    Chicken Curry
    Chase I.

    Think I found my new favorite item to always order and that is the Chicken Curry. I usually order the sweet chili sauce snapper but I figure that I try something different which I never seen on the menu before and that is Chicken Curry. It's hard to find a place that serves "local" style Chicken Curry. Most places serve Hamburger or Beef Curry. For the price of only $5 and which was surprisingly was the generous portion pieces of chicken, carrots and potatoes. Flavor was on point not spicy as I prefer it anyways. Wish I had ordered 2 plates instead of one. If they have the Chicken Curry on the Menu I will start ordering that over the fish from now on.

    Awesome spot for the price. Now, obviously it is going to be a little under restaurant quality (canned corn), but for $6 I couldn't believe the portion of fish I got. My family got ahi belly, the sweet chili fish, and pork adobo and all were great. The portion of sweet chili fish filled the entire bento, I am a big eater and it was more than enough for me. Sweet chili sauce was delicious. Corn is canned, but still sweet and crunchy. Highly recommend for a quick, easy, affordable lunch! Wish there were a few more options, but still no complaints.

    This particularly $5 Bento is located right next door to Savers. It use to be Ross and also the Japanese restaurant Yamagen . Can't go wrong with $5 bento comes with rice and corn and the main entree . I picked up their hamburger steak and sweet chili fish . Service is fast and quick all their bento's are in warmers and ready to go . This location seems to be very busy because I arrived about 4:15pm and the selection was almost sold out only chicken adobo, Hamburger steak and fish left Support local

    Recently, I stopped here since a parking stall on the street was available and convenient. I had also always wanted to try the $5. Bento Box. There were several choices available. I decided to get the $6. Furikaki Fish. It was tasty and the portion was just right for a Senior. I like that the Bentos are kept warm. I could see how two $5. Bentos would be perfect if you have a larger appetite. I would go back to try their other offerings. Good value and worth trying!

    Lunch from Moiliili, Honolulu, Hawaii... After having leftovers from my niece's Graduation party for too many days, I thought that everyone in the family would enjoy some other cuisine. $5 Bento has several locations. This one is on the left side of King Street, right before the building where Ross used to be. (A Savers is coming soon.) There's metered street parking, but picking up bentos is quick. (No need to feed the meter.) The young man in the food truck was efficient and pleasant. I got two of each: shoyu chicken, beef stew, pork adobo, and chicken stew. Everyone had their favorites (My brother-in-law liked the shoyu chicken the best) and were happy with the selection. I would return if I was in the area. However - Personally, the Kalihi location is probably closer to my mom's house and might have more of a selection (like hamburger steak, snapper, and kalua pig and cabbage).

    Finally... a place that speaks to my wallet! I had seen the $5 Bento Box food truck on S. King St and in the Kaimuki area, but I never thought to stop by until one evening when I wasn't very hungry and just wanted a small bite to eat. I did a search on bentos and this place popped up with 4 star reviews. Sounded promising. Since the Kaimuki location is closer to me, I stopped by there first. They're actually located in the student parking lot at KCC. They were sold out by 5pm! The guy told me to call the S. King St location to see if they still had bentos available. They did, so I headed out there. They're located in Moilili next to a CVS. You can't miss them due to their bright red sign. Plenty of parking is available in front. After browsing the menu, I decided to get the $6 snapper with lemon butter. Yes, it was $6, not $5. All of the other bentos were $5, though. They have about 10 different bentos to choose from. They are pre-packaged and kept in a warm, large container that's temperature controlled. The snapper was just the right size, since I wasn't too hungry. It came with rice and a small amount of corn. The lemon butter added flavor. It was actually very delicious! The lady working in the food truck was really sweet. She showed me several bentos and allowed me to choose the one I wanted. There aren't any tables to sit down so this is a take-out only place. I would definitely return to try some of their other bentos. I mean, how can you go wrong with a $5 bento? Or in my case, a $6 bento?

    Okay, you seriously can't beat this value in town for food. Where else can you find a meal for $5 that will fill you up? Go early for a larger selection. They premake and pack their bentos which are kept in food warmers until they sell out. I found their food to be hit or miss. Sometimes really good, some times bland, some times way too salty. But hey, again for $5 bucks, you can't be too picky or complain. The pulled pork with gravy was probably my favorite. They even have fish dishes for $5. Dunno how they make a profit. They are across the street from Stadium Park, tucked right before Ross. Street parking.

