Their self-serve bar has a decent selection, but compared to most hot pot places outside of Idaho, they could expand it more. It would be nice to see more variety! The meat selection is great, with plenty to choose from, even if nothing feels super unique. They also offer sushi as an add-on for an extra charge. Out of the four rolls available, only one really stands out as worth ordering. A big bonus is the drinks, they're included in the AYCE price, and there's a huge selection, including Thai tea and milk tea, which is pretty uncommon for AYCE spots.

There was nothing that really stood out, in my opinion. The food was just okay. I found all of the sauces to be pretty lack luster (agedashi tofu sauce, salad dressing, and tempura sauce) . It may have been a slow day, there were only about 4-5 tables of customers other than us. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, we actually had to try to make eye contact a few times just to get refills on our water. The restaurant itself was clean and there's a decent amount of space on the inside. I won't say that I would never come back. But it's not a place I would purposely revisit either.

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.

We had ordered appetizers and some of us received the food, others (like us) just sat there while others ate. Had to (once again) to ask for our order and got the "it will be up in a minute" response. Finally, the orders started arriving, but only after a person in our party spoke with someone (other than the waiter) about service and food. The food was, like the service, mediocre at best. Soup was tepid at best, and the shrimp & scallops of the dinner were nearly floating in the "run off" of the veggies! Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
