Bento & Bowls

Delicious and Generous!I've been here twice so far and it did not disappoint.I ordered the Spicy Pork Bento and my dad got the Chicken Katsu. They cook very fast and the portions are big. I love that each bento comes with a skewer of grilled shrimp. The Banchan was tasty as well. Note: There is a minimum parking for the small plaza that it is in. It wasn't crowded all the times that I've went, but it's still a good idea to have a backup parking plan.

Good food and the servings are a lot. I work across the street from this place and I can't believed I listened to my coworker who told me not to waste my money in this place. I'm a big katsu fan so I've always wanted to try their chicken katsu. After a year, I was like F it I'm just gonna go and try it and I'm glad I did coz their food there's is bomb Atleast the katsu since that's the only one I've tried so far besides the bulgogi which is also good btw but I like the katsu more. Told my other coworkers about this place and they all loved it as well. I probably eat here atleast 2x a week lol

Best spicy pork in the east bay! And they didn't gouge the prices during the pandemic like everyone else did. Super fast and friendly!

Meh- I'm sorry I spent any of my money here, will avoid in the future. Food is mid and something is sketch here.

Edit: Ok so this place has great food 100% like it, but they have changed the Spam Masubi recipe and now there is less teriyaki on it! Guys what happened?? I don't if it's just me but the lack of teriyaki kinda disappoints me. It's still good, just not what it used to be. Overall besides that the food here is amazing!

Probably my husband's favorite spot for take out Korean if we're in the area or passing by.We always get the bento box. Super packed with food and enough for two meals. It has a little bit of everything which I love. Spicy Pork is my husband's go to. I usually get bulgogi. I LOVE their japchae. We tried the teriyaki chicken recently, and that was nice too. They used to do stamp cards but have stopped. Hopefully I can still redeem my full one!It's a small shop, I can't even remember if they have a seating area, but we always get take-out. Hearty food, which may cause a little heartburn so if you're old like me, take some anti-acid. hahaha

Bento & Bowls is one of my favorite places for Korean food in Oakland and a WFH staple.My favorite bento is the Spicy Marinated Chicken, which to me is the what the ideal Korean bento box would look like. A double-decker serving of juicy chicken (on it's own, not too spicy) with the perfect complement of popular, well-seasoned Korean side dishes / banchan - all creating a fantastic balance of flavors and textures. The chicken bento is also served with a mind-blowing sauce... sounds overly dramatic, I know, but I've never tasted anything quite like it: spicy and sweet with almost cinnamon-like notes {insert Frank's RedHot slogan}. The accompanying Kimchi Fried Rice is pretty standard, but for a $1 upgrade, why not?For first timers, the price for a bento may look steep, but even for my normally hungry self, there are usually leftovers (both chicken and fried rice). Fry an egg in the morning and you've got a breakfast of champions!

Hole in the wall gem! Great entrees and Korean street food style snacks. Check them out, perfect for carry out.

This was our first try at Indonesian+ foods. We had 8 different dishes and each was not just good but delicious! Their future is going to have a huge challenge: expanding to meet the upcoming increase in customers.

Food was great. Ordered to go. Would definitely come back again. The popcorn chicken was a lot for a small portion.
