    Gyoza was amazing and the dipping sauce had so much flavor! A must try!
    Amy N.

    We finally tried Raibu Sushi, tucked away in the Boise Co-op shopping center, and wow... this place absolutely blew us away. Hands down, the best sushi we've ever had, and we cannot wait to go back. This is an upscale sushi experience without feeling stuffy. The service was superior, and the food came out shockingly fast, in the best way. We started with miso soup that had a generous amount of seaweed and tofu, then ordered the gyoza (you get six). They were cooked perfectly, and the dipping sauce was incredible with just the right amount of spice. We almost ordered another round but somehow resisted. Next came the otoro nigiri (fatty tuna) and salmon sashimi, both completely melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Then we tried the Raibu Roll, topped with torched, smoky-flavored wagyu, sturgeon caviar from Hagerman, Idaho, and gold dust. It was stunning to look at and even better to eat, truly unforgettable. The Boise Roll was our other choice, with lobster and spicy tuna. It's lightly fried, not heavily deep-fried like many places, so it adds a bit of crunch without overpowering the fish. You can really taste the quality here. The wasabi is freshly grated, not the tube stuff, and the ginger tasted house-pickled instead of the typical pink version. They were busy on a Monday night around 7 pm, but we had reservations and were seated right away. The restaurant itself is small, intimate, and dimly lit, making it a perfect date night spot. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. We can't wait to return.

    Menu font is way too small.

    My husband and I dined at Raibu Sushi last night and loved the food! This is our first sushi experience since moving to ID from NorCal a year ago and it is on point with great sushi restaurants we've eaten at previously. We had Edamame, hamachi, octopus, Boise roll and Stanley roll, plus a bottle of Chardonnay! Our favorite was the Boise roll. All the fish is very fresh with no odor. The restaurant decor is modern and very well done and incorporates multiple elements including wood, fabric, glass and what appeared to be cement or stucco behind the sushi bar. The vibe was upbeat and fun. All the waitresses we encountered were super helpful and friendly. Restrooms were clean but there was no signage on the doors (there were two) which was a little confusing. Our comments or suggestions for improvement are 1. Check the soy sauce pitchers on the tables before seating a new party- ours was empty. 2. Bring or offer to bring ginger and wasabi if parties are ordering sushi; we had to ask for it. 3. A drop of wasabi the size of a garbanzo bean is not enough! Increase the size of the wasabi portion. 4. THE MENU PRINT! I'm attaching photos but we literally couldn't read it. Font size was 8 or smaller and in low light it was extremely hard to read even with our mobile phone light. We asked the waitress if there were reading glasses available and she said not yet but the owners had ordered some! We suspect you were trying to keep the menu to one page but take the plunge and make the font bigger and make it 2-3 pages! 5. Octopus dish- lightly seared but we felt it should've been cooked more? Maybe this was a different type of octopus than we've eaten before. 6.wine selection - great start but can you offer a few more Chardonnay selections? There was one by the glass and a second selection by the bottle. Note: menu price on the bottle was $145.00 and when our bill came we noted it was charged at $155,00, so we asked our waitress to adjust this, which she did. 7. Sushi rolls: can you offer more selections with seared tuna? It's such a great fish for rolls and we would love more choices that contain tuna. 8. The 3% charge to use a credit card for the bill - we understand you pay a fee to process credit cards, but it would be good to post this info on your website so customers can bring cash if they don't want to pay the fee. We would've paid in cash if we had known. We thoroughly enjoyed our Raibu experience and will be back. Our waitress was wonderful and we appreciate the great food and great service!

    Finally! A high end sushi restaurant and Japanese steakhouse. This is not your typical Idaho California roll; this is fresh sashimi, wagyu, and flavorful rolls. Our servers were very nice and food came out pretty fast! The menu is the perfect size, not doing too much. Would recommend for a celebratory evening!

    A mixed plate of nigiri (akami, chutoro, otoro, shiro maguro, hamachi belly, and beni toro).

    This is the best sushi my wife and I have had in 3 years since moving from Hawaii. The sushi is very authentic and fresh. The atmosphere is very mellow and intimate without felling crowded or small. The sushi chefs prepared us the best sushi we have had in the Treasure Valley and we hunt for good sushi places.

