    Seafood platter
    Ashley J.

    My boyfriend has been comparing this place to "Benihannas" which is VERY similar. The entertainment was okay. I got the seafood platter. Everything on my plate was just about well overcooked. Rare steaks were just medium well. Very disappointed.

    This was my first time at Simon's and my first experience with hibachi cooking. I loved it! The food was very good and reasonably priced. We were about 5 minutes early for our reservation and had drinks (also reasonably priced) at the bar. Liked the decor. Great show by our chef. I've attached photos as you have to "see it to believe it". Looking forward to going back soon for the tapas side of the place.

    Food is ok but the service is too slow- literally fell in asleep during waiting. And you will leave the place smelling like Hibachi!

    The most delicious hibachi food I ever ate! I tried other hibachi restaurants but I picked Simons as my most favorite of all.

    Not really a sushi place. Red Lobster is better for seafood. Waiters are less than adequate.

    One of my favorite Japanese places EVER!! The food there is great, I normally order a bento box…read more(delicious) or any of their sushi (all great.) Honestly, I believe anything you try here will be very yummy. There's few restaurants that have great food AND an amazing ambiance, but I'm happy to say that Ichiro is absolutely one of those rare places! It's got a super nice vibe, and all of the servers are great! I've STILL never tried the hibachi there, but when I do, I have no doubt it will be great! It always looks like fun. If you're looking for Asian food in Geneva, this place is perfect! (If you are looking for MORE perfect Asian food, check out my review of "Happy India" which is very near.

    First visit was in 2018, then 2020, now in 2026 with a sadly, slightly different experience…read more Walking in we were quickly greeted and seated. I recall the soft-shell crab appetizer being one of my favorites from my previous visits and I had to opt in for it. I found this time around; the soft-shell crab was of a smaller size and clumsily presented. As for the Blue Mango Tuna, these were tasty and we had no complaints there. For entrees, the girlfriend opted in for the Teriyaki Steak Bento Box. The steak was tender, and a huge highlight was the tempura. Hot, crispy and perfectly fried. As for my Sushi Deluxe, I was a bit disappointed. The salmon tasted off, and as much as I don't personally like tilapia, even by tilapia standards, these weren't good. I did however enjoy the yellowtail since it was a cut from the belly section and the sweet shrimp (a la carte). We found our server to be on the dull side. He came off as if he hasn't gotten sleep in a few days and didn't seem too happy to be there. This is just our observation and definitely affected our entire revisit to a favorite restaurant of mine. We can also overhear a man at the host stand teaching a young girl mathematics and can overhear her frustration with it. Our Asian Sandwich came with no tempura flakes on top which states it does on the menu. This wasn't the great experience I've had over the years, and I'm on the fence whether to return or just make the drive to Rochester and visit one of the Japanese restaurants there.

    I tried the sweet potato zang zang special bubble tea. I thought it was really good. You have to…read moremix the paste smeared on the outside of the cup into the milk but once it was mixed in, it was a nice flavour and not too sweet. The pearls were chewy and cooked well. There are lots of drinks on the menu and most of them can be made with non-dairy milk and with the sweetness and ice levels adjusted. I had no choice but to visit them during BU move-in weekend which was the only weekend I was in Vestal and it was, as I expected, very busy. I don't usually like to order online but I did this time to save some time and that was definitely a smart move because the line was very long. I was frustrated though because I saw what I was pretty sure was my drink get prepared and set on the counter and then sit there for like 5 minutes because there was no one attending to the online order drinks. When someone made a drink for a customer that had ordered in person they would hand that drink to the customer and then immediately run back to making the next order so I couldn't ask anyone because they were always busy. I mean, it's fair that they were working hard to keep up with orders but I just wanted someone to take 5 seconds to hand me my drink.
