We've been on the hunt for a restaurant that throws together a simple, yet delicious teriyaki and rice bowl. We tried the teriyaki plate and spicy chicken plates, and neither disappointed. The right price for the right spice! We have a high spice tolerance, but if you don't be warned about the spicy chicken. It was coated in flavour that many could find overwhelming. I felt it was just perfect. read more

Have ordered door dash a couple times from here; plus picked up take-out in person. Food is consistently good; family especially likes Korean BBQ & teriyaki read more

Solid Teriyaki. Can't go wrong with a classic chicken teriyaki. Thank you for dinner.

Absolutely fuego!!! Best teriyaki spot in my local area FASHOOOOOOO Portion size for takeout is perfect to fill you up. The salad is quite spicy but incredibly tasty-- not bland at all. Looking forward to trying other dishes. read more

Bentoz Teriyaki - chicken teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Amazing teriyaki! One of the best I have had in Portland. The food is always consistent and very fresh

Great little teriyaki spot hidden on Barber blvd. The inside is small but the service is very, very fast. I ordered the chicken teriyaki for my first visit and had no complaints. read more

This is your typical hole in the wall bento spot. You know what to expect when you come here. I did appreciate the large portion sizes but as with everything else, inflation has caught up and you're paying $13-14 bucks minimum. A nice Asian food alternative to the pricier places in the area. read more

Bentoz Teriyaki - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The food was decent but the prices are insanity. Beef teriyaki coming in at $16 and Spicy Chicken at $14?! Nothing amazing enough to be paying those prices. Service was quick but business was slow. Spicy chicken was okay but not what you'd typically get from any other teriyaki place. The flavor and texture of the beef teriyaki was off. read more

Oh bentoz, posting this review makes me so sad. I order bentoz once a week probably (seriously) and love their teriyaki, spicy chicken and chicken udon - but today I was eating my chicken udon, picked up a noodle with my chopsticks, only to find a baby cockroach on it. I just don't know that I can get over this one. read more

Bentoz Teriyaki - Baby cockroach in my udon - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yumyumyum! It has a great meal with excellent service. The Bentoz owners always have a smile and are happy to take your order. Not every place is as kind. I ordered chicken teriyaki for my sons and the spicy chicken for me this time. It was a huge portion with a tasty flavor. Yum! My picky two boys finished the meal without any complains. Succeed! This is my go-to teriyaki place and definitely would come back to try more food here! read more

I've been going here for years and it's so good. So quick for pickup, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend buying a bottle of their in house teriyaki sauce. read more

I find teriyaki a great option for lunch- relatively quick, relatively healthy and relatively cheap. I've been going to Bentoz for 25 years since I worked nearby in the late 90's (wow, it's been a long time) and this place is a solid option for the area. There are not a lot of teriyaki options in this area of Portland, and would consider this one of the better ones. The rice is fresh, chicken quality is good and teriyaki sauce pretty good. Prices have definitely gone up, but this is the norm these days but you can still find a pretty decent lunch here for around $10. read more

It's a chill location, and a pretty decent place for yummy food as the cost of living increases and prices continue to surge on food this spring/summer 2023. my partner generally sticks to teriyaki chicken but I will say that this place definitely slaps when comparing their teriyaki recipe to other places in the portland area. I dabble in different dishes every now and then, and some plates are okay based on my taste/texture likes and dislikes (i'm autistic) and other plates are just amazing we definitely appreciate the consistency in the dishes Bentoz! keep making that magic! read more

This is a delicious teriyaki restaurant. Chicken, beef... they taste very good! Friendly service, clean space... I look forward to lunch time. read more

Spicy chicken! Large portions for reasonable prices. Shredded Salad adds texture. Plenty of plastic to take with you. Will return. Thanks for lunch. read more

Cute little spot with solid lunch deals. I got the spicy chicken plate and it was wonderful. Their coleslaw is da bomb! Absolutely coming back again. read more

I absolutely love this place for such an delightful fulfilling dinner to end my day with. Their teriyaki sauce is like so good like off the hook, and I love the salmon but the chicken is good too! Their rice too is like the best in town. Its light and fluffy not to thick like I've had elsewhere. read more

