Joy Bento

#13 Chicken Breast Bento w/ California roll and Gyoza. Requested dressing/sauce on the side. Basic flavors, yet quick pick up for lunch. Under 20.00 not bad for Downtown Seattle. Co worker ordered chicken teriyaki w/ California roll and korean potato salad. Same option.Chicken has flavor, teriyaki sauce is sweet, rice cooked properly. Potato creamy as expected.

Popular, fun spot in the business district of Seattle. This place is mostly a to-go spot, I would recommend getting it on the fly. Very fast service, and the food is pretty good. Very typical bento experience, and the food is great. Nothing over the top about this place, no-frills with a wide menu selection. Would definitely stop by again.

Cute little takeaway spot between 2nd and 3rd Ave. I got the teriyaki chicken bento and it cost about $15 after tax. The chicken was tender and the teriyaki sauce was perfect! You can choose two sides, I got the california roll (4 pieces) and gyoza (2 pieces). I wasn't a huge fan of how they cooked the rice but overall the food was really tasty and I'll definitely be coming back for lunch!

This is a small and efficient lunch spot that serves a ton of downtown office workers. We came here on a weekday lunch hour and were greeted with a line out the door. Clearly, Joy Bento has built up a good reputation locally. I ordered at a kiosk, and this was quite straightforward, though it took me a while to look at all the options. I loved that all the menu items had pictures. The food came out quickly and was quite fresh. I got the spicy chicken teriyaki bowl, which had ample chicken and a good amount of rice and veggies. In the future I'd opt for regular teriyaki, as the spice took away from the flavor. For a quick lunch, this is an amazing option!

huge portions, spicy pork was good, teriyaki chicken could be juicier. salad was normal, potato salad was too sweet and inadequate textural contrast. the place is really small (no seating) but you can order from a single kiosk or from the counter. on this cold day, they had free hot tea outside.

Such a great spot tucked away next to a parking garage to pick up lunch. There's no seating inside, so you'll have to take your food away. You can order at the counter or there's a self-serve kiosk that you can put an order in yourself too. I tried a nigiri bento and the seared salmon inari. Everything was so delicious and fish tasted super fresh! I'd definitely come back again another time for lunch.

I was so disappointed that this place wasn't as good as I'd hoped. My rice was so mushy and California roll didn't taste very fresh and for some reason it tasted extra salty. The side potato salad was way too sweet. The seasoning was way off. I hope this is a fluke. I might try it again but order other menu items.The service however, was great. I really like that I can order on this font iPad thing.

Joy Bento was about a four minute walk from my work place, so we'd often swing by to grab some lunch if we had a short lunch break that day! I had their katsu on my first day of work, and it was really good! They also offer sides, and I got the potato salad, which I wouldn't really recommend. I did get their salmon poke bowl another time and thought it was pretty yummy too. Prices are pretty fair, it's very convenient because they're also pretty fast, and the workers are super sweet! I wouldn't say that the food was super special or anything, but it's definitely a solid choice that won't disappoint!

Fresh fish, quick and great service! Their poke, rolls, and sashimi are better than their chicken teriyaki.

Bit of a wait, but not too bad. A feasible lunch spot. Food was generally underwhelming. I had the "today's suggested" chicken karaage, which was lacking the distinctive garlic and ginger flavor and fried in massive pieces. I was also only given a few millimeters of sauce since I requested it on the side. No soy sauce was provided for the California roll. The gyoza were ok. My rice was kind of dry, but my friend's was perfect.My friends chicken teriyaki was really good. However, she didn't get the sauce she requested at all. Another friend said the chicken katsu was okay, but a bit dry.
