Food was good, service was quick, and I was on the way back to the office within ten minutes of first entering. The food was tasty, I got a deluxe bento box with shrimp. I asked for the sauce to be on the side, but forgot about asking for the dressing to be on the side. Due to a sugar issue, I need to have all sauces on the side so I can decide how little or how much I want to put on my food. All in all the meal was good, I expected there to be more food as compared to other restaurants that have similar bento box items and a similar price. It was a good place to try and I may return but will have to consider getting an additional sushi roll to be completely full after finishing my meal read more

Decided to try Bento House a couple times in the last few weeks since it's close by, in the Home Depot shopping center. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. It's not a huge place inside, maybe twelve tables. Decor is pretty spartan. The food is decent. The chicken teriyaki could use a little more flavor, but the fried rice is spot on. The noodles were a little greasy for my personal taste. The sushi is mediocre, but it's honestly not a sushi restaurant at heart. I do recommend ordering the bento box over a la carte items- it's a much better deal. For example, six pieces of cali roll are $5, but a deluxe bento box with rice, chicken, salad, egg roll and four pieces of Cali roll is $9. read more

Paid $13 for the Salmon box definitely not worth it. They gave me five little slices of skinny salmon and no sauce either. Taste is below average it was bland and dry and they gave me raw vegetables. Not worth $13 the hibachi places at the malls give u way more and are cheaper. Never coming back and I advised you never eat here. read more

Bento House - 5. Salmon Teriyaki Regular Bento - Japanese Near Me - Reston, Virginia

This little spot is quite good! My brother and I had a lot of spare time after a class let out early and we decided to do some exploring for food. After visiting another place and leaving we decided to stop here and I'm glad we did! The sushi tastes very fresh and it's quite good; the spicy mayo is very spicy, but it doesn't take away from the experience I'd say. My only complaint was I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken gyoza; they weren't terribly, but they were lightly pan fried and I prefer really crispy dumplings. The dumpling sauce, however, was quite good! Edit: When a sushi roll took a little too long to prepare we went up to ask and they corrected the problem immediately and we received our roll quite quickly! The lady even gave us free spring rolls! I'd definitely come again for sushi and great service! read more

Ewwww! I've tried this place twice. I really wanted to love it but the food is gross. Really, just don't do it. read more

I ordered through door dash. Wanted to get the tofu teriyaki bento box however it didnt day online whether the whole box was vegetarian or not. I opted for 2 orders of Avacado roll and Miso soup. The Miso soup is good, slightly salty but good. The sushi however, is not even wrapped tightly enough to be called sushi, its large clunky pieces of unripe avacado inside of broken sushi pieces. I also paid $1 extra to get avacado on the outside I guess, didnt get that. These sushi rolls were $6/order....not worth it. read more

Wow! I wish I had 4 hands so I could give this place 4 thumbs down. I tried this place for the first time today and I think its a strong contender for worst meal of 2017. Before I describe my meal, I want to say that the employees were friendly. The guy at the cashier was professional and the lady working the dining room seemed super friendly. Thanks you two. I ordered the chicken deluxe box with noodles. For $8 bucks and change this will get you: --chicken on top of noodles --4 pieces of california roll --salad --spring roll on paper, doesn't sound too bad. But let me tell you, it was bad. The chicken tasted like it was deep fried in butter and soy sauce. It tasted off, greasy, and gross. The noodles were equally greasy and tasted like greasy noodles and absolutely nothing else. The california roll tasted like something you would pick up at a grocery store that was rolled not at the grocery store. The salad... I can't fault the salad, the salad was not bad. too bad it was the smallest portion in the tray because it was the best part of the meal. The spring roll was a sad spring roll, it was room temperature and looked crispy on the outside -- like maybe at one point in the day it was crispy... but it was not when I got it, inside the roll was watery mush that made me wonder if Jello makes a vegetable flavor. I'm sorry Bento House for the poor review, but I can't believe what I just ate. Well, ate some of; the trash can ate the second half.... but in hindsight, the rumbly in my tumbly tells me I should have cut my losses and pitched the whole container. Ugggh. Why 4 stars Yelp? Why!? Did I order wrong -- is there a secret menu I should have ordered from? :( read more

Miso soup had no flavor, very small portions, and not vegetarian friendly. I suggest no one go there it's a bootleg version of hibachi.

