I came in for lunch and noticed it was a popular and frequent spot for a lot of the military. You can tell from the decor with the appreciation plaques and memorabilia that Shiok is a loved restaurant within the community. Our waitress was super friendly and took our orders right away. I honestly wasn't expecting much for an Asian restaurant in the middle of nowhere but I was pleasantly surprised and the lunch special is such a great deal! The egg drop soup was delicious and so was my Mongolian beef. This will be a go to spot while I am here!

If we had never eaten here before, today's experience would have been one and done…read more After spending Spring Break camping at Three Island Crossing and Bruneau Dunes State Park, we stopped at Shiok on our way home to Boise for a late lunch. The vibe from the waitress told us she didn't want to be there. We were barely greeted and shown a table to sit down at. We barely had seen the menu when she came by and asked us about drinks and appetizers. We asked for two glasses of ice tea and said we needed more time to look at the menu. When she came back to take our order, we still hadn't received our ice teas. She even brought us our cups of soup before the teas. Since we weren't provided water when we sat down, we waited 15 minutes to get the teas. My wife ordered a sweet and sour chicken dish and I ordered Kung pan chicken. When they arrived, they looked almost identical: deep-fried chicken in a sweet sauce. Only Kristy's dish had some slices of bell pepper, while mine had a piece of raw broccoli and some dried chiles. Tasting mine, it was definitely sweet and sour. When the waitress came around I asked if that dish was really Kung pao chicken and she assured me it was. I said the sauce was sweet and the chicken was deep-fried and was unlike any Kung pan chicken I'd ever had. She told me she would trade it out, although I was unsure what she was going to replace it with, since she had insisted that what I had received truly was Kung pao chicken. She returned a few minutes later and said the chef had made a mistake and was making the correct dish for me. It came out and was fine. But what bothered me is the server just assumed she had brought me the proper dish to begin with. If she had simply looked at it and agreed it looked nearly identical to Kristy's sweet and sour dish, she would have easily concluded a mistake had been made. Which I would have understood. Instead, she didn't believe my explanation of why it was the wrong dish. If I was the chef in the kitchen, I would have brought the corrected dish out to the customer myself and apologized personally. He took the easy way out by putting it on his waitress. This is a restaurant we love and have spoken to the owner before. We will go there again, but this was a very disappointing experience.

We were visiting family from out of state and wanted Chinese food. we read the reviews, and decided…read moreto drive the 25 minutes from Glens Ferry since there is nothing there. we spent nearly $100 and were not able to eat much of it. food was not good at all. the Ramen bowl was watery, teriyaki chicken rice was awful. the chow main was blah with chunks of chicken, no vegetables, and super overcooked noodles, almost dry. the only thing we really ate was the sweet and sour pork which came as dry breaded chicken with a side of sauce, and the white rice. im not trying to be mean, or overly picky, but I should have known something was off when the restaurant was empty at 6pm on a weekend.

The service has always been great--friendly, smiling and attentive. I've sat both indoors and outdoors, and both are beautiful, but I especially love that this location sits right on the Greenbelt! And can we talk about the vintage View-Master for the dessert menu?! Such a fun little gimmick. The desserts look so vibrant through it, you almost HAVE to order one. Great drinks, delicious food, wonderful service and a clean, beautiful atmosphere. Clearly three visits won't be our last!

Overall, I would probably not go out of my way to eat at this location but it may have just been an off night.

Excellent food | great service…read more We stumbled upon this place last minute on our road trip. This place had high ratings, so we figured we would give this a try and order pick up on Doordash. We ordered spring rolls, general chicken, pad thai, and drunken noodle. All mild spice and no egg (food allergy). I had my husband to go in and check our order was received after no confirmation on DoorDash. The lady apologized and was quick to give us complimentary gyoza - wow! Our order was ready within 20 minutes. Everything was delicious!! I'm so happy we ordered our food from here. There was so much drunken noodle that I saved it for leftovers. The general chicken is excellent with a light crispy batter. The chicken in our dishes are not dry. I'm very happy and will return here if we find ourselves visiting Boise.

Menu was full of interesting taco flavors. Not your normal beef, pork and fish, but each one had a interesting combination of ingredients. They were out of the fish tacos when we went. Long story short, we ordered a few different tacos and our take was that the tacos were tasty. Some of the flavors didn't quite hit as we hoped but nothing tasted bad. Drinks were pretty solid. Overall, pretty good taste. If you're in the mood for some upscale interesting tacos then give this place a shot.
