    a plate of rice, meat, and vegetables
    Amanda S.

    Gave them another shot today with some chicken katsu. Meh. The chicken was tasteless, the brown rice was undercooked and the steamed veggies tasted way over salted. I probably won't be back here unfortunately. The prices are good, but still. For $10, my tastebuds should be a little more satisfied then they were. What was weird was last time the service was the reason for my 3 star review. This time it's the food. Can they ever hit both? Is third time really a charm? Maybe, but there are so many delicious eateries off Vista, I would be wasting my time at this point.

    (Meridian location) Can't believe it took me a year to find this place. It's authentic Japanese food that's reasonably priced. Tried Chicken Katsu and Short Ribs with white rice and veggies. LOVED the short ribs-marinated just right and the meat tender. I know I will be frequenting this place regularly to try various dishes. They also have a location on Vista Ave in Boise, but reviews I read preferred the Meridian one-has indoor and outdoor seating areas). Sharing lots of photos to answer most of your questions.

    this place is awesome. nice workers and great service. food is great too. my favorite is the yokozuna bowl. always a good time here!

    Lunch time plus the BEST boba in Boise!

    Some of the best teriyaki and katsu around... that should be enough for a great review. However, there is definitely more. Their boba is not only the best that I have found in Boise... they have an extensive (like crazy packed) list of flavors. My go to is pineapple, but have tried the green tea, lavendar, bahama mama and quite a few others too. All are great. Recently, they added yogurt boba too. They are basically flavor bursts popping bobas. They'll let you yrt them if you haven't had them, so be sure to ask.

We also enjoyed the live music from Harry Dial.

    My cousin made us reservations for dinner at Taste last Saturday. We got all of our kids ready for…read moretheir prom and decided to have a prom moms dinner for ourselves. My sister and I showed up first. We got sat at a round table and chilled until the rest of our party showed up. After everyone got there, we all checked out the menu. There wasn't a real organized system between the employees that served our table. It was a reservation for 5 but only 2 menus and 2 waters were initially dropped off. After everyone got there, 2 more waters were brought out but not the 5th glass that was missing. Then we got an over abundance of menus when we just needed a couple more. It was a rough start. We finally got to order appetizers and dinner. I got the Asparagus Delight with extra chicken. My sister ordered Pad See Ew. My cousin got the Khao Soi with rice noodles. The two other prom moms got General's chicken and a sushi roll. For starters we got the fried green beans and calamari. The wait on the appetizers seemed long. Nothing is more annoying than not being able to enjoy your starter cause your dinner was right behind it. 2 fried green beans were brought out. We had to call the server and ask about the calamari. We were confused if that was 1 appetizer of fried green beans split into 2 plates for easier sharing or if it was actually 2 orders. Well, it was 2 orders so the extra portion was taken back. The calamari did come out shortly but was fast considering we waited so long initially for the appetizers come out. I didn't try the appetizers but from what was being said the fried green beans were good and they have had better calamari. As fast as that calamari came out, I'm sure it was prepared quickly. Not taking the normal time to actually prepare something that could turn into rubber if it's not cooked properly. Dinner came out shortly. My dish looked really good. There was bright green pieces of asparagus. A few hearty chunks of cauliflower. I noticed quite a few shrimp and a decent amount of chicken. My dish was good. The veggies were fresh and crispy. The sauce was on the sweeter side but still tasted good. The shrimp was tender but did have a fishy scent to them. The chicken could have been velveted. It was white meat and we all know white meat can lean towards the drier side. I think velveting could have fixed that. I did ask for extra chicken and in all honesty I don't think I really got the extra I had ordered. Service was decent. The timing of the appetizers and food could be worked on. Some communication between employees would have been nice for more organization. I came here for lunch and wasn't impressed with portion sizes and I will have to say I wasn't impressed with the dinner portion either. It's cool that I got to come back and vibe with my family tonight. It was busy so it's great to see that people are out supporting their local Asian restaurant. I unfortunately have such a high bar set from my family and growing up in this industry. I really wish this place would have met my expectations the second time around.

