Wow! Love coming here and the variety is endless. They have a great variety of food and drinks. We had a roll, steak tacos and surf and turf. The habanero sauce is spicy but a good spicy if that's your thing. Otherwise stay clear from it.

Plenty of parking in the structure behind the restaurant. Place is huge, with plenty of seating. They had happy hour, which was great. We ordered a bit to share. It's a fusion concept with a variety of different dishes. Everything was really good, but by far the star of the show was the octopus. The sauces that came with it were amazing, really well balanced dish and the octo was cooked perfectly. Def a must try and order from the happy hour menu if you can. Staff were friendly as well.

We came to check out the new Geisha by tempo. We've been to all the tempos and this one was my top two favorites. We had the oysters, sushi , tried the aguachiles , pork belly bites (chicharron) appetizer, carne asada tacos for the kids, and their butter cake with ice cream and loved it all! Servers were very nice and friendly and kept checking in on us. Will definitely come back and recommend

I stopped by Tempo Geisha the other day and decided to try their seafood and meat molcajete. The flavor was great, the mix of meats and seafood came out sizzling hot and full of that smoky, rich taste you want from a good molcajete. The portion of the main dish itself was generous, but I was surprised they only gave four small corn tortillas with such a big bowl. Same goes for the rice and beans, both were good, just served in really small portions. What threw me off a bit was the little details. The soda came in what felt like a kid-sized glass, and I really missed having chips and salsa at the start of the meal. Most Mexican spots I've been to, like Cha Cha's down the street automatically bring them out, which adds a nice welcoming touch. Tempo Geisha has solid food and good flavors, but with a few small tweaks to their portions and extras, it could easily go from good to great. Manager was also assisting as our waiter and taking our orders. Service was great and the staff had great attitudes. Friendly place and i would definitely come again. The happy hour being our first time trying it, and the last experience coming for dinner with my kids and wife reaffirmed the food is good and service was good. Just a few minor tweaks to improve.

The service was great, our waitress Heidi was friendly and welcoming. The menu was a little all over the place and the agua fresca lacked flavor. The pasta I chose was a little bland but with salt and pepper was much better and the garlic bread was delicious. I ordered the Tequila chicken pasta. I chose to come to this location based off of a social media post but I can't say I was impressed.

Soggy tacos dorados. Man, I was disappointed overall with my experience at Tempo Geisha. Both of the things I order were not good. Tacos Dorados 7/10 These arrived soggy. The taco shells that are supposed to be crunchy, were soggy. The tacos were served in a plate with sauce in the bottom of the bowl. Apparently, the tacos had sat there int he sauce too long. Maybe that was ready first and they had it sitting for the rest of the food to come out. I'm not too sure? I just know something went wrong... I ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp instead of chicken. Extra charge for the shrimp by the way. The Caesar salad dressing tasted off to me. It was overly fishy tasting, like anchovies maybe? They topped the salad with lots of cheese. That's fine. The dressing was just off though. It didn't taste like Caesar salad dressing. I couldn't even eat it. Really gross. My husband took a bit and agreed that it wasn't right. 2/10 for the Caesar salad. Service was fine. No issues there. They brought our food and filled our glasses. That's great. Ambiance wasn't crowded or busy. There were a couple other tables. My husband said his food was mediocre. Nothing to rave about. At least, he was able to eat his food.

The vibes were nice. We went when it was less crowded, possibly because it was raining, so the service was good. The green sauce with the enchiladas is so creamy and flavorful. That was our favorite. The chicken fajitas were also good.

Every time I come there's always something new for me to try. So far after a few visits, I have not been disappointed. Keep up the excellent customer service and delicious meals. The evening is better for the decor to really pop.

Such a big disappointment. We were really excited to try tempo geisha as it was the new restaurant with a neat concept. Everything was a complete failure The design of the place is absolutely beautiful! It is decorated really nice and very tasteful. Service was really poor. Our waiter was the bartender and our server. He didn't know the menu. We got the pan roast, dirty fries and pineapple dish. We specially said we don't want the octopus in pan roast but the other seafood items are fine and he later brings out the chicken and sausage. My husband repeated multiple times but he stilll got it wrong. He even showed us the tablet while we were paying that the pan roast was with chicken. What? We asked for seafood version. He just didn't get it. Either way the pan roast didn't taste good. Lacked proper flavor. The dirty fries were okay. They needed more acidity. The grilled pineapple was basically a bunch of cheese with barely any flavor. Wouldn't recommend any of it. I got strawberry margarita and my husband got the mule. Both which barely had any alcohol because I didn't taste any. Mine tasted like strawberry juice. Complete disappointment. Overall we were really disappointed and to top it off we went there for my birthday. I'd say skip it and if ton really want traditional Mexican cuisine and better alcohol go the other tempo in Brea otherwise skip it. It's not worth it. I can see why the restaurant was empty just with a few tables taken.

Had a great time here! Celebrated a friend's birthday, vibes were nice and loved the artwork and lighting. I ordered a virgin ginger mojito and the citrus roll. Vibes 5/5 Citrus Roll 5/5: love the refreshing taste, salmon is seared and has this interesting lemony pop to it. Definitely would like to get it again. Service 4.5/5: Overall went well, I had a hard time paying attention to the service as we were celebrating, so left some wiggle room in the rating. I'll be more mindful next time. I would like to come here again for a date with my husband. Heehee

I came to Tempo Geisha for a quick and cheeky little drink, and left already planning my next visit! The vibe here is giving trendy, upbeat, and definitely a spot I'd come back to for a celebration. I tried the margarita flight, and it's the perfect mix of flavors. Would order again, but I'm also excited to try the rest of the menu. Our server Jesse made the night even better. Super friendly, quick with service, and really knowledgeable about the menu. He had great recommendations and kept everything flowing without ever feeling rushed. Thanks, Jesse!

A solid 3.5 stars I brought my best friend here for her birthday lunch on a Wednesday. We were seated immediately but had to wait a while for service as there was only a single waiter. He was friendly and apologetic about the delay. Apps ordered: chicken tinga taquitos 5/5 guacamole (served deconstructed) 5/5 Entrees ordered: shrimp cocktail 3/5 sushi roll 2/5 surf and turf tacos 2/5 The apps were far superior to the food. The bone marrow was too gamey, and the seafood was extremely fishy in all of our dishes. Cocktails we ordered: lychee martini 6/5 espresso martini 5/5 The drinks are the real mvps here, so we had to go with two rounds. The decor is a close second. I really wanted to love it here, but the food fell well below my expectations. I don't mind dropping bags on a quality meal, but I definitely did not get that. My bill was approximately $200 for the items mentioned, including tip. I may come back during hh for drinks and small bites, but I definitely won't be ordering any seafood. We asked about live music on weekends and were told that the city forbade DJs and bands at this location.
