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!

So delicious! The restaurant I crave the most in Boise – there’s just nothing else like it. Zen Salad or Chicken Bowl – the ginger-soy sauce is divine. Now that we don’t work downtown it is difficult to get there but we try to make it work! I’d loved a West Bench location! Maybe the Asian Plaza at Cole/Ustick? Fast, quality and the best chicken you’ll ever have.

Excellent food with a surprising amount of variety once you start getting into the sauces. Good, timely service as well. Recommend to order by phone and use the drive through, extremely fast and convenient. It’s definitely not a cheap alternative to regular fast food though, the quality might be better, but you’ll be paying a little more. Recently it seemed like the bowls got smaller than they used to be, but maybe I was more hungry… my bad for not having a photo comparison.

For our most recent visit, we ordered inside at the counter for takeout. The rice and dish seemed a bit dry and was pricy for the quality. We recently tried ordering takeout through an on online service, but Zen Bento cancelled the order immediately without any exclamation (that we could find easily). The payment was refunded. We probably won’t be using them anytime soon.

The food is fantastic, clean, fresh, and healthy! However, their business hours are TERRIBLE…it’s like they’re trying to go out of business. Literally more often than not they’re closed. They’re closed all weekends and dinner times. They’d have so much more of my business if they were actually opened for business.

Excellent fresh, healthy, nourishing, yummy food but extremely skimpy on the sauce. More often than not, the rice is dry. I would give 5 stars if they offered adequate sauce outside of having to pay extra for what should come with the meal.

Personally, I’m not a fan. It has a nice atmosphere and if you’re into healthier fares, then this may be the place for you. That said, my salmon was pretty overcooked the last time I went, so if anything, the consistency should be improved. The first time I went, it was properly cooked and still moist on the inside.

Bento rice bowls. If it’s your thing, it’s pretty great. I’ve ordered close to 100 salmon rice bowls and they have never once failed to cook it perfectly. A little on the pricey side, expect $10-15 for a single lunch. Worth every penny imho. I’ve been to three of their locations in Boise, spot on at every one.

Awful service – make sure you check all of your bowls when ordering take out. My family and I ordered three bowls. Multiple sauces were not included on two of the three bowls (including kamikaze sauce and zen sauce, which are very noticeable). When we called back, they offered to provide sauces – which were not worth it as we live 20 minutes from the location. Long story short, make sure you check your bowls – even on very simple orders.

I went to the Apple location. The food was delicious but the staff are horrible. The guy working the register was annoyed that I was unfamiliar with the sauces to choose for and was less then helpful to educate me where they were. Once I got my food I accidentally dropped the container of dressing, it spilled all over the rug at the front entrance. I found my own napkins and cleaned up as much as I could. None of the staff came to help. I ended up leaving with probably half of it cleaned up. When I left the staff still did not leave the register to clean it up. So sorry if you stepped in something sticky while entering the establishment! Also just a side note I was the only customer at this point in time.
