Not sure how I've lived in the area over 10 years but only now just have them a try. I've hit up their sushi and ramen. The happy hour rolls will keep me coming back. Stellar that the HH price also counts for take out! Folks are always nice when I've gone in and my order had always been ready on time. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and were in the mood for sushi so we went over to bento box during lunch/happy hour and ohhhh my god, the best sushi ever! We took it to go, and they didn't acknowledge us for a bit but only because they were busy. Understandably. But once we ordered, it didn't even take 20 minutes before we got our food. $13 for three rolls for the both of us and they were delicious!! I'll recommend this place to anyone that loves food:) read more

Great little place with some off menu specials if you're lucky. Busy on the weekends, which is evidence of good food. I just wish we were closer read more

I love this spot the sushi is fresh and good delicious saki and charm it's a great value too!

My first time eating this type of food. Not a bad experience. Ordered the chicken teriyaki box and had the shrimp tempura on the side. Service was pretty descent. The guy behind the counter making the food seemed pretty hostile but since I don't speak Japanese I can't say for sure. Portions were decent and flavor was pretty good. I would give it a try again. read more

Was really excited to eat here after seeing noted that vegan/vegetarian options were available. However, I asked for a bento box with just veggies (no meat) and they refused to accommodate it - even if paying full price for a meat based bento box. They were not very kind or apologetic about it either. Heard the guy say "that's not a bento box" loudly to the staff to tell me no. Pretty rude and disappointing. read more

This family restaurant goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed! The food is amazing and the portions are perfect!

One of my very favorite places to eat. I love the tonkatsu ramen, so full of flavor. The udon soup with tempura is perfection, the tempura batter here is wonderful. The sushi rolls are very fresh and delicious. Love the plum wine too! read more

This sushi restaurant is a little gem. We come here often for the sushi and bento boxes. Food is great quality and delicious. Smaller dining room, with small sushi bar, but the service is great and we are never disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

Omg this place is awesome! Food was great, the people working are exceptionally friendly and kind, there's random anime art, a shelf of manga and Knick nacks plus there was no wait and quick service. They were lovely about having toddlers dining in too (always stressful given how messy the little hellions are) and the whole family felt welcome and had a fun meal. Loved it and will totally be back, highly recommend! read more

Went here for the first time and it was amazing! The food was delicious and the service was great. It was very clean and we loved the energy the restaurant had. Definitely will go again! read more

I don't like to leave negative reviews but this was such an unpleasant experience, I felt I should share. I've been eating lunch here for approx 2 years, I like the chicken teriyaki lunch box, and Philly roll. Arrived at 12:45, there were 3 open tables awaiting to be cleared. No worries. No other open tables. The tables were cleared, I was suggested to sit down at table near the door, menu hastily placed in front of me. No problem, they're busy. A gentleman arrived after me, and he was warmly greeted, "the regular? Green tea?" And he was seated promptly. Minutes go by, no one to take my order, or offer me a water, or bring a water. After about 10 min, gentleman who arrived after me receives his green tea, and a tonkotsu bowl I believe. Still no one returns to take my beverage or food order. At that point, with menu still in front of me, I departed, to go next door where I have always been greeted, and never forgotten. I didn't rush out, did not hear anything as I exited either. I do not think I will return, there are so many choices in the area that extend better service to all customers. It has been often short staffed here and I understand one person can only attend to so many tables, but the prices are the same for everyone. read more

This place is SOOO good, we have only been in a couple times but we are always so impressed by the food. John is a great server and is always very friendly, he is the reason we come back! I highly recommend Bento box. The tempura veggies are so good, give them a try! read more

Great find in upper Glendale. Small location but didn't have trouble finding a spot to sit. Sat at the bar which was fun. We tried a bunch of things and everything was good. Sushi was better than the ramen though. Got quail eggs, eel, an orgasm roll, and a hand roll. Not cheap but not too expensive either Because it was pretty good tasting. Expect about $20 a person. read more

By far best sushi in Happy Valley Area. Service is always efficient. Lunch menu is great!

Salmon so good, lunch special prices. You can order food to go or dine inside. Recommend to try if you like sushi.

