    Pricey, but decent. I enjoyed the bulgogi and yakisoba. The portions are filling but probably not worth $21 (large, after tax and tip). I thought the concept was really cute though! There's plenty of indoor seating available.

    Main - Spicy Chicken Teriyaki,  Sides - Meatball, steamed egg, dumplings

    Reasonably priced, cool concept, but was just good. Food was good - the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki was too salty and saucy, the meatballs were good, steamed egg was bland, and dumplings were good. Print your receipt - Went to Bentoful for lunch and ordered through the kiosk. After paying I selected the 'no receipt' option. When my food was ready, I walked up and was told to show my receipt, which I said I didn't print. I was scolded about how were they supposed to know it was mine. I eventually was given my food, but they shouldn't have no receipt as an option if it's required to grab your order.

    Cute place to grab lunch - there's small and large bento options. I like that you can grab 1/2 portions of the vase so I got half salad and half kimchi fried rice. The kimchi fried rice only had kimchi in it. I wish there was also egg, so it felt more like rice with kimchi/gochujang. The fried chicken pieces are big and come with sauce on the side. The sides were a bit underwhelming. I chose dumpling, egg, and broccoli salad. I like the options in general and the packaging was good for traveling back to your office. It was a bit pricy for the portion.

    Great spot for takeout or lunch! They have a couple tables to eat if youre dining alone but not much space otherwise. You can take a look at the food and then order at the kiosk. The workers there were very nice and helped sort me out. The large size comes with 3 pill shaped togo boxes and the smaller size only two. You pick a base (I chose half rice half kale), a main dish (spicy chicken) and three sides (meatballs, spring roll, and brocolli) The kale came with some sort of pesto on the side as a dressing and it was very good. The meatballs were italian-esque and the spring rolls had something starchy perhaps potato inside. Overall I barely finished all of it and felt full AND healthy so def great fix.

    I really enjoyed this place for lunch. I loved the variety and options. For bases, you can do grains or salads and have a main dish with it as well as 3 sides! It really allows for a well balanced meal. I tried the brown rice and power greens with sesame dressing with chicken teriyaki/teriyaki chicken. Also tried the chicken yellow curry. For sides I got the soy braised egg, fresh fruit, and chicken wings. It was all very delicious and I would definitely come back here. They have plenty of seating options around the building as well. Staff was very attentive and friendly to answering any questions.

    I am surprised that this place gets such good reviews. Went in for lunch and was really excited to try this place out but the experience I got was pretty disappointing. I never seen this much of oil in Fried rice and also the main chicken dish had undercooked potatoes and smelly chicken. Portion of kimchi was super small as well. For 16 dollars, I think quality of food could be much better

    Came by for lunch and it was amazing! The restaurant is located in the Amazon Amelia building but has an outdoor entrance along Fairview Ave. Ordering is done on a tablet near the entrance. They have lots of different options for creating your bento including what main & side dishes as well as condiment choices and other customizations. Beautifully packaged and easy to take on the go or you can dine in. The restaurant has fairly limited hours but you can eat in the seating area of the Amazon building anytime. Bulgogi was excellent, very tender and flavorful, kimchi fried rice had great flavor and the eggplant, spring rolls, and kimchi were all very tasty and rounded out the meal nicely. One of the sauces they had as an option was a lemongrass sriracha which I hadnt heard of before but this went perfectly with the bulgogi giving it a more punchy flavor. Portion size looks small in the little containers but its actually a lot of food. Staff was super friendly they even came by and asked if i'd like to sample a piece of their fried chicken. (This was also excellent) All in all amazing experience and I will definitely be back next time I am having lunch in the area. Highly recommend!

    Their food just hits so close to home! SLU barely has any korean food so not only am i happy about this place but even more so because the food is very tasty. Ordering is super easy, you can order online or in person via a kiosk (covid friendly because it minimizes your contact with anyone) and you just pick up to two carbs, three side dishes and one main protein. The variety of options they have is simply amazing and the portion is very generous. The last time i got bentoful, i got half white rice& yakisoba, soy marinated egg, avocado salad, stir fried eggplants and korean fried chicken as my main. It was so much food and the leftovers ended up becoming my dinner. The only thing i wish i could change is that they close just after lunch time. Id love to be able to eat bentoful for dinner too!

    Teriyaki chicken, yakisoba, spring rolls, dumplings, broccoli salad
    Katrina G.

    Stopped in about 30 minutes before they closed on a week day and ordered Teriyaki chicken, yakisoba, spring rolls, dumplings, and broccoli salad. The employee advised us that they were out of a few items at this time. The yakisoba noodles were really good, as were the spring rolls and dumplings. However, the teriyaki chicken had a really tough texture and was hard in some spots. I ended up not eating much of the chicken. I was surprised to see how large the portions were for the price and I ended up with lots of leftovers. It was an okay meal, but nothing special. Also-- fyi, they're only open 3 hours a day, so check their hours before you go.

    Packaging feels a little bit wasteful but I believe it's compostable.

    While visiting Seattle for the week, my girlfriend and I worked out of Wework and wanted something quick and easy to eat. We found Bentoful a few blocks away so we gave it a try. The location appears to be very new but we were pleased to see the staff was both well prepared and appeared to take great care in making sure their food is clean and safe. You start by customizing your bento (base, meats, sides) on slips of paper, similar to a lot of poke places. I ordered mine with: Base - Brown rice and greens Meat - Chicken Teriyaki Sides - Seaweed Salad, Dumplings, Eggplant The total came out to $13. I immediately realized I should've taken a closer look at the counter before making my order as some of the sides like the yakisoba and fried rice looked much better than my basic base order! The bulgogi also looked great for an extra $1. The food was all pretty good. In particular, the sides were very flavorful and IMO the highlight. All in all, a great place to grab a bite for tech company lunch prices.

