Really enjoyed this spot inside the Rancho Market! The service was very friendly and quick. We ordered a bulgogi bento and I thought that it would be smaller but servings were good! Overall a yummy experience and I'll come back for more. read more

Tried this place on Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised. I shared this with my husband as I'm a little particular about trying new things. I was really impressed with how well seasoned everything was. There were a few things I didn't like, but it was more personal taste than execution. The amount of food for the cost was well worth it. We shared and had leftovers. The gal that took the order was attentive and friendly. With it being inside the market it is a little loud and chaotic but it was pretty nice to be able to sit inside and eat. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Pro-tip: Pay attention to the menu pictures, not all bentos are created equal. Some have more sides than others. Highlights: I really like this concept because I've always enjoyed the variety you get from a bento box. I liked everything that came with the bento. The menu had a lot of options. I like that even the soups come with some sides. Lowlights: It does seem a tad expensive because the protein portion is a bit on the smaller side. I'm not sure if it's because we ordered a tofu soup on top of a bento, but my order came out way later than my friends who ordered all the bento. read more

Good food. I've done takeout twice and ate there once. The vibe of an Asian grocery store was definitely different to eat in, but I have no complaints. It was clean and everybody seemed polite. There are lots of foods around you so it's hard to tell what everything smells like by itself. The store does a good job of keeping all the tables clean and ready for the next customer even on busy days. I'd like to go on the weekday if I'm going to eat there . Takeout on the weekends they're very crowded.!! I've had the small and large plate both very good. My favorite is bulgogi beef. When I get my next craving fir Obento I'll be back.!! read more

Bento Box Fact: The Guinness World Record for the "Most Expensive Bento" category weighs more than 4.5 kg, pried at 300,000 yen ($2,234.62 USD) and featured the best quality wagyu beef from the Tottori prefecture and served along with a serving of silky Kinu Musume rice The bento box I had at Bento Sama fetched a much smaller penny at $16.95 but I still felt bougie! My bento had teriyaki salmon with a vast accoutrement of yummy bites on the side such as a cool coleslaw of sorts, a pasta salad, sesame dressed broccoli, kimchi, two varieties of pickled ginger, a seaweed salad, a good portion of steamed rice, and more. It was great! If you're feeling peckish and want a little bit of everything under the sun, come to Bento Sama! They're inside the 99 Ranch food court so go do your grocery shopping, buy a yummy beverage, order a bento, and enjoy. read more

My wife and I recently tried their bentos for dinner and we'll be back. Delicious Korean food in Ranch Market!

We've gotten food from here a few times and have been overall pretty satisfied with our bentos. They are all very well packaged and there are several compartments in the box to hold all sorts of delicious sides to go with your main meal. If you have a CLS discount card you can get 10% off your purchase if you pay in cash too which is a nice little perk. read more

Bento Sama is inside 99 Ranch Market, great way to grab a bite before or after grocery shopping. For some of the entrees, they have a lunch or dinner price. They have other options like cold noodles, tofu soup, etc. if you're not feeling a bento. It seems like their side dishes change up depending on the day. I love bento boxes and all the variety of sides that come with the main entree. The portion was pretty large and I ate this for two meals. Everything was so fresh and delicious! ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Bento Sama - Chicken Teriyaki & Beef Bulgogi (ig:@cravingswithcat) - Korean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

What can you serve but never eat? A tennis ball. The 99 Ranch Market food court is becoming more and more popular with all their tasty offerings. From Chinese bbq, Korean fried chicken, mochi doughnuts, and now bento box meals, what's not to love? My wife and I shared a teriyaki salmon bento dinner for $16.95. The banchan offered was good, the salmon was nice and flaky, and the wife really enjoyed the seaweed soup. For one person, their dinner bento is a lot. For two, it was just enough (although we did get KoFC from K-Monster too). They're good. read more

Saw this place after shopping at 99 Ranch! Located inside in the food court it's a pretty interesting concept with Japanese Bento with a Korean twist. We ordered the Salmon dinner bento set for $18 and it could've easily fed two people. It had a great variety of sides including radish pickles, kimchi, macaroni salad, japchae, steamed egg, rice and seaweed soup. The salmon was grilled beautifully and came with a teriyaki dipping sauce! Wife really like the seaweed soup and we were stuffed after polishing all the food. Quick and easy and it comes in a to go box if you're in a hurry as well! read more

