Bento House

We arrived IAD tonight and craved for a fast bento meal. This place provided fresh made sushi, noodle and almost everything from scratch, it was delicious and the staff was very friendly. We liked especially the bento with shrimp and beef. The shrimp was crispy and the beef was tender and juicy. It was definitely beyond our expectation!

We ordered online. There is seating on the inside but it's definitely a grab and go type establishment. Our food was ready when we arrived. If you like a lot of soy ask for more. We got Cali roll, Philly Roll and Boston roll. Overall, I would go again. They won't be my first choice but there's a sushi scenario in which I would return. I just don't know right off hand what that situation is. Haha anyway, when I find myself in that situation I'm not getting the California roll. This is actually my overall favorite when getting sushi. I was disappointed. The Philadelphia and Boston rolls however were sufficient. In my scenario of going back to Bento, I'm getting either of the two. Likely Boston. Final note: when eating sushi, I like to soy one piece and not the next. I found myself needing to soy all of these.

The restaurant is very unassuming and bare bones. But oh the food. We go got the deluxe teriyaki which meant it came with a fresh salad, fried egg role, 4 piece salmon roll, and teriyaki. The portions are huge and we couldn't finish it all but was good leftovers. The food was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. We did pay $3 to add salmon on the chicken and shrimp dish. This place is solid and reasonably priced

My wife and I eat here once a week. Food is usually pretty good. Sometimes better than others. I.havent eaten anything yet because I spent 10 minutes picking out the veggies I specially said I didn't want. We've been coming here for the last at least 2-3. Never had many problems. This time both of us got the veggies we said not to put on. Not only was it veggies it felt like extra. We won't be eating here for a while. It's the lackadaisical attitude I'm tired of, not just here but most restraraunts don't care if they make a mistake. So I'm showing them with my wallet and telling people maybe not go there.

Generous portions, arrived piping hot, affordable, and very very tasty. They knocked it out of the park. I had already started munching before taking the attached pic, there's even more food than what you see here!

This place was surprisingly very good! First time I've done takeout here and the food was good! The chicken teriyaki was actually very moist and flavorful. The box comes with a small side of yum yum sauce but honestly the chicken didn't need it. Spring roll and Cali roll were standard. Salad came plan which I thought was odd but not complaining. Solid meal for the price

3 STARS for Bento House - quick, cheap and order-at-the-counter CHICKEN TERIYAKI in RESTON. This place has been around for years and its tucked away location makes it a little bit of a hidden option. In the Home Depot group of shops next to NTB Tire, across from Santini's. We had a hankering for quick, cheap, close-by chicken teriyaki. Bento House fit the bill. * Like that this place is order-at-the-counter and not sit down full service - exactly what we were looking for - quick hit, easy in and out, no muss no fuss. Plenty of lot parking. * Walked in - not crowded, plenty of available table seating, very open, bright, clean and neat inside* Kitchen is open concept, grill and cooks are visible which I like. Orders are up pretty quickly but know that teriyaki is grilled to order so there is a wait. I don't mind when I know the food that comes out is freshly cooked and piping hot!* They appear to do a steady, decent amount of online delivery and pick-up takeout orders - another good sign that food and ingredients are fresh, turnover is high. * Order takers at the counter are experienced, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.* Portion sizes are decent (all I can comment on is about the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box (Regular)) - see my pics - the "Regular" comes with a small amount of steamed veg (fresh) and choice of white or fried rice or noodles (same price) - we ordered with white rice. Next time will try fried rice and noodles (have read other reviews that the noodles are greasy - will have to try and see for myself and report back here). But all things considered in this wacky economy of inflated prices, shrinkflation and places trying to skimp by using lower qual ingredients, the food here stands up to higher standards I have for eating out these days including value for the money (compared to other places) and worth the visit. I DO however have 2 "NEEDS IMPROVEMENT" items that, if fixed, would elevate this place one more star to 4 stars:1. The chicken teriyaki needs more salt. Definitely missing something in the flavor department and imo just a tad more seasoning would go a long way to make this a perfect dish. Weird thing is - they apparently don't offer salt lol - no condiments on the table and no salt packets available (I asked!). We ended up using the soy sauce they provide in a big dispenser at the condiment / drink station as a dipping sauce for the chicken (pouring it over top of the chicken would drench the rice that sits below the chicken, making the rice even more soggy and mushy than it already is (see #2 below). Soy sauce dipping sauce worked okay in a pinch but the dish really just needs to be a tad more seasoned/salted. 2. The white rice is a tad too "soggy", mushy and bland. If they could get the white rice just a bit more firm and fluffy, it would make a huge difference.Still worth a return visit to check out other menu items. Will report back here when I do!

I enjoy eating sushi the things I noticed here was the rice was fresh but ended up making the sushi warm so it really threw me off. The sushi. Salmon was delicious. If only it wasn't warm rolls weren't ripe tuna rolls weren't bad but again everything was warm even the soy sauce, but I will admit the salmon was very tender and good in flavor. If only it was cold. I do not recommend the Goza if you've had true fresh handmade styles. This is very much frozen and fried. If you just want the taste of sushi this is a quick easy meal then but not cheap.

Luis did an outstanding job with providing patience and helping us pick a truly amazing lunch. We will be back VERY SOON!!

I discovered this place back in 2017 the places used to be good as the years past quality and quantity has gone down. Today I got the bento box with fried rice and fried rice no veggies so I paid extra. I get back to work to eat my lunch and notice no extra rice. This is not the first time my fault for not checking at the restaurant. CHECK YOUR ORDER