    This place hits the spot for my Korean food craving. You fill out your card and pick Rice or noodles, your meat and 3 sides. This is a hefty amount of food and I was stuffed after this meal (I couldn't work for the afternoon!!). I paid extra for the beef bulgogi which was 1.50. The meal with no subs is 12.99 which is a great price for the quality and the amount of food you get. This will definitely be one of my go to lunch spots in SLU!

I walked in and decided to give them a shot. Try something easy ..I got the wonton soup with egg noodles.. the broth was umami and garlicky, and warmed up my soul. The wontons were nice and tender, flavored with shrimp and pork. It was like a warm hug. Hit the spot! Second, I ordered the crispy spicy fish. It was an extraordinary presentation even my Chef friend was delighted to see the culinary expertise of the Chef. And it was also very reasonably priced. The service was excellent. They were very welcoming. The decor of the restaurant is super upscale. It looks like a fancy club. This would be a great place to bring a first date.

He offered great menu suggestions and shared the story behind the restaurant--his brother designed the space, and he built it with the help of friends, which made the experience feel even more special. The menu is Thai-forward with a few standout dishes from other Asian cuisines mixed in thoughtfully. The décor is gorgeous--an elevated, glamorous tribute to the water buffalo that feels bold yet refined. We ordered the Miang Kham, Crying Tiger, and Mango Salad. I always order Miang Kham when I see it since it's such a rare find, and this one was excellent. The Crying Tiger was tasty but came out more well done than the medium-rare we ordered. That said, we still finished it because the dipping sauce was fantastic and the purple-and-white sticky rice was delicious. The Mango Salad was beautifully prepared with shredded mango that had just the right crunch and tartness. Generous portions served. Even during a busy late afternoon, the chef handled guests with ease and a big smile, serving beautifully executed dishes and cocktails. Very impressive. We'll definitely be bringing friends here next time we're in Seattle. Tip: They do true Thai spice levels here--proceed with caution."

Everything was delicious, noodles, bok choy, and the broth was killer. I drained it after I ate everything. Staff was really great and helpful, we had a kid in our party and they had no problem making a spiced up order of their kids noodles. Get the black sesame ice cream, it had a peanut butter flavor and was super creamy and smooth.

Momiji was one of those and it was extremely close to the movie theater we were walking out of. Sushi sounded great so we strolled over to get some. The sushi didn't disappoint... not in the slightest! We got some specialty rolls off of that portion of the menu and they were so very good! Fresh and extremely flavorful! Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!

I booked a reservation weeks out and we got our party of nine right in for brunch on a Sunday. We just loved the vibe of this place from the moment we arrived. The decor. The ultra friendly staff who greeted us and sat us at our table. And I always love an open kitchen in the dining room. This was the last meal with family before we headed back home to Hawaii later that evening. So the goal was to order as many dishes as possible and share share share. We ordered the Tower of Chengdu Wings, Japanese Zosui, Burmese Laphet Thoke salad, Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread, World Butter Board and Beirut Hummus. Talk about a dance party on your palate. Every dish was so flavorful, thoughtfully prepared and so damn tasty. Broke da mout to be exact. The wings were amazing and packing heat with Thai chilies all over. I avoided the chilies and devoured the chicken. Yum. I loved the Burmese tea salad, cornbread and hummus. The World Butter Board is a must if you're in the mood. They have a great selection of cocktails and beers too. The Kat Chai was refreshing and delicious...and the Rupee Beer Basmati Rice Lager was something I never had before. That was really nice as well with the meal. After we finished our meal we couldn't help but notice all of the different collectibles displayed in the wall. This character with big red hair caught my wife's attention. She was excited to find out they actually made shirts with the character on it...so we also left with some Nue swag. All in all a great Sunday morning for bunch here at this spot. Awesome food, excellent service and a paid lot right next door for convenience.

Once seated and the rest of the party arrived the service was quick and courteous. I ordered the "chicken and waffle", friends had the "sunny bunny" and the French tacos. Shared the corn bread. Chicken was super yummy! The sichuan pepper sure was tingly and the generous sprinkle of birdseye chili on top was giving enough heat to make the coffee a little uncomfortable. And no, that's not a bad thing, quite the opposite. Cornbread is almost impossible to cut without turning into a head of crumbles, but the flavor is on point. Note: the "topped with coconut shavings" is an understatement. There's almost as much coconut as corn here. So if you're not a huge fan of coconut you may want to steer clear. The place is hustling and bustling, and there is little space between the tables, but while seated you don't mind; the noise level is ok and your conversations don't carry between tables. Been quite a while since I was here last, and as with every time I do I wonder why I don't come more often... Great place.

Back to my rave: this place is comfy and a great place to just sit in when it's chilly outside. There's a comfy couch near the entrance, many knickknacks strewn around the inside and it's brightly lit to the point where you feel like you're at home instead of a cafe. The owner of the place is very sweet and welcoming, and the pastries shown around the area looked so delicious. For this visit, my friend and I got the Thai green tea latte, key lime tea, egg tart and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The egg tart was warm and yummy, and quite big too so it has a mochi-like layer inside it. The tiramisu crepe cake had tons of layers of crepe and cream along with the tiramisu powder sprinkled on top. This was creamy, delightful and calming all around, that's how good this cake was! My key lime tea is a mix of Thai tea and fresh lime juice, and I'm surprised that neither part interfered with each other too much given one is sweet and the other relatively sour. The Thai green tea latte was just as great to drink. This place is so cozy and cute, and the owner gave us great service. When you do find parking, come here for some drinks and desserts, it'll be worth it!

Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom. However the icy blend at the top wasn't watery either, there was still some flavor. Overall, it was as expected, but a decent refresher on this street.