Bento Sama - Bulgogi bento - Korean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I had dental appointment across the street so I stopped to eat here because I love the pork bulgogi. The dinner portion after 3:00 p.m. is $17.99. Pork bulgogi is my favorite Korean dish because I like the slivers of fatty pork in the sweet chili sauce. And I love the little kimchi dishes that come with it. I picked Bento Sama out of all the eating choices in this 99 Ranch shopping center because some of the options were so expensive... such as eight Korean fried chicken wings for $16. One of the reviews of that place said she paid $32 for only 16 wings. Ouch. The word Bento means box tray with many sections as shown in the picture hence the word Bento box. The word Sama means teriyaki. The pork in my Pork Bulgoji was perfectly spiced and sweetened love that sauce. My only complaint is they only gave me half a cup of rice to eat with all that spicy pork. When I asked for more rice after finishing mine and I still had more than half the meat left in my bento box, the cashier looks at the cash register menu and was going to charge me for more rice. But when I told her if I ate at a sit-down restaurant, not take out, they give me as much rice as I want for free. Her face lit up as if she knew that was true and went to the back to get me a full container of rice, more than the first time, with a big smile, both free. You get to take the cool bento box in the wooden looking out of tray with clear plastic cover to take home and reuse again. So I am giving this little Bento Sama 99 Ranch food court restaurant five stars. read more

When I'm craving flavors I enjoy coming to 'the Ranch' ... this one around we chose Bento Sama as the main course. We both had the Bulgogi Bibimbap. I had them replace my carbs with more veggies. It didn't scream flavor as we hoped but was still good. Bulgogi amount served up was good... read more

Don't come for the ambiance, come for the food. It is located in the lobby of a grocery store so the atmosphere says eat quick and don't linger. :) Japanese Bentos with Korean influences are showcased on the menu with a variety of choices. Bibimpap, Dak Juk, Pork Bulgogi, musubi, chicken teriyaki and Korean ramen are some items currently being offered. We decided on the pork cutlet box from this bento business inside the food court of Ranch 99 grocery store. $15.99. Entrees are made to order, so be ready to wait 5 mins plus for you items. We received a generous serving of a pork cutlet with katsu sauce, coleslaw, green salad with Italian salad dressing, steamed rice, soup, seaweed salad and substituted bean sprouts (kongnamool) instead of the pasta salad. I was expecting an Asian dressing like ginger, soy or miso but that's okay, Italian still worked. Thin and crispy were the cutlet strips and the kongnamool delicious! The box was enough to feed two of us when we added chicken tenders from another Korean eatery just further down the strip mall. (My next review!) I'd dine like this again! read more

The nice Korean lady at the counter was absolutely wonderful. She recommended the spicy squid and pork combo bento... AND CAN I SAY IT WAS DELICIOUS?! It was the largest bento I have ever had with easily enough food for two people (unless they have a massive appetite lol). The ban chan was top notch. I'm not a fan of coleslaw but it was still pretty good. Flavorful and absolutely worth the money. Great for take out and am definitely going to become a regular here !!! read more

Got the beef bulgogi dinner box. More than enough food for 1 person so value was great. Enjoyed all the sides. Bulgogi itself was a bit too sweet and quite fatty for my likings. Will return to try other menu items. Wait tike for food was 5-7ish minutes. Associates were still being trained. Manager seemed to run the chicken stand next to them so he was running back and forth. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch and we were not disappointed! The two lunch sized bentos were enough to fill us both up, and we feel like we got our value's worth after eating. Everything was fresh and the bulgogi was flavorful (pork and chicken). If you want something fast and casual, yet provides excellent variety in their side dishes, I would recommend this place 100%! read more

The decoration seemed really interesting. Immediately caught our attention when we drove by. The boba was alright, unfortunately the food was a hit or miss. Some meats were extremely chewy, couldn't eat it. The fried stuff was good. I personally liked it. Rice was a little too wet for me. We had a hair in our food as well but thankfully they changed it. Lot of questions though. Told us the cook was bald, yet he came out and definitely had hair the size that was in our food. An interesting one time experience but probably wouldn't make the stop there next time. read more

Always kind of hit or miss. I love the verity in the boxes. But some times it's not always that's great.

Excellent pork bbq and salad! Love this place bc the food is consistent and delicious and fresh.

I got my mom her order of crab in ranch. And looking on the side of me, I saw bento sama. And I found what I've been looking for for the longest time..... She was really nice in explaining what are on their menus. I didn't even have to wait that long, I waited exactly how long she told me, and she was setting the containers for my take out orders...place was very nice as well. My daughter enjoyed it there. It was not even that noisy it was. It was very welcoming for me read more