Bentoz Teriyaki - Salmon Teriyaki plate with gyoza - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have been this place for a few years now. Owner is always super nice and she knows what she is doing! Food is great always and this place can do " No sauce " chicken teriyaki with flavor. I do have pre-diabetes so I cannot do the sauce. They always make fresh food and give consistent quality. I personally love their spicy seafood Udong because the soup tastes like one of korean dish which is called " jjambbong ". Their sweet and sour chicken was super good and it was flavorful. Chicken was crispy and wasn't soggy at all! Sometimes, fried food could be soggy because of the sauce and personally I love how they serve sauce on the side. Owner is always friendly and fast service. read more

There are a lot of teriyaki joints in this part of town. We've surprisingly tried a lot of them. This has become one of our faves. Though I guess it's not fair because they have bibimbap. We went with the spicy chicken w/ 2 gyoza, beef short ribs, and bibimbap. The food was pretty quick and there were a constant stream of people at the weird hour of 3pm, so that's always a good sign! The spicy chicken was more stir fried than grilled, but it was still tasty & the gyoza had cabbage in it so I think it tasted slightly different than other places. I was happy to see there was a cabbage slaw with thousand island like dressing on the side (I wasn't sure if there'd be a veggie). I guess you can sub steamed veggies, brown rice, or mixed grain rice for the white rice for a fee too. The beef short ribs were good as well. We really liked the bibimbap though! Sunny side up egg, bulgogi beef, stir fried cabbage and mushrooms, and spicy bibimbap sauce. Tasty! Will definitely be one of our go to take out spots in the future! read more

My favorite place. I go there always. I love bentoz spicy chicken teriyaki. Place is very clean and staff very friendly.

I tried the chicken and did not like it. It had a soapy taste to it. I don't recommend going here.

I have eaten at a lot of dirty hole in the wall Asian restaurant in the greater Seattle area and this reminds me of just that. A hole in the wall teriyaki place. Large portion of average food. We have left over I don't think we will actually eat. read more

I've been going here for years and am always so satisfied with the food and customer service! I love the chicken teriyaki and have yet to find another spot in town that does this dish as well as Bentoz does. Highly recommend. read more

Okay, I'm missing what the heck Bento is. I feel like it's just regular Chinese or Japanese food - I didn't notice anything special. It's rice, and something else on the side - either meat or veggies. Hmmm... I still don't get it. So, please elaborate! Anyway, I had the spicy chicken - and although it was fine, it wasn't too terribly special. It was $5.95, no veggies, and white rice. I even asked when I ordered if there were veggies, and she said, "yes". Perhaps she didn't get my question, or perhaps she thought that the little side of cabbage classified. I guess technically, it is a vegetable. So, I'd say probably I don't need to go back to this place... or if I do, that I should ask for a veggie side skewer. But now my meal will cost me $7.70 +tip, and that seems very high for white rice, some onions, peppers and a little chicken. I did feel pretty good after eating here, which I assume was due to the fact that they do NOT use MSG. That's enough for 3 stars right there. Oh how MSG will hurt the tummy! read more

Looking for authentic BiBimBop in suburban SW? Look no farther then this small but authentic and cheerful Korean run bento joint on Barbur Blvd. order at the counter and pick up there to go or at one of the half dozen tables. It is my go to for lunch take out, always fresh and the way you like it with a choice of sauces. read more

hmm.. prices have gone up over the years but so have they on everything else. The bentos here are really good and they give you substantial portions of meat which are well prepared. I do wish that they gave more vegetables as someone else has mentioned. They give you a very very small cabbage salad which is good but so little you can finish it in one gulp. The food tastes fresh and healthy and gives me cravings to go back. read more

Past experiences great. Most current one was an absolute nightmare. Poor customer service.

