    Chicken Teriyaki Bento - 4 stars. Pretty moist chicken. Fri takeout lunch 2024-07-05
    Ziyan C.

    THE WAIT Quite long at about 1:05pm on Friday 7/5. It is definitely a family-owned restaurant, with one guy at the grill, one woman taking orders. There were 2 large groups ahead of us ordering. It took about 40 minutes for our 3 entrees and 1 spam musubi to come out. THE FOOD The sides (cucumber salad, macaroni salad) were ok, a little lackluster. * Chicken Teriyaki Bento - 4 stars. Pretty moist chicken. * Chicken Katsu Bento - 3.5 stars. Lovely breading, but chicken quite dry. * Spam Musubi - 4 stars. Lovely spam and sauce, but the seaweed was a little stale and not easy to bite through.

    Update: Nothing has changed. Still a great lunch option. Upgrading to five stars. Bend-O Bento is a takeout restaurant, which is what traditional bento is about. There are some seats tucked in the back but they're not very welcoming and seem to be used primarily for folks waiting on their order. Open during the week and only for lunch. - Teriyaki Beef Bento, with macaroni, glass noodles and brown/forbidden rice: Everything was tasty. Unlike with a lot of local restaurants, the teriyaki sauce is not cloyingly sweet. Good cuts of beef, well prepared. - Chicken Curry Special: breaded, sliced chicken on a bed of rice, separate tub of chicken curry. Lot of food, particularly if you eat all the rice. The curry is tasty, not too spicy, with a nice amount of chunky veggies, like a curry stew. I found the breaded chicken cutlet to be tasty but a little tough. - Chicken Katsu Bento with glass noodles and cucumber: Well-prepared chicken, pickled cucumbers are divine and glass noodles complement the whole bento. Lot of food. There are numerous standard menu items but also be sure to check out the white board with today's specials. Super friendly folks running this joint.

    First time, nice, small, easy to go boxes

    Great stop, lunch, friendly happy people... is what it is. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Recommended, and so nice to see this business doing well, please visit or best to call order in. Location: Not the best but it works, more of a locals stop. Interior: Small, very small but counters and a few chairs. Menu: Great, not large but this is a small space so we were impressed. Food Prep: Very nice, lots of care taken for presentation... it was perfect, domo. Food: Awesome, Bento Teriyaki Chicken and Curry Chicken Cutlet meals were sport on. Value: It is a bit expensive but I get it... guessing to stay open prices have to change a little. $16 for a Bento Box, it was worth it for us. We will be back when we are on the that side of town.

    Chicken curry with panko fried shrimps
    Kat V.

    Best authentic Japanese restaurant! They are casual, fast, and homie style. They offer variety of items to choose from. They also have a long list of today special items. We enjoy our meal with hot green tea. Bento is a must try. We can pick the meat and 2 sides. The bento is huge and we had leftovers for the next day. The chicken cutlet is extra crunchy and the meat is still juicy soft. So good!! They gave us the whole bottle of katsu sauce. Love this!! I can have my favorite sauce as much as I want. The cucumber salad has a great taste and still maintains its crunchy. We also got chicken curry with panko fried shrimp (special item of that day). The curry is very tasty and I could taste the heat from pepper. I never have this lovely curry like this before. Shrimps are fresh and crunchy outside. Rice is perfectly cooked.

    Chicken katsu bento

    Pork Katsu Bento  with the thread noodles and cucumber for sides and a miso soup
    Ashley K.

    A local friend suggested this place. She said it was Japanese owned and they had good bento boxes. I ordered the Pork Katsu Bento with the power rice, the thread noodles and cucumber for sides, and a miso soup. Everything was delicious. They also have onigiri but they could take up to an hour to make so I'll have to try those next time I'm in town. The staff was extremely welcoming. Great little place and will be back for sure.

    Tofu Steak Bento

    Delicious authentic bento box. It is so hard to find authentic Japanese cuisine that hasn't been Americanized. The food was flavorful and the perfect portion. Has both meat and non meat options. I loved the pickled daikon on the side Do not sleep on this restaurant, it is truly a gem!

    See all
