re: What's better Geisha or Ichiban?

Ichiban.




Yama has better food (not by much at all, except the rolls) but I think the atmosphere, compared to ichiban, is terrible. This will especially be true on a Friday night. Yama is basically just one big, loud room and thats it. There is nothing to break up the room at all and it will be filled with a ton of loud families (that always all seem to know each other) that all sit around and bullshite across the restaurant. Tables of high school kids that have shite for manners. And the occasional two top or four top that is just trying to have a nice meal.

If its just you and a coworker, go to Ichiban. They have a nice bar you can have a drink at if there is a wait and the place is much better set up for a dinner with another person or couple. The food is also really good
