Lady was by no means thrilled to take our order. Also, personally i like veggies on my salad and…read morethe salad has no veggies and dried ramen and is drenched in sauce. Salmon was ok but dry but since it was covered in sauce couldn't tell as much. Maybe opt for normal bento if you want any veggies and not dried ramen. Felt rushed to order even though there was no one behind us in line. Did not want to answer questions suggestion of ginger sauce is good but shouldn't be called a salad. 30 bux for 2 entrees kiddo had veggies at least.

Met a friend at Zen Bento for lunch and ordered a Chicken Bento Bowl with Teriyaki Sauce and…read moreNoodles instead of rice. My friend ordered a chicken salad. The wait time was short and there was plenty of open seating. The dining room felt clean, but nothing remarkable about it. They have a handful of 2 and 4 top tables to choose from. Then one long table with lots of to-go bags and some to-go utensils. My bento bowl was okay. Good amount of chicken, but I would have preferred a better vegetable to noodle ratio. There was definitely an abundance of noodles, which is filling, but it could have used some more veggies. I would also have liked a little more sauce on my bowl as well. The chicken was a little dry without enough sauce on it. My friend's salad was delicious and she raved about how good it was. I appreciate that they put the salad dressing in the side so you can control how much you want. Next time, I will definitely opt for a salad over a bento bowl.

If you are looking for the absolute WORST sushi experience in the entire Treasure Valley,…read morecongratulations, you found it. I have never dealt with such atrocious service & their Sushi was subpar at best & that's being generous. Right out of the gate, it was a total disaster. The waitress brought absolutely nothing to the table--no utensils, no ginger, no wasabi, nothing. You know, the standard basics that literally every other sushi joint on the planet drops off on autopilot? We had to literally request every single item just to physically eat our meal. Then came the food--or whatever you want to call it. I specifically asked if I could swap tuna for yellowtail and asked about getting what I actually liked instead of just settling for "chef's choice." They completely ignored me & brought the exact opposite of what I ordered. Nothing we got was correct. My guest ordered a lobster and fish roll, and they handed her a plate of literal, unidentifiable mush. There were no actual pieces of fish or lobster to be found anywhere in it. Just mush. And the scam they pulled with the ikura was unbelievable. I ordered two portions, which is supposed to be four pieces total, which again is commonly standard at any other Sushi restaurant. Instead, they brought out two pieces. When I pointed it out, the manager actually came over to our table to argue with me, insisting I was going to be charged full price for half the food. Literally $5ea for 1 piece of Sashimi that tasted like shit. Outside of the painfully incompetent service and the manager's garbage attitude, the fish had no flavor, They didn't even bring out all the food we ordered, but we were so fed up and disgusted by that point that we just paid the bill and walked out. I don't know if this is how they run their business every single day, but it was bad enough to warrant this warning. There are plenty of incredible sushi spots around here. Do not waste your time or your money at this absolute trainwreck of a restaurant. I guarantee I will never step foot in this place again.

Our server was a guy, but the owner Doris is the one who made our dinner special. She is sweet and when we told her we are celebrating a birthday and graduation, they brought us a tempura batter fried banana with whipped cream. It was delicious!! I ordered the Garlic Beef. It came out on a hot stone plate and it was yummy. My son got the Chicken yaki udon. It had some crunchy green bell peppers and bean sprouts too. My son loved it. Hubby ordered mango chicken. After the meal, we bought the cutest restaurant sushi tee shirts. Thank you Doris for the food, the awesome service, and making us feel special.

I have NEVER been so excited to write a review in my entire life!…read more OK so it was like 8:15 pm and I decided I had to have this sushi burrito thing that I saw on the TikTok. That's right the TikTok... I'm not embarrassed to say it. Order it through GrubHub and I had like 10 minutes left to get my order in. I'm not really wanting to order things online because it's just expensive. Sorry GrubHub. Anyways... My food arrived by the door. Picture... Me running to my bedroom with my bag of goodies. I was skeptical, of course. Who's ever had sushi burrito before in Idaho?! I took one bite...ONE BITE...I instantly fell in love with whomever made it. It's the California roll and I asked for extra cream cheese, daikon and lemon. My taste buds are still dancing and won't shut up about it! ! An explosion of flavors that I haven't had in any sushi place here in Boise! I'm not kidding not one bit. I also ordered the edamame and wontons which were both good...I think...ummmm my brain keeps going back to that burrito. So it's a gigantic sushi adventure filled to the rim with what you ordered, unlike a regular normal tiny itsy bitsy roll. Are you picturing this?? Can you feel and taste the happiness? No? You better hurry up and go there. I mean...HURRY UP LIKE NOW! You don't want to take the risk that I ordered a few more from them and they ran out! THANKS GUYS! Can't wait to come in to visit you and order in person! Absolutely fantastic. Order how I ordered it....SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! Ok bye.

I come on special occasions and it's been a favorite with those not familiar with asian cuisine. Plenty of vegetable, fruits, seafood, meats and desserts available to pick from. You start with choosing your broth and ordering sides/drinks. Service can be hit or miss depending on how busy they are, Plenty of seating for everyone. Recently it seems Umi has been closed temporarily multiple times. Hoping they can figure out hours soon so I can return. The overall vibe of the place is very moody but not crazy dark, pricing is on the mid to high end for dinner but the meat choices are worth it.

The add ons for the soup are extensive so you can 100% customize your own bowl. What I see as a down side is that the tables since they have the spots for the hot soup, do not leave any extra room for anything else. Also, you can take leftovers, but you will be charged for extra. $6.99 if you want to take your soup home and then they price anything extra, like from the bar, on how much you get. So I wonder if you can get around this if you bring your own Tupperware.
