    Spicy Ginger Pork, gyoza, shrimp dumplings, spicy tuna roll
    John B.

    Just my kind of place! Small unassuming place you would miss if you didn't have a GPS. So I was in the mood for Japanese takeout and this place nailed it. Very good menu with lots of choices. Reasonably priced and extremely friendly service. Inside doesn't have much in the way of seating which is fine. Actually a small Asian grocery is part of this place. So cool. The food is fresh, carefully prepared (looks pretty and appetizing) and tasty. Spicy ginger pork was very yummy. Not too much spice. Gyoza were amazing. I could make a meal out of that. Shrimp dumplings were ok. Could be from frozen. Sushi was good. Fresh, nothing crazy but it is a side along with the box. Lots of food for the price. I mean look at the pic! I will def be back!

    Chicken Cutlet Box
    Emily J.

    A lot of people recommended this place, and I'm so glad I went. Ordered the udon, the chicken cutlet box with a spicy tuna roll instead of California roll, and a side of rice. Everything was fantastic. So simple, so comforting, even though this isn't something I grew up with. I did a little shopping while waiting for my food, and while there wasn't a huge selection, there were some great staples for me to restock my pantry at home. The food was well-packaged for the drive back, and nothing spilled. The people were kind, the place was clean, the food was great...what more do you need?

    Salmon lovers, (miso soup and salad came with it) and dumplings

    This sushi was some of the best I've had in awhile and I eat a lot of sushi. The rice was so fresh and soft, the fish was fresh, the miso soup was perfect and the dumpling sauce was so tangy. I haven't had ginger dressing since moving to the area and the salad was so refreshing here. I am so glad we went there today!! The deal was amazing as well. Such good prices! I even tried a new drink and loved it! Overall great experience.

    Spicy pork ginger bento box! Seasoned so well that I order it every time.  I'll try to check out the rest of the menu next time.

    Bento-Ya is an Asian grocery store and cafe hybrid. The selection of groceries is small, down to the necessities/staples, however their menu is as plentiful as any other Japanese restaurant minus the hibachi. You have an array of sushi, kitchen dishes, and bento boxes to choose from. I've had the spicy pork ginger bento box and it's packed with flavor and not spicy to me. The bento boxes are good portions and includes the main entree, miso soup, ginger salad, seaweed salad, pork dumplings, rice, and half of a cali or spicy tuna roll. Place and pay for your meal order at the counter. There's a small seating area in the back room past the two grocery aisles. It's not ideal for large groups, more so a quick dine in spot. Don't expect alcohol and wait service where you can spend hours there shooting the sake. It's not that type of venue. There's a small parking lot, but if that's ever full, there's residential street parking available. The owners are friendly, the location is on a main road, the food is good, and you can do some shopping too.

    Side parking - many spaces available

    Always a great meal. We love the platters. The teriyaki boxes and noodles are great.

    We came to the public market for Bands on the Bricks, which happened to be Latino night. We found…read morethe food truck, El Latino Express, towards the end of the night so by the time we ordered they only had chicken or beef empanadillas. Their menu also consisted of pinchos (kabobs), fried plantains, bacalaitos (fried cod fish) and a meal rice plate. We got one beef empanadilla for $4. Reflecting back to my first impression last night, I am reminded of the JLo song, Ole Ole because the empanadilla was Oily, Oily! After taking a few bites of the part greasy, part crispy and flaky empanadilla, there was a pool of oil or beef juice gathered in the foil. My stomach hopes it was the latter. I've never had such a juicy empanadilla before. I wanted to be cognizant of the beef flavoring, but it was hard to get past the oiliness. The woman mentioned that they opened less than a year ago and partake in the food truck rodeos. I hope I see them at the next rodeo so I can give them another shot, or at least their other menu items. She also said they have a Facebook page for followers.

    This is a review of the Cuban sandwich from El Latino Express at the July 2014 Food Truck Rodeo. It…read morewas amazing. Every bite was so delicious I couldn't believe it. Many people around me were eating fried plantains and other things from this truck. I will order the Cuban again next time as well. There's something about the way latino's cook pork that makes it truly amazing. I believe it's the particular cut of pork they use that's special. You practically have to cut it with heavy duty kitchen shears. It's soooooo good.
