    Inside out: parking is easy, in a shopping complex at the end. The inside is modern decor but it gets loud fast as there doesn't seem to be much noise dampening from the design. If you have sensory issue with sound- bring loops or ear protection if it's busy. Service: Standard and nice! Food: Delicious! I did the pineapple curry as spicy as it could go and it wasn't too spicy for me, but I'm a monster. The portions are generous and the food tasted fresh! My family got sweet and sour something and said it was a little spicy for them but they are very low spice tolerance. Over all I say it's a great place, maybe not the best for a date when it's busy because conversations may be difficult, but it's clean and lovely!

    We really enjoyed our food at this restaurant. They cooked it very quickly, and the owner even came out to greet us. Food tasted great. The lady who waited on us was very helpful. Definitely Two thumbs up.

    Very enjoyable, green curry chicken, three stars for dinner at Thai Bistro. Tuesday night dinner had a small crowd. Place is clean and bright at the end of mall by the DQ. Green curry was creamy and packed full of flavor. More rice than many other places serve. Price was about $16 and well worth it! Will come again for sure!!

    This is the best Thai restaurant in Boise! The staff is friendly, the restaurant is extremely clean. The food is like you're traveling to Thai Land. The Red Curry was just as good as having it across the world. I will definitely be back! I give this place 5 stars! If you like Thai coffee don't skip the deliciousness!!

    Never disappointed. Love their combo chicken and Thai papaya Lao style salad. So good

    Every year in April after the MS Walk we come to the Yard House for lunch. The walk is at the park…read moreright behind the Village. This year wasn't any different. We finished our walk and made our way to the restaurant. This will be our 6th year having lunch here. Trying to keep our traditions alive. As a courtesy, we called the day before to let management know that they will be expecting a party of 20. This joint charges 30 bucks per person for reservations as a deposit. 30 bucks?!? It's quite humorous really, 30 dollar deposit is more than a majority of their meals they charge. The manager on duty last year told us to call to let them know for a heads up but not necessarily make a reservation. And of course that manager doesn't work there anymore. The manager I spoke with was a complete joke. "Saturday is our busiest day". We'll, if it's your busiest day than why aren't you properly staffed? "We can't just serve you in 2 seconds". Never have I asked to be served in 2 seconds. What kind of management team do you have running this joint? Clearly unprofessional clowns. We showed up at opening. Clearly I wasn't taken seriously since the hostess had no clue about our large party coming. No tables were set up. "You should have came at 11:30". I didn't know that we had to accommodate to the manager and his timing. He set up our tables and didn't even bother with us the whole time we were there. Food was good. I had the salmon. I had asked for my salmon to be overly cooked. With my new kidney, I can't have anything like fish and beef rare. My fish was not cooked the way I asked and had to be sent back. I expressed to the server if needed out more than well done. So honestly, I don't think the cook took my request seriously. Last year eating at the restaurant was a crap show. This year is a bigger crap show. So many better restaurants in town that don't have this ridiculous reservation fee and yet this joint does. Management here is on the same tier as a trash can. Honestly, after this last visit, we might consider going to another joint to start a new tradition. My family and our money is worth more than the disrespect management gave us.

    I've been to the new Freshii at Boise State twice since it opened. The first time, a few days after…read moretheir initial opening, I was pretty unimpressed. The menu displays weren't working so customers got to pass around a few paper menus. I chose the Tex-Mex burrito with chicken, which cost me nearly $10. Here's the thing about Freshii - the burritos have a base price, and then you pay extra for any sort of protein filling, be it chicken, falafel, tofu, et cetera. Around 10 minutes later, I received my burrito and found myself entering a land of fresh disappointment. The chicken was cold and mushy, the tortilla cold and tough, and the whole thing generally lacked in flavor. On top of this, it was small, consisting mostly of scrunched up tortilla. For the same price, I could get something similar from Chipotle (I'm not a huge Chipotle fan but it's the closest local analog I can think of) WITH added guacamole and it would be about three times as large, usually lasting me two meals. I chalked this up as a possible opening week glitch and decided to try it again a couple of weeks later. Here I sit, exactly two weeks later, contemplating another cold, small, depressing burrito. I opted for the baja burrito with chicken, totaling an astounding $8.99. Again, the burrito is cold. The chicken is cold. There's some sort of sauce on it that only adds a flaccid moisture, not any flavor. I am a sad panda. The burrito is a bit bigger this time, maybe half the size of a Chipotle burrito, but that seems to make it feel even more depressing. This location used to be a Subway and, while I like Subway even less than Chipotle, I find myself wishing it was back; at least the hot food was hot.

