Stopped by today with the family. First thing I notice was the atmosphere, very simple and cute. Nice open space. Parking available in the front. Great customer service. I'm not a fan of the self serve kiosks.. but it's not the end of the world! I really only came here for the sushi and to see their menu with very little variety made me want to leave, but instead I was determined to try it out. I ordered 4 different rolls and their cucumber salad. The salad was great! The rolls were mid. It got the job done. However, there are better sushi places with a more authentic feel in the treasure valley and if I'm being frank I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Food is good! Rolls aren't tight and a bit of a challenge to pick up and eat in one piece. But they tasted good. I didn't understand this wasn't a full restaurant but a kiosk order, seating. Employees ate very nice. For the price, I'd do it again. read more

Ordered a quick lunch today between my clients. The veggie dumplings and miso sounded good. This is my first time having the dumplings and they are so good! Very flavorful and were fried for a little extra crunch. The miso was hot, full of seaweed and tofu. I enjoyed the shitake mushrooms in the soup. Service is always fast and friendly! I appreciate how quick they are getting the food prepared. We sometimes don't always have a lot of time to eat. It's always so chill in there. Such a easy going vibe. It's a nice change of pace for me when I go there. Great place for a quick but tasty lunch. read more

My husband and I ordered the California roll, the miso soup, and the apocalypse roll. They were all phenomenal! The miso soup was especially delicious with a very generous portion of tofu. Prices were reasonable, and service was quick, we would definitely come again. read more

Good food good service. Could have added a lemon wedge with tofu. Loud music, I think it was to deter customers from sitting inside. 4.5 stars read more

Do you love gas station sushi but want to pay more for it? Do you enjoy sushi made from playdough and your toddler's goldfish that mysteriously went missing from its tank two months ago? Do you ever wonder what it's like to lick the inside of a Walmart Super-center aquarium? Then this is the place for you! Introducing Dharma, the hip convenience store style "sushi" restaurant that may or may not have you wondering just what unforgivable sin you committed that led you to this punishment. The consistency and quality of the fish was comparable to a thawed can of freezer burned Fancy Feast. If you liked sushi before, you won't now. Fear not friends for I have created a hack to save you money without sacrificing the experience of Dharma: Make the same thing at home by using watered down Great Value mayo, food bank expired canned tuna, sprinkle with a little bit of crippling regret and voilà! Stuff that in a paper towel roll and cut it with a butter knife. You won't know the difference. read more

I ordered something today that was sub-par. Since I've been a customer in the past, I wanted to let the owners know about my experience. I went to their website for an email or phone number. THE EMAIL ON THEIR WEBSITE DOES NOT WORK. THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE WEBSITE DOES NOT WORK. (yes, the phone you have for them here on Yelp is disconnected) You can make an online automated order, but you can't communicate with them at all. Don't order the potstickers.... read more

inside is fairly clean but the rolls just flat out arent good. You'd be better off with grocery store rolls. the miso soup smelled like urine and wet dog. Don't waste your time or money read more

So rude. The food is mediocre. Don't waste your time, go anywhere else. They forget most of your order and give you the wrong stuff and then refuse to do anything about it. read more

Not sure why everyone is hating, but I've enjoyed this place for about 6 years now, back to when they were at a different location. No, it's not gourmet sushi, so if that's what you're looking for, I'd find a different place. However, I'm a broke college student now and like having cheap, good sushi, so I come here. The atmosphere is really nice and they always play good music. There are plants everywhere and lots of windows, as well as seating outside. The wait on food isn't long at all, and the sushi is good for the price. They have little kiosks that you order at and also fridges that you grab your own drink from; this is amazing if you're an introvert like me and hate ordering food. I would give it a chance if you're having a late night craving for some sushi or want a chill place to get food with friends or alone. read more

Dharma Sushi - california roll and scallion pancakes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This place is a quick and no frills spot with handful of menu items. You order and pay on a monitor by choosing your options and grab your food when your name is called. The apocalypse roll was quite good but it wasn't anything special. It was quick and efficient. Good for a quick sushi fix. read more

