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!

5 Spices Crispy Chicken Bento

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
sunny z.

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!

Mapo tofu!

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.

Plenty of space for parking in the back. Dark, smoky atmosphere with Asian interior designs. Perfect ambiance for BBQ! We had both Korean BBQ & hot pot, absolutely worth the price for both. The BBQ was by far everyone's favorite. We recommend the beef bulgogi, beef short ribs, and pork belly--these were the best for BBQ. Since it was all you can eat, we had a few servings of them. There was also a counter for different types of sauce one could get and a dessert section. The hot pot was great as well. We recommend the bone broth and the fish/shrimp/meatballs with it as well as udon noodles. The service was great overall. Our server was busy, but she managed to be attentive with us. We left with our belly full. We will absolutely come back.

We ordered the bulgogi, steak cubes, pork belly, spicy pork belly, beef tongue, rib meat, shrimp, creamy corn, fried buns, and a few other smaller items. The meat was all good quality! Our tables' favorite meat was the bulgogi for sure. We also loved the creamy corn and fried buns. However, beef tongue was so tough though I couldn't even bite into it (but honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it!). The sauce bar was a fun touch to get exactly what we each liked. It was a little tricky being in a booth and getting people out to make their sauce combos though but we made it work. There is also a dessert bar but nothing was super intriguing to us and we were pretty full from the meal. The only downside was the service. Other servers seemed awesome but our waitress was totally aloof. She missed multiple orders of ours and we had to reorder those, and she acted super confused each time we had to tell her. She didn't give any direction on the process, and each time we wanted to add to the order we had to wave her down. I don't think she proactively checked on us once. A table nearby had the hotpot and that looked really good. We were intrigued and want to come back and try it. All in all, a great experience, and $31 per person for the amount of food you can rack up felt like a really good deal.

The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup. I love coming here and their little outdoor patio is great when I want to bring my pup or just enjoy the nice fresh air as we eat our meal.

This time we noticed they had a covered/heated patio seating area which was great for the chilly day but we got two barstools inside.

I love the appetizers, noodle entrees, sushi, etc. I usually order take-out from here but tonight I decided to dine-in with my mom. My mom is vision-impaired and walker-dependent. When we arrived, Alex greeted us and opened the back for us to go through, so my mom didn't have to use the front steps. He also walked us to a table, made sure the table was stable, and held it for us as my mom sat down. He was very helpful, patient, and kind. He also walked us to the restroom and held the door. Our waitress, Becky, was also very nice and provided great service. We ordered the veggie gyoza appetizer, the veggie delight entree, Sumo pork buns, a Spider roll, and for dessert we shared the chocolate and green tea mochi. From the service to the food, everything was exceptional!

We were told it gets busy for dinner right away and with no reservations we decided to go right at dinner opening time. There was a line forming outside the door before they opened but luckily we were second in line and got seated right away. The staff is very friendly. They check on you often without rushing. Multiple people greeted us and then thanked us on the way out. All of their sushi options sounded delicious. I got the Very Crunchy. It was served with a fun presentation over dried ice. The sushi itself tasted amazing, even though sushi isn't my favorite. I got the Pad Thai for an entree and I honestly think it's some of the best Pad Thai I've had in a while in Milwaukee. The sauce to noodle ratio was spot on and the flavor was perfect with the right amount of spice. Portions were great as well. Overall, definitely make sure to stop by!

We came after visiting one of the nearby breweries. We were seated right away at the bar. I had a glass of the Black River sake and my boyfriend tried the Blossom of Peace. His was much sweeter and I was very happy with mine. They weren't served in traditional sake cups, just in regular wine glasses but this was good with me as they were a normal sized wine pour. They had a special for Bluefin Tuna. We shared the Nigiri trio by cutting each piece in half. My favorites were the two fattier cuts ( otoro, and chutoro ) I remember at this point we wished we had ordered another appetizer since the restaurant was busy and our main sushi rolls took a bit of time to arrive. We decided next time we would at least get the edamame in between plates. The rolls we ordered were the Ponzu Jello and Riverwest. The Riverwest description listed a smoky miso mayo which I did not notice a different from regular flavored mayo on a roll. The Ponzu Jello was unique and worth trying! The rolls were fat and very filling so we did not need to order more than two! I think we both agreed that the Riverwest roll was our favorite of the two. After that we noticed there was a special for some premium sake, so we ordered the G Joy. Very delicious, easy to drink and a perfect size to share. I will add this restaurant to my places to visit again!
