy salmon was to die for. Freshest tuna and excellent smoked unagi nigiri. I will be back. Maybe next time have more sake, only hot sake here? read more

As someone who dines out often and seeks for the best sushi in the area of travel, I confidently write this review as a subject matter expert! Geisha Sushi was across the street from Tiger Hotel and knowingly we want a few cocktails this walking distance restaurant was perfect! We arrived to this quaint place at 8pm on a Tuesday. We were immediately greeted and told to sit wherever we wanted. Their booths are extremely spacious and there was only two of us. We chose one and cuddled to the corner ready to review the selection. We had a selection....for sure! Let's start with drinks, wow! A wonderful array of beers from domestic to locals. My husband chose the Honey Wheat IPA beer and said it was delicious! I chose the German Riesling and much to my surprise, it was light, crisp and a hint of sweet. What was the best part of the drink menu? The prices! $3.50 for the beer and $5 for the wine?! That's a steal compared to the national average! Next time I'll grab the bottle! Moving to the food, we came to conquer the sushi menu. We ordered the White Tiger roll 1st and it was beyond good! The presentation on the dry ice boat was unique and a show stopper! We also ordered the salmon sashimi set and the fish was extremely fresh! Great portions and perfect for 2 hungry people! Lauren was our server and she was wonderful! She spent time getting to know us, helped my husband with his beer selection and was very attentive! She was down the earth, sweet disposition and wonderful to get to know! They had great music playing! I wish they would have stayed open after 9pm! They closed and we left wanting more! I would recommend extending their hours for those that are late dining. We would have returned the 2nd night but our prior commitments only allowed us to eat at 8:30pm and we didn't want to rush in order to close at 9. Thank you for a delicious dinner and dining experience! read more

So the food here is... INCREDIBLE. What we got to try of it. We were here for an hour and fifteen minutes and only received most of our drinks and ONE of the two appetizers we ordered. We put our full order in almost immediately when we arrived. They were very busy, and I understand that, but the server chose to take it out on her tables. She forgot to get our Diet Coke so we tried reminding her for it after nearly an hour had past and she turned around and borderline snapped at us saying "I'm really busy right now". No apologies or anything. We had to ask for plates, for napkins, for more water. The next time she came by she only said "your sushi will be out soon", but at that point we hadn't received our second appetizer, our salads, or had the opportunity to order more drinks. We mentioned it to her and she snapped at us, remarking again how busy she was. We finally asked for her to get the manager and she snapped back that there was no manager in. After that she only refilled our water. It almost felt like she was punishing us after that and although there was plenty of time for our food to have come out, it never did. After nearly an hour and a half, we gave up. I really enjoyed the ambiance, the one appetizer we had was DELICIOUS (monkey brain). Because of that, I'm excited to try this place again in the future, but I won't stay if it's the waitress we had tonight. Here's to hopefully a better experience next time. read more

This place had me when I saw a photo of the Monkey Brain which I ordered when I was there and it was as good as the picture showed. I had it made with the fried avocado and filled with spicy tuna (you had the option to get mushroom instead or a mix but I went with all avocado). There wasn't that much of a selection of nigiri which was a little disappointing. The green tea I ordered was lukewarm and cost $3.50... read more

Expensive, but the quality is great. I like to go here if I want to treat myself to great-for-the-Midwest sushi and "monkey brains."

Delicious food with kind and courteous staff. One of our fav locations in Columbia. Everything was so good.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got takeout from this restaurant today. Given COVID, I called in my order for pickup. They took my order quickly and it was ready when I arrived about 15 minutes or less later. I ordered the crazy roll (delicious and definitely my fave, but spicy!), California roll, and crunch roll as well as a side salad. All rolls we're huge and all 3 were so delicious! They made sure to include soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi with the order. The pickup was quick and easy. About half the tables were full, about consistent with covid. There were some that weren't clean when I walked in but I'm not sure of the situation. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and will be back next time I'm in town! read more

First off, Geisha Sushi and Ramen got me fucked up. How are you gonna rebrand yourself as a sushi AND ramen restaurant but not have a single ramen on your menu. Second of all, where do you get your balls asking me to move to a different table IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MEAL?!? Yes, I was asked to move to a different table to accommodate a group of 7 WHITE COLLEGE STUDENTS (2 of which did not have on masks when they entered the restaurant) when there were 3 open tables directly in front of me. Had I allowed them to move me, social distancing would've been impossible. 0/5 stars would not recommend. read more

I was visiting Columbia and met with a friend of mine at Geisha just before Christmas. I was greeted by the hostess and told to have a seat in the front. It took 10-15 minutes for a server to greet me and ask for my drink order while I waited for my friend. Within this span of time, another party left their table because I'm assuming they were not being helped promptly. My friend and I ordered our sushi as well as the vegetable gyoza to start. My friend has dietary restrictions against eating pork and when the gyoza arrived at our table, it appeared to have pork inside. After asking the table next to us whether they too thought the gyoza looked to contain pork, we brought it up to the server and she assured us in an unfriendly, unconvincing way that the gyoza did not have pork in it. The service was probably the poorest service I've had in quite a while, and I was bummed to spend my visit in Columbia this way. The sushi was pretty good, but it was difficult to enjoy the meal with the unwelcoming atmosphere. There are definitely better sushi options in Como. read more
