This particularly $5 Bento is located right next door to Savers. It use to be Ross and also the Japanese restaurant Yamagen . Can't go wrong with $5 bento comes with rice and corn and the main entree . I picked up their hamburger steak and sweet chili fish . Service is fast and quick all their bento's are in warmers and ready to go . This location seems to be very busy because I arrived about 4:15pm and the selection was almost sold out only chicken adobo, Hamburger steak and fish left Support local

Recently, I stopped here since a parking stallon the street was available and convenient. I had also always wanted to try the $5. Bento Box. There were several choices available. I decided to get the $6. Furikaki Fish. It was tasty and the portion was just right for a Senior. I like that the Bentos are kept warm. I could see how two $5. Bentos would be perfect if you have a larger appetite. I would go back to try their other offerings. Good value and worth trying!

Lunch from Moiliili, Honolulu, Hawaii...After having leftovers from my niece's Graduation party for too many days, I thought that everyone in the family would enjoy some other cuisine.$5 Bento has several locations. This one is on the left side of King Street, right before the building where Ross used to be. (A Savers is coming soon.)There's metered street parking, but picking up bentos is quick. (No need to feed the meter.) The young man in the food truck was efficient and pleasant.I got two of each: shoyu chicken, beef stew, pork adobo, and chicken stew. Everyone had their favorites (My brother-in-law liked the shoyu chicken the best) and were happy with the selection.I would return if I was in the area.However - Personally, the Kalihi location is probably closer to my mom's house and might have more of a selection (like hamburger steak, snapper, and kalua pig and cabbage).

Finally... a place that speaks to my wallet! I had seen the $5 Bento Box food truck on S. King St and in the Kaimuki area, but I never thought to stop by until one evening when I wasn't very hungry and just wanted a small bite to eat. I did a search on bentos and this place popped up with 4 star reviews. Sounded promising.Since the Kaimuki location is closer to me, I stopped by there first. They're actually located in the student parking lot at KCC. They were sold out by 5pm! The guy told me to call the S. King St location to see if they still had bentos available. They did, so I headed out there.They're located in Moilili next to a CVS. You can't miss them due to their bright red sign. Plenty of parking is available in front. After browsing the menu, I decided to get the $6 snapper with lemon butter. Yes, it was $6, not $5. All of the other bentos were $5, though. They have about 10 different bentos to choose from. They are pre-packaged and kept in a warm, large container that's temperature controlled.The snapper was just the right size, since I wasn't too hungry. It came with rice and a small amount of corn. The lemon butter added flavor. It was actually very delicious! The lady working in the food truck was really sweet. She showed me several bentos and allowed me to choose the one I wanted. There aren't any tables to sit down so this is a take-out only place.I would definitely return to try some of their other bentos. I mean, how can you go wrong with a $5 bento? Or in my case, a $6 bento?

Great food for the price. Bentos come with a good portion of meat, rice, and corn. Try the snapper, fish, and kalua pig bentos. There's limited street parking.

Great place to get a good amount of food for $5. It ain't old school lunch plate sized, but the bento size is just right to fill you up without stuffing you. Plenty of good choices.I don't know how these good folks can keep these prices because of the economy, but I feel lucky to be able to live near this place to grab a bite to eat considering the McDonalds right across the street charges $10 for their "combo" meals.I appreciate that they've done what they could to keep these boxes affordable. If you're hungreh and looking for more grindz getting two boxes will really fill you up, but 1 is great for getting satisfied and if you're trying to watch your portions.

Okay, you seriously can't beat this value in town for food. Where else can you find a meal for $5 that will fill you up?Go early for a larger selection. They premake and pack their bentos which are kept in food warmers until they sell out. I found their food to be hit or miss. Sometimes really good, some times bland, some times way too salty. But hey, again for $5 bucks, you can't be too picky or complain. The pulled pork with gravy was probably my favorite. They even have fish dishes for $5. Dunno how they make a profit.They are across the street from Stadium Park, tucked right before Ross. Street parking.

As the saying goes, sometimes you get what you pay for. For $5, you can't expect much. But, I did come here expecting to get what I ordered, but I swear the furikake ahi that I ordered was not AHI, but cod. It was a hefty serving of food for $5, but it was a little on the salty side. I wouldn't mind trying this place again, but I would opt to try a different dish, such as the hamburger steak or maybe one of the chicken bentos.I give the ladies who were working here props for their enthusiasm and friendliness.

Five, Five Dollah, Five Dollah Bentoooooooooo!!!!Yes gangies, I said $5.00 dollar bento!!! If you folks drive around on Oahu, sooner or later you will see a truck or a sign that advertises $5.00 Bento.True to what they advertise, all of their bentos are $5.00 bucks...........not all of the items are tasty/good , but to be honest, a few items are actually pretty good!One of the items I come here for is the "Snapper with Asian Sweet Chili sauce". I mainly pick up this bento for my pops, as he digs this dish! The Snapper with Asian Sweet Chili sauce bento comes with a slab of fish marinated with that Asian sweet chili sauce, a scoop of white rice, and a scoop of corn. Not bad for just $5 bucks and some change for tax.If you're not into fish, they do have other items here, as they usually offer 10 to 15 different items. Like anything, it's a crap shoot on what you pick...........like I said before, not all of the items are tasty/good, but you really can't complain about a $5.00 bento, right?Located in the McCully/Moiliili neighborhood, you can find this $5.00 Bento outlet just next door from the Ross Dress for Less.Parking is basically street parking, but finding parking isn't an issue here.Lookin' for cheap eats? That $5.00 Bento may help your wallet! :D

Depending on what you get the $5 is a desk. Roast pork is good, worth the $5 Shoyu chicken was hard and dry... they give 2 pieces but for me not edible so total waste. Mayo snapper... I did not care for either. Guess I'll need to get the roast pork when I can.
