    Celebrated 5th anniversary of my husband’s kidney transplant! Great server Alex! We chose the Restaurant Week menu & missed out on cooking of the food @ table but my husband enjoyed it anyway! He’s very particular about how he flavors & cooks meat at home & he raved about the spear rib seasoning!! Medium prime rib was served well done but still good. Next time I’ll stick to the combo menu.

    Love this place. Great lunch. Brussel sprouts, roti and curry, Thai fried rice and pork belly ba mee were all excellent! That yellow curry that comes with the roti app is one of the best things in Columbia. It’s magic.

    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!!
