18 Best Japanese Restaurants in Boise

“The food was delightful! I can’t say one thing they need to improve on. Our server, Sabrina was truly the best server I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled the world. Give that girl raise and hang on to her. Spicy Tuna is my go-to and theirs was phenomenal.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Coming from Seattle, a $13 bento bowl is unheard of. Brown rice, choice of protein such as salmon or seared ahi and the green sauce with generous veggies is a dream.
The quality of protein is outstanding and I tried the beef, salmon and ahi. I like the simplicity of the offerings and the quality is delicious.
5 stars for service and efficiency and very friendly staff. I’ll be returning with my family. Thank you Zen Bento. Great job.“

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

“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!! 💚💚

“Family owned business. Amazing service & Sushi. Hidden gem in Boise/Meridian. Note: Cleanest restaurant in Ada County“

“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!!!“
