Oh Bento

Went in against better judgment. Fish and chips seemed like day old and microwaved. Took one bite and tossed it.

I DoorDashed sweet chili cauliflower bites and garlic fries, with passion fruit pana cotta for dessert. 10/10 would do it again. Damn

I was really craving fish tacos last week and luckily this little shop is less than a mile from my office. It's in what feels/looks like an abandon center but it was worth the struggle to find! I ordered the fish tacos about 10 minutes ahead and they were ready to go when I arrived. The fish was suuuper crunchy and packed with sow and cabbage. I asked for extra sauce on the side and I'm glad I did; their chipotle mayo is rich and creamy and so delicious with the toasted tortilla and crunchy fish. The restaurant is fairly small though and it was a bit warm when I entered. Great spot for intimate meals. The lady behind the counter was super sweet and friendly.

Ordered thru DoorDash for their fish & chips. First time I've ordered was better. Second time, it was alright. Kinda bland. I still prefer Tugboat's fish & chips. The size of the fish was pretty good tho. I think next time I would want to try their shrimp tacos and Parmesan garlic wings.

My wife found this place as "Oh Bento" with 4.5 stars on Yelp so we were really looking forward to trying this place out by ordering to-go. Upon arrival, I should have heed all the warning signals with this place before commiting. My gripes with this place:1. There were 3 different signs/menus with different prices that's really confusing. The cashier let me play a game called pick a price.. any price from the menu. lol (not joking)2. The waiter/cashier/food prep guy (yep, it's one person) got our order wrong 3 times. Should have known when he didn't write down my order. 3. Although I was their number 1 customer (only person in the restaurant), the food took almost an hour to be ready. ETA for the 1st batch of food was 15 mins which was on time so you can do the math on how long the food should take. :(4. Dry ketchup stains on the packets of ketchup? Seriously? Makes me question their level of cleanliness. 5. Food was done and I ready to pay. The cashier billed me on prices from menu# 2 and menu# 3. I thought we had already established that we're going with menu# 2? Given the situation, I kept the faith that the food would be worth it. When I got home, however, the food looks like they just reheated some frozen food you'd find from the grocery store. The food and service was beyond disappointment....

Yelp should show "Oh Bento" as being closed and form a new listing for this business which has NOTHING to do with "Oh Bento" except that they still use their price lists but won't honor them. I believe the name on the receipt was "Abduls". I'm sorry but rancid cooking oil, and 3 menus all with different prices are not very appealing. The fish was practically tasteless but the flavor of the rancid oil it was cooked in was present in every bite. UGH

I hate writing bad reviews in general because I hate complaining, but I need to address their terrible quality control of the food. Came here with my friends initially thinking that it was still under old management not realizing that it is now under new management and the menu/ food totally changed. Since we were already there, we decided to give it a try anyway. We ordered some wings, fries, calamari, popcorn shrimp and the stuffed mushrooms. Nothing special in taste just your regular deep fried foods. The fries tasted the best out of everything we ordered but even then I will rate it only a 4/10...Yes, it's that bad...Now, the most disappointing thing are the wings. There was no wings...it was all drumsticks...the worst part was that it was UNCOOKED! We could of gotten sick (or even died...ok, that's a bit too dramatic...but still) if we ate that! Blood was leaking from the chicken and had left a tiny pool of blood inside the to-go plate. How can the cook just placed uncooked chicken onto a to-go box for the customer? Can they not see the blood dripping from the chicken??? Very disappointed and will never go back. Make sure to check your food to see if it is thoroughly cooked if you want to try this place. I hope they start checking their food before serving it. We were nice enough to not had called, go back to complained for our money back or report them, but if this is how they have been serving their food then sooner or later their place will be shut down. I'm guessing the 4.5 stars for this place was because of all the reviews received for the previous owner. Just for your own health and safety, it is best to not eat here unless you like your chicken bloody and half cooked...

Oh Bento is a fairly new, local casual restaurant that serves a variety of fish and chips, grilled seafood, and other like eats. It replaced the former Wave Fish and Chips just a little over a year ago. It is a fast casual eatery located off a busy street in the city of Carmichael. We actually came here looking for Wave Fish and Chips and discovered it had changed to Oh Bento. The owner was very welcoming and even honored a coupon we had for the prior establishment.We got 2 orders of the beer battered cod fish, one with Parmesan garlic fries and one with fresh skin on sweet potato fries. Each order was $10. For dips, we chose the tartar sauce and the roasted garlic aioli. We decided to dine outside as they had a few tables set up and a very warm heat lamp. On a cold December night, the heat lamp felt awesome. When the food came out, we tried the fried fish and really enjoyed them with the dipping sauces. The tartar sauce was great for the fried fish, but the garlic aioli was surprisingly amazing! I was really impressed and used it for the fries and some of the fish. We noticed they accidentally gave us regular French fries instead of parmesan garlic, but we were okay with it. The fries were good and the sweet potato fries were even better. The owner was super nice and made sure we really enjoyed our meal. He provided really good customer service. We definitely enjoyed dining out at this new local restaurant. I would definitely recommend Oh Bento if you are in the mood for fish and chips or other fried or grilled seafood. The prices are reasonable, portions are good (great for fries), and it's great to support small businesses during these times. They have takeout and provide sanitizer.

Yeah these new owners aren't anything like the old owners at all!! Me and my family came here after a long trip and we thought this place was gonna be better then Tugboats judging by their old reviews (with the previous owners), but when we got in there it was very sketchy.There was a little boy watching the TV that was inside which was interesting, flies runnin around everywhere, and the smell in there was TERRIBLE! When the little boy saw us he ran into the kitchen and the "Cashier" came out. He gave us a greeting and showed us the menu... There was 3 of em. We finally chose our food: Fish N Chips x2 and we had ordered it to-go which we had to repeat three times just so the cashier could understand. The food was extremely expensive and it was not worth it. The ETA on the food was 10 minutes... That turned into a unpleasant 49 minutes. While waiting in there it was just me and that little boy watching his youtube because my family couldn't wait anylonger with the sketch ambiance and I really cant blame them.I wish I had photos of the food but I dont. The fish looked like it was microwaved, the frys were HEAVILY peppered down, like so much pepper to the point some fries were fully drenched in pepper. The lemon was tasteless I didn't taste anything after putting it on the fish so (dumb idea) I decided to juice it on my tounge and it was straight bitter. Mentioned in a review I read (post visiting) I had seen that the ketchup packets had ketchup stains, and so did mine.I would not recommend coming here. PLEASE go somewhere better like Tugboats

Every single time (for several months now) I have called to place an order to go they 1) don't understand-I have to repeat myself several times "pick up-to go" then they Never have Anything I have asked for "oh we're out of that now" (I ask for grilled cod they don't understand-how can you Not understand what grilled codfish is at a fish n chips restaurant?) then they say you mean catfish-No- goodness it's frustrating. I just can't recommend a place like this. Sorry!
