    Drive thru
    Jennifer R.

    I have driven by it tons of times, but this is another place I would have missed if it weren't for the good Yelp reviews. Online ordering and drive through pickup were super easy. The order was ready exactly at the stated pick up time. I thought it was funny they make a note about the spicy pad thai on the menu not being able to be customized for less heat. Then I tasted the pad thai. It was just one foot over the line into "uncomfortably hot" territory for me. Like lips and tongue burning up hot. Also a little heavy on the fish sauce for my personal taste. Hibachi teriyaki chicken was simple and satisfying. It comes with rice and mixed veggies. The side of creamy yum yum sauce really made it. Everything was hot, fresh and reasonably priced. The portions are also really generous, so could easily make two meals depending on appetite.

    I really appreciate the easy online ordering and the drive-thru pickup option, especially right now, but pretty much always. The food was good - the Alaska roll seemed fresh, and could have just used some kind of light sauce, but some soy and wasabi took care of that, and the salmon and crab were great. The crab Rangoon was really nice, with a creamy filling and crunchy outside, and the sweet and sour sauce is my favorite translucent plastic-looking variety XD I also got the chicken hibachi dinner for later, and mostly enjoyed it. The chicken was well cooked and had a good sauce with it, but the veggies were a little cold. The ginger sauce was decent, but seemed unnecessary - I just dumped everything together in a big bowl and that seemed to do the trick to distribute the sauce under the chicken and veggies. Overall this is a good alternative to my usual Chinese and sushi choices, definitely worth trying again.

    I like the concept of a drive thru hibachi and bento box restaurant. I would come here again, food came out quick, but I would try something different. I did not enjoy the hibachi chicken. The pieces were very roughly chopped and not uniform. The quality and appearance was questionable, it may have just been the coating/sauce wasn't really sure what was going on. I never had a piece with bad texture that I tasted but I was still hesitant. The portion size was large, but I pretty much just ate the rice and veggies. I would have actually preferred the size of the veggies and chicken to be swapped but maybe that's just me. The rice and veggies were good tho and I enjoyed all of that along with the ginger sauce.

    I'm so impressed with Bento Go. The food is always fresh and amazing. Every bit taste like it was made just for you. Drive thru line can be long because again they are cooking what you ordered. So be patient because it's worth it. . The pricing is also worth mentioning as it's more than fair. The staff is super friendly. I now drive out of my way for Bento Go. The spring rolls are the best in town and the Hibachi chicken with yum yum sauce is my favorite. Bonus: Their Sushi is great. Keep up the good work! Yum!!!!

    Most of their menu.

    On our birthday, EBS and I was born on same day - I was his older lady, his phone popped up a memory from the year before. He got to eat a Bento box from one of his favorite places. ( I ran a book fair for 12 hrs. that day at school). Got me hungry for one. Not many places in Columbus came up in my search for one so this is my first try. Not the traditional one, I took a star off for no sticky rice ball but not bad for a place in a former Wendy's. Got hibachi shrimp and spring rolls. Shrimp was great, but too much zucchini for my taste. Spring rolls was much fatter than those I love from Pho House in AA, but almost as good. But I can tell you that I love the chop sticks they have. Round and heavier than the ones I have even gotten in higher price places we went. Took an extra pair or 2 to keep with me. For the price, not bad. Will try a few of the others and let you know.

It was spicy and flavorful. There was onions, cauliflower and lotus in the mix. The sauce was so delicious. The Sichuan spice was not overpowering and paired with the white rice was the perfect combo. We also had the fish dish. It was 2 large fishes in a heated pot. I didn't like the bones in the fish. The portion was so big. We were too scared to get a fish bone stuck in our throat that we just picked at it. The noodles and pork was good as well. It reminded me of a Thai noodle dish. My least favorite was the tofu. It was just ok. We also had sake to drink. The dishes were on the pricey side but large enough to share. The sake crafts were big and hot! I really enjoyed our meal and will probably come back soon!

Staff were friendly and checked on us a lot. It's a very try modern looking restaurant. Looks more like a modern cafe inside. Not the vibe I expected but cute! We ordered spicy wontons, stir fried pork belly with green chili, sizzling beef short ribs, and Yangzhou fried rice. We had no idea the dishes all came with rice or else we wouldn't have ordered more. The food came out fast! Portions are definitely shareable. Nothing was spicy. I do think the flavors were a bit lacking. Everything could have been more seasoned but I wasn't mad at it. They do have both an authentic menu and an Americanized menu. Great to see this since not everyone has had authentic Sichuan. I'd come back if I have the chance!