This was my first time here. It was a very hot afternoon and although it wasn't 12:00 pm the server/hostess let us all in. A large party was arriving after I sat down and the sushi chef was rude in his manner and tone, as he yelled for them to close the door because it was hot. People were still arriving, as he bellowed at them. The waitress was friendly prompt and checked on us to be everything was fine. The teriyaki salmon bento box was excellent and a nice salmon portion. I would come here again and try the sushi. read more

Super good sushi!! And a amazing price!!! Got Soo much food with a friend and the Tootsie roll was amazing!!! read more

Such good rolls made right there! The ramen is also delicious and a huge serving size

I am here in Phoenix for business and staying in the happy valley area. I was looking for a good sushi place and this one happened to be close to me. What I discovered was a wonderful restaurant with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff and a large menu. I went in to get some sushi than discovered the Donburi bowl based of a recommendation from my waitress and loved it. In short, go to this place, I will be going back. read more

Bento Box - Katsu Donburi Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time eating sushi here and it was amazing! Service was great and the atmosphere was good The Mexican Ninja Roll was fire

Great food and great costumer service. I don't live around the area but totally worth the trip.

Friendly service, yummy food and fair pricing. Their spicy salmon is my favorite, it's actually spicy (most places tastes like chili but no actual heat). It is one of my go-to sushi places in the area. The service is always excellent when we go in and the fish is always fresh. It's also one of the few places that know how to make "creamy scallops"- a hard find here in AZ, and something I've missed since moving here from the Pacific Northwest. read more

Take out or dining in, this place has the best sushi in north Phoenix!!! I love the sushi!!! Support our local restaurants!!

Orgasm Roll was really good. Wife enjoyed her large ramen bowl. Small but pleasant restaurant.

When we travel from Flagstaff we love to stop here. The food and service has always been great!

Ate here with my husband for our anniversary. Absolutely wonderful!! We ordered the Black Dragon roll, Las Vegas roll, and the Spider roll. Every bite was tasty and had amazing texture and substance. Amazing sushi and service! We will go here again next time we are in the area. read more

He was right, things weren't very happy in Happy Valley... Rainy disagreeable Tuesday months back and a late, late lunch date. Curse you, lunch date! so I sit and pout. (A little drama on a rainy day in the desert goes a long way.) I order a sake bomber. Silence falls. A cheery couple yapping it up - they pause to look over at me as the giant beer comes my way. Yes, I'm alone. Giant beer. And sake. All for me! And because I'm focused on them so obviously admiring my giant weekday beverage, DUCK! I duck left from an ear level "ssssssZzzk" hiss and I instinctively dodge low because I sense that something has launched itself from my table to the ceiling way across the room. It scared the Kirin out of me! Haha! This server (the owner) has just unleashed the beer by launching the cap with a pair of wooden chopsticks. Drama! Now, I myself have opened a 12 ounce bottle of beer on the structural part of a Toyota Celica convertible roof (a strange and desperate time at Joshua Tree National Park) so I will say, I was genuinely impressed and delighted with this little unexpected show of skill. Just then, my late, late lunch date walked in, the happy admirers turned around and we all went on to enjoy some fine fresh fish. And yes, the bomber was shared! The place is strip mall spectacular! Translates to: small and simple - maybe not "destination" nor "special date night," but dependable and yummy. I've enjoyed all the sushi eats here recommend also the pork bulgolgi bowl just because it's so good. read more

I wish there was zero stars!!! My family and I was seated quickly. A tap female took our drink order and gave us time to check out the menu. She returned, we asked what all came in the bento box since there's no description and only a small picture. Her reply was "it's exactly like the picture" and had an attitude to go along with it. My family and O decided that we would not be spending our money there. When we hot up to leave she shouted out "WHAT, nothing for you". I decided not to respond until she said "so your just going to leave without ordering anything" absolutely not, because I asked what comes in your bento box and told me "it's exactly like the picture" I continued to walk out while she continued to shout at me and my family read more

Aside from being open at the most inconvenient time for me, this place is fantastic. The food you get there is amazing japanese food and pretty inexpensive. Great service, and cool looking shop. I 100% recommend read more

