Geisha had a nice and cozy ambiance but I felt under-dressed with its posh interiors--yeah it was one of those days where I think I need to update my closet. Given that it was a little early, we were seated right away and offered menus.
We started with the Geisha Carpaccio (PHP 295) The tuna and salmon were fresh with a little earthy taste from the olive oil. I would want another plate of this if I can still manage.
The Spicy Tuna Crisps (PHP 180) were deliciously seasoned and the crisps added a nice crunch texture as you pop the entire thing in your mouth.
Yna had the "un-chicken" yakitori (PHP 360) which was a mock chicken (veggie meat), served with vegetables and soba. She said it was good and didn't even notice that she wasn't eating chicken.
Chryssie being a soup lover had her bowl of Roast Pork Ramen (PHP 290) which was delicious also.
I was not adventurous and was craving for Katsudon (PHP 280), so I had a bowl. The pork was tender with a good balance from the sauce. I wish the serving was bigger though.
We all enjoyed out sake based cocktails which is reason enough to go back to Geisha. We had Sake Sour (PHP 140), Sakerita (PHP 140) and Lychee Saketini (PHP 140). Of course I had the lychee and a coco-lychee martini is usually my choice of cocktail. Each drink had a good balance and generated the right amount of buzz.
We enjoyed the drinks and appetizers to Geisha the most. I think its reason enough for me to go back.
Geisha Modern Japanese is located at the Upper Ground Floor, West Superblock, BHS Central, BGC.
