We visit Lake Geneva all the time, but for some reason, never came here until today. So glad we did! It's Japanese fusion so the menu has a lot of good variety--everything from Ramen to hibachi to steak entrées. Something for everyone here. My wife and I both got the Tantanmen Ramen and it was delicious! Just the right amount of spice and incredibly flavorful. My wife said it's so good "It will solve all your problems." The place itself is small, but they use the space very well. They have a full bar (including sake!). Servers are very helpful and friendly. They keep the place very clean. There is also limited outdoor seating available in the former months. Will definitely be back here again!

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!

Gyoza, miso, Pad see yu...all great. Same with fried rice, pad Thai, cheese 'wontons' for lack of a Thai phrase...Service was friendly and helpful at least 50% of my visits for dine in but also have had more take outs comparatively. A tad pricey. Otherwise 4 stars. Definitely will continue to go back.

It was my first time eating ramen in America after coming from Japan, and it seemed like they really put effort into it, and it was delicious. Good memories of America.

Atmosphere, food and service were terrific. The only negative to me was NY, LA or Atlanta prices. A bit on the high end side for Lake Geneva. I will certainly be back and try the Gyoza or Shumai. ?

Went there in the middle of the dinner shift. Restaurant was completely empty, no music on or anything when we came in. Honestly had that feeling of closing in 5 minutes where you feel you should turn and go.Food was okay but not something I would go back for. Went for hibachi, no hibachi stations when you walk in. Okay, maybe they just do it in the back and bring it out. Nope. The veggies and protein are cooked together and served with a side of white rice. Not really hibachi as we know it. Ramen was okay. No spice. All in all the food just didn't have a lot of flavor and for the pricetag, I'd rather go to Sabai Sabai. We were told the menu just changed too and this was from the new menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Not super accessible entry. There are two doors to pull open to enter and the space between them is only about 3 feet.
Atmosphere was too small, she wanted to seat us between two other couples and it felt like we would have all been sitting together so the only other option was to sit at the bar. Not where I would have chosen to sit for a Valentine dinner date. I wanted lobster and then saw a plate with lobster on it go by and changed my mind. It would have been like ordering spaghetti at a Greek restaurant. Lol I ordered a extra dirty martini and there was nothing dirty about it ?and came without olives. Way too much things going on there.

We ate at Zaab, a week ago in February. I was very pleased with the service. When we empty a small plate there was a waitress there immediately. The steak was tender which is unusual for this area. There were a lot of vegetables in the hibachi meal. it's Japanese fare.

Moderately busy, but seated right away. 75 mins later we asked to pay for our drinks & cancel our meal order. We were told our meal had not even been started yet. Several tables around us were visibly upset with the poor service & long wait, as well. Tables were waiting AT LEAST 20 mins before even having their order taken, including us. The only positive was 1 waitstaff guy who rushed around trying to help & put any sense of urgency into the situation.
