Beef noodle soup
Brenda L.

Were shopping in this plaza, and this looked like the best choice in the food court. They had a sign for famous beef noodle soup from Taipei, so I gotta try it! The beef is actually quite good! Nice and tender, and they were not stingy on it either. However, the noodle is completely wrong for Taiwanese beef noodle soup! Also the broth was quite thin, not what I expected. Maybe I was expecting too much from a food court stall, but they did say it's famous so raised my expectation! I do appreciate having this option in the food court, but probably wouldn't get it if I visit again.

Best beef noodle I have ever had in the states! I am from Taiwan, have had many traditional beef noodle soup. By far this is the BEST! Hands down. Even better than din tai feng. Make sure you stop by when you are at the outlet.

Curry chicken, sweet and spicy chicken, fried rice
Wilson T.

As far as Asian food court food goes, this is some of the best we've had. The food felt fresh, the flavors were good, and wasn't too overcooked. The curry chicken is remenescent of Cantonese curry and the flavors hit the spot. Chicken felt a little bland and a little overcooked. The sweet and spicy chicken wasn't too sweet and the chicken was still tender. The fried rice was fine but didn't taste like anything. Some salt or soysauce added would make it way better.

I love this place. I know it's fast food. But loved their bento boxes with noodles and fried rice. Always picked up different chicken sides - Orange chicken, sweet b spicy, curry chicken - plenty of options! The staff is just awesome. They offer samples, especially for kids. Patiently waits for us to pick the food. They will add adequate napkins and utensils without asking. That's always the case no matter how crowded this place is. Expect long lines. Looks like I am not the only one likes their food.

Noodles, teriyaki chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken. DELICIOUS

Food was delicious, fresh and the portions are great!! And to top it off, service and ambiance was great. Will be coming back if I'm in the area.

Beef noodle soup

Wow! I don't give 5 stars often, but this was a pleasant surprise on a busy holiday shopping afternoon. As soon as we walked in the food court there are 3 things we noticed. 1) Cafe bento sitting in the middle of all restaurants has a long line. 2) there's a beef noodle soup sign. 3) eventhough the line was long, they seem to have a good system that moved customers fast. Plus it was 42 degrees outside noodle soup sounds perfect. We ordered the signature beef noodle soup, sweet and spicy chicken and teriyaki chicken. And wow! I don't think I've had beef noodle soup this good in the states, it was as authentic as it gets. The portion was great with lots of beef and the broth was savory. The sweet and spicy chicken is fresh with a little kick, perfect for kids, and the teriyaki chicken was juicy. Although the chicken was more typical mall food, but the beef noodle soup was phenomenal, I can't recommend it more. Lastly the service was great, the lady was attentive, we went back several times asking for bowls and utensils because we are splitting the meals. She was polite and gave us more than we asked. Usually I only go to food court because I am at the mall, but I will go out of my way and come back just for the food!

If you carving Asian foods after shopping here for a long day. This is actually not bad honestly.

Combo lunch - Orange Chicken, Mushrooms, Fried Rice
Arleen E.

When I saw the name Cafe Bento, I was expecting Japanese food. Hmmm... really more Chinese food. I ordered their combo of orange chicken and mushrooms with fried rice. I know this is in the food court so my expectations were low, but sometimes you get lucky and hit an unexpected surprise. Well, not this one. Food was bland, overcooked and just not good. Their portion sizes are large so if you are hungry and not "picky", you may like this place.

Highly recommend! BBQ chicken is really good! So is the beef noodle. Will definitely come back!

Lunch with steamed rice and curry.

Delicious, well made food. Friendly and professional staff. One of the female staff members speaks Mandarin and English. Does give customers food samples! Would try again next time I go to this outlet mall!

What they serve is neither Japanese nor bento. This is a fast food Chinese restaurant. It's misleading to say the least.

Been visiting the Costco Shoreline for the main warehouse, gas, and of course, the ever popular and…read morecrowded food court since 2002. (I've stopped in also at Costco SoDO, Woodinville, Lynnwood, Lynnwood Business, and Silverdale). Useful to have the individual ordering touchpad kiosks and then the wait until your number is called. I recently noticed this past week that the tables have been increased and reconfigured. That helps with seating and traffic flow. Definitely I avoid it during peak dinner time and weekends....simply too crowded! What's been ordered over the years? Of course, the hot dog and soda. My fave go to. I miss Pepsi since the switch to Coke products, but I read somewhere that now bottled water is offered now. Pizza by the slice or whole pizza. There's only cheese or pepperoni. Remember the days with the combo? Still can't beat that price for fresh out of the oven pizza though. The Homie loves the chicken bake. I tried one of the deli type sandwiches once, didn't care for the thick bolo bread. Tried the giant chocolate chip cookie, prefer the days of the long churros instead. The espresso type bevs are just okay, prefer the soft serves. I sure miss the days featuring mango though. Service is expedient. For the price and convenience, it's a treat. Rarely pause to eat onsite, usually it's to go.

Costco hot dogs and pizza slices are always 2 star dishes, but given the price, I need to give them…read morefour stars because they are so budget-friendly. Nice staff and location (although I'm usually here for groceries not the food court).
