So my wife and I decided to venture out and try something new instead of Door Dashing our food. So we drove to E Bidwell to try something new and we are so glad we did. The reason why I am giving this place a 5 Star is because from the time we walked into the Business until we left, its been a very great experience. We walked in and we were very warmly greeted and then we were then taken to our table where we sat down and from the time we sat down the ambiance was very nice and the decorations inside were just as beautiful. So after 5 minutes we got waited on and we were asked on what drinks we wanted and my wife and I ordered a Dr Pepper. Being that there was so much on the menu to order we kept asking our Waiter to please keep checking on us because we werent 100% sure as to what we wanted. Well after about 10 minutes we finally realized that we knew what we wanted to eat. We first started off with Appetizers and we ordered the Mushroom Bomb and Crab Wonton's. We put that order in and then about 5 minutes later the waiter came back and aksed what we wanted to eat. We both decided on getting the California Roll and The Rookie Sushi Roll. We both began talking and just enjoying the environment and let me tell you I have seen Restaurant Employees work as a team but the people at this place were completely in unison every time. You could tell that they all had camaraderie amongst them because they interacted very well with each other. The 2 people that I want to recognize because they both took great care of us was Seven and Bella. When Seven was off taking care of other guests, Bella would be right there working side by side making sure that the guests in their section were taken care of. The California Roll came out and so did The Rookie and let me tell you when I eat Sushi, I have to have my Soy Sauce and my Chopsticks, thats the only way to eat that. The California Roll was absolutely delicious and for the first time ever eating a Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Roll, was delicious as well. From the beginning to the end everything was wonderful. I'm so excited about this place that I am going to bring my "Lunch Group" here the next time we meet so they can enjoy Bento Box just as much as my wife and I did. read more

Came in on the Fourth of July, so it was nice and quiet with no wait. The service was friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. We ordered the Korean short ribs bento box, Alba a specialty sushi roll, and the Spicy garlic edamame. Everything came out fresh and beautifully presented. The short ribs were tender and flavorful, the sushi roll was delicious with just the right amount of sauce, also had a kick to it and the spicy garlic edamame had so much flavor. we couldn't stop eating it. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was relaxing, and it made for a great lunch. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! They also have a full bar and plenty of TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great spot to grab a meal while watching the FIFA World Cup or any other game. read more

I recently tried a honey chicken bento box and a Dragon Roll, and both were really good. The bento box was a great choice because it came with a variety of items all in one meal. It had a nice portion of rice, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful main dish. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and it was very filling without feeling too heavy. The Dragon Roll was delicious and beautifully presented. The combination of flavors and textures worked really well together. Spice could have been a little more but still flavorful. Overall, the meal was satisfying, fresh, and nicely presented. I would definitely order both again. read more

Ordered for take out. The food and service were phenomenal. I think the hosts name was Akira she was very busy but remained patient while we browsed the menu. Food came out pretty fast and it was great. The restaurant is beautiful and looks very classy. Highly recommend I hope their bathroom issues are resolved. read more

My wife and I have eaten here a couple times- it's ok, the only real sit down restaurant south of 50. It looks really nice inside, patio looks really nice too, though I've never seen anyone sitting out there, probably because it's at the busy corner of E Bidwell and Alder Creek. That's about where the positives end. Food is average and overpriced - pretty sure the tempura shrimp is from Costco and marked waaayy up. Ordered to go tonight and several nigiri options on the menu are out of stock, was asked if we'd like water while we waited for our food (yes please!) but never got any. South of 50 desperately needs a good sit-down restaurant, cause this ain't it. Business must be good though, pretty sure the owner drives a Lamborghini Urus. Must be all the Costco shrimp! read more

We have been wanting to try this new spot in Folsom Ranch. First off we were pleasantly surprised at the restaurant style atmosphere with full bar and nice decor and comfortable seating. Servers were very welcoming and friendly. The menu included sushi, bento combinations, ramen, salads and more! There is also patio seating with fire pits. Portions were generous and both chicken entrees were very tasty! We will be back to experience the dinner vibe! read more

First time eating here and nice to see they are open after hours late (until 11pm) even during the weekdays. Their atmosphere inside is very upscale, modern and clean. They have large tables to accommodate large groups. We ordered a few of the specialty rolls and a couple of the bento box plates. The rolls were priced in the menu at 50% off and they were long with about 8-10 pieces in the roll. Bento box came with a mix of cucumbers, salad, rice and your choice of entry. I got the honey chicken which came with a small spicy sauce. The taste was very good. Price wise the menu was pretty upscale even with the 50% off. Specialty rolls are $20-35/roll minus 50% and bento boxes range from $12-20/box just to give you an idea. Overall, the service and food was good and I would consider going back again to try other dishes. read more