Opened 2 months, this place is exactly what I expect from a fast Japanese restaurant. Prices are good and not overpriced like Kawaii Japanese restaurant. Food was delicious. I had salmon Bento box, $10.95 and well worth every penny. It came with salmon, rice, tempura vegetables, (unexpected) pieces of chicken fried with sweet sauce, a little potato salad, salad, and a fruit (cantaloupe). So good! I might even stop on the way home to pick up some dinner it was so good. I recommended it to 2 coworkers already today. It is a lot more Japanese and the menu far more extensive than the competitor Yogi's across Happy Valley Rd. I would say this is like a fast version of Sakana Sushi on 59th Ave & Loop 101. 5/5 stars for sure. I hope they start advertising and getting more people in there because it's hard to see it unless you drive right by. It's next to L&L Hawaiian which was closed for just today, so that made me try Bento Box. Timing is everything sometimes. The food is a lot more healthy than (still delicious) L&L Hawaiian. read more

So this place is a Korean-owned Japanese restaurant. I guess it doesn't matter as long as they know how to make the food, right? The hubs went to order as the boy and I sat at a table. The hubs and the guy at the register hit it off and did some small talk - he was really friendly. We ordered 2 of the ramen noodle bowls. It took about 15-20 before they came out. The bowl was just okay. Nothing too tasty and a little bland. I wish they didn't have the wooden chopsticks that you break apart to eat the ramen - it definitely didn't make the ramen taste any better. We will come back and try out the sushi next time and who knows, maybe their ramen will be better, too. It's a new place so we'll give it another try. read more

Bento Box - Tonkatsu ramen - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Small establishment in a strip mall. Waitress was friendly and answered all questions we had. We ventured in for lunch. Ordered off the lunch menu and ordered a appetizer to help with the hunger while waiting for the dishes which came out pretty slow one by one. we also got an order of the tonkatsu ramen soup which had a good broth. Soup bowl smaller compared to other ramen places especially for the price. I ordered a bento lunch box with the typical teriyaki chicken, salad, sushi, rice and tempura. A was good. Had an appetizers of gyoza rolls which were delicious. Overall, great place but a little steep on price of noodle bowls. If I were in the area I'd probably stop in. read more

Bento Box - Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place used to be excellent before the pandemic shutdown. They had perfect tempura. I don't know what happened but it is now terrible. I usually order the Salmon Teriyaki bento box, which the last three times I've visited has come with hard burnt salmon, soggy and undercooked tempura, and of course sad less-than-fresh salad greens. It is regrettable as it was once our favorite restaurant. We won't be returning as it appears the downturn is permanent. read more

So I'm a regular here now, and I have to say... My last four star rating was soooo wrong! This little family-operated place is definitely underrated. Shinji is the male owner who is always seen on most nights working the sushi bar. He says hi and bye and thank you to Every Single Person or Group that walks in and out the door. How awesome is that? He genuinely cares about his customers and the owners and staff, and the food, are the biggest reasons I always come here. His wife Lynn helps out around the restaurant, assisting servers with table and she's always so friendly and easy to remember you, if you actually talk to her. She's always happy to hear me speaking Korean and always compliments me on it, so that makes me feel special. Daja is one of the main servers here and she's always super friendly and on top of things! She's learning Korean just like me so it's fun conversing with her! On to the food... They have an assortment, mainly Japanese and Korean. The reason? The owners are Japanese and Korean! They have sushi, sake, Udon, Ramen, Bento boxes... and then they have Bulgogi bowls (which are sooo delish) and other Korean options. It's mostly Japanese tho. The pricing is not bad and they have $5 Sake Bombs everyyy day. They're closed every Sunday which kind of stinks but I'm glad for them they take a day off! read more

Very pricey compared to others with a very little portion on their bowls and others. Actually prices just went up recently. Overall good foods overall just little portion and over priced. read more

Very disappointed by the quality of the food. If I can give a 0 star I would. The chicken and pork seemed like they just heated it up in a microwave and served it, it was hot in some spots and cold in others. read more

Service was great, this was the second time I had been with my friend. Our server was super sweet and gave us a sample of one of their sushi dishes that tasted amazing! I had the miso soup and it was delicious along with the Yaki Chicken Udon noodles. It is a smaller location so prepare for that by going earlier during dinner service or lunch service. read more

Went during the lunch rush, waited about 15 minutes for our take out order. Very good quality, would recommend!