This is the worst Japanese hibachi we have ever had. Both my husband and I found it to be absolutely disgusting. His steak hibachi had a hair in it and his spring rolls, which he has never once turned down in his life, were inedible. I ordered the chicken teriyaki Bento box with fried rice and egg and it was mainly cabbage. The fried rice was not fried and I found one teeny tiny little piece of fried egg in there. Overall this place was a rip off and did not taste anything close to what it should have. We eat from a lot of hibachi places and this one will never make it into that rotation again. Oh, and the didn't include an extra spring roll we paid for. read more

Bento House - The "mixed vegetable" in the bento box that also make up over 50% of what's in the box. A pile of soggy cabbage. - Japanese Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Getting home after a pickup, anxious for lunch, only to discover they missed the extra spring roll that I added to the order with the shrimp and chicken deluxe bento which already comes with the spring roll. Ruined lunch!! read more

It is never packed and although they do seem to have lots of to-go orders in que, I have not to wait to get my California roll and Raman order in less than 10 minutes. It is one of my favorite stop by and pick up places. read more

After a few hours in the sun, we needed a quick and tasty lunch spot. Yelp provided my wife with a great suggestion. This is a fast food option. The plus is the luxury of a sit down table and food brought to our table. We both took advantage of a large Bento teriyaki lunch box. The beef was a pretty good portion. The box was filled with salad, rice, a small egg roll, California roll and the main course. It was plenty of food for a quick lunch. Everything was good, not as authentic as other similar places. They are located in the Home Depot shopping center. Parking is easy close to the restaurant. They appear to also offer small Bento boxes for less thank $8. read more

Was in the mood for some teriyaki when I came across this place on Yelp. Ordered a bento box that included grilled salmon over rice, side salad, veggie egg roll, and four pieces of California roll. All for under $10! The menu was easy to navigate. The food came out quick. The restaurant is open and clean. I definitely recommend this place for lunch. read more

Bento House - Deluxe bento box with salmon - Japanese Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento and Potstickers For the price, it's definitely worth it. You can get noodles in place of veggies if you ask for it. I like the noodles more than the rice. The spring rolls are great too. Overall a good experience. Portions could be increased a little but definitely enough for one person. Taste - 4/5 Quantity - 3/5 Quality - 3.5/5 read more

Do yourself a favor and just go to Sarku if you want chicken teriyaki. I ordered thru Doordash and wish I read the reviews on here. Nothing about my meal was flavorful or tasted good. I got the chicken teriyaki with fried rice. The chicken tasted off. The fried rice was bland. I think the best part was that the vegetables were fresh but those didn't have much flavor either. Someone else said it was worse than Panda Express. I agree 100%. Maybe it was an off night but it was bad enough to where I wouldn't give them a second chance. read more

The pork ramen noodles was just fantastic for a fast service restaurant. The service is also above the fast service level. What a surprise quick bite we didn't expect to be so good! read more

When I went to Bento House I got the chicken teriyaki bento box with the noodles. The chicken was tasty and flavorful, but the noodles were bland, mushy, and very greasy. The bento box was supposed to come with mixed vegetables but I only got one broccoli floret, a piece of a carrot and a few pieces of cabbage in my meal. My sister came with me and got the shrimp tempura roll and she wasn't a big of fan of it, she only liked it because there was shrimp tempura in it. The avocado pieces were bigger than the shrimp tempura and the cucumber was so long. So overall it wasn't a horrible place but it wasn't great, so I wouldn't recommend it to anybody if they want good quality Japanese food. read more

My sister recommended this place to me when I was leaving her house and picking up food to go home. So I ordered the Deluxe Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. I had never gotten a bento box from anywhere before but this was pretty good and it's filling meal for only $10.95. Definitely recommend Bento House. read more

Cheap food but you get what you pay for. I didnt hate the chicken bento i guess but like i said you really get what you pay for. Id advise away from the ramen. Its pretty mediocre. But a okayish place for a cheap asian bento meal if youree looking to skip a lunch basically read more

