Bento Box

We went here for a work lunch. There were 9 of us. We arrived around 11:45am, we thought they opened at 11:30, it turned out that they don't open till Noon. We all waited outside till Noon. They didn't open a minute early. The place was empty, we defiantly didn't need reservations. They put an extra chair at a table of 8 for us. We were immediately given water when we sat down. We were asked if we wanted drinks. One coworkers said she wanted hot tea. He eventually came back and took our orders. Our orders came out in a timely matter. After that we didn't get checked on. We were in the walk way from the kitchen to the rest of the restaurant, but he never checked on us. We had to hunt him down to get our check.I ordered the Thursday Bento Box Special. It came with salad, pickled cucumbers, white rice mound, and teriyaki chicken. It was really good. It was a lot of food. I took half of the teriyaki chicken home. My favorite dish was the Mixed Tempura. I love the sweet potato best. The broccoli was not good. It was milly.

If I could give zero stars I would. I've been coming here for years and had no problem. Ordered some sushi rolls for pick up and the California roll had a really strong and weird taste. Mind you, I've ordered California rolls from here before and there has been no problem with taste. I went back to the store to see if they can remake it for me and they didn't want to help at all. The manager has horrible costumer service not wanting to help at all. She became defensive and asked why there was three pieces missing. Like ma'am my daughter had one and complained of the taste, so myself and husband tasted one. Like first of all I'm not trying to get anything for free like I'm just trying to get this remade!!! She said since the food left the restaurant there's nothing she can do about it. She wasn't wanting to come to a resolution at all, no "im sorry" or "we will fix this right away". Very rude. I work in the food industry and would never treat a costumer like this. Never spending my money here again.

5 STARS **"They had me at crab-stuffed mushrooms--OMG! The way I ordered TWO MORE BOXES without hesitation! Listen, these come six to a box, but I wasn't playing around. I made sure to get extra sauce on those extra boxes because flavor is LIFE!And don't even get me started on the shrimp tempura--absolute FIRE! Crispy, golden, perfection. The rice? Sticky, just how I like it. And when I drowned it in teriyaki sauce? Game. Over.This place isn't just food--it's an experience. I'm officially HOOKED."**"If loving this place is wrong, I don't wanna be right! See y'all next time......

We were looking for something close to the convention center and stumbled upon this place. A large spacious restaurant, I was a bit skeptical, but we were hungry!Very glad to find that the food here was actually pretty tasty, and very reasonably priced! Bento Box special #1 was what I picked, and you could select the sushi roll with it. My husband ordered the daily special, and the amount of meat was huge, lol.The tempura was my favorite, it wasn't over battered, and tasted fresh! Even the Teriyaki chicken was clean tasting and not drenched in sauce like a bad cover-up job, lol. Staff was limited, but they were friendly and attentive, and food came out fairly timely, despite them being shorthanded. Good go-to for a decent meal that's not overpriced!!

Came on a Monday at 4pm during happy hour Happy hour is 4pm-7pm on drinks only Sushi rolls are 50% all day here but the rolls are anywhere between $22-$32 here before the discount so kind of doesn't feel like a discount.We ordered a few sake bombs - house sake with Sapporo beer These are typically $4 but during HH are $2We ordered a spider roll (Deep fried soft shell crab roll) 9/10 We ordered a rainbow roll8/10We ordered garlic Edemame 10/10When we got there the ambiance was really casual and empty at the time, maybe two other parties there and one server were in the building. Timmy is nice, he seated us and took our order. *this place is closed from 3-4pm Restaurant is large open space, this place is clean and has nice decor inside. Overall nice restaurant, good for families, it was easy to find street parking during the time we came. Would come back again.

I popped in for a roll and ordered the spicy Dragon. It was very tasty and definitely hit the spot. The spice level was good as well. The service was alright, but it was super busy due to it being Sac Anime weekend. Inside is open and spacious with room for a lot of people. There are large windows which I'm always a big fan of.

Came in on a Wednesday evening around 6. Crowd was pretty empty. My friends and I were seated at the bar and given waters and menus.The food prices here aren't high but they also aren't serving anything of high quality here either. For chicken thighs doused in teriyaki sauce, a simple salad, mixed shrimp tempura, white rice and 4 California rolls or was $22 before tax. Some of the sweet potatoes in the tempura mix were burnt, the shrimp was really good I'll give them that. The deep fried California rolls were solid. Simple but big and filled with imitation crab. The chicken teriyaki wasn't bad they just were cooked and sauce was poured over them. Didn't knock my socks off. I honestly feel like I could make something better. The server also told my table it would be an extra $1 charge for a side of siracha. I've never been to Bento box and I am in no rush to go back. It's what the kids call mid. Much better options for sushi in the area.

You can't go wrong with Bento Box. It's open late, and the service is excellent. The food quality is consistently good, and the prices are reasonable. The drinks are strong, with a full bar and a great selection of cocktails. The atmosphere is relaxed, whether you're enjoying the TV at the bar or having a casual date in the corner. Just a heads-up--avoid sitting by the windows, as people tend to watch you chew your food! If you're craving delicious sushi and a variety of dishes, this is your spot in Midtown.

We came from Los Angeles for an Educator's Conference and were looking for a place to have dinner for a group of 10. Initially, we were going to eat at Station 16 across the street, but when we asked them to provide us 10 individual checks (because we get reimbursed $30 per person, per day by our district), they turned us down. All 10 of us walked out dissatisfied. Looking for a new place to eat we saw Bento Box and thought we'd try it. Worried that they too would turn down our request for 10 individual checks, we sent one of our group to ask before we walked in. The staff assured us they would take care of us and quickly prepared a table for us. The place was clean and had great ambiance. The "beverages" and food started flowing and we all had a great time sharing food and stories. We will definitely be coming back every year for the great food and wonderful service!!! Thank you Bento Box for accommodating 10 hungry educators!

KARA THE MANAGER AND HER BUSINESS HAS DISRESPECTFUL AND UNCALLED FOR POLICIES .* we came as a group of 7 in several cars , they said gratuity is 18% but we're all doing 4 separate checks and we all wanted to choose from each tab on what to pay for gratuity. I asked if we can split into two tables at separate tables so we can choose what we tip , my server and the manager said we'd have to sit AT SEPARATE SIDES OF THE RESTAURANT!!! Splitting us up like little kids !!!! (MIND YOU IVE WORKED IN A RESTAURANT FOR 6 YEARS , even on the same street as this one . I HAVE NO ISSUE TIPPING !! ) I didn't even mind sitting a few seats down but no we'd have to sit at separate sides of the room So I ended up doing Take out , since I have not ate today and will not be back again .