Dharma Sushi - a close up of a sushi roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Pretty good sushi! They stay open late which is really nice and they prepare sushi quickly. It's definitely not as high quality as some other places but it's like fast service sushi so great for that. You can get this after hitting the bars on Main St. which is great also. read more

The teriyaki bowl so damn good . I ate it at work my first time and it literally made my day, the girl I got my food from was super nice too

Very rude server. Was so awful we left to find another place to eat. She clearly hates working there. Refused request to talk to manager about allergies. Went to shogun on Fairview instead and it was awesome. read more

Super good food and have always had good service :). I usually get the Lebowski roll and the money bags.

Great new location with outdoor seating, open late sushi place! So different combinations and not a whole lot of variety but when you want sushi late night they are open. However the lack of fresh wasabi and ginger is a bummer. Also be careful because they tend to add sauces on top of their rolls. The sushi rolls are subpar minimal fresh fish combinations. This place could be awesome if they stepped up their menu and made it real sushi-like read more

Hands down the worst sushi I've ever had. Can't even call this sushi. I wouldn't even want it if I was drunk. If you want to eat terrible "sushi" with low quality fish or hardly any, weird rolls that aren't even Japanese and are the size of your head, smothered in gross sauce, in a restaurant that feels like McDonalds and is freezing cold with the doors open, go here:) read more

My friend and I went for a hike and came downtown starving for lunch! We agreed sushi sounded good, this was the first place we saw. The place is cute with ample seating (indoor and outdoor). You place your order on an iPod and the food is brought out pretty quickly. Sushi rolls They different and large, a lot of rice. But, they were good. Definitely not sushi in the traditional sense. We had two rolls, which was more than enough. 1/2 curry bowl Unfortunately this didn't have much flavor. Not much of a curry taste at The 1/2 size portion was generous. We were happy we didn't get a full size. Overall, for a quick & cheap bite, this place isn't a bad choice. read more

I truly don't understand the negative reviews- Dharma has consistently been fresh, healthy, and delicious for years!! They offer a bunch of different roll options, are always fast, and the ingredients are consistently high quality and fresh. This is one of my favorite spots to grab a healthy lunch during the week. My favorite rolls are the: Thai peanut, Eureka, Bangkok, and the urban. The sides are fun and worth trying! As unconventional as they sound- the loaded tots (topped with unagi sauce, spicy Mayo, scallions, etc.) are so so good. 10/10 recommend! I'm know there's places with more traditional sushi, however, Dharma is a fun, modern, creative place to eat. read more

Well, there does Dharma. Their new 'improved' menu items taste like garbage, and honestly I think I'm being offensive to garbage with the comparison. The 'improved' vegan Thai peanut roll? The first bite was reflexively spit right back out before my upper & lower teeth could even make contact. It tasted like fermented fish - why would a 'vegan' menu item shoot for such such an unpleasant taste? I'm not vegan but good word there is not way I could stomach such a nauseating concoction Sadly all but the $5 tots from our $44 takeout order went straight into the trash, and I'm pretty sure our trash can will need counseling after what's it having to endure. That being said, bring back the old unimproved versions and I'd readily give Dharma a 4 or 5 star review. As it stands though there is now way I can recommend their food anymore. read more

Welcome to the future. At Dharma, you stroll in, step up to a touchscreen, peruse the menu and order your food. This is merely the first step towards becoming subservient to our robot overlords, but that's beside the point. You sit down and your food is brought to you, with none of that messy "interpersonal interaction" stuff that everyone hates. The food is just ok. My red curry lunch special came with a salad and a half serving of chicken curry, which tasted less bold than the red curry that I'm used to in Seattle. Their sushi is an abomination, but in an endearing way. I got an extremely fat roll with tuna, bacon, and fried onion flakes. Not traditional to say the least, but what do you expect from a restaurant run by Decepticons? read more

