Bao Boi is so fun! The concept is Bao buns, they also have various bowls like a teriyaki bowl, or a…read morechicken bowl, along with a couple of side, salads and traditional soup like miso. The restaurant is right off of a new development on the Green belt in Garden City and you can hear the water from the restaurant. They open the side of it so it gets fresh air. It just feels really refreshing and new. The buns were really good. I ordered the classic pork bun and the teriyaki bun. The lunch special is pretty reasonably priced I would say. I think it's a great new addition to the Greenbelt and the Boise community. I can't wait for more people to check it out. The service is good. The food comes out quick and it was really fresh and juicy. A fun new concept on the green belt. You have to stop by!

Another unique addition to Garden City!…read more Food: 4/5. The menu is different than what is online and seems to change often as they try new things. They didn't have the lumpia, but had croquettes instead which were absolutely delicious and highly recommended. We also tried 6 different bao and I think the Nashville Hot was probably my favorite. All of them tasted pretty good though. We were a little disappointed they didn't have desserts but they said they are hoping to add some. Service: 3/5. At first , we got our items quickly since we were one of the few groups there but once other groups started to arrive it took a long time to get anything that we had ordered. It also seemed like the waitress was late so one of the cooks had to fill in and take orders. Atmosphere: 4/5. The weather was nice so we were able to sit on the patio along the greenbelt. It is a good vibe and relaxing to sit outdoors. As the area gets more developed with the other additions currently under construction I think it will be a really cool atmosphere.

We normally have a great experience so hoping to update this review in the future. Our service was…read moreterrible today, it is Mother's Day but it was not busy (maybe 4 full tables total inside/outside). The server was rude and treated us like any question or order we had was an inconvenience to her. She didn't give us menus for about 15 min, upset when we asked for chopsticks when our food came out, upset when we asked for low sodium soy sauce and frustrated when we asked for soy sauce saucers (little plates). She spent some time talking with another table and kept joking with them that they're not even her table. For reference, we have never been served by her before and come often. We waited a long time for our check too which isn't a deal breaker. Overall just a crummy experience and hoping management sees this to help train any new staff.

Mai Thai has gone through a lot. There was the kitchen fire in November 2023 that closed down the…read morepopular downtown Boise eatery. Days later, the city condemned the entire building, saying that a seemingly never-ending project by the building's owner to replace a basement floor had rendered the building unsafe. What had been expected to be a two-month closure has lingered for nearly two years as the building owner and the city have fought in court to get the building made safe again. As a result, Mai Thai, which had operated in the Union Block for 20 years has been largely homeless for nearly two years. They reopened at the kitchen of the defunct Crave delivery service in Meridian, a ghost kitchen concept, offering takeout and delivery far from the restaurant's Boise base. In early August, Mai Thai opened at a Boise ghost kitchen, only it's owner Billy Pothikamjorn and his staff running the place, not contacted workers with no ties to the actual restaurant. Mai Thai was located close to our home in Boise's West End and its new location is even closer. It's located in the West End Food Co. on Main Street. We ordered Hat Yai fried chicken, street food from Thailand topped with crispy shallots and served with yellow curry, roti and ginger rice. I had drunken noodles and Kristy and I shared an order of paratha a type of roti bread) with Japanese pumpkin green curry. Everything was excellent. Pothikamjorn took my order and prepared the food, so I knew it was going to have the same quality as when they were in their downtown location. Service is mostly restricted to takeout and free delivery if you live within a six-mile radius. There's a few tables outside, but it's on the sunny side of the street and during the hot summer likely isn't too inviting. I'm glad to see Billy and his crew back in Boise. They were among the restaurants that sustained us during Covid with their home delivery so we're happy they've persevered despite the troubles at their former location.

Came here on a Tuesday night with a party of 2 since hot soup is the perfect meal for cold weather…read more It was relatively empty; there was only one other customer. The service was quick and friendly! The interior is not really my taste - it felt like a teenaged boy's room. There's a lot of anime posters and Japanese artwork, so definitely driving in the Japan/anime especially with the artwork outside the storefront. The menus look like they need an update since it was pretty worn down and barely held together by a taped up binder ring. We ordered veggie egg rolls to share and I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen. The egg rolls were ok. The ramen was also ok - nothing impressive. The soup was ok, but not as creamy or rich as I prefer tonkotsu to be. The chashu was dry and chewy, so it could've used more cooking time. The noodles had a great texture and the half boiled egg was delicious. I wish there were bamboo shoots as well but not a personal dealbreaker. All in all, it's an okay ramen restaurant that's on the affordable side.

My sister and I showed up first. We got sat at a round table and chilled until the rest of our party showed up. After everyone got there, we all checked out the menu. There wasn't a real organized system between the employees that served our table. It was a reservation for 5 but only 2 menus and 2 waters were initially dropped off. After everyone got there, 2 more waters were brought out but not the 5th glass that was missing. Then we got an over abundance of menus when we just needed a couple more. It was a rough start. We finally got to order appetizers and dinner. I got the Asparagus Delight with extra chicken. My sister ordered Pad See Ew. My cousin got the Khao Soi with rice noodles. The two other prom moms got General's chicken and a sushi roll. For starters we got the fried green beans and calamari. The wait on the appetizers seemed long. Nothing is more annoying than not being able to enjoy your starter cause your dinner was right behind it. 2 fried green beans were brought out. We had to call the server and ask about the calamari. We were confused if that was 1 appetizer of fried green beans split into 2 plates for easier sharing or if it was actually 2 orders. Well, it was 2 orders so the extra portion was taken back. The calamari did come out shortly but was fast considering we waited so long initially for the appetizers come out. I didn't try the appetizers but from what was being said the fried green beans were good and they have had better calamari. As fast as that calamari came out, I'm sure it was prepared quickly. Not taking the normal time to actually prepare something that could turn into rubber if it's not cooked properly. Dinner came out shortly. My dish looked really good. There was bright green pieces of asparagus. A few hearty chunks of cauliflower. I noticed quite a few shrimp and a decent amount of chicken. My dish was good. The veggies were fresh and crispy. The sauce was on the sweeter side but still tasted good. The shrimp was tender but did have a fishy scent to them. The chicken could have been velveted. It was white meat and we all know white meat can lean towards the drier side. I think velveting could have fixed that. I did ask for extra chicken and in all honesty I don't think I really got the extra I had ordered. Service was decent. The timing of the appetizers and food could be worked on. Some communication between employees would have been nice for more organization. I came here for lunch and wasn't impressed with portion sizes and I will have to say I wasn't impressed with the dinner portion either. It's cool that I got to come back and vibe with my family tonight. It was busy so it's great to see that people are out supporting their local Asian restaurant. I unfortunately have such a high bar set from my family and growing up in this industry. I really wish this place would have met my expectations the second time around.
