    Modern, cute, many tables that look like picnic tables that you can share with other people. They're also charging stations at each table pretty much. The place is clean, and we can have lunch specials. Look at my pictures of the menu. I'm always looking for a bento box place, so I'm really happy to Find this Place. The food is fresh, and it came out quickly.. Asian (Chinese) pop music and it's not obnoxiously loud thank you. I like how it's quiet in here. And it's was just right (the temp). The only thing I didn't like was the edamame was soggy and over cooked but was still good. Ginger sauce dressing was amazing! Fresh and gingery! And a bathroom for customers! Always a nice thing in nyc.

    Decent fast casual sushi takeout. Dropped by to pick up 2 orders of the 3 roll combos for takeout late Friday night. Service was quick; space is clean and bright with seating aplenty. For our 3 roll combos we ordered: Philadelphia, salmon avocado, and spicy tuna roll; and Alaskan, philadelphia, eel avocado. Slightly troubled that the Alaskan roll is the exact same as the salmon avocado roll- why list it as separate entities if it's the same thing? All is well, tastes great, just a bit confused.

    Came here for a work lunch and the service was quick, the staff were welcoming and nice. The food was good, I got the lunch special - chicken and shrimp tempura rolls.

    Got to try the chicken teriyaki lunch special today. Excellent price for $14. - miso soup - delicious - chicken teriyaki - healthy and not too much sauce - brown rice - a little dry, and not much of it, but enough - edamame - fresh and tasty Enjoyed the meal. Very good price, healthy meal with broccoli and chicken, and will be back. Welcome to Murray Hill!

    Tried this place again and they never disappoint! Today I got the Flaming Dragon Roll and it was heavenly; I devoured it in about 3 minutes. Fish was really fresh and tasty + perfect blend/mix of flavors with the rest. Service was great too, thought it would be $18-19 but they are doing a soft opening so it ended up being closer to $15. Restaurant is clean and the staff are really sweet, patient, and friendly. Highly recommend!

    I know this is a bento place but the sushi roll I ordered was so scrumptious. Folks are super nice too. I can't wait for trying the bento boxes soon!

    Really nice, clean, bright, and fast sushi spot, just opened last week. Very friendly staff and a huge addition to the neighborhood. This was a sushi restaurant that closed during covid. The new one is much better!!!! I got three roll combo lunch special.

    Bento NYC is an excellent new lunch spot for people who work in the area! The sushi is fresh, prices are very reasonable, and there are 4 tables inside. Recommend!

    I like the food here and had a very decent experience my first visit. But after today, I won't be coming back. Tldr; I spent 40 mins waiting here, paid extra for something I didn't order (no refund), and found myself wishing I had gone somewhere else so I didn't get stressed out on my only work break of the day. Today, I ordered a chicken teriyaki special and chicken tempura roll and found my total a little too high ($28 for lunch, I was expecting closer to $22). I asked for a receipt to understand the cost but there was no itemized breakdown, didn't think too much of it as I didn't want to be a bother by asking for a second receipt (in hindsight, I should've). When the food was ready, I was about to walk out when I noticed an attached receipt to the food said "steak teriyaki". When I brought it up and said I ordered the chicken, instead of just correcting the order the cashier woman (who was pleasant before) became frustrated and insisted I said steak and must've ordered the wrong thing. I politely told her I do not eat steak for cultural reasons, so there's no way I would've asked for that. She repeats that I said steak and that she confirmed it when she repeated my order... which I definitely would've corrected if I had heard her say steak. I told her I couldn't eat the order they made and she told me firmly that I would need to pay for a new chicken teriyaki special if I wanted it. After already overcharging me for a steak teriyaki I know I did not order, and couldn't eat. Basically we went back and forth a few more times about me ordering "steak" and I felt pretty gaslit. The restaurant was empty except for me- the situation just felt like a tiring and unnecessary charade when it could've been really easily fixed. I just wanted what I ordered and even if she didn't think I was right, I wasn't about to shell out another $16 for a miscommunication. She went into the back to tell the chefs what happened and they sided with me, agreeing to just give me what I ordered. I had already spent almost 30 mins here by this point. The chef directly brought the revised chicken teriyaki out to me with a sympathetic smile and his warmth made me feel better about the situation that clearly was not my fault. I just wanted to get out of there at this point, so I didn't ask for a refund for being overcharged and the woman who took my order certainly didn't offer. Food was ultimately good, but I value peace from my customer service. Won't be back.

    I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

They are always respectable, listen to your needs, help you find whatever you need. 10 out of 10 best food in the neighborhood. I always come here for the sea urchin and salmon roe/caviar - and it has yet to be beat. It's so good! One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.
