    Never in a million years did I think I'd have some of the best sushi ever in the small town of Idaho Falls. WELL... our experience proved that even a landlocked state can offer a killer experience, like the one we had! Our server, Kelsee was so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about the entire menu. With all of us completely overwhelmed at where to start in ordering, Kelsee swooped in, gave us a rundown of the specialty items, her favorites and spice level, because WOAH. We opted for 2 appetizers (edamame and another one that escapes me now), along with 6 rolls, for the 4 of us to split. Our food came out quickly and all together (which was nice), was beautiful in presentation, and absolutely delicious!! We had such a variety that I can't remember them all but what I can remember, was that I loved every single one of them! One of the rolls we ordered traditionally comes with some type of ghost pepper seasoning on top, and at Kelsee's suggestion, we got it on the side to dust on ourselves. Sure, glad we did, because HOT DAMN that spice is HOT. Although Kelsee had a full section, she checked back with us frequently and provided great service and conversation! The entire experience left us with full bellies and a smile on our face. I hope o return if back in the Idaho Falls area again!

    If you like sushi, this is the place for you. Large menu with options that are cooked ;) Staff is friendly enough and a joy to watch work. The prices are decent, and the locals seem to love it. I'm not a fan of sushi, but the chicken skewers were delicious. Only flaw - the fried rice is not authentic. It's made to order, which true fried rice cannot be. It should be made from day old cooked rice, egg, and fried in a wok.

    Food was awesome and delicious, but filling. My service was attentive and very nice. Only problem is that it was packed and not many tables to sit at, they were very close to each other but it was our first time and enjoyed it. Pricey but good. I had to tip the cooks as well because I believe they deserve it since they do make our food.

    Service was great and food was really good! Only minor complaint is that their tofu had cold spots in the miso soup but I've never had certain rolls before and they were delicious. Would definitely return!

    SIGH...I wish I could give more stars.... A major move in 2021 to Idaho Falls gives me the ability to explore new businesses. It is exciting for me to be able to review these offerings on Yelp. One of the reasons we chose to live in Idaho Falls are the friendly people who live here. People smile, they take time to chat, they are welcoming. Except for the service I received at my second visit to Blue Hashi. So let me briefly mention the first visit. Our server was wonderful. She gave us great suggestions for what to order, our meals arrived in a timely fashion, and we enjoyed our dining experience. The photos I've posted are from this first visit which made us want to go return. However after our second visit...we have not returned. We had the dreaded server who insulted us, then left without taking our order or asking what she could get us. And to top it off - there were only two other tables with patrons in the restaurant. Service should not have been slow. When our food finally arrived it was good. They have good sushi chefs who know how to prepare fresh food well and in a timely fashion. Finally when the bill arrived we found the entree she suggested we try was an up charge over the one we were going to order and she had not told us it cost more. Another bad move on her part! I wanted to leave two pennies on the table so she would understand just how much she had insulted us and ruined our dining. But somehow, as sour as she was, it seemed right to give her at least a 10% tip, even though we've been leaving 20-30% due to Covid and how its hurt the restaurant business and the servers. In all our ventures into restaurants in Idaho Falls we have never felt unwelcome until this server at Blue Hashi. That second meal was in September and we haven't returned. What could have been a spectacular dining experience due to great food was turned into a sour meal we still regret.

    IDAHO FALLS DINING VARIETY CHALLENGE: Having recently moved here from Boise, we realize the variety of dining opportunities could be smaller. We hope to show there are many 4-5 star restaurants of various cuisines to be enjoyed as we experience them ourselves. This review is based on our second visit, on Sep 9, 2021. SUSHI - We were in a great mood, laughing and joking with each other. That's rare these days, getting out and having a good time. We entered the restaurant, and the server/greeter was obviously in a bad mood. We continued laughing and kidding, and we tried engaging her as well. We later learned that she didn't like one of my spouse's comments. She silently took us to a booth and handed us menus. That was fine. She came to take our order, and we began to do so. I also ordered a beer. My spouse ordered the same beer, and the server said, "We're out of that beer." I laughed, and said, "So, I got the last one?" She gave me a bad look, then spouted, "I taught my children not to be rude! I'm not going to serve rude people like you!" She stormed off toward the sushi bar. My spouse and I just stared at each other and began trying to figure out what had set her off so much. We were no longer laughing or having a good time. We finally decided she was in a bad mood, and our trying to have a good time just didn't sit well with her, combined with us joking with her. She finally came back, saying, "I'll take your order, but you owe me an apology." We weren't sure why, nor were we going to ask at this point, but we both contritely apologized for whatever we had done, though we felt it should be the other way around. She stared at us like a stern teacher with a paddle board wanting to use it on rude children. We gave her our order (with two different beers) and she left. My spouse said, "Let's just go. There's no way we are going to enjoy this now." I said, "We need to not let her ruin our day." Unfortunately the service fiasco continued. My canned beer was barely opened, enough that I wondered if there were a problem with it. The order took forever to arrive. The server did her best to ignore us. So, yes, we did let her ruin our day. Even the food still being good didn't help. As my spouse said, there's no way we are going to enjoy this, and the server ensured that would be true. When we left, my spouse simply left the restaurant. I paid, with the server being the one smiling, saying "I'm so glad we got past the initial problem and everything ended up ok." Yeah, right. I paid the bill, left too much of a tip (I considered two pennies, but I don't do that) and also departed. A dining experience is about both food and service. The food kept this from being a one star review, but the service on Sep 9 meant that we haven't been back since and today is Nov 19. Sorry, Blue Hashi, but your servers shouldn't foist their bad day upon others.

