Sakana Sushi Boise, sashimi, sushi

Second time we have been here, not counting take-out, and we are still very happy with the food, the Sushi Chefs and the Waite Staff. Definitely 5-Stars for Boise. Superb.They are located at 7107 W State Street (at Glenwood). (208) 853-4993. Look for their webpage at Sakana Sushi Boise. They also have an Extensive Menu, which might be wise to look at before going, to see what they have to offer. Thanks Marnie for joining us!
From their website, “In far Eastern countries, such as China, Japan and Korea, fish have always been used to symbolize for harmony, wealth and the freedom to live as one wishes.
Over here, it is known that healthy eating and the art of the oriental cuisine have been extended to the fullest. Our restaurant, Sakana, is using the finest raw material, as well as an exquisite way of cooking. Please experience the essence of a mysterious world of oriental food while you are enjoying your time here at Sakana. It will bring you a great amount of surprise and happiness.” Here is what we had. Enjoy!

House Salad
Saki
Appetizer

Miso

Seafood Appetizer

Mango Sushi

Robin had this. Sweet and spicy. You may have to ask for this one. We had to show them a picture of it and they made it.

Sashimi Delux

If you like sashimi, and I do, this is a delicious medley of salmon, octopus, tuna, mackerel, diacon, cucumber, ginger and wasabi.

Orange slices to counter the spiciness.

Making sushi. It’s an art form!

Finishing touches.

Sushi plated

Saki goes extremely well with sashimi or sushi.

sashimi, Sushi Joy, yellowtail

I have yet to have anything bad here at Sushi Joy. It is still the finest Chinese/Japanese restaurant in Boise. Bar none! I by far prefer the Japanese cuisine over the Chinese and that is not because one is better than the other. It is just a preference. The Samurai Yellowtail, as listed on the first photo below, was awesome. A great ying-yang of sweet and biting flavors. The Yellowtail is somewhat sweet. The House Sauce was pleasingly biting. If I could give them a rating of more than 5-Stars, I certainly would. But just be assured, this restaurant is a solid, very solid, 5-Stars. Left-Click any of these photos to see them enlarged. Cheers!

Samurai Yellowtail

This was so good that I even wrote on the bill, “Loved it!”. And it was that good. Yellowtail neck? Surprised me too and very delicious. I will have it again.

Avocado Crab Salad

This is the salad that Robin really likes. I may have to try this one. I normally take the small house salad.

Sushmi Plate Robin and Marnie each had one of these.

Sashimi Plate

Robin and Marnie each had one of these. It was good to have Marnie and Mac with us for lunch.

Bento Box

Mac had this “stand-by”.

Tonight we took a break from our kitchen and went tro our favorite Japanese/Chinese/American restaurant – Sushi Joy! And once again, it was 5-Stars out of 5-Stars! Super good. Super delightful. And here Tiger, one of the owners, is doing a super job in making some sashimi and it is fantastic! He does a great job.

Robin is at Sushi Joy awaiting here order. It's all made to order.

Robin had this Avocado – She Crab Salad.

I still love the house salad. So simple, yet so delicious. Especially their House Dressing.

For an appetizer, I had this delicious Shof Shelled Crab. The batter was so very light and the crab so delightfully mild and delicious.
