Zaab Corner Bistro

We were staying at the grand Geneva resort for the weekend and decided to eat in town. I made reservations and included a note that dinner was for a birthday celebration. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so reservations are helpful. There is a back portion with another bar and more tables though.Everyone working was friendly and helpful. The menu has plenty of options. I was torn between ramen, noodles, or hibachi, but ultimately went with hibachi. The steak and scallops were decent portions and fresh. We started with the gyoza and shumai. Both delicious, with the shumai being the best I have ever had!My birthday was not acknowledged unfortunately, but we still got dessert. Our server recommended the apple dumpling with green tea ice cream. Wow. Wish we got two of those! They don't have milk for kids and the soft drinks are cans so no refills. It's a cozy spot and is an excellent choice while downtown Lake Geneva.

Took our family here a few months after my first review and they all loved it! This time we got to sample even more of the menu. Collectively we got the chicken & shrimp hibachi, chicken teriyaki, Tantanmen & Tonkatsu ramen, and yakisoba chicken. My grandma doesn't usually love Asian food but she said "this is one of the best Asian meals I've ever had!" Service was pretty slow (I think it was one chef who was working very hard) but once it came the flavors were all delicious! Not one bad one of the bunch, but we think the yakisoba might have been the table favorite.

My 9 year old son cannot get enough of this restaurant. They have his favorite matcha ice cream, and the best shrimp tempura, he said. It's a smaller restaurant but it's cute and clean. The service is wonderful. I had a to go order, and the man working helped me take it to my car. The ramen is good, and my favorite was the chicken teriyaki.

I should've known it was a bad sign when I walked in and was seated next to a table who got up and left before ordering. Nonetheless, we wanted to give them a fair chance, so we decided to take our chances. My mom and I each ordered a ramen with no substitutions. We were excited to try this welcome addition to Lake Geneva. Our stomachs started to grumble as everyone around us was served. We checked our watch and realized we had been waiting 45 minutes for our ramen. We spoke to the waitress who said there were large parties in front of us and ours was not ready yet. We decided to walk across the street to Tuscan where we were warmly welcomed. 45+ minutes is a steep wait time for a bowl of ramen.

DO NOT COME HERE. The owner is an absolute trip. My wife and I came here ordered food. They brought my food out. As a gentlemen I wait until my wife's comes before eatting. After 20 minutes we said something and she went to the cooks to start making food. In mean time the owner came up to us apologizing. Whatever. From start to finish 42 minutes later my wife's meal shows up. NOW MY MEAL IS COLD. So I asked the owner what are you going to do about this? She replied "I'll take 5% out of the waitress tip. This isn't my fault" IVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A POORLY OWNED BUSINESS. FOOD WAS GOOD SERVISE WAS TRASH. this place shouldn't even be in business with those work ethic.

We walked in on a Saturday afternoon they open at 12:00 noon. We had the establishment to ourselves. Baicha. One of the three young female owners waited on us. Personality bright smiles energetic, full of enthusiasm greeted us. We started with the stuffed avocados. Absolutely, amazingly, delicious! Nice spicy kick to them. Next we tried the Yaki Udon Chicken and the Saucy Lava Chicken. Both of these entrées. Perfectly balanced flavorful, presentation absolutely enticing. Serving size bountiful. Atmosphere and hospitality first rate. Definitely five stars . Yes I am fully aware that when you visit Lake Geneva WI. There are a lot of options for your dining. My suggestion to anyone looking to enjoy an over-the-top flavorful meal a short distance off the main downtown drag. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, sit down, relax, and enjoy a delicious meal made with fresh vegetables bursting with delicious flavor. Stop in and enjoy your taste buds will thank you. Bon appétit.PS: make sure you save some room for the Matcha ice cream a perfect simple snack to complement your meal!

Really excellent food. I highly recommend the coconut shrimp, robata chicken, saucy lava tofu, and hibachi shrimp. The sake-tini was also great.

We dined here while visiting the Lake Geneva area after reading the reviews. I wanted so badly to give them a five-star review, but the service was not amazing. We waited over five minutes to be greeted and seated. We waited again for someone to take our drink order. When our drinks finally arrived, they had given my drink to someone at the bar and gave me their drink. My husband ordered the barbecue chicken. About 15 minutes after ordering, our server returned to say they ran out of chicken. Yet, we saw two other chicken dishes come out after we ordered. We pointed this out and our server just said sorry. We think they must have ordered before we did. I ordered the ramen and it was absolutely amazing! Aside from the service, our server was pleasant and apologetic. The ramen is SUPERB.

This place was wonderful! In town for my husband's birthday and gave them a try, it was a chilly fall evening and we wanted something a little warm and spicy. I was beyond happy with trying Zaab. We came at 8:30 on a Saturday and service was very fast eventhough they were pretty busy.My husband got the Udon with Katsu chicken and I got lava Chicken with brown rice and added a side of tamarind chili dressing I added to the rice. Then lava chicken was amazing and was the perfect combo of a little sweet and a hint of spicy. Adding the tamarind chili to the rice gave it a nice spicy kick. The udon broth was soooo good and I would eat this on any cold day I could. Overall I thought the flavors were wonderful, the service was fast and friendly and I'll come back anytime I'm in the area. Legit my new favorite place and I'm safe I don't live closer or I'd eat here several times a month. The lava chicken and a wonderful crisp texture even with the sauce.

The Pho is amazing - never had anything that good!!! All in the broth!!!Chicken Gyoza not so much - on the low end of the scale / probably won't get it again...Salmon salad very good Pork udon great!!!Service prompt and personable !Decor is nice in front of- if you're late or it's busy there's another section in the back but it's not bad