We got so happy the first time we tried the restaurant. We ordered their short ribs bento and were delicious. So we ordered online for delivery the next week. Top was presented well and looks good with nice meat. But after few layers, this is what it looks underneath. Where's the meat that we paid for? Are you trying to feed us bones? We are not dogs. read more

Been to bento box quite a few times, but have not done a review yet. The inside is very nice with beautiful decor. The servers Seven and Leo are always kind and welcoming with a smile on their face. I've had sushi rolls to bento boxes to the Ramen. Everything comes out spectacular. We don't live far it's a within walking distance so it's a perfect go to spot for lunch or dinner. read more

The managers apparently work off site and tell the young, well meaning but undertrained staff that they are monitoring them on camera??? Not only does this potentially violate privacy laws and other protections for workers and guests--it's bad business for a business that thrives on in person interactions. When we went the restrooms were out of order, the whole place began to smell of sewer while we were there, the food was poorly timed and stale, and the servers were scattered and either not paying attention, or didn't know what to do. They certainly were not equipped to respond to customer complaints. It's obvious the owners are making money off the backs of young people who are trying to make money and learn a skill--truly cringe when you think about it. read more

The hostess was such a sweet guy. I came in at 945. They close at 11. There were about 4 other tables eating. I was greeted, sat and served quickly and the food was absolutely amazing. My son and his gf stopped by as I was finishing my food and the hostess came back by to ask if they wanted any water or anything to eat or drink. I had already ordered food to go but he was so kind in bringing them water. I appreciate the amazing food and extremely kind service. read more

Finally, we tried this new-ish place in Folsom. The restaurant is spacious and the staffs are friendly. We came for Sunday lunch and were seated immediately. The sushi roll price is 50% off. - California rolls: good. My kiddo finished it all. - Shrimp tempura rolls: the tempura was crunchy and the sauce was good - Korean fried chicken bowl (spicy): my favorite! The spicy sauce was so good. The chicken was crispy yet the meat inside was tender. They gave lots of chicken pieces. - Tofu hot plate: it was okay and nothing special. read more

Delicious and great addition to Folsom! I have ordered take out/to-go twice (it's just easier with a toddler) and have been very impressed both times. I ordered over the phone for pick up which was super easy and the order was exactly as expected. The bento boxes are pretty large and there are a variety of options to choose from. I have ordered several sushi rolls, mostly baked rolls and have thoroughly enjoyed them all! The rolls are all 50% (I don't completely understand why they don't just advertise them as half the price all the time versus "full price" even though they're 50%). The quality of fantastic, I just wish it was a little cheaper. read more

Holy wow! This place is amazing! Our server Seven was polite and attentive, our food came out quick and was delish! Will 100% go again!

Food - nothing extraordinary. As one review mentioned, the prices are somewhat $5-6$ more -- now that is understandable but the quality sucks. Ordered a calamari (or at least that is what it says on the menu), it was though, so chewy and overcooked that we barely touched it. The bento was also disappointing. Decor / Ambiance - well decorated and clean since it is fairly new. Service - sub par. Given that they have been open for a few months now, it feels like it's still soft opening. read more

Bento Box - So chewy and the plating? A big insult to Japanese cuisine. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

Newly opened about a month or so ago. I first noticed this place as I go to Slice House in the same Folsom Ranch plaza. The restaurant is beautiful, new, and modern. Spacious restaurant with a large bar and also has nice outdoor patio seating with firepits. I've ordered pick-up as well as dined in. On both occasions service was slow but very friendly. I ordered one sushi roll and it didn't come out until I was already half way done eating my bento box! Hopefully that improves with more time being open. I have not been to any of their other Bento Box locations. So for my first time, with the name Bento Box of course I had to order a bento box. I've tried the Korean Short Ribs, Chicken Teriyaki, and Seasame Chicken. Each bento comes with salad, white rice, and cucumber sunomono. I was a bit bummed that it doesn't come with a miso soup too. I also ordered a Volcano Roll. I enjoyed all the food. It was good. I liked the mayonnaisey salad dressing and the sunomono was a nice palate cleanser. The Korean Short Ribs had a great flavor and a good portion. A little chewy but I'd order it again. The Seasame Chicken was tasty and pretty much was Chicken Katsu to me. The Chicken Teriyaki was just okay. I wouldn't get it alone as the only protein choice. Volcano Roll was yummy with a nice super mild spice to it. Portions all very filing. The $16 Lunch Special Combination Bento Box is a great deal. Although I wish each day wasn't a fixed menu choice. Luckily I visited on a Wednesday as the Chicken Teriyaki Seasame Chicken lunch combo sounds the best. A suggestion would be to fix the menu. At first I wasn't going to order a sushi roll because $30 for one roll is outrageous to me. Then later I saw there's a smaller print on top that says 50% off all sushi rolls. I probably missed it because I was immediately drawn to the eye catching photos of the dishes on the menu. Anyways overall not the best I've ever had but is definitely really good for Folsom standard. Also the menu is pretty large so there's still so much more to try! read more