    The Omakase experience is so fun. The different varieties of fish were amazing and I looked forward to each bite. I did go another time just for basic sushi rolls after my Omakase experience and I would say the sushi rolls could use some work as they aren't the best that I've had, but they are still very solid and this is a great sushi spot and addition to Boise.

    Raibu has provided Boise an evolving and modern food scene that provides diverse eats and refreshing cuisine. I went here over a month ago and genuinely loved the service, environment and intimate space. It can get loud with how small the space is, however still a great setting for various types of reservations. Food was delicious although the yakitori could be more grilled. Oysters were a hit as the garnishes weren't overwhelming the natural taste of the oyster itself. They portioned it just right. Although the food was great quality, the price has led me to make this an occasional place to eat. This is just a personal preference and should not stop anyone from going to experience this place!:) What stood out was that they are the first place to do Omakase in our city from what I know growing up here which is so exciting. For that experience alone, it would be a wonderful place to experience and try out. In the end, again personally, I would be just as content to go somewhere more cost-affordable with just as amazing quality like Fujiyama in Meridian or the authenticity of Wasabi.

    Sake  and tuna belly nigiri
    Amy A.

    I was so excited to try this place that we made reservations for a Sunday dinner. We were greeted promptly and give a small table in the corner. The high top table was unleavened like you'd expectation a fast food restaurant. The pork belly appetizer was nicely done. My sake nigiri was good but the tuna belly was not fresh and had a grainy texture and both orders of nigiri were room temperature. My husband ordered a California roll that had a strong fishy taste that was odd. For the price point and hype I excepted better. Our server seemed overwhelmed and didn't check in for drinks or to see how our meal was. We finally went to the hostess to pay. Hopefully they will live up to their marketed expectations.

    Best oysters in all of Idaho! I had given up on Oysters in Idaho until now. The sushi menu is curated to bring flavor. Each roll had a unique flavor. We loved them all! I recommend the Gaijin and Stanley roll if you like a lot of flavor. Great design in a quaint little venue.

And honestly? We keep coming back. I know everyone compares it to Ahi because there really aren't that many sushi places in Eagle, but they fill different moods for us. Ahi feels more like somewhere you go for a quieter dinner or work conversation. Glory is where we go when we want an easy 45-minute lunch without making it a whole event. Their lunch bento boxes are super affordable, portions are solid, and we've never had trouble getting seated quickly. It's casual, low-pressure, and easy to pop into in the middle of the day. No long wait, no complicated parking situation, no "do we need a reservation?" discussion. We've gone quite a few times now and it's become one of those reliable local spots when you just want a quick sushi lunch that doesn't destroy your budget. For Eagle especially, that alone makes it worth supporting.

    If you are looking for the absolute WORST sushi experience in the entire Treasure Valley,…read morecongratulations, you found it. I have never dealt with such atrocious service & their Sushi was subpar at best & that's being generous. Right out of the gate, it was a total disaster. The waitress brought absolutely nothing to the table--no utensils, no ginger, no wasabi, nothing. You know, the standard basics that literally every other sushi joint on the planet drops off on autopilot? We had to literally request every single item just to physically eat our meal. Then came the food--or whatever you want to call it. I specifically asked if I could swap tuna for yellowtail and asked about getting what I actually liked instead of just settling for "chef's choice." They completely ignored me & brought the exact opposite of what I ordered. Nothing we got was correct. My guest ordered a lobster and fish roll, and they handed her a plate of literal, unidentifiable mush. There were no actual pieces of fish or lobster to be found anywhere in it. Just mush. And the scam they pulled with the ikura was unbelievable. I ordered two portions, which is supposed to be four pieces total, which again is commonly standard at any other Sushi restaurant. Instead, they brought out two pieces. When I pointed it out, the manager actually came over to our table to argue with me, insisting I was going to be charged full price for half the food. Literally $5ea for 1 piece of Sashimi that tasted like shit. Outside of the painfully incompetent service and the manager's garbage attitude, the fish had no flavor, They didn't even bring out all the food we ordered, but we were so fed up and disgusted by that point that we just paid the bill and walked out. I don't know if this is how they run their business every single day, but it was bad enough to warrant this warning. There are plenty of incredible sushi spots around here. Do not waste your time or your money at this absolute trainwreck of a restaurant. I guarantee I will never step foot in this place again.
