    First time here. Came here for my birthday dinner. Good service and the sushi was excellent. We will definitely be back.

    Food was absolutely amazing as well as the chefs and waitresses were so sweet and amazing, i never felt rushed and the chef made some roll specifically for me and my friend (it was slow during this time idk if they do that consistently). The place was also just beautiful. As well as cheap for the quality of food.

    Sugar Daddy (crab, shrimp, lettuce & cream cheese) and sauce drizzled.

    Lunch date with my daughter. Super fun, good food, great atmosphere, service and price. Shige and staff are always spot on.

    Shige sushi boats on Fridays and Saturdays!!!

    The boats are back!!! Friday and Saturday's! Remember, sushi the way you want it! Always great to have Shige himself, Deborah and the team are so caring and fun!! Awesome!

    I havent been to this place before and i will not be going again. The service was horrible, i asked a simple question of "how many sashimis would be in the assorted sashimi OVER RICE dish?" They gave out many different pieces of 8 12 16 so i chose 8. The food comes back and its on a big block of ice?? I had to ASK for the rice ?? And there was not even 8 pieces on there? I was more than furious. It seems like they dont even know their own menu. The place was rough didnt look as fancy as i thought it was going to be for the price i paid for 2 dishes. A roll and my sashimi. They charged me extra for my sashimi as well. 30$ for this? also the lady that works there is really passive aggressive.

    Service was great as usual, however I've been missing the Thursday boat rotary. We finally went and as excited as we were for rotary, we have to say it's not worth it!!! After reading reviews I should've said ok they can't be lying, but we wanted to experience. 2 pieces per plate at $3 each and small pieces was a disappointment. We ended up ordering from the menu because after 4 plates each we weren't even getting full. We'll probably return for their menu items, but rotary...never again :(

    I have NEVER been so excited to write a review in my entire life!…read more OK so it was like 8:15 pm and I decided I had to have this sushi burrito thing that I saw on the TikTok. That's right the TikTok... I'm not embarrassed to say it. Order it through GrubHub and I had like 10 minutes left to get my order in. I'm not really wanting to order things online because it's just expensive. Sorry GrubHub. Anyways... My food arrived by the door. Picture... Me running to my bedroom with my bag of goodies. I was skeptical, of course. Who's ever had sushi burrito before in Idaho?! I took one bite...ONE BITE...I instantly fell in love with whomever made it. It's the California roll and I asked for extra cream cheese, daikon and lemon. My taste buds are still dancing and won't shut up about it! ! An explosion of flavors that I haven't had in any sushi place here in Boise! I'm not kidding not one bit. I also ordered the edamame and wontons which were both good...I think...ummmm my brain keeps going back to that burrito. So it's a gigantic sushi adventure filled to the rim with what you ordered, unlike a regular normal tiny itsy bitsy roll. Are you picturing this?? Can you feel and taste the happiness? No? You better hurry up and go there. I mean...HURRY UP LIKE NOW! You don't want to take the risk that I ordered a few more from them and they ran out! THANKS GUYS! Can't wait to come in to visit you and order in person! Absolutely fantastic. Order how I ordered it....SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! Ok bye.

    Service was good. The poke' appeared fresh but was not necessarily as fresh tasting and the veggie…read moreselection was really good. The sauce was a little strange and it seemed like a hodgepodge of various cultural sauces. The noodles were the best dish I tried and it was stir fried well with lots of veggies. Huge portion and it can feed 2 or more. The veggie ramen was ok and it tasted out of a box. I think someone wrote the food tasted like it was out of a mall. I would agree. Quality was pretty sub par, and presentation was really nice and the ambiance cozy. I think that this restaurant has potential. If some of the ingredients were upgraded it would easily make a difference. I live in Seattle and there is lots of poke' and chains like Sam Choy. I would suggest marinating the poke first to give it a nice flavor profile. Just some thoughts. Thank you!

    We came here tonight, a Wednesday, for a belated Mother's Day. First visit for us, though our…read moredaughter has been here several times before. We were sat at a nice booth right away. Our server, MJ, did a really great job taking care of us. She was nice, friendly, helpful, and attentive. Our daughter had the Unicorn sushi roll with a side of edamame, my wife had a bowl of clam chowder and the shrimp scampi, and I had the fish and chips (cod; they also offer salmon and halibut, but the halibut, which I would have liked, was double the price at $38). For dessert, we shared the key lime pie. My wife said the clam chowder was OK, but more potatoes than clams. She did like her scampi. Our daughter liked the sushi roll. And, I liked the beer battered cod with the tartar sauce, and their fries were nicely seasoned and fairly crispy ( a little crispier would have been nice). The key lime pie had a rougher texture; I like it more creamy. Still good, though. I liked the exterior of the building. Red brick, arched windows that have a Mediterranean feel, and an exterior staircase that gives a bit of an industrial vibe. I thought it would be a little more upscale inside, but it is more basic wood tables and booths. There is a patio area, and it looks like there is an upstairs patio or dining area as well. All in all, a good first experience. We will definitely return.

    This was our second visit and it didn't quite live up to the legendary status of the first visit…read more Not sure if it the table, time, service, or portions, but it lacked that specialness that existed on our first WoW visit. We'll give it Lucky Fins another chance and hopefully we won't be unlucky.

The fish is so fresh! You can really taste the quality in every bite. But what really makes this place special is the amazing service. Ozzy and Eddy are so friendly and welcoming, they'll take care of you every week! The prices are unbeatable, especially during lunch, which makes it an even better spot whether you're just looking for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. The interior has a cozy feel with a modern touch, making it a great place to unwind. Plus, parking is super convenient, and it's located in a fantastic shopping area, perfect for making a whole outing out of your visit.

We went with friends and between the 6 of us got a plethora of Asian food offerings. Ramen, broccoli beef, king pao, and 5 or six different sushi rolls. Everything was top notch. Our server was around often, though that might be because they got us one thing at a time. Like 3 of us wanted refills on drinks, so he came back three separate times because he saw one cup empty, asked if we wanted a refill, and walked off before anyone else could also say yes. Other than that we had no complaints and left the restaurant full and happy! Already planning the next dinner out.