Pretty good food prepared quickly! Inside the restaurant was casual and clean, and service was very friendly. I tried the chicken teriyaki deluxe bento box and the Tontoksu ramen (aka pork belly). The chicken teriyaki was yummy, not quite unique but a classic. The deluxe came with 4 California sushi rolls, mixed vegetables, an eggroll, and rice. A great deal at $7.85 and quite filling! The eggroll was ok, a good exterior but lacking in its filling. The sushi was ok as well, similar to grocery store-bought sushi but with more fresh rice. Anyway I don't expect top-tier sushi at a place like this! The Tonkotsu ramen was decent, not special but could fulfill a craving. The noodles were soft, and there were plenty of spring onions. This is probably personal preference, but I am not a fan of pork belly in brothy dishes, as it tastes too fatty to me. It would been nice if they had other ramen noodle options (the other one is a spicy version of the Tonkotsu). If you're in the mood for a decent mall-like meal, but as quickly as you can get Chipotle or Five Guys, this is a great local option! I would go for the bento boxes over any of the other dishes (i.e. the ramen). They don't seem to have a website yet, so I've uploaded some photos of the menu. read more

Bento House fulfills what I see as a gap in the Reston area - fast-food Japanese with an emphasis on simple sushi and teriyaki dishes, all served in a "to-go" fashion and in a casual, affordable environment. Located on the south side of the Home Depot shopping center, north of the Reston Town Center area, Bento House is a newer addition to a plaza that has pizza, Thai, Peruvian Chicken, and some chain fast food options. Bento's hours are convenient, but it's not a late-night joint for a Japanese food craving. When I went on a weeknight, they were already cleaning the floors about an hour prior to closing, but the manager/owner on-site was extremely friendly and welcomed us heartily. The menu is very simple and definitely won't break the bank. You order at the counter, and the menu is displayed above the cash register. Take a seat after you order, and your food will be brought to your table in short order. Choose from basic teriyaki dishes, which range from about $5-$8, and include plenty of steamed or fried rice, your choice of protein, and a California roll (with krab, of course :) ). If you'd prefer sushi, there are various maki-style rolls ranging from very simple, such as an avocado roll, to a bit more "complex" for a fast-food joint, such as spicy tuna with avocado. There's a small selection of bottled drinks. The teriyaki dish (chicken) received high marks from my husband, but I found the sauce to be much too sweet. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a California roll, and they were perfectly A-OK. We'd probably go back for a quick sushi/teriyaki takeaway. All food is served in to-go containers, so it's simple to eat and run. If it's not too busy, an employee may come around to bus your table, or there are trash receptacles located conveniently by the doors. There's not outdoor seating that I saw, but there's plenty on seating inside, and parking is simple since it's a very large shopping complex. read more

First time here, looking for bento box and sushi. Found it easily and stepped inside after a person that was warmly greeted as a regular, sounded like ears there weekly. Several other people seemed like frequent customers, diverse clientele of all ethnic groups, friendly staff. I saw they have two size bento boxes on their menu, one that is mostly meat and rice, and the deluxe comes with a spring roll and 4 piece California roll. I got the salmon bento box deluxe and a spicy tuna roll, had a small salad in the box too. You got a choice of fried rice or white rice, I got the white rice. As people had said in the reviews the rice was fresh tasting and good texture. The salmon was excellent, slightly crispy on edges and flakey. The spring roll was vegetarian inside, something like cabbage. The sushi rolls were okay, fresh made with a dab of wasabi inside the roll. The bento was a generous size, and I probably didn't need a roll on the side, was just very hungry when I arrived and the price was reasonable- you may want to try just a box and then decide if you want to order more later. The business was steady but they were keeping up with all the orders when I was there, call ins and people eating there. The dinning area is casual, some seating on stools by the window, lots of tables, good for families, friends, or small groups. You get cups and fill your own drinks. All the boxes are plastic for eat in or eat out. Good prices for good food, recommended. read more

The service is always good and the food tasty, they could have fresher ingredients or less fatty meat but overall it is a good meal!

My favorite place in Reston their deluxe combo is so delicious, portions are generous.

Food was prepared fresh as I arrived a little early. Good service and food was tasty as usual.

Delicious affordable Japanese food. The deluxe teriyaki bento bowl with steamed rice with egg rolls and the volcano roll is our go-to combo for an easy meal for two. read more

I love this place. It's super quick and convenient, and I can order online and they will either deliver or I can pick up. I usually pick up. Rarely takes more than 10-15 minutes for my food to be ready. They once changed their recipe for a Boston roll and I had an allergic reaction. I don't eat that anymore, and stick to only the simplest rolls where it'd be obvious if there was any change to the ingredients. Since I'd eaten here regularly for over a year though and had no reactions, I decided to give them another shot. They did apologize for the recipe change and for not alerting me. It was a new chef. read more

