    Sanbeiji Three-cup chicken bento. Sorry for the half-eaten photo.
    Ira B.

    Probably the best Chinese food in town! We've been coming here for years, and every time has been great! I usually order their Sanbeiji (three-cup) chicken and crispy chicken meals. Today, we decided on the Sanbeiji and broccoli beef bento boxes. Huge portions, tasty food! The owners are great. It's also fun to eat in the former Pabst brewery. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Bento Xpert is my go to spot when I need a pick me up meal! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the food is authentic and delicious, and the portions are huge. Their five spice chicken and three cup chicken bento boxes are my favorite (though everything on the menu looks so good!). They also have other appetizers and boba as well!

    Despite going keto, I still crave their five spices crispy chicken. Their bento box is very generous and well thought out - a lot of places will give you blah sides, but their sides in the bento are all fresh and delicious. You can chose to get any of the main dish as a "side" rather than as part of bento. This used to be much more affordable, but on my last visit (6/2024), the bento was $12, and the side was $9. I wanted to skip the bento since I wanted to just cheat my keto diet with my favorite five spices chicken, but if you want a better deal, get the bento. Both their braised egg and egg rolls are yummy. I actually also really love their stir fried veggies. My second favorite dish is their Beijing beef. It has been a while since I've been in and I see Korean chicken on their menu now, and I look forward to trying it out. So far, I haven't had anything here that wasn't good (Ok, with the exception of their pork bun, which wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was as good as their other greater fare). What I love more about Bento Xpert are the owners. Samuel and Lydia are both so friendly and make my visits pleasant. Thanks for bringing this authentic Taiwanese experience to Milwaukee!

    Friend recommended this spot that in a small food court nearby Fiserv. Really good, authentic, and flavorful. Favorite was the five spice chicken. So crispy and tasty! Would 100% come back and order. Was pretty quick and the spot had lots of tables.

    Delicious, made to order five spice taiwanese popcorn chicken. Huge portion, I was able to eat it for three meals.

    Three cup chicken and Beef Broccoli Bento

    My go-to place for simple Chinese/ Taiwanese food such as five spice fried chicken, three cup chicken, katsu and beef stir fries. The bento comes with rice, the dish of your choice, a braised egg or spring roll, and a side of vegetable. It's a food hall style restaurant in the first floor of the Eleven building. There are several other businesses within the space. Good value for the price!

    Everyone recommends this place! They have very reasonable price for good food!! I am Taiwanese, when I miss my hometown food, I will stop by here. We always order no. 10 and no.15, the gua bao is amazing too! Don't forget to order bubble tea while you are eating there!

    It can be really difficult to find authentic Asian food, specifically Chinese food in Milwaukee (Wisconsin in general). It lacks a Chinatown and a ton of restaurants cater to a more western palate. I was craving some good Chinese food and found this Taiwanese place on Yelp. I have eaten here several times (including ordering via app) and my favorite is the tofu (they rotate two different kinds of tofus per week). What I like about the restaurant is how it's kind of a food-court style (they have premade food everyday) or you can order a specialty item which takes longer to cook. The owner is really friendly and the staff have always been efficient. The flavors are definitely authentic and I love that you can pick up your food and be back at work- so convenient. Would definitely recommend this place for good Asian food. It's not greasy or too fried which is common in a lot of carryout places.

    It's located in a food court of sorts. Good food, fast service. Nice staff Would come back again for a quick meal

    HongShao Pork Bento
    Shanna C.

    This place tastes like home! I never thought I would be able to find such authentic Taiwanese food here in Milwaukee. Ordered the hongshao pork bento (pieces of braised pork belly) and the braised minced pork bento (a classic Taiwanese comfort dish). Both dishes were bursting with flavor. Each bento comes with a side of veggies and a tea egg. You can order to go or to dine in the open seating area. The service here is fast and friendly. I cannot wait to come back to try their other bento offerings and gua bao (basically a pork belly bun). I am specifically eyeing the five spice crispy chicken bento and three cup chicken!

