For employees appreciation day, my job had food trucks come out.I was so excited to try Bento Bus, but, sadly it did disappoint. At first I was wondering why the food looked so lightskinned (teriyaki is usually a darker brownish color). I reluctantly took a bite and it definitely was teriyaki. I was able to taste the bold flavors. It just didn't work well for my pallet. I tried both the chicken and steak teriyaki bowl. I appreciate the big chunks of chicken and the serving portion. I honestly didn't care for the flavors and unfortunately couldn't finish bowl.
I'm always running to Bento Bus when it stops by Tech. On the days they visit campus, they stay from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Service is great and whoever is manning the truck is always friendly so I love coming back. The food is delicious, affordable, and so much better than on campus dining. My go-to is the Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl for $10.00. It comes with steamed white rice, chopped lettuce, soy beans, tempura crunch, shredded seaweed and their signature sauce. To top it all off, I love drizzling on sriracha. It's honestly such a steal and I'm so glad they still come by campus.
I tried Bento Bus and it was an awesome food truck. I saw several people eating it and glad I tried it. Their entire menu looked great. I went with the steak nachos and was very pleased. The steak and toppings were excellent, but my favorite part of it was the chips. I'd happily get food from this food truck again in the future.
TLDR: can't go wrong with the bulgogi rice bowl Bento bus is my favorite option when it comes to food trucks on campus. It has pretty unique and semi-healthy food options. My go to order is the bulgogi rice bowl, which has bulgogi beef, rice, tempura crispy bits, edamame, and lettuce. The meat is always flavored well and the rice has a nice texture to it. The lettuce and edmame also make it feel healthy so that's always a plus. I've also tried their surrito (sushi + burrito) before, which was good but it fell apart when i was trying to eat it and was very messy.
I was crazy impressed with this place. They parked outside of the convention center for Anime Weekend Atlanta and I am told they were open until 3am (did not confirm that tho!) I wanted quick and affordable Japanese food so I came here! They have a lot of good fusion items like tacos and apparently a sushi burrito (based on pics other people posted- I didn't notice it on the menu when I went). I was worried the rice bowl would be dry but they assured me there would be enough sauce for all the rice, so I went with one. My bestie and I also got our own set of dumplings and I am glad we got our own because they are too small to be shareable! The dumplings were good but nothing I'd have to have again. The rice bowl was the best! It didn't have quite as much sauce as I like but they had Sriracha out so I was able to use that to get the ratio I wanted. It was fabulous. I would definitely eat here again! To try: Surrito Teriyaki Chicken Tacos Loved: - Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl Liked: - Pork Dumplings
A quick, healthy, & delicious option for lunch! I love their creative spin on the nachos, but my go-to is the tofu rice bowl! I have to specially shoutout the awesome customer service I received today in the midtown food truck park. It was pouring raining, but I was determined to satisfy my craving for that yummy marinated tofu. The guys in the truck noticed that it was raining super hard, so one assured me that he'd walk my food out to my car! (So sweet!) He forgot my fork, but I wasn't tripping... I could get a fork later, but without me even asking he brought me a fork... in the rain! Above and beyond customer service, man!!! They'll always have a customer in me :)
Actually wasn't expecting it, but ran across the Bento Bus when I was at Japanfest At the Infinite energy center, and decided to give them a shot while I was there. They had a limited menu today, but what I decided on was their Asian BBQ Steak Nachos ($7-$1 more for steak), which are Deep Fried wanton chips covered by lettuce, pico de gallo, roasted corn, queso cheese and a little sriracha. Flavors were good, beef wasn't tough, and veggies were super fresh. The Wanton chips were the thing I had a problem with. Tasty though they were, they really got soft very quickly, and couldn't really hold up the weight of any of the ingredients. I had to finish them off with a fork. Service was good and fast. I'm used to putting in an order at food trucks and taking 10 minutes or so to get my order, but they were yelling my name within 5 minutes. I'm glad I stopped in to the bento bus, and would happily go back to try something else!
Yummy! I visited the Bento Bus at the Atlanta Food Truck Park Saturday afternoon, 4/5/14. I was attracted to the Surrito (Sushi fixings in a burrito), but I wanted to be able to eat it all in a bowl. The friendly staff said, "Well you could actually get our Rice bowl instead of the Surrito. It has everything the Surrito has except for the cucumber and avocado, and I can put the cucumber and avocado in your bowl for you." Awesome service! The food was super tasty. Next time I'll ask for a little less of the special sauce or see if I can get it on the side. The sauce is delicious, but I'd just like to have less. The dish as a whole was fresh and refreshing. Such a great find! I'll definitely be coming back for more.
Came to the Brookhaven Food Trucks and this truck just stood out of the crowd. And they did not disappoint. The BEST chicken tacos I've ever had!! I got the chicken teriyaki tacos. The mouth watering flavors and the crunchiness of the tacos were a great combination. I highly recommend this food truck!!! The only thing that turned me off was my edamame was cold. I think they forgot to heat it up?
Our community has been allowing several food trucks to set up for us throughout the week. This was my first time seeing this food truck and decided to partake in what they had. They were like an Asian fusion type of truck. The menu included Asian tacos, Asian nachos, edamame and etc. I ended up ordering the teriyaki Asian chicken nachos which come in full and half. I wanted to grab a ginger lemonade but they didn't have it which was really disappointing since it was on the menu. I walked back to my apartment and opened up the meal. Maybe it was me but I guess I was looking for my creativity to the dish. It was teriyaki chicken, tempura, corn and lettuce. The bowl aesthetically just looked basic. The flavors were ok but it looked like something I would throw together in the kitchen late night last minute. If they do come back I would hope they have the beverage for one and two the tacos are more enticing. Note that the meat choices are steak, chicken and tofu.
I visited the Bento Bus at the food truck lot on 12th Street in Midtown. The whimsical pastel truck caught my attention and I found myself in line. When I got towards the front, I was disappointed to see that the menu did not offer bento boxes or any traditional Japanese packed meals. The truck offered rice bowls, rice tacks, or rice burritos (by different names). I ordered a Surrito (rice burrito) with tofu. I was kind of shocked at how small it was when it was handed to me. The burrito was wrapped in a thin sesame soy wrap. I was intrigued by how something so thin could hold together a burrito so tightly. When I bit into the burrito, I got a mouthful of rice. Rice is nice, but it had no taste. When I worked my way down to the tofu, the marinade began to come out. I was satisfied with my lunch, but overall I found $8 to be a lot for such a small burrito that was mostly filled with white rice. Kinda regretting not opting for the burger bus. Sadly, Bento bus was a bent-no.
My husband and I visited the Smyrna Food Trucks on Tuesday night. It wasn't overly crowded, which gave us time to look and decide what we wanted to eat. After walking around, Bento Bus caught my eye, so I decided to try it. I ordered the Asian BBQ steak bowl, which was prepared quickly, and the customer service was excellent. The prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and look forward to trying them again. read more