    I have mixed feeling about this place. I ordered nigiri. The rice is horribly shaped--as hard as cold rock and separated immediately from the fish when I touched it. However the fish is incredibly fresh and fatty tasty. This is hamachi (yellowtail). Since the fish was good I ordered the 6 pc sashimi plate. Again mixed feelings. They used the fatty juicy part in nigiri but only the skinny part in sashimi plate :( The rolls are some good combinations of fish and rice and sauce tho. I also think they kept the servers extremely busy so the service is super sloowwww. At the busiest dinner rush hour only 2.5 ppl serving all the tables, bars, and the front counter.

    We found Yoi Mi on Yelp and decided to double-check with the front desk host at our RV resort. She…read moresaid she and her husband go there for date night every week, so that sealed the deal. This is a hibachi steakhouse, but don't expect the show. They cook everything in the back and bring it out to your table. It's tucked into a tiny strip mall, and honestly, we drove right past it the first time. The outside isn't much to look at, kind of a "blink and you'll miss it" vibe, but don't let that fool you. Inside is simple: some booths, some tables, and a cool sign on the wall with koi fish artwork and the name of the restaurant. It's low-key, but they're super friendly. We were greeted right away, drink orders taken fast, and our food came out quickly after that. I ordered a salad (not included with the meal but worth adding), and we got noodles as a shared side. They brought those out first like an appetizer. The yum-yum sauce was great, definitely not the bottled kind. I had the filet and shrimp hibachi dinner, which came with rice and vegetables. My husband had the filet dinner. Everything was cooked perfectly. The shrimp had a nice, light teriyaki flavor, and the steak was tender and flavorful. Dinner came to around $66 plus tip for both of us, really fair pricing for the quality. Bottom line: it's a hole-in-the-wall that knows what it's doing. If you're passing through Idaho Falls and craving hibachi without the tableside flair, this place is worth a stop. We'd absolutely go back.

    JUST WOW........Would have given 10 stars if the system allowed it!!!…read more We were staying in the area and came here because it had the highest rated score for sushi on Yelp and let me tell you....it did NOT disappoint!!! Coming from California to visit in the area, we didn't have very high hopes for this place considering it's 12 hours to the nearest coast! Seafood in the middle of Idaho come on!! Not to mention the prices were so cheap I couldn't believe it! Heck there is Gas station sushi in Cali that cost more.... When we first walked in we were greeted by the nicest staff! VERY attentive and constantly keeping our glasses full, with the sushi continually coming to the table throughout the visit! There was an older gentleman who, I think was the owner, that visited our table maybe 4 times to ask if everything was ok and do whatever he could to make our visit memorable! Probably the BEST wait staff of any place we ate at in Idaho Falls!!! The building itself was nicely done matching any sushi place in California. Pretty good size and there were a lot of people eating here, but the service was so good they made their jobs look easy! Now onto the food...There really isn't anything I can say to convince you to visit except that EVERYTHING was AMAZING. My group had about 10 different rolls as well as appetizer choices and nigiri and I must say, ALL of it was better than the places back home!!! This place would be dangerous if we lived here, because I believe we would spend a good portion of my check here EVERY week!!! Rolls that stood out...DO NOT eat here without having a Snow Drop roll, holy cow that might be the best roll I've ever had at any sushi bar!!! The Dancing Eel roll was tremendous as well! The sauce that came on that sucker would be worth paying for enough to take a bath in, if you happen to be rich enough to afford it! Even the cheaper rolls that many places use as filler rolls were superbly elevated to a higher level! Also don't miss the deep fried rice topped with spicy tuna appetizer, it was phenomenal!!! We had two of those!!! Anyway in the end, both the staff and the food was AMAZING!! Who would have thought sushi in Idaho?!?! You have raised the bar above on ANY Cali similar restaurant. DO NOT MISS this place!!!! We will definitely be eating here again before we leave!! We will come back here again and again as you should toooooo!! I will post pictures after our next visit later in the week....

The wife and I stopped in for lunch at Hokkaido because what's better than soup on a cold day, right? Having this be our first visit to Hokkaido, my wife ordered the spicy ramen, and I ordered the Tantanmen ramen, level 2. Oh, and unless you've got the appetite of a Bigfoot, you might want to skip the appetizers. Not that they're not good. You just won't need them. The real deal is coming. It might take a bit to get there, but man oh man was it authentic. This isn't your 6 for a dollar kind of ramen. There's lots of meat and veggies AND as much spice as you need to warm up the insides. If you've never had Japanese ramen, put away your fears and give Hokkaido a try. You won't regret anything other than it being your first time.

I have resulted in going to Hokkaido by the river. Every single time I've gone there. It has been terrible. The customer service is absolutely appalling. We were seated and waited I kid you not over 20 minutes just for our drink order. The place wasn't even busy. The host that sat us, walked around noticeably eating food and being on their phone when they could've taken orders etc. I go to the bathroom and there is not toilet paper nor hand soap and an astonishing amount of chemicals and cleaning supplies under the sink. There is also a door in the women's bathroom that has a trash can blocking the entrance which makes me uncomfortable. The food is no where near as good as the building on sunnyside and was missing different garnishes of my soup. Some of the staff were not friendly and did not seem interested or cared on how we were doing. Although I will say Wyatt helped us and was so kind and apologetic on the wait. He seemed to be the only one taking care of multiple tables. When the short haired individual was walking around aimlessly. Long story short. It used to be good but I've been to this location multiple times and it's the same result. Staff are careless and food is not the same.
