Award-winning tasting menus, local ingredients, artful presentation.
"In 2023, Kris Komori at Kin became the first ever Idaho chef to win a James Beard Award. Komori and his team focus on seasonally and locally sourced fare cooked with precision and flair. Their multicourse tasting menu, served at a communal table with optional wine pairings, changes monthly. If you’re not ready to take the leap into a full dinner, grab a seat at the Art Haus Bar next door, order a craft cocktail, and create your own tasting with shareable bites such as house-made sausage and black cod skewers. In the summer, there may be refreshing cold noodles, while the colder months may warrant a hot bowl of ramen or posole. The restaurant also offers a series of outdoor dinners featuring entertainment from local arts and music groups." - Scott Ki
"In Boise Kris Komori’s frequently rotating tasting menus highlight seasonal harvests from regional farmers and purveyors—one week a deconstructed chicken-noodle soup might be the star, another an unusual raw-bar twist on fish and chips—and many menus are themed around community initiatives and fundraising." - Chadner Navarro
