“I'm very happy the Genki food truck exists! I have fun finding them staged around Boise and grabbing some delicious takoyaki. It's rather difficult, if not almost impossible, to find delicious, authentic Japanese cuisine in the Treasure Valley. This small food cart is an Idaho gem. I've tried several of their food items, however this review will focus on their namesake dish, takoyaki (octopus ball). For those who don't know, takoyaki is a popular Japanese street food with bits of chopped octopus and dough inside a slightly crispy shell garnished with takoyaki sauce. I was very happy with how similar the snack tastes to the ones I've had in Japan. Genki serves these in 6 pieces ($6) and there are several sauces available. I like to top mine with sriracha to add a kick. It's a wonderful mid evening snack! My only complaint is on a couple visits I found my takoyaki to be rather old tasting, like either the oil hadn't been changed in a while or the octopus was overdue. It's happened less times than more so I'll still continue to eat this unless it becomes more frequent. Genki use to be very active on the Street Food Finder app but this summer they seem to limit their postings to Facebook and Instagram, so if you want to find them you'll have to go either of those routes.“
“My husband and I make Top Dog Grill our usual every other Saturday night stop! The food is incredibly tasty, the staff is so friendly and personable, the lines move fast, and you still always get exactly what you ordered! They blow all the downtown late night eats out of the water, and I would (and have) Highly recommend them to any hungry downtown pedestrian.“
“I preordered pork and chicken tamales for Christmas Eve dinner. I went to pick them up and they were hot and ready. The gals were so friendly and accommodating. My family raved about these tamales. Especially the pork. One even said they were the best he'd ever eaten. I will agree. They had a good amount of meat and the masa was not dry. The green sauce was delicious. I will be ordering these tamales again and would like to try the chile rellenos as well. Thank you Ladies for making my Christmas Eve Dinner a hit. Throw some business their way. You won't regret it.“