    As the saying goes, sometimes you get what you pay for. For $5, you can't expect much. But, I did come here expecting to get what I ordered, but I swear the furikake ahi that I ordered was not AHI, but cod. It was a hefty serving of food for $5, but it was a little on the salty side. I wouldn't mind trying this place again, but I would opt to try a different dish, such as the hamburger steak or maybe one of the chicken bentos. I give the ladies who were working here props for their enthusiasm and friendliness.

    Located just next door to the Ross Dress for less in Moiliili.

    Five, Five Dollah, Five Dollah Bentoooooooooo!!!! Yes gangies, I said $5.00 dollar bento!!! If you folks drive around on Oahu, sooner or later you will see a truck or a sign that advertises $5.00 Bento. True to what they advertise, all of their bentos are $5.00 bucks...........not all of the items are tasty/good , but to be honest, a few items are actually pretty good! One of the items I come here for is the "Snapper with Asian Sweet Chili sauce". I mainly pick up this bento for my pops, as he digs this dish! The Snapper with Asian Sweet Chili sauce bento comes with a slab of fish marinated with that Asian sweet chili sauce, a scoop of white rice, and a scoop of corn. Not bad for just $5 bucks and some change for tax. If you're not into fish, they do have other items here, as they usually offer 10 to 15 different items. Like anything, it's a crap shoot on what you pick...........like I said before, not all of the items are tasty/good, but you really can't complain about a $5.00 bento, right? Located in the McCully/Moiliili neighborhood, you can find this $5.00 Bento outlet just next door from the Ross Dress for Less. Parking is basically street parking, but finding parking isn't an issue here. Lookin' for cheap eats? That $5.00 Bento may help your wallet! :D

    Roast pork.
    Lyn L.

    Depending on what you get the $5 is a desk. Roast pork is good, worth the $5 Shoyu chicken was hard and dry... they give 2 pieces but for me not edible so total waste. Mayo snapper... I did not care for either. Guess I'll need to get the roast pork when I can.

    Five Star to $5 Bento Box!! Who hasn't seen these vans all around town! Honestly I never gave it much though...no not because of the price or the simplicity placed mini van. I thought it was a single choice basic meal where you don't have much decisions like a grab and go style.....WRONG!! Not only they have at least a dozen choices it's all $5 (plus tax). Sadly it came to my attention only after watching it on the news with how they take a loss only to help support the community in need that are struggling to make ends meet. To make up some of the loss is the sale of shaved ice and some fancy pineapple smoothie in the pineapple which sadly this location isn't offering considering it's not a visitor location by any means but if they had some sort of upgrade drinks I'd be glad to support by picking up one from time to time. This location is fairly new in the former Yamagen location that's right before Ross's McCully and they had everything we love including Kale Pig & Cabbage, Fried Akule and Beef Stew! Today it was Pork Adobo and wow it does exactly that pork is so perfectly with that yummy vinegar goodness along with a scoop of rice topped with some furikake and corn. This location sells just the bento and $1 bottle water unlike the Ala Moana location though I encourage you to give them a try, I'm grateful for the though and process that makes this happen for our community as positivity is what makes this place Aloha!! Thank you!

    Furikake Fish
    Wayne H.

    Great food for the price. Bentos come with a good portion of meat, rice, and corn. Try the snapper, fish, and kalua pig bentos. There's limited street parking.

Food: 10/10. I ordered the Veggie Eggs Benedict and it tasted really good. I liked how the ingredients taste fresh and how the benny complemented very well with the potatoes. I also sampled my brother's fried rice and it was amazing. The Extreme Mess was flavorful too, a little bit on the saltier side for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it. Ambiance: We were seated outside but it was covered and well-ventilated. The place is well-maintained and clean, and has a "local brunch place" vibe which I liked. Parking: We lucked out and got parking at the available space by their lot, around 11am on a Saturday. There's also street parking available.

    Excellent Experience at Sweet E's Café…read more We had such a great experience at Sweet E's Café. Even though they were busy, we didn't wait long at all. The servers were incredibly attentive from the moment we sat down--they brought us water right away, handed us menus, got our drinks first, and gave us plenty of time to look through the menu without feeling rushed. They were welcoming, friendly, and on top of everything. Our food came out fairly quickly and everything was fresh and delicious. The herb roasted potatoes were amazing, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The pancake was so fresh and fluffy. My omelette with Kahlúa pork was very good, full of flavor. My son's side of white rice and crispy bacon was cooked perfectly, and the corned beef hash was also delicious. We really appreciated the unlimited coffee and water refills, too. The overall experience was excellent--great service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place and we'll definitely be back.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