I stopped by for a late night snack after attending Welcome to Night Vale at the Egyptian Theater. It's been awhile since I've been here, and things have evolved. Now, you order and pay (no cash accepted currently) on a screen. Then a person brings you what you ordered. The water station with napkins, to go containers (more on this later), and anything else you might need with regards to your food is in a new and improved location. No need to chase down the waiter, and no need for the waiter to chase down you. It's an efficient order/pay and self serve system. I like the freedom to be self sufficient. I chose the money bags (sweet & spicy cream cheese filled wontons like crab Rangoon minus the crab), banana bites (chocolate banana cheesecake in a wonton as well). Fried. Delightfully fried. Served with the sauces I requested from the screen. The food came out quickly, and I enjoyed my fried items immensely. I did drop one of my fried friends and it made a surprisingly loud thud as it hit the floor. It echoed. It echoed. Luckily, most people were on their phones or other devices so no one really noticed. Nonetheless, I quickly grabbed a container lid before slinking to my car in the parking lot next door. I then drove home to finish eating my fried wontons. I enjoyed my visit at Dharma. The new changes, expanded menu, and decor are refreshing. They still have the same cool vibe and window seats which are great for people watching. read more

Dharma Sushi - Flower lights, I'm a fan of sparkly. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Came here with a friend of mine for lunch and really really enjoyed it. The location was easy to find a place to park and it was a very relaxing experience. Inside is well decorated, warm and wonderful with the sun pouring in the front windows. We enjoyed people watching and chatting without any sense of rush. The customer service was excellent! Very very helpful guys at the counter and their modern checkout was amazingly easy and fun! The food was really really wonderful, we had the fried tofu, save the fish, and tree city roll, all had plenty of portion and the tastiness factor was great. Being my second visit I would highly recommend as both times have been very positive. I almost forgot the best part: lemonade was soooooo good! On a side note: this place is super environmentally friendly from their cups to their plates and that is a wonderful thing to see. I will be going back! I've had a lot of sushi and while the food doesn't knock it out of the park you cant argue with hours and the price is decent for a 10pm sushi craving. read more

I had some business at City Hall, and my sister and air thought it would be a good idea to go to this place for lunch. The food was good but I was deeply concerned and disgusted that all the tables were dirty! With Covid19 circulating around you would think they would be cleaning way more! We watched the staff to see if they would move to clean tables, but the tables remained dirty for the duration of our stay which was about 30 minutes. It does NOT take much effort to wipe down a table with disinfectant! I will not be returning. If they don't take cleanliness seriously right now with fear of COVID19, I doubt they'd be cleaning during regular flu season. read more

Cute little casual sushi and Thai place in downtown. It's easy to order as you just walk up to the counter and order on a self-serve kiosk. There are tabs at the top of the screen with different sections of the menu like bowls, vegan, beverages, sides and desserts, alcohol etc. They have a few different vegan sushi rolls. They said that the swagger roll is the most popular vegan roll so I ordered that roll. It was big and only about eight dollars and it was yummy. They also have one kids meal option. The sushi rolls are not automatically served with wasabi, ginger, and a bowl for the soy sauce, but if you request them they have all those things for free.It was a fun and quick place to stop on our way out of town and I would definitely like to go back again to try the other vegan rolls. read more

Dharma Sushi - Vegan swagger roll: tofu, cucumber, carrot, cilantro, and vegan Unami sauce - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This place is ideal for a quick bite with friends or take out! Super quick service, clean facility, and conveniently located right in the heart of downtown on the corner of Idaho & Capital. Food: There are probably a lot of people who wouldn't constitute a deep fried "Lebowski" roll as sushi...but it makes the mark in my book! It's like a cali roll on steroids--Crab mix, cream cheese, lots of avocado, deep fried in tempura batter, topped with spicy mayo, unagi sauce, and panko. *ERMAGERD* It's so delicious, and filling! The "Blue Steel" is also phenomenal and gives you more of that fresh fish flavor as it has smoked salmon on it. Paired with this bbq type sauce, this roll is slightly confusing (in a good way) because it is first and foremost sushi, but it also has a savory bbq flavor. I also really like their "Save the Fish" roll. This is your typical veggie roll. However, it's a bit bulkier than normal veggie rolls--they are generous with what they pile on this bad boy. Super yummy and super filling! read more

