Probably my favorite place in the warehouse. I've tried most of the items and they're all tasty!

The Tofu Katsu was excellent. Tofu was crisped immaculately; flavor was on point. Vegan kimchi items were awesome too. Owner seems to take pride in his business and was a nice guy.Vegetarian options: Vegetarians can finally enjoy a delicious katsu.

The last three times I’ve tried to come to this place they can’t handle the order load and close off right at dinner time and random days. It’s a Wednesday at 5:30 and they told me they’re shut down and just winging what they have for orders as it is. They’re one of 15 restaurants in here and it’s not even busy in the warehouse so how is this always the result? Disappointing every single time. They’re food is good when you can actually order it.

The curry sauce on both the Tonkatsu and the Tofu-katsu is incredible. Seeing some 1 star reviews due to slowness and agree that early on there were ticket time issues but I think they have largely worked thru this, try them again!

I grew up in boise and visit 4-5 times a year from NC. I’ve been wanting to try this place since last summer, as for a family it’s perfect. Everybody can get what they want. Finally made it tonight. I wish we hadn’t. I did note that the place wasn’t busy. Should’ve read the room on that. Instead we went to four of the restaurants. None of them were good. One was mediocre. Two were just bad. Pizza was so greasy and limp you couldn’t pick it up. Dough had no chew to it at all—just bread really. And so soggy. My kid who loves pizza didn’t eat it. Boi bao was overpriced and unimpressive. Steam bun was good. Tofu was good. Pickled daikon was off for sure. Plain, dry shredded cabbage wasn’t a welcome addition on the side. Just meh meh. And I ordered $5 small bowl of edamame to go with: see above) which came so late (20 mins after other stuff) that they threw in some raw Kim chi bites that were garbage. Totally raw. Inedible. And the edamame was raw. Hard little nuts inside those pods. Like, seriously??? Went to the poke place. Kid wanted it with cooked chicken. It was fine but like not really anything, so way overpriced. It’s a small salad bar salad (half rice) for $17. Crazy. Wok n roll also bad. At least it was only $14, but the “golden” tofu was white with no crust because they didn’t cook it long enough, vegetables were over cooked. No crunch. And then it was half rice. Rip off. Bad food. Half thrown out. I just spent almost 85 (with tips and tax) and it wasn’t as good as, I imagine, a friggin lean cuisine or whatever. So, so disappointing. Boise has some great eats. Go to them. Not this place. On a positive note, that place is sparkling clean. Every inch of it. Even the bathrooms. Not to hard to do given how empty it is, I guess.
