The Crab Rangoon and Char Sui Pork was good. My partner enjoyed the Brussel sprouts and drinks. The Honey Chicken was very dry and made my partner sick immediately after. If it came with extra sauce it would've been better. I do feel like I overpaid. The amount of gnats in this place is insane and it's really uncomfortable. This means something is not being cleaned well. I would imagine it's the bar that needs to be cleaned better. Sucks because the place looks really nice inside.
Friendly knowledgeable staff, with good customer service. The food was enjoyable but not portioned for the price.
My husband and I went to Boku for the first time. The lettuce wraps and Hong Kong ribs were amazing! However, the General Bobs entree was not so good. The chicken was dry and rice was subpar. We will definitely visit again, but only for the wraps and ribs.
Boku always kills it!! Food and cocktails were exceptional. Portions were large enough to share with the table. Our server was phenomenal!
Everything was great. From the hostess, bartender, waiter, every staff member was so nice and pleasant. The only reason I did not give five stars is because there gnats flying all over us and we had to be asked to move twice. It was bad! I was on a date and all we could focus on was the gnats. If they get that under control, very beautiful place!
The egg rolls, potstickers and crab Rangoon were excellent. The calamari was overcooked but had good flavor.
The restaurant is lively and fun. Every visit we enjoy fresh , tasty food. I was not aware Mothers day menu was a very shortened brunch menu.
Each time we ordered an appetizer, they were out. They were out of at least three appetizers - it was 6pm on the weekend of college graduations and Mother's Day! We finally ended up with the egg rolls and lettuce wraps. We may have had one shrimp in each egg roll that was supposed to have fried pork and shrimp. The food also lacked flavor. Great server, though.
We had a Great experience at Boku. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. We asked for a few options on mocktails and we ordered both of the options to try. Extremely reasonable priced mocktail at $6 a piece compared to some restaurants that charge you the same amount as a cocktail. We had four small plates to share which were all Amazing. We had the Hong Kong ribs, calamari, Bao buns, egg rolls. I want to go back to try some of the other small plates and also their entrees!!
We had a great experience. The food was delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

Service was very slow. Took about 15 minutes to get a drink and about 20 for dessert. My crab Rangoons were burned and the flavor was off, General Bob's was underwhelming and the fried rice was so bland. My husband ordered the Hong Kong ribs and the Char Pork noodles, he enjoyed both.
Came here to celebrate a birthday and the service and ambiance were terrific. Food came out very quickly and the appetizers were delicious. Highly recommend the Szechuan green beans!
A tasty, service friendly and reasonably priced dining experience. The pre-dinner cocktails were imaginative and quite tasty. We enjoyed a couple small plates along with the Pho and Pad Thai entrees. The service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the experience and will return to taste more of the varied drink and food menu.
The drinks and atmosphere were excellent. The food left more to be desired. The steak and broccoli contains almost no steak (too much sauce) and the garlic noodles were bland.
I feel overall this was a great place for some good food! It was a little crowded at the high top tables. Food was great and will definitely come back!