I'd rather eat sushi from Walmart. Words of advice to patrons, bacon in sushi sounds delicious, but it just masks the terrible quality. For gods sake, they don't even give you fresh ginger and wasabi, it comes in a ketchup type packet! read more

Took long time to get food. Four rolls came to 55bucks. But it was open late and had outdoor seating and during Covid that was a plus! Ps-wear a mask! read more

It's quick and rather cheap and rather cheap. I'm sure it fills a need for the college crowd but I was not a fan of the sushi roll we got, it was extra loose and fell apart extremely easily. This is an interesting business model where you order your food on screens in front of the counter. The guys in the kitchen were fun and nice but unfortunately the food quality just wasn't there. Not used to this kind of restaurant yet but maybe will get used to it eventually. Until then, up the quality of that sushi to bring me back! read more

I'm not a fan of the self service kiosk because it limits your choices. The food is consistently good. They don't offer salads like they used to. read more

This was a really interesting place. I am still intrigued by the way you order: Picking what you want from a touch screen, paying there (like an ATM) and they bring it out to you after. I was a little disappointed at the Thai food options. The options in general are pretty specific, especially with the rolls and the menu isn't that big. That being said, what they do offer is still tasty. I think I just stumbled in, craving options from a fuller Thai menu. The place was clean and the employees friendly, so there's not much to complain about. It's definitely a quick grab and go place, probably great for lunch in the area. read more

The shrimp was inedible. The sauces are gross. I don't know if it was an off day but by far the worst sushi that we have had.

Ordering from an IPad was confusing and made a business lunch meeting awkwardly unpleasant. Sushi was mediocre at best and the service was non existent. Update: Gave Dharma a second chance this week and was just as disappointed as the first time. read more

You get what you pay for, but this place is BOMB for the price. The rolls are incredibly tasty and huge! I was so impressed for the price we paid that I ordered it twice in a week (so unlike me). read more

This was all about convenient healthy quality food. I explained I was new and a staff member came around to help me figure out the menu. It was super fun and new to me. We could take things off we didn't want. There were vegan and gluten free options too. We each got a roll and my toddler a side of rice. The highchair was clean along with our eating area. This is something I don't experience much of when going out to eat. Also a CLEAN family baby changing room was great and really appreciated. Thank you! read more

By far the worst sushi I've ever had. Have the people running this place even had sushi before? This shit is for cows, not people. When eating sushi you're not meant to be feeling like you've just taken a massive bite out of a raw fish. The salmon in my roll didn't even look like salmon and had the tiniest tint of orange. A roll is meant to be bite size, not so huge that a single piece is too large to even eat in one bite. If I could rate a 0 in taste I would. For a $12 roll I was expecting far better. read more

Dharma Sushi - Urban Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This is definitely not authentic. If you are looking for good sushi or thai or flavorful food in general, I'd suggest you go elsewhere. Me and a friend ordered 3 rolls (the blue steel, a california, and the swagger) and a teriyaki rice bowl The sushi seemed like it had been prepared hours earlier and then just had the sauce decoration put on at the time of ordering. The rolls were lacking flavor in general other than the flavor imparted from the topping sauce. The rice bowls were bland and didn't have much flavor at all. We ended up putting a fair amount of soy sauce in it to get any flavor from the food. The ingredients taste like they were previously frozen, not fresh and definitely not high quality, especially for the ~$10/roll price. I've had grocery store sushi I enjoyed more and paid about 1/2 the price. read more

I ordered the Urban roll. The fish was mushy and seemed lower quality than grocery store sushi. I requested the green onion sauce be left off of my roll, and they added sweet chili sauce (not listed on the roll's ingredients). I was trying to avoid onion and garlic, and they added it right back in. The roll was also missing tobiko and cilantro. Dharma used to be my go-to place for quick and affordable sushi downtown, but this was a failure. I won't be back. read more
