    Food was delicious. Fresh fish and little rice. Service was friendly and quick. I will be back next time I'm in Boise.

    A really good deal if you eat an average amount (all you eat for $40.00). The sushi was very good, not excellent. The restaurant was clean and the seating was comfortable. The service was good...

    Restaurant was super busy. Despite the chaos, our service was awesome. We ordered edamame which didn't make it out before dinner; however, the waiter made it up to us by taking it off of our bill. Everything we ordered was awesome!

    Pretty good sushi! The all you can eat is the way to go. I really enjoyed the nigiri, but the rolls were super popular among the other customers. The rolls are very non traditional and creative. Service was excellent (thank you Alexis). The ambiance is comfortable. Definitely would return.

    This place is the best Sushi in town in my opinion, you wouldn't normally think an AYCE/Buffet would be up in the top for quality but Yoi Tomo does it every time. The place gets very busy, so getting a table needs to be planned and I don't say that as a negative, it's that worth it. The staff is amazing, the rolls are fun with some named after movies. I never have a bad experience here.

    Definitely my fave AYCE sushi!!! Quality of fish is great. I take my husband with me here but he doesn't eat sushi, but that's okay because they also order other food :) I like getting their nigiris because you can taste the fish more than the rolls. Their rolls are also amazing though! Definitely 10/10 would come back here again!

    This place is absolute perfection! From the ambiance, service, value, and food. Everything is so good. I highly recommend it. I got the all you can eat option and ordered tempura shrimp, tuna nigiri, miso soup, and seaweed salad. I also ordered the anger management roll which is their most popular roll. I see why because it was so good. It's located downtown and there is a parking garage right next to it where you can park. They also have outdoor seating for people watching and enjoying the great weather.

    Loved it! Easy to join waitlist. The customer service was A+. The food was delicious! The egg rolls were some of the best I've ever had. We tried the Bronco, the Zootopia and the Gladiator. All really delicious. If you're worried about spice, the 1 jalapeño spice level is hardly anything at all. I didn't even break a sweat on the upper lip.

    The only sad part about coming here is the wait time, if it's a weekend night good luck. You most likely will have a wait time of over an hour. However, once you're seated the food comes pretty quick. All you can eat sushi is definitely the best bang for your buck. I do really enjoy the service and sushi here and would recommend!!

    Number one choice for sushi. If you are going in peak hours, get your name on the reservation list or be prepared to wait. Worth it 100%

    Ask the Community - Yoi Tomo

    Is there a difference in price for lunch all you can eat and dinner all you can eat?

    It used to be different prices but since covid, it's all one price.

    Do they offer all you can eat all day? or is it just a dinner option?

    Yes! They offer all you can eat all day. It's the best option in my opinion. Definitely recommend throwing some appetizers in there along with the sushi since some are included in the all you can eat!

    How does the restaurant handle the "all you can eat" menu item for delivery?

    All you can eat option is only for dinning in customers. We have Take Out Special Deal which is any four sushi rolls from our menu with $31.99.

    Are they currently taking reservations?

    No, but you can join the waitlist with a live wait time in order to get an idea of when you'll be seated. You can join it here on Yelp ahead of time that way you can plan ahead and don't have to sit and wait until you're seated

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.

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.

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!

We asked to speak to the manager and she confirmed that we only have a certain amount of time for our table "per the reservation policy". She then offered to move us to another area. We didn't. She then informed us that she was going to re-read the reservation policy, to see what the customer sees when they make the reservation. That famous policy never mentioned the 90 minutes allotted for each table, I have since checked. It's clear that they care more about turning the tables over as many times as possible than making sure the customers are having an enjoyable dining experience. We are never going back.
