    Beef Bento with Ginger dressing.
    Jan L.

    Hungry for lunch or dinner...this is a good solution. Fresh food, tasty, reasonable mix of vegetables and meat. Although the pictures shows a lid, there are tables to eat your food at within or without if the weather is nice. I was satisfied with my portion size and it was a good, fresh tasting lunch.

    We are excited to have Zen Bento in the neighborhood. We have enjoyed the downtown location for a long time. Now we have them closer to home! We ordered the spicy poke and the chicken with extra vegies. We enjoyed the Zen, Ginger Soy, and Kamikazi sauces with oir bowls. Both bowls were very tasty. The food is clean and fresh and that is the huge difference maker. The different sauces that are available make it fun to mix and match. I highly recommend this place to anybody looking for healthy, clean, fresh food. Cheers Always!

    Wife loves the salmon bento - low cal, ginger soy dressing. I end up going to Apple St. location because they are open until 6. Yum.

    Hard to believe that I've now been coming here for 15 years! Boise staple, glad they're still around with a closer location to my house!

    Questionable cleanliness of work area and food handling. High prices for low quality food and poor presentation.

    An Absolute Gem! Don't let the exterior or the entryway fool…read moreyou--once you're inside and sat down, you're in for an incredible meal. 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.
