10/10. Island Sushi & Ramen is one of those places you try once and immediately start thinking about when you can come back.
Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were on point, and you can tell they actually care about the quality of what they’re serving. The sushi was excellent, the ramen was comforting and packed with flavor, and nothing felt rushed or thrown together.
What really made the experience stand out was the combination of great food and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a casual lunch as it does for dinner when you want something you know is going to hit the spot.
If you’re in Boise and you love sushi or ramen, put Island Sushi & Ramen on your list. I’d recommend it without hesitation. It's even the first place I take family when they visit.

I spent about $15 less than other restaurants and got more food. I like the selection. Steak Hibachi was overcooked (think very well done, then cooked longer in vegetable broth). Fried rice was really fried. A bit dry. It is a Friday night, so it could have been a busy, off night. Maki Combo A was a nice sushi meal.
I'd order from them again, definitely for sushi. If I ordered the Hibachi again I'd be sure to request it be cooked rare with the transportation in the broth, or maybe ask them not to mix the steak in the veggies and broth. Probably go with steamed rice instead.
Solid bang for your buck.

Best tonkotsu Cha. Ramen+ Fried Rice that I've had in Boise thus far. Haven't tried every place but definitely tried more than a handful. Have had amazing ramen in San Francisco, CA as well as other cities in California & none have come close except island sushi. This Cha. Ramen+ Fried Rice ramen is very flavorful and savory! The fried rice was decent but could use more flavor.
Boise Roll was good but a bit soggy upon receipt due to travel time I'm sure. It seemed maybe a day or two old as well, but still edible. Expected better for $20 per Boise Roll. The tempura within the sushi roll was soggy but the flavor was yummy; so it'd probably be best to order as a dine in. We ate in same night just in case the fish soiled bc it was on the edge.California Roll (s) are yummy and I love the buy-one-get-one free offer they have occasionally. Fresh tasting and simple. I just grab sauce and add to the Side Sauce including ponzu, eel & spicy mayo. Ponzu sauce is amazing and light.

Veg Spring Roll was hot fresh and delicious! Chashu Ramen was also hot, the meat was good, and the noodles and broth were delicious. Portion was reasonable for price and I would order this again.
