Shiok! Ridiculously Delicious - House Pan Fried Crispy Noodles

Shiok really is a ridiculously delicious hidden desert gem! You would drive past it if you didn't…read moreknow it was there! I'm in town for a few weeks and received a $5 off voucher from my hotel. 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.

I've been to Ling & Louie's three times now, and what's not to love?! The menu has a little…read moresomething for everyone--from sushi to orange chicken--which works perfectly since I'm a sushi lover and hubs sadly is NOT. 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!

I'm a bit on the fence for this review. The food was ok but not as good as what we have experienced…read moreat the Meridian, Id location. I had the general lings and my wife had the orange chicken. Both meals the chicken seemed a bit dry and not as flavorful. The service was great and fairly fast given it was busy for a Sunday night. I would also add the location was a bit noisier than the other location. Might be due to the layout. Overall, I would probably not go out of my way to eat at this location but it may have just been an off night.
