    The ribeye with black truffle butter was amazing. Perfectly done (medium rare) and delicious. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. We were celebrity 38th anniversary and had a wonderful experience.

    So much delicious food! Menu is huge, complete with unique cocktails and mocktails. The owner frequently walks around the restaurant checking in and you can tell he truly wants you to enjoy your experience and his native food. Same owners as 929 Kitchen which is also amazing food!

    Boku is THE spot! Workers show they care and are the sweetest! And does not hurt the wallet!! Things I would recommend: PORK NOODLES: amazing! something new that i’ve never tried but definitely hit all my cravings. GENERAL BOB CHICKEN: this is definitely my favorite thing they serve, the chicken taste so fresh and so real, and a side of fried rice makes it even better. This would be on my death row meal! SPICY NOODLES: so delicious, but definitely do not buy if you can’t handle the heat, my boyfriend was in tears… lol. but i devoured with love! PEACHES AND CREAM YAZU: not sure if that’s the exact name but this dessert will make you feel like grandmas hugging you! i still dream about the next day ill see this dessert! Overall this place is top tier, the atmosphere is beautiful, the food is yummy, and the prices are accurate! They are inclusive and accommodating! I LOVE BOKU!!
