Moved into the neighborhood few months ago and we're looking for a regular sushi spot. Geido's window display looked cool/ like it was a good restaurant so we went for the first time 2 weeks ago and I went again last week because I liked it so much. Its been opened since 1985 !!! The restaurant is a homey joint with graffiti on the walls, people go here for their weekday dinners and patrons have been coming for years ( our landlord for the last 15 years)! The sake prices are reasonable. The rolls are fire . I eat a lot of sushi and have been scarred by a lot of cheap sushi places.Geidos rolls are reasonably priced, service is quick and attentive and food is fresh and delicious. Our favorite rolls are the amazonas ( so many crunchies you will be super full) and the spicy scallop. Standard rolls that are pretty fire are - eel and avo, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura. Try their California roll which has tobiko in it which was BOMB !!!!

Ambiance: Very positive ambience and good vibes. Best to sit by the preparation table, as you can see how food is prepared.Service: The service is ok, nothing special. Our waiter didn't know which soup starts with N, when it was on the menu, we couldn't pronounce it unfortunately. He looked like he had no idea, how ironic. "Salmon special soup" was served in a plastic cup, which was very hot and possibly melting plastic into the soup. They do have ceramic bowls, but they did not use it for such a hot soup. Omakase chef's choice of sushi was consisting of a simple tuna sushi, salmon belly that looked like shredded broken piece of small salmon, squid sushi, eel, and crab, not memorable pieces. $25 dollars for 5 pieces. Not worth it at all. Chef's choices should be more special pieces not regular sushi pieces that one can get for lunch anywhere in Brooklyn for lunch for less price. Udon soup was ok, so so... salty, and vinegary. Overall, it was a subpar experience.

On a rainy evening, Geido proved to be an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance of this charming Japanese restaurant, though bustling, was beautifully inviting. Every dish was a delight--crispy chicken perfectly prepared, generous portions that left nothing to be desired, and a hot, earthy miso soup that served as the ideal appetizer. The meal concluded with a scoop of ice cream that was simply delightful, though the green-tea flavor could have been a touch sweeter. The attentive staff and overall warm atmosphere make Geido a spot worth revisiting.

Everything was delicious. Went here for a date night and sat at the bar. Very cute for casual sushi spot but very fresh/good quality. If you are hungry.. get the Brooklyn special roll. It's delicious !

One of my top 5 restaurants! This place is a true gem! I'm Japanese and me and my mother have been coming here forever. It is some of the best sushi you can get in nyc, hands down. The owner and his son are some of the nicest and most genuine people ever, they literally remember everyone! There's always a little bit of a wait because the space isn't huge but it's so worth it. The vibes are great in here, super lively and the art is very fun. The fish quality is insane, it's crazy how buttery and precise everything is you can really see and feel the care being put in. If you're in the area you have to come here! And if you're not in the area, make the trek to come here!

Came to Brooklyn to meet up with an old work friend and he recommended this place, said he's been coming here several times a week for 30 YEARS!!!--so of course I was looking forward to it. We came as soon as the place opened for dinner and the restaurant quickly filled up but it wasn't too loud or obnoxious. As for the food...Welp. I can never eat at another sushi restaurant ever again, this was SO delicious, the most delicious sushi and omakase experience I've ever had. Our server was very polite and we got to watch the master sushi chef work diligently and NON STOP from the moment we sat down. Every piece and bite was a flavor bomb that just melts in your mouth, like celestial butter. We left happy, having caught up with an old friend and having a new favorite sushi spot. Yum.

Bustling neighborhood sushi spot. Geido is part of the great cluster of sushi and Japanese spots in Prospect Heights and North Slope. We walked here for dinner after catching a basketball tournament at the Barclays Center. We arrived during peak dining time on a Friday but were able to land the last two seats in the restaurant at the sushi bar counter. The atmosphere is more casual than some of the other sushi spots nearby; coupling that with the close proximity of tables and seating gives the restaurant a cozy feel. I started with some hot tea to warm up. We also shared a miso soup with salmon. The tea and soup together hit the spot! I was toasty in no time and ready for a Sapporo on draft.We also shared the stuffed shishito tempura. I haven't seen that elsewhere. It was simple yet creative. We both liked it and I'd recommend giving it a shot if it's available.For the main course, we shared the sushi platter for two. Nice variety of sushi featuring two pieces of 9 different types of seafood. There were cuts you wouldn't find at a typical neighborhood spot, but nothing I'd expect at an exclusive omakase counter. The variety offers a balanced middle tier at an extremely reasonable priced. The pacing of the food was good and the service was attentive. There were two single occupancy gendered restrooms.

This place doesn't just look like an old school sushi joint-- it's been in business since 1985. I wonder what the neighborhood was like at the time, but to this day you can find most seats filled with folks enjoying their fresh fish at killer prices. Expect a no frills, hospitable place with an overwhelmingly lengthy menu and a wall covered in graffiti & scribbles. We waltzed in about half an hour before they were set to close for the night and they gladly ushered us in.If you're familiar with your typical sushi menu then you'll recognize the menu here. They have specials written on an expo board on the wall, and you can ask your server for recommendations, but I'd recommend any of their assorted sashimi and roll specials. The fish is fresh, food is made to order pretty speedily, and the prices are very reasonable. Nothing I had was mind blowing and I found the smell of fish in the place a tad overwhelming (even as a pescatarian who subsists on a heavy seafood diet) so I could more easily see this as a spot I'd order takeout or delivery from. As more and more upscale restaurants open in the neighborhood, Geido is a vestige of an old Prospect Heights that is quickly getting swallowed up by new developments and tasting menus.

My go-to Japanese spot!! I tried this spot out on Sunday right when it opened and was surprised how quickly it filled up! It's very family-friendly (I saw lots of kids) and the service is great. Growing up in japan I'm always on the hunt for authentic Japanese food and this place delivers. We tried the okonomiyaki, takoyaki, kinpira, okra, and sushi. All were amazing and reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back!!

This place has a lot of nostalgia for me, as it was my neighborhood sushi spot when I moved to Prospect Heights almost a decade ago.Over the years, Geido has never failed me. This place is always busy/packed and for good reason. It may not have the very best sushi in the city, but you seriously get the very best bang-for-your-buck. It's such a great neighborhood vibe here - love the graffiti, which gives it very much an urban/casual feel. The staff and chefs are friendly and work quick.I recently came back with some friends, and it brought back all the great memories here. Everything I have loved about this place is intact.My go to neighborhood sushi spot when I want very affordable sushi, but still want an energetic and cool vibe.
