We got a couple of rolls along with Nigiri and both of them were delicious. The waiter was very attentive.

Can't speak about the hibachi, but we will definitely consider Kyoto again in the future for sushi

I can't remember the last time I was here. It must have been almost ten years. I used to come here…read morealot. The best sushi in Boise. I came here with coworkers or by myself. They knew exactly what I wanted. It was a place for me to come and chill or escape my stressful world. They are my family outside of my family....and outside of my work family lol. I went a couple weeks ago to see if I could surprise anyone, but everything was so different. I was a little stunned, but not surprised because he is probably an elderly man by now. Matthew said I looked familiar, but since I didn't recall speaking with him I couldn't recognize anyone. I had my usual marylin monroll. It was just as delicious as before. Now they have a sushi happy hour, but I didn't want much since I was on vacation. I was told that the business was still within the family. Thank you so much for keeping Kyotos running. I really love this place.

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.

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.

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. I'm so thrilled to finally have a high-quality sushi bar in Boise!!!

At 7:26 pm, our waitress brought us the bill, without asking if we wanted dessert, which we did, and then proceeded to announce that, "there was no rush but that they had to make room for another reservation at 7:30 pm."We had 4 minutes to pay and leave!! 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.