We tried coming to this new Bento Box on its soft opening, but the timing was wrong. We came back Friday night for dinner and were very pleased with the server, the service, and the very delicious food. For a Friday night this location was still not overly crowded, which for the hubster and I was grand. The interior has a lovely bar area with ample seating and tvs for sports viewing. The dining area has several different configurations to accommodate smaller or larger parties. There is also tv in this area, which I feel is a distraction to the meal and company. Our server truly could not have been nicer as well as making recommendations. We did think it was a bit strange, however, that one Bento Box order arrived in a bento box and the other on a plate. Perhaps they should invest in more? Another small inconvenience is they do not provide free refills on their Shirley Temples. Please note the parking here is tight. The lot was not laid out well. With the other businesses and time of day you may need to park on the other side of the strip mall and then head to the restaurant. However, the good food and service could make up for that in my opinion! read more

For the first time ever, I did not have a pleasant experience at Bento Box. For some background, I have been going to Bento Box for over a decade. John and his former wife built an amazing restaurant, and the quality of food has always been superb. Today I called in an order and ultimately sat down to experience the restaurant experience. I was initially taken back that they did not want to share the Wi-Fi password with me, but then figured maybe it's just for security purposes. I was then asked if I could pay for my meal first. Which is crazy because I hadn't even received my meal yet. I informed the waitress that I would like to wait until after I eat my meal. Nonetheless, upon receiving my meal, not even two minutes later, I was asked to pay for my bill again. So I paid it. This is when it started to connect. I had decided to sit outside on the porch and the waitress wanted to prop the door open despite it being nearly 90° outside. I am assuming that they thought I was going to dine and dash. Which is upsetting because I was out on the patio working on my laptop. I feel as though I was judged. I'm not dressed down or looking crazy or anything, but something caused them to have caution providing me service. At all times I was respectful and I parked right in the front (not that it should matter, but I was driving a newer Tesla vehicle). I am never one to jump to this conclusion, however, I feel that I was profiled due to my race. That's the only reason I can come up with. It's unfortunate. John and his former wife would never have let customers be treated or feel this way. I'd recommend all African-American families in the Folsom area to have caution visiting this location. read more

Bento Box - Receipt - Sushi Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

This is a beautiful new location in Folsom. There is a sushi bar, a big square bar with TVs and a huge dining area. The menu is huge with all kinds of Asian choices. They have pages and pages of sushi rolls that are all 50 percent off. Personally, I am not a fan of this, just price the rolls a normal price, but I guess it works for them. My husband had two sushi rolls. They were huge and he had a hard time finishing them. Both were good but he felt they had a bit too much rice. I had a combo bento box with Thai and Korean fried chicken. Both were nice and spicy. The Thai was my favorite. The salad and cucumber were really yummy and I finished them both, and wound up taking half the rice and chicken home and eating it for dinner. Service was a bit slow, understandable since this is a new place. Servers were nice and helpful. All in all I enjoyed it. I don't know if we'd go for sushi but the Bento box was good. A nice addition to the area. read more

I understand that opening a fairly new restaurant in a new shopping center in Folsom can be expensive. And this restaurant is pretty inside, large and well decorated. More than a casual dining experience but not fine dining. I was a little surprised at the pricing for the rolls. I feel like a majority of the rolls, even the basic ones like the salmon maki, are $5-6 more expensive than other places. A lot of their rolls are between $28-32. Maybe they're larger? Anyways I ordered the Yellowstone roll. I included the picture below. This roll almost cost me $30. It came out looking like a roll i could've gotten at Safeway. It tasted... fine. Covered in a lot of sauce. If you scrape the sauce the pieces aren't thick, not enough to justify the price. I actually spend a lot of money on food. I eat out way too much for a normal person. But if I'm gonna spend close to $30 for one roll that isn't going to fill me up, I want it to be fantastic. Service was warm and friendly. read more

