(Meridian location) Can't believe it took me a year to find this place. It's authentic Japanese food that's reasonably priced. Tried Chicken Katsu and Short Ribs with white rice and veggies. LOVED the short ribs-marinated just right and the meat tender. I know I will be frequenting this place regularly to try various dishes. They also have a location on Vista Ave in Boise, but reviews I read preferred the Meridian one-has indoor and outdoor seating areas). Sharing lots of photos to answer most of your questions.

Gave them another shot today with some chicken katsu. Meh. The chicken was tasteless, the brown rice was undercooked and the steamed veggies tasted way over salted. I probably won't be back here unfortunately. The prices are good, but still. For $10, my tastebuds should be a little more satisfied then they were. What was weird was last time the service was the reason for my 3 star review. This time it's the food. Can they ever hit both? Is third time really a charm? Maybe, but there are so many delicious eateries off Vista, I would be wasting my time at this point.

this place is awesome. nice workers and great service. food is great too. my favorite is the yokozuna bowl. always a good time here!

Lunch time plus the BEST boba in Boise!

Some of the best teriyaki and katsu around... that should be enough for a great review. However, there is definitely more. Their boba is not only the best that I have found in Boise... they have an extensive (like crazy packed) list of flavors. My go to is pineapple, but have tried the green tea, lavendar, bahama mama and quite a few others too. All are great. Recently, they added yogurt boba too. They are basically flavor bursts popping bobas. They'll let you yrt them if you haven't had them, so be sure to ask.

I'm very happy the Genki food truck exists! I have fun finding them staged around Boise and…read moregrabbing some delicious takoyaki. It's rather difficult, if not almost impossible, to find delicious, authentic Japanese cuisine in the Treasure Valley. This small food cart is an Idaho gem. I've tried several of their food items, however this review will focus on their namesake dish, takoyaki (octopus ball). For those who don't know, takoyaki is a popular Japanese street food with bits of chopped octopus and dough inside a slightly crispy shell garnished with takoyaki sauce. I was very happy with how similar the snack tastes to the ones I've had in Japan. Genki serves these in 6 pieces ($6) and there are several sauces available. I like to top mine with sriracha to add a kick. It's a wonderful mid evening snack! My only complaint is on a couple visits I found my takoyaki to be rather old tasting, like either the oil hadn't been changed in a while or the octopus was overdue. It's happened less times than more so I'll still continue to eat this unless it becomes more frequent. Genki use to be very active on the Street Food Finder app but this summer they seem to limit their postings to Facebook and Instagram, so if you want to find them you'll have to go either of those routes.

Of course I had to try both. 6 dumplings made for a big snack or a small meal. I would have preferred them slightly more crispy, but that's an easy fix if you ask. Topped with bonito flakes, Japanese mayo, and teriyaki sauce for a nice mix of savory and sweet flavors. The pricing doesn't make a whole lot of sense: $4 for 4, 5$ for 6, $7 for 8. Sort of de-incentivizing ppl from going for 8. Just a thought.

Raibu is a small, but upscale sushi restaurant in the Boise Co-op shopping Center, downtown…read more It's a new Boise gem. I enjoyed it so much, I hesitate to celebrate it on this platform, for fear of it becoming so popular that it becomes difficult to get a reservation. The staff was kind and inviting, eager to please, and at the too of their game. They were quick to seat us and get our drinks, happy to help is understand some of the ingredients, and offer recommendations. We started with Chicken Karrage, then ordered some Signature Sushi Rolls. I went with the Keiko roll, even though I was a bit concerned about the spice (I asked them to take out the jalapeños). It was incredibly delicious. The full flavor hit me right away, and the heat got me at the end. Not unbearable though. I ate the whole thing! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his North Ender Roll, then we got the Mochi in three glorious flavors. Mango, green tea, and strawberry. Strawberry was my favorite. I'm so thrilled to finally have a high-quality sushi bar in Boise!!!

We did not have…read morereservations, but they were able to seat us right at the sushi bar (where we wanted to sit anyways). Our waitress was informative, polite, and down to earth! The sushi chefs were super nice. The one taught us how they cut the cucumber (Japanese technique as well as American / or easy way lol!) Had miso soup as well. I will be back! So happy to have a variety of superb and high end sushi in Boise. I highly recommend.... Don't be intimated. It may look "fancy" but they are super down to earth employees, with a fancy menu. They explain it thoroughly though!

We had a fantastic time at Tepanyaki Japanese Steak House! Chef Lam was the star of the show; his entertainment while prepping and cooking was top-notch and kept us smiling and laughing the whole time. As for the food, every single bite was flavored and cooked to perfection. The fried rice, vegetables, shrimp, scallops, chicken, and filet mignon were all outstanding. If you're looking for high-quality food at a reasonable price and that classic, high-energy hibachi experience, this is the place to be. We'll definitely be back!

Oops. This was our go to for teppanyaki in Boise, not any more…read more The chef came out and was obviously in a hurry. Less than 5 minutes and we had our fried rice in the bowls. The chicken came out pre cut into cubes and obviously pre cooked. Or at least par cooked. The shrimp looked pre cooked as well. Lots of talking but very little cooking at the table. Re-heated chicken is never good. The table next to us had the food started 20 minutes before us and kept going for at least 20 minutes after our chef was done. The steak was hard to chew and like I said the chicken was reheated. Too bad. Next time I will spend a little more $ and have something I want from the place on Fairview.