One thing about ATLANTA.. is you're going to find a food truck somewhere throughout the city. If you're lucky It might just be Bento Bus. Bento Bus specializes in Fresh, healthy Japanese cuisine. Whenever, you see them, there will probably be a line for their selection of tasty options. Whenever, I'm in the same vicinity I always make my way over to their food truck to get the shrimp dumplings. They are a great appetizer. I tried the teriyaki chicken which was good.. not sure if I would get it again. I would more than likely explore the menu for more options. They have a good selection of items that are on my " to try list" Aside from the food, the customer service is GREAT! The servers are friendly and help you make the best food decisions! If you love a good food truck and good service .. add Bento Bus to the list !!! read more

Bento Bus's "surrito" is one of the most unique and tasty entrees that I have ever bought from a food truck. In the spirit of combining a burrito and a sushi roll (although without the fish), this is cheap Asian fusion at its best. The outer layer is much thinner than a traditional tortilla and is sprinkled with sesame seeds, similar to a sushi roll. On the inside, you get to choose different proteins. I usually order the teriyaki chicken version. The meat is well cooked and the remainder of the filling, which includes rice, fresh avocado, seaweed, and mini fried onions, tastes fantastic. It truly is the perfect blend of Japanese and Mexican street food. I highly recommend giving this food truck a try if it happens to be in your neighborhood. read more

Hands down my new favorite food truck! The surrito is like a giant sushi roll, with chicken, rice, edamame, cucumber, avocado, and a special sauce with a tiny kick of wasabi wrapped in a soy sesame seed shell. It was do good I ate 2 and even ordered another to take home to my husband who loved it just as much! read more

One of The Best Food Trucks in town. Great tasting, healthy inexpensive food. Surritos are awesome. Nachos: i could eat a pound with that sauce. SO GOOD. Inexpensive and the people who work there have great smiles to make your day. I couldn't make it there today but i had my brother pick me up a Surrito. Hit the spot! read more

Let me start by saying I had no idea that this was a sushi and burrito combo. I was just walking on campus and wanted to try something new. I ordered the teriyaki chicken Surrito. It was great! It honestly tasted like a combo between sushi and a burrito. The proportion was also pretty big. I also got an order of the bbq steak nachos. The flavors were good, but the chips were soggy. All in all, it definitely is worth a try. The service was also really fast. They only had two people working and I got my food in less then 5 minutes read more

I had the BBQ steak nachos. It comes with steak, sauce, pico, lettuce and the flavor was amazing. I only got half because Im very weary of food trucks but this was great, I wish I would've gotten the full. Can't wait to find them again so I can try more! The only con is the portion for $6 I literally got maybe 6-7 chips and the carton was very tiny. The surritos that I also saw other people got were also tiny. Other than that would definitely try again. read more

I'll start off by saying that bento bus is hands down the best food truck that comes to Georgia Tech. I usually go for the chicken teriyaki bowl for 8 dollars, and each time it is always consistent and it always filles me up. The teriyaki chicken tastes really good along with the all of the other ingredients. Bento bus also has other options besides chicken such as steak and tofu. You also have the option to get a sushi wrapped burrito called a surrito or asian nachos. Bottom line if you are hungry and looking for great food from a good truck, look no further than the Bento bus. read more