We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted promptly and asked if we had a reservation, I told them yes and we had requested an outdoor table along the river walk. We were promptly taken out to the table where we all sat and discussed how nice the evening was. Our server created us all and got the evening going with our drink order. Everything was going well. When our server arrived with the drinks and got them out to us all and asked if we wanted to order appetizers. My brother and I both stated yes. He ordered the Calamari and I added 2 Spyder Rolls. The appetizers came out just a bit later and we passed them around the table for all to share. My sister in law was hesitant to try the Spyder Roll because of the fish roe on top but we manager to get her to taste it and she she pleasantly surprised how much she enjoyed the flavor of everything. While enjoying our appetizers our server took our order to get the next part of the meal ready. About 15 minutes later dinner arrived and everything came out looking good. Everyone had gotten exactly what we had ordered. We all enjoyed our meals have good and fun conversations along the way. As we were coming to the end of our meal our server asked about dessert. We had mentioned to her it was mom's birthday so she was getting her free chocolate cake and ice cream, always a nice thing for the birthday girl. So my brother and his wife order something as well. My partner and I decided we didn't need anything. So we all enjoyed the evening just relaxing and enjoying ourselves and a good meal. This location is our favorite because of the water views and just pure entertainment of people watching as well. We all look forward to our next meal there.

    If we had never eaten here before, today's experience would have been one and done…read more After spending Spring Break camping at Three Island Crossing and Bruneau Dunes State Park, we stopped at Shiok on our way home to Boise for a late lunch. The vibe from the waitress told us she didn't want to be there. We were barely greeted and shown a table to sit down at. We barely had seen the menu when she came by and asked us about drinks and appetizers. We asked for two glasses of ice tea and said we needed more time to look at the menu. When she came back to take our order, we still hadn't received our ice teas. She even brought us our cups of soup before the teas. Since we weren't provided water when we sat down, we waited 15 minutes to get the teas. My wife ordered a sweet and sour chicken dish and I ordered Kung pan chicken. When they arrived, they looked almost identical: deep-fried chicken in a sweet sauce. Only Kristy's dish had some slices of bell pepper, while mine had a piece of raw broccoli and some dried chiles. Tasting mine, it was definitely sweet and sour. When the waitress came around I asked if that dish was really Kung pao chicken and she assured me it was. I said the sauce was sweet and the chicken was deep-fried and was unlike any Kung pan chicken I'd ever had. She told me she would trade it out, although I was unsure what she was going to replace it with, since she had insisted that what I had received truly was Kung pao chicken. She returned a few minutes later and said the chef had made a mistake and was making the correct dish for me. It came out and was fine. But what bothered me is the server just assumed she had brought me the proper dish to begin with. If she had simply looked at it and agreed it looked nearly identical to Kristy's sweet and sour dish, she would have easily concluded a mistake had been made. Which I would have understood. Instead, she didn't believe my explanation of why it was the wrong dish. If I was the chef in the kitchen, I would have brought the corrected dish out to the customer myself and apologized personally. He took the easy way out by putting it on his waitress. This is a restaurant we love and have spoken to the owner before. We will go there again, but this was a very disappointing experience.

Located in the quiet shops off Entertainment, CK Hawaiian BBQ touts they have the best Hawaiian food in Boise. I think there is potential but they need an entire makeover, from the space to the recipes. For one, the restaurant was not clean. The tables were grimy and the floor was oddly sticky. It felt like the place hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. I ordered the Kalua Park Plate (savory pork with (or without) cabbage) with a side of macaroni and gravy ($8.45 for small), my husband the Chicken Katso also with a side of macaroni and gravy (panko breaded chicken breast, $9.55). We decided to take our food home. The second I opened the boxes, I was unimpressed. I'll spare you my very descriptive and unappetizing statement (something about the remarkable resemblance to wet cat food), but to be blunt, I was appalled. It was soggy mess of a few pieces of pork with way to much cabbage. I took one small bite and couldn't stomach anymore. Even my husband exclaimed "what the actual f***." The rest of the food wasn't the worst. The chicken katsu was breaded good but I was like where tf is the katsu sauce?! It wasn't anything special at all. At least it was edible. The macaroni salad was okay. It didn't taste very fresh, probably an old batch. I'm no Hawaiian food expert and based off their menu I got the impression that they're not aimed at providing traditional Hawaiian fare, but more so "inspired" fare. However, regardless of the origin of the food the fact remained that what I received tonight was terrible. Two stars, because the employees were very nice. And were very accommodating when we changed from dine-in to take-out.
