18 Best Japanese Restaurants in Boise

“Another one of my favorites. My family and I love anime, so we love the esthetic. The food is absolutely amazing. My favorite rolls are the last samurai, the sixth sense, and mad max. My youngest usually gets the chicken teriyaki combo, he loves it, you will NOT go hungry. I also love their selections of cold and hot sake. Just know, you can't make a reservation. You need to be on your game and hop on their waitlist if youre going for dinner (like, after 5pm).“

“This is the most delicious ramen I have ever eaten. There is absolutely no second such delicious ramen restaurant in Idaho. The fried chicken cutlets are very crispy, the atmosphere in the restaurant is also very good, the waiter is very enthusiastic, and the food is delicious. You can't miss this restaurant!“

“I was so lucky to get to try this place out during my visit to Boise. My uncle who’s lived in Japan is a complete sushi iceberg, and we go nowhere else. I had to have the Godzilla road now I had many other roles and my cousin, to the number of different items the service was incredible!!! The spicy dragon roll was my favorite, but Godzilla you have to try!!! OH NOOOO I SAY YOU HAVE TO GO AND TRY GODZILLA!!“

“We had such a lovely lunch. Food and service was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to visit again.“

“Hands down my favorite place to eat in Boise. I'm from out of town but this is the first place I go when I visit. Open late, drive thru or sit down or pick up order so very convenient. Super cute little family owned business and the whole family puts their heart and soul into this place. Fantastic customer service. The food is amazing & always tastes fresh (the best shrimp fried rice I've ever had & the beef and broccoli is amazing if you're a fan of garlic. I personally love to order a miso soup to enjoy with anything rice based). You literally cannot beat the prices for this place. Most plates are $10-$14, and I usually split one plate with a friend. This place knows my regular order by heart even if I haven't visited in a year. I eat here every day I'm in town sometimes. If you haven't yet, give this place a try! You won't regret it! Everything is cooked to order so some dishes take a little longer to cook than others, but it's worth the wait!“

“My wife and Mother in law Have a Birthday in the same Month. This place is our go to! Food 10/10 Service 10/10. Thank you for always making Their day special!“

“was really good. 1st time having it I will be back“

“I can't believe I haven't rated this place already! I come here almost every week around Tuesday or Wednesday at lunchtime. It is my favorite place to get lunch. Super delicious! I recommend beef bento with ginger soy sauce on noodles! So good!“

“Their food is good. Its not a Michelin star restaurant but its homemade and humble. Ran by the dynamic husband & wife duo. I love this place. I come here too much! 😅

Love their Spicy Tuna Roll. That crunch he adds to the tuna filling is good. Especially dipped into a mixture of soy sauce & wasabi.

Their lunch specials from 11am-230pm are inexpensive and filling. Especially with their egg flower soup that they offer for FREE with your lunch special purchase.

They definitely TRY to put utmost love and care into what they do. So whether you have a bad experience or good experience make sure to always come back for we are human, sinners, and imperfect.

Thank-You Season Wok!! 💚💚

“Happy Teriyaki ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 1/25/23, I had to work late and stopped at Happy Teriyaki on Federal Way in Boise for take-out. This was my first time visiting this business. I was a bit skeptical because I knew it was a franchise with 10 Idaho locations, but it was on my way back to the office and I always like to try new things.  I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Happy Noodles with Chicken ($12.95), which is Chicken on a bed of Yakisoba Noodles. Other protein options are beef or pork. I was drawn to this dish because Yakisoba isn’t on many menus in  Idaho. In fact, the first time I ever had it was before it was on any local menus, and I had to make it myself from scratch.  The service was excellenot. My order came out fast. It was steaming hot and I could tell from the heft of the bag that it was generously portioned. It made two meals for me. I like that it had a large portion of chicken. The noodles were deliciously, seasoned and perfectly cooked. This is my kind of “fast food.” My five star review is based solely on this dish because it’s the only one I’ve tried. It was excellent! And it’s the best Yakisoba I’ve had in Boise to date. Highly Recommended!!!“