What happened to the orange chicken!? It used to be wonderful and the last few times I got it it's been just meh :/ Kinda dry with very little sauce and the rice is not the same kind anymore. read more

Bentoz Teriyaki - Great food! - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had an excellent meal here! You get tons of food for the price and the flavor is great! I got chicken teriyaki and a side of pan noodles for take out. Loved the chicken and pan noodles- I had enough for 2 big meals. The coleslaw that came with the meal was warm and pretty sad tasting. Will ask for it to be left off next Time! read more

This place has been amazing the 4 years I've been coming here. The owner is very sweet and food is delicious! You can tell she really cares about her businesses reputation. Very clean and VERY generous on the meat :)))) I was away in San Diego for two years and just picked up a plate to go and its like I never left! read more

The food is not bad here, actually it is fairly yummy. And the service is usually fast, if the Asian lady behind the counter isn't too polite. So why the scathingly bad rating? The christian radio playing in the restaurant at all times. That is why. I don't mind people's religious views AT ALL. But a place of commerce is not a place for religious proselytizing. I went to this place to eat, not to hear how "there is power in the name of Jesus" playing through the speakers. There is also power in my wallet. And it says: Forget Bentoz! Can you hear it? read more

Chicken, Beef & Pork with Rice or Noodles, with about 100 other items I have never tried... great daily special! check it out! read more

One of my favorite teriyaki places it on the side of town. Very friendly management. Food is amazing I suggest you try the pork teriyaki

If you are looking for quick Teriyaki for a relatively cheap price this is the place. I recommend the chicken teriyaki and the yakisoba. The chicken teriyaki comes with steamed rice, (deli-sh,) and pickled cabbage. It's very tasty and affordable. They accept credit and debit. I could eat here every day of the week! read more

Great lunch special. Today was my first time here so my review is based on their lunch special. Spicy Chicken/rice , two yummy soft Gyoza and drink was delicious. Fast service and the cashier listened, I mean really listened as I told her make it extra extra spicy since I am a Habaneros person. Not all restaurant take me seriously when I ask for extra spicy. Loved it extra spicy and it was enough food left over for dinner. I will surely return. read more

Ehh this place was average. Nothing to write about honestly.. The chicken teriyaki was decent. But I came w no veggies besides a small sauce cup of cabbage. And for 6 bucks that's not really worth it. Came once and that's enough for me. read more

I hate to do this because the food is still good and cheap...but.....there is no heat in this place. I went there today and froze. It's not the first time. I asked the owner what was wrong and she said the heat is sucked out by the cooking vents. I suspect she's just being cheap, nothing a couple of well-place electric heaters couldn't solve. Is it to much to ask for a few degrees of comfort on my lunch break? read more

This isn't yer high class joint folks. You're not gonna be bumping into yuppies, guppies or $chluppies here. What you get is almost street-vendor-like simple fare on the cheap. The best things here (imho) are the teriyaki chicken and the pot stickers. They do offer California rolls but a word to sushi afficionados: Steer clear. It's a roll that's one step above the ol' grocery store sushi rolls. The Teriyaki Chicken Bento is enough food for 2 especially if you upgrade to add the 2 gyoza. They serve a little sweet pickled greens that I think is made of chinese cabbage? It's kinda good. Here's why Bentoz gets 4 stars from me: - In the 2+ years I have been occasionally stopping here for random quick bites they've been consistent. The food has remained good. - The food never takes long to arrive - The price is really stellar (and has only gone up in price very little over the years) - Polite staff (I am pretty sure the owner is the one behind the counter. She's got good perky/peppy moments and not so perky but always polite) read more

Martha R: Bento is the Japanese word for box/bag lunches. The idea is portability and compactness, contrasting from normal Japanese meals in which the elements of a meal are served separately instead of in one container. In America, the word "bento" has become a catch-all term for a plastic box filled with rice and asian food. Bentoz is good. To me, the servings are large enough that I can have half for lunch and the second half for afternoon snack or a small dinner. I would stick to the bento orders, but it looks like some people do like the potstickers and skewers. I cannot bring myself to give this place five stars, even though it fulfills every need that one would have at this place, because the restaurant itself is a little dirty, there isn't any beverage option besides bottled soda, and I have gotten an upset tummy from the food before. Oh, and the name sucks. read more
