Bao Boi is so fun! The concept is Bao buns, they also have various bowls like a teriyaki bowl, or a…read morechicken bowl, along with a couple of side, salads and traditional soup like miso. The restaurant is right off of a new development on the Green belt in Garden City and you can hear the water from the restaurant. They open the side of it so it gets fresh air. It just feels really refreshing and new. The buns were really good. I ordered the classic pork bun and the teriyaki bun. The lunch special is pretty reasonably priced I would say. I think it's a great new addition to the Greenbelt and the Boise community. I can't wait for more people to check it out. The service is good. The food comes out quick and it was really fresh and juicy. A fun new concept on the green belt. You have to stop by!

Another unique addition to Garden City!…read more Food: 4/5. The menu is different than what is online and seems to change often as they try new things. They didn't have the lumpia, but had croquettes instead which were absolutely delicious and highly recommended. We also tried 6 different bao and I think the Nashville Hot was probably my favorite. All of them tasted pretty good though. We were a little disappointed they didn't have desserts but they said they are hoping to add some. Service: 3/5. At first , we got our items quickly since we were one of the few groups there but once other groups started to arrive it took a long time to get anything that we had ordered. It also seemed like the waitress was late so one of the cooks had to fill in and take orders. Atmosphere: 4/5. The weather was nice so we were able to sit on the patio along the greenbelt. It is a good vibe and relaxing to sit outdoors. As the area gets more developed with the other additions currently under construction I think it will be a really cool atmosphere.

Delicious sushi in SE Boise. My family and I have dined in person and gotten takeout from here and…read moreeach time the quality of the food was excellent. They have a great variety of rolls and the service staff are welcoming and hospitable. The indoor dining space is small, but even when it's at full capacity it doesn't feel overcrowded. And there is also a little patio area that is great to sit at when the weather is nice. There is also a great selection of adult beverages to choose from as well as beer, wine, and of course sake. My kids like their chicken teriyaki and sticky rice and of course California Rolls. This is a great local spot in SE Boise and we will definitely be back.

We normally have a great experience so hoping to update this review in the future. Our service was…read moreterrible today, it is Mother's Day but it was not busy (maybe 4 full tables total inside/outside). The server was rude and treated us like any question or order we had was an inconvenience to her. She didn't give us menus for about 15 min, upset when we asked for chopsticks when our food came out, upset when we asked for low sodium soy sauce and frustrated when we asked for soy sauce saucers (little plates). She spent some time talking with another table and kept joking with them that they're not even her table. For reference, we have never been served by her before and come often. We waited a long time for our check too which isn't a deal breaker. Overall just a crummy experience and hoping management sees this to help train any new staff.

Not living in the city we came to Boise after getting back from a long flight and looked online to…read morenotice there was a Thai restaurant on Idaho Street. We clicked on the link in Google Maps and ordered online. Once heading to the address, we found out that the location was not correct. After a 30 minute walk to the new location the manager Billy was extremely rude and said it was our fault for not understanding the location on Google maps was incorrect. Once confronting them about the misinformation the manager Billy told us our fault and we should have known. They need to clear up their information online as well as when you call, which states they are in the heart of downtown Boise. Very rude and unprofessional to blame the customer. What a horrible and incredibly rude experience plus an hour walk roundup to get food. We would much rather spend our money at Taj Mahal, which is one of our favorite restaurants and we will absolutely never go back to this restaurant again nor ever recommend this place. Service matters but Billy does not seem to care one bit.

Alas, Ramen Sho will be CLOSING on March 19. See their message to customers inserted below. It…read moreseems increasingly difficult for good owner operated businesses to thrive in Meridian which is increasingly a fast food or franchised food environment. "Dear our loyal customers.We are writing to inform you of a significant transition that affects Ramen Sho. Effective March 19, 2025, we will sadly be closing our doors. It has been a pleasure serving our dishes to our customers, who became friends and family over the years since 2017, but it is time to say our goodbyes.We are incredibly grateful for your support throughout the years, and we want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. Due to multiple determining factors, it has become impossible for us to keep the business going. We hope to open our doors again, should circumstances allow. Until then, we want you to know how much we value you as a customer. We encourage you to visit us in these last weeks and have one last meal.Once again, thank you for contributing to the memories we've made at Ramen Sho. It has been an honor serving you. With sincere gratitude,"

Came here on a Tuesday night with a party of 2 since hot soup is the perfect meal for cold weather…read more It was relatively empty; there was only one other customer. The service was quick and friendly! The interior is not really my taste - it felt like a teenaged boy's room. There's a lot of anime posters and Japanese artwork, so definitely driving in the Japan/anime especially with the artwork outside the storefront. The menus look like they need an update since it was pretty worn down and barely held together by a taped up binder ring. We ordered veggie egg rolls to share and I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen. The egg rolls were ok. The ramen was also ok - nothing impressive. The soup was ok, but not as creamy or rich as I prefer tonkotsu to be. The chashu was dry and chewy, so it could've used more cooking time. The noodles had a great texture and the half boiled egg was delicious. I wish there were bamboo shoots as well but not a personal dealbreaker. All in all, it's an okay ramen restaurant that's on the affordable side.

It's very bright and vibrant. There's a ton of room and tables for people to grab a drink and hang out. It gives a very cozy feeling with the pillows on the long bench and little couch. There's two ordering stations that you can order your drinks from. There's not a lot of interaction with you and the barista. Actually, the gal that was working didn't really talk to us. She had a guest that she was giving her attention to. They were chatting it up the whole time we were ordering and while our drinks were made. There was a gentleman that clocked in and he helped me for a bit. He helped me start a new drink card. This would have been a 5 star review if the gal would have just paid a little more attention to us. For drinks I got the pomelo lemon tea with lychee jelly. My daughter grabbed the strawberry slushy with lychee jelly as well. The tea was delightful! You can taste the citrus in the tea. It was perfectly sweetened with a good amount of jellies on the bottom. There's also pieces of citrus peel. It added a nice element to my drink. The strawberry slushy was perfectly blended. It was thick and icy. It came with the cutest lid! My tea was fantastic and the venue is really cute! I look forward to trying other tea if I'm ever in the area again.

Although the exterior sign merely reads Donuts & Boba without a hint of the word "sensations,"…read moreyou're in the right place. And it's one of the donut shops that's so popular, they only make a limited daily batch. When that's sold out, they won't make more. So you have to get there early. Choosing from the few donuts that were left upon our arrival, we enjoyed the quality and creativity of the product at Sweet Sensations. The cream cheese donut was excellent. This isn't a place that will rival the best donuts in the U.S., but it's certainly an enjoyable and worthy morning stop. The interior is a little too modest and not updated at all. But don't let that scare you away.

I love all the pastels and flowers everywhere. There's a beautiful display of all their donut options. We were instantly greeted by sweet lady. She guided us through the menu. The menu has quite a few options but it's rather small compared to other boba spots. We were given a free chocolate glazed donut while we were waiting for our drinks to be made. I thought it was really nice of the owner to give us a free treat! The donut was really soft and airy! It was on the dryer side but it was still a decent donut. I ordered the peach and mango clear tea today. It was pretty in color. You can taste the peach and mango in my drink. It's not as sweet as I'm used to but it was still good. There's a light amount of jellies on the bottom. I'm personally used to a bit more jellies in my drink but as a collective it was still tasty. I'm happy I ran into this cute venue. I'm hardly in this part of town but if I'm ever in these neck of the woods I'm definitely stopping by again. It's local, the owner is sweet and you're supporting a great local business.
