Ok. It’s really a great thing when you come across a restaurant, such as Sakana Japanese Sushi and Steak House in Boise, and it severely challenges your benchmark Asian restaurant, Sushi Joy and Shige Japanese Cuisine. Yes. Sakana is that restaurant and it rates, now, as our benchmark with a solid 5-Star sushi/sashimi/Japanese cuisine. It is superb! The Wait Staff is kind and extremely helpful. The sushi chef, Xing, is from China and his talent is awesome. A wide range of Japanese dishes such as Hibachi, Bento Box, sushi and sashimi (which is superb!), tempuira, teriyaki and the list goes on. It is well worth your trip to go there. They are located at 7107 W State Street, Garden City. (208) 853-4993 and they are open Mon – Thursday: 11:00am – 10:00pm, Friday and Saturday: 11am – 11pm, Sunday: 12 noon – 9pm. Here are some photos of what we had. Enjoy!
Robin had this awesome Special – Mango, Shrimp, Salmon, Avocado, Tuna and Tobiko (Flying Fish Roe) with an Apple and Mango Sauce. There was also a wrap of Tofu Skin, a very thin sheeet of tofu (Inari). This was delicious!

I had this Sashimi Deluxe, 18 pieces of pure delight. Mackerel (Saba), Octopus (Tako), Salmon (Sake), Albacore Tuna (Shiro Maguro) served with Cucumber, Diakon and Shaved Ginger and Wasabi.

I gave them a Foodie Card, we were asking so many questions (I have only done this once before in Plains, GA) and they started to give us sample plates. This is but one of them. Usually I don’t give out a card until I pay the bill. There are exceptions, but very few.