    5 Spice chicken.  Taiwanese popcorn chicken.  Great flavor and crispy!
    Jed H.

    Hidden inside Eleven25 at Pabst, this spot is one worth making the trip for. I had been meaning to check it out for awhile but it was just out of the normal rotation of favorites. Boy did we miss out. Everything ordered came out hot and fresh and I could not have had a happier belly! Stewed brisket came with rice and veggies and reminds me of a dish that someone's grandma would serve up to you on a cold winter day. The pork cutlet was flavorful and not greasy like typical cutlets you may find elsewhere. The 5 spice chicken was probably my favorite, I'm biased towards fried chicken. The gua bao were a good app to start. Definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu!

    Authentic asian food ,friendly owner. Really good! I think they're still new, so it's a little quiet. But they have great food!

    Taiwan 3-Cup Chicken
    Stefanie C.

    HOLY CRAP. This has GOT to be one of my favorite meals EVER. So simple yet so memorable. Located in the food hall connected to Eleven25 (student living complex) I was looking for a quick lunch before working my event across the street, and Bento Xpert has a perfect 5 stars on Yelp. Got the Taiwan 3-Cup Chicken, which took some time to prepare but was sooo worthwhile. Would go FAR out of my way in Milwaukee to come back and get this again. Everyone who is a harsh critic of "authentic Taiwanese food" raves about this place, and for good reason.

The minute we walked in, a man sitting next to the hostess--who appeared to be part of the restaurant, not a customer--just stared at us. No greeting, no smile... just staring. The hostess also seemed a bit confused when we walked in. She asked if we had reservations; we said no. Then she asked if a high-top table was fine, as if the restaurant were packed. We agreed, assuming there would be a long wait for a regular table. But as she led us over, there were plenty of regular tables available. So right off the bat, the vibe wasn't particularly welcoming. As for the service, the waitress did a great job with the welcome and checked on us at a perfect pace. We also liked the decor--plenty of cute design elements that would make for great photos and draw people in. The menu was well done too: not overwhelming, just the right amount of variety in each category. Honestly, this part is why I gave the place more stars than I probably should have. As for the food, it was just okay for us--though that may have been due to what we ordered. There were only two of us, and we got three dishes: shrimp fried rice, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. We thought that would give us a good variety. The food had good flavor, but all three dishes tasted very similar. If you try these same dishes elsewhere, the flavors are usually more distinct. I do wish we had tried more of the appetizers and drinks--maybe that would have changed our rating a bit.

Looked under our table We ordered beef rolls, pork soup dumplings, bbq pork Bao buns. They asked if we wanted "special soup" - which tasted like watered down chicken noodle soup with small pork wontons. The beef rolls came out and i was shocked to see a cold flour tortilla, lettuce and beef rolled up like a taco. This is no where near a beef roll and was informed they do it differently. They kindly removed it from our bill. The bbq pork buns tasted like they were heated up from being frozen and had an overly sweet flavor. dumplings came out very fast which makes me think they were just heated up in the microwave or something. We were in and out in about 30 minutes:/

Their sign out front says dumpling house and their menu still says Yamato sushi house. Identity crisis, no? We went in thinking this was dumpling house so we ordered dumplings. I was craving some soup, dumplings, and shrimp hao gaos. At around 13 bucks each, they were quite good. And just because I don't quite feel full with having just dumplings for dinner, we also ordered their fried rice noodles. The pictures really don't do justice for this amazing dish. They don't have fried rice on their menu, but this noodle dish tasted just like fried rice And smelled like it too. Hubby and I were really pleasantly surprised. We added a chicken to the dish, but if coming back, I will stay with just a noodles without adding protein. Our server who was Chinese, spoke very fast, and I had a hard time understanding everything he was trying to explain. But he was very eager, very nice, and very excited about us trying different foods. As it was Chinese New Year's week when we went in, he told us to try their special New Year's soup and that he was really really good. In fact, he was saying this to everyone who came in. The soup was about $13, but not big like a bowl of pho. It came in the medium size bowl, clear broth, with a bunch of mini dumplings inside. It's really not something that I would normally order, especially after ordering two orders of dumplings, but I must say the taste was pretty good. Would I have it again? I will have to remember not to get pushed over by the nice enthusiastic server. Since we didn't know, this was a sushi place going in. I had no sushi and don't necessarily think I will. I hope they figure out their identity and stick to one thing. So far, I am happy with their dumplings and their fried rice noodle.