Have ordered several different take out orders over a couple months. Yesterday I ordered the Salmon box, and was very disappointed. The salmon was dry, flavorless, in a separate box was the "salad" which consisted of a couple pieces of lettuce with the separate dressing filling most of the container. Where was the lettuce? At first I really liked this restaurant but now have decided not to go back. read more

Super delicious food with a great environment and great service!! We have been here so many times trying various items and EVERYTHING is ON POINT! Favorite go to is the pan thick noodles with chicken. The chicken is super juicy and flavorful. Sooo much food and sooo delicious!!! We've also loved the sushi. Super fresh! And the rolls and awesome!! The patio is GORGEOUS!! With a wind breaker screen so you can enjoy the view but not be blasted by the wind. We've loved every roll we have tasted. This time we had the Folsom Ranch - so refreshing with the lemon and just a really great flavor! Lexi - we love this roll! The cucumber wrap and ingredients give a nice crunch, refreshing bite and the flavors of each of the ingredients is perfectly distinct, yet marry well! The Mango Hamachi daily special. This was delicious! The sauce was good and the combination of flavors was great! read more

first time at bento box, and certainly won't be my last! i love that bento box is closer to us now being in folsom. we did take out and it tasted just as fresh as if we dined in. the tempura broccoli had the perfect crunch. the chicken teriyaki could've used a touch more sauce but the chicken still tasted great. it did come with a salad on the side, but who has room in their belly for that when the rest of the food is so YUM. the kids meal was the perfect portion size for a kid that practically eats as much as an adult lol. so if you love big portions for a decent price, this is your place! plenty of parking, and the outside seating area looked really nice. will absolutely be back! read more

I would have to say....the first time I went here it was good, I then got take out and I wasn't super impressed. Thought I would try it again tonight with two other people and what a disappointment!! I had to ordered two hors d'oeuvres, because one hors d'oeuvre only serves two people. Then we get our order and it wasn't what I ordered, so I sent it back. I had to sit there while others ate, then I get my plate and the fried calamari was super soggy so I asked for another one. After paying $61, i decided to ask for the manager, when I was walking out. It was sad because I didn't expect anything but to him to acknowledging that I was upset because the food wasn't right. He didn't care because he was eating too. Customer service is so important now, especially when you have to spend that much money. Wont go there again or recommend it to anyone read more

My husband and I ordered rice bowls from here through Uber Eats. The portion size was large even just for a bowl! I ordered the sesame chicken rice bowls and my husband had the spicy popcorn chicken rice bowl. Both were good except we both think the spicy popcorn chicken needed more sauce. Since we ordered from Uber Eats, we also got a BOGO deal for miso soup which was fairly good and not as salty like other miso soups that we have tasted. We would definitely try this place again and hopefully in person next time since I see they have bento boxes! read more

We came here on their 2nd opening day. I've been waiting for several months for their new Folsom location to open after frequenting the 65th Street Sacramento restaurant for many years. The owners are Korean and have focused the menu on popular dishes like teriyaki chicken / salmon, sushi, etc. I miss the bibimbap they used to offer. The new restaurant is brand new, sparkling clean, with sushi bar, liquor bar, and ample seating. The server was very attentive and the manager himself brought out our food and chatted with us. Everything tasted amazing and I look forward to coming back with the whole family. Highly recommend! read more

Finally tried Bento Box for Sunday family dinner, the restaurant's decor is a mix of modern with a touch of minimalism. There are large screen TVs all around, and specially at the bar. Their specialty drink menu is quite extensive, didn't try any of their cocktails but maybe in the future. We weren't expecting the dining areas to be so big and allow for good space between tables. They have multiple tables that seat 6-8 people. Hostess was nice and friendly. Servers were also nice and friendly. We weren't expecting our food order to come so soon once we finally decided what to order. Their menu options are so many which makes planing for a future visit exciting. Food was good, I truly would've liked my teriyaki bowl to be hotter in temperature than what it was served at. The jalapeño bomb appetizer was good, small but good. Their sushi's were delicious! We loved the Cali Fry roll and the Dre Roll, the rolls we ordered to share. Portions for the teriyaki bowl are enough for 2 people. Will definitely be back! read more