You can truly taste how fresh the ingredients are -- bright herbs, perfectly balanced sauces, and flavors that taste authentic and thoughtfully prepared. I grew up helping at my mom's Thai restaurant when I was young, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to Thai food. This place exceeded my expectations. The flavors brought me back -- fresh, vibrant, and made with care. We ordered: * Pad Thai * Mango Salad * Seafood Soup * Yellow Curry * Fried Chicken with Sticky Rice * Thai Tea The Pad Thai was perfectly seasoned with great texture. The mango salad was fresh and crisp with amazing balance. The seafood soup was rich and comforting. The yellow curry was smooth, flavorful, and not overly heavy. The fried chicken with sticky rice was crispy, tender, and so satisfying. And the Thai tea? Absolutely perfect. On top of the incredible food, the service was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The mix of Thai and Burmese dishes really sets it apart from other places in town. The food was overall really flavorful dishes like khao soi papaya salad and other northern Thai dishes , and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. The flavors feel more traditional compared to a lot of Thai spots around here. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, which gives it a cozy vibe, but it can feel a little tight and busy during peak hours, so it's not the best place for big groups unless you plan ahead. Service was friendly and welcoming, and food came out pretty quickly even when it was busy. Overall, it's a great spot for quality Thai food in Boise. definitely one of the places I'd come back to when I want something more authentic and a little different.

I wasn't going to make the same mistake as my last visit and order the large bowl. I ordered the medium chicken pho. The cha gio came out hot! They were crispy and flavorful! To be honest, the filling to wrapper ratio was off and they were pretty small. You also got 1 piece of lettuce for your egg rolls. They were decent but not for the price of 7 bucks. My pho looked beautiful. The broth was clean and clear. There were nice pieces of chicken and a good amount of noodles. I just wish the broth was a little hotter. It was hot like it's been sitting on a flame but not pipping how like they boiled it before they poured it into my bowl. Overall, service was good and food was decent. I'm pretty sure I'll be back and have another bowl of pho.

But I rolled my dice today and took my chances and decided to head in. I sat myself. My server was handling a table but came to my table after. Dropped off a menu but this girl knew that she wanted. I did notice that they have size options for their pho now. To be honest, they are pricey compared to other joints. And their portions sizes do run smaller as well. I went with the large chicken pho today. Mannnnnn, the bowl that came out was massive! It was piping hot! The broth was clear. It was sprinkled with cilantro and onion. It looked like a delicious bowl of pho. The broth was savory and rich. The noodles were cooked perfectly! It still had softness to it will a slight bite. I added the basil, Sriracha and a little extra fish sauce. It was hard for me not to consume all the broth. The amount of noodles you get as a large here is a regular bowl at other joints. Today was the right amount I needed. This bowl was warm on my soul. The chicken was tender and not overly cooked. You get a good amount of chicken breast. Sriracha and hoisin sauce is the perfect dipping sauce for the chicken. Today's visit and my last visit was black and white. My server did a great job taking care of me today. The venue is also decorated for fall which was fun! I am stuffed to the brim. I enjoyed every bite of my bowl today. Now that it's getting colder, I will be seeing myself here quite often. Looking forward to mu next big bowl!
