• Sushi • Boise

Raibu is one of finest sushi bars I’ve had the pleasure to experience. The quality and selection of menu items is the best in the Boise area. We dined there during a trip to Boise in 2025 and twice during the trip in 2026. Looking forward to future visits when we are in the area.

Exquisite. Culinary storytelling by all members of the staff, and an intriguing concept for a menu. The name implies but one is essentially sitting at one long communal table with other diners. The service was impeccable and so thoughtful. Even the waiting spaces are thoughtfully curated; after dinner I bought one of the artist’s works on view; the gallery aspect is so beautiful. This was a memorable and lovely birthday experience we’ll remember fondly. Highly recommend.

Our first time here and it was absolutely divine. I had heard about Epi's for a long time and really wanted to try great Basque food and it did not disappoint. We would score this a 10 out of 10. Put it on your radar for new dinner places to try. You will not be sorry you did. I recommend the Creamy Chicken in garlic sauce. Out if this world.

This place is a real gem in Boise. The food is always terrific and the staff is attentive. If you're looking for something a bit different, give this place a go and don't be shy about trying the specials. Someone in my family always gets one of them and everyone else regrets not giving it a try.

My wife and I are in our 60s. We found it nice to enjoy a restaurant that is not noisy with beat-based music, that serves great food, and that provides a more traditional relaxed atmosphere for conversing and dining. It was fun to have the throwback entertainment with the live singer covering old tunes from Sinatra and others.