Tastes good, fair priced for what you get. It would be nice if napkins were more accessible. Edited 5-12-16 Last week, we visited again for lunch and napkins are more accessible now. They put extra napkins on each plate for the customers. The place is clean as usual and food tastes good! Next time, I would like to try Mochi ice cream. read more

If you are looking for a quick, fast food place, Bento House is just that. Japanese style fast food. You can also sit down and to eat. It's a fast food joint, like your mall food court place. The menu has a list of sushi and sashimi, Bento boxes and ramen and some appetizer items. The first time I came here, I got the chicken teriyaki bento box, which you can either get regular which comes with vegetables and rice/noodles or delux which comes with California rolls. The second time, I got the garlic miso ramen and that was alright. Kind of what you would expect from a fast food place. And this place will surprise you. The staff is really friendly. I would return to grab quick lunch. read more

Bento House - Garlic miso ramen - Japanese Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Disappointed about our meal. I ordered and paid for extra egg roll which wasn't received. The ones that we did get on the "delux" box were undercooked. Noodles were dry and tasteless. Teriyaki chicken wasn't teriyaki at all. Steak didn't have the Japanese taste we were looking for. No sesame seeds on anything and yum yum sauce was an extra $0.85 cents, doesn't come with the meal. The cashier lady had an attitude . Quick Way is a better option! read more

Bento house is a fast food Japanese style restaurant. You can dine-in, there are tables but most people carry out. I usually get their teriyaki chicken (comes with steamed veggies) with steamed rice. It's what you can expect...fast food. It's good and decent amount of food for the price. Their appetizer takoyaki (fried balls with diced octopus pieces in the middle, with sauce drizzled on top) is decent too. I've had better but if you are craving it and don't know any other place that makes this...Bento house takoyaki isn't so bad to try. Service is as expected like any fast food restaurant, quick and fast and not much of serving. read more

We tried Bento House for the very first time and it was pretty good. We used their website and ordered delivery online. It was pretty convenient. There is a $5.99 delivery fee but was worth it. The driver arrived early, and we liked how their website allowed us to track the driver's ETA. The food was basic but tasted fresh and delicious. We ordered the chicken teriyaki bento and chicken teriyaki bento deluxe, and also a cup of miso soup. It was all tasty, and not over powering. We enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely eat here again. read more

This was so good. I had the chicken gyoza and the chicken teriyaki bento box. Literally everything was perfect. Food was great. The whole F$@&?+% meal SLAPPED! Will obviously be coming back for more in the future. There is limited seating to compensate for covid measures. The staff was nice and attentive to me. The proportions were excellent. Absolutely love this place! read more

Let me premise by saying I really wanted to like this place. However, the sushi rolls and just the taste overall, left much to be desired. The way the meal was packaged was even weird. It was a paper container, wrapped in plastic, and the sushi just look weird and old. I came here at the recommendation of a friend but I have had better an dI can't see myself going back there. Besides the woman kept thinking I was picking up a GrubHub delivery and told me, "Be careful, if it falls out, you're responsible." Good stuff. read more

The food here is just ok, and the selection is small. But my complaint is that I have ordered in person twice, and had long delays because they work on their delivery orders first, not giving priority to the people standing at the counter waiting on food. If you want delivery, you should probably find a real sushi restaurant. If you want to eat in, you should probably also find a real sushi restaurant, or expect a huge delay. read more

All around awesome. Good food, prices, portions, and service. They were quick and friendly. I got the chicken teriyaki bento deluxe which came in at just under $10. This will def be one of my fav lunch break options. read more

Was in the mood for a quick and cheap lunch this afternoon and I stumbled onto this Japanese bento restaurant. I called in to order my food hoping that it would be ready by the time I got there. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they have an official person to handle take outs-but the cashier was very accommodating and I got my food fairly quickly! I got the chicken teriyaki deluxe bento box with fried rice, which I think is their most popular dish, for about $9. Not bad for NOVA prices! There was a lot of food; I had to save some of the chicken and rice for later. It was a hearty meal but it wasn't mind blowing. For the food, I was surprised that the salad dressing they used was closer to Thousand Island dressing than the typical Ginger dressing most Japanese restaurants use. In addition, their California roll doesn't have cucumbers in it, which in my opinion lacked the crunch that was needed for the sushi. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the spring roll the most! The chicken teriyaki was well marinated but the fried rice was lackluster...maybe I'll switch it out for noodles next time! TLDR: cheap and filling lunch place to try! read more