I liked how fresh their veggies were and when they ran out of one thing, they quickly replaced it. I made sure to grab some Napa cabbage, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, tofu skins, and beef. The beef was slightly frozen, which was a good sign because I led feel iffy about eating raw beef that was sitting out at room temp for a long time. They have an assortment of ramen so also got a pack of seafood ramen and was able to split it with my friend. In terms of choosing your ramen flavor, seasoning doesn't matter as much as noodle texture because they just use the noodles and toss the seasoning away. Once you get to the check out, they weigh your bowl and you can pay. The build your own bowls range from about $13-15 per pound and you can choose between dry or soup bowls and spicy or mild. I got the spicy mala soup bowl and it was medium spicy (4/10 for me). If you want more seasoning, there's a sauce bar that has cilantro, garlic, oil, hoisin, and other sauces. They cook the bowl for you and bring it to your table. I liked how they cut the fish balls in half to make them easier to eat. Everything was cooked well but the flat rice noodles got a bit soggy. They also have rice bowls and bingsoo (shaved ice) for dessert. By the time I finished my bowl, I was very full but I'll have to try their other dishes next time. In terms of pricing, if you're not a big eater, it would be a good option compared to all you can eat places since you can control the amount of ingredients and you don't have to feel the pressure of trying to finish all your food. They have containers for leftovers so you can take some home if you want!

The host was friendly and we were seated quickly, which is saying something because nearly the entire (huge) restaurant was full. Full of very old people and zero diversity (always a bit sus). Our server wasn't great. He wasn't actively keeping eyes on the middle circle tables, so ordering was extremely slow and we had to wave him down for a soda refill. No one came to refill everyone else's waters. I watched an outside table be sat after us and ordered before us all full of "thank you sirs". I had to ask 3 times for chopsticks for a 4 top. He brought 2 and one had a dirty wrapper. Minus points. The servers all seem like old guard. One lady kept having to bump into my sisters chair and say a rude excuse me every time - like my sister put her chair in the way on purpose? We ended up physically moving our table over to make it stop. Minus points. I love a more authentic Chinese food. I also love spicy. You're not going to get either here really. I ended up with Szechuan Pork - it was a mild spice but cooked well and flavorful. The chicken with asparagus didn't come with all the veg it said on the menu, but was tasty for Chinese American food. Same with the Tso's though it was a bit on the sticky sweet side for me. The house/combo lo mein was really good. I'd probably get that again if I ever go back. It's all *fine* for very Americanized Chinese food. Leans bland for a bland palate so if you like that, you will probably love it here. So ultimately the food tasted good, but for the mid service and extra price, it was a GENEROUS 3 for me. FWIW It's pretty - the renovation after the fire was well-executed and feels like an old-school Chinese restaurant so that's something. Also: The guy who puts the white paper on the tables also let the paper drape and drag over the head of one of our party while passing our table. So weird.

When we went, there was no wait and only a few other diners. Very clean and quiet. We sat right away. The space was a little cold but it's winter so that's sometimes the case. They have QR menus, which I hate. However, the menu is gigantic, so maybe that's why? Still, it's such a pain to use online menus. They brought ice water out right away and it was maybe a cucumber water? So refreshing and in stainless steel cups! I loved that. We ended up ordering spring rolls (order of 6 for about $6). They were crispy, hot, and delicious. I wish they had an order of 1 or 2. For our hot pot soups, Mr got a spicy broth with some kind of beef and I got the basic broth with a spicy chicken. Mr loved his - he's a big fan of numbing spicy. I tried it and it definitely was spicy but in a good way. Mine was perfect - broth was super flavorful and the chili oil from the chicken added the perfect amount of spice. You also can get extra noodles for free if you dine in, but I didnt have any room left! Next time, I might just get the hot pot without added protein. It was lovely just by itself. As I mentioned, the menu is huge. There are so many things I'd like to try. I'd recommend it and would love to come back again!

There is more than a spirit in the cooking. More than just the soul. But emotion. Maybe Koreans feel this in our blood.
