Really small shop but nice menu for bento boxes, sushi rolls, and other typical Asian fare. Courteous and fast service. Seems like a take out favorite. read more

Hiro Bento - Tofu bento box with miso soup extra - Japanese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

Found this restaurant traveling down I-44 and looking for a place to stop. The food was good. I got the shrimp bento served with your choice of rice or noodles. Spring rolls, chicken dumplings and small salad as sides. Reasonably priced. Fun drinks in the cooler. Friendly staff. The dining area is very small. Looks like a lot of people were doing take out. Great alternative to fast food. read more

Hiro Bento - Shrimp Bento - Japanese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

This is a small no frills little diner. I got their chicken and shrimp combo bento and shrimp tempura on the side. Portions were decent. Flavor wise the bento was kind of lacking. I had to add several packs of soy sauce to my rice and chicken to give it just enough saltiness to enjoy. The shrimp tempura was like something you buy from your grocery store freezer and heat up. Overall it's a still a nice pit stop off the highway for lunch when passing through the town of Rolla. read more

The food was amazing, the service was timely and the ambiance was serene. I would definitely recommend this place for its bento boxes alone.

Summary: Well made Japanese fast food. Despite the Hiro Bento billboard above the parking lot asking if you're tired of fast food, the restaurant pretty much is fast food. There's counter ordering and meal pick-up and quick prepped meals. That's fast food, isn't it? My beef bento box was filling. It included flavorful beef strips atop a bed of rice, two fried spring rolls, three fried dumplings, and a small portion of cucumber salad. All were terrific. Hiro also offers teriyaki dishes, noodle plates, and poke bowls. The small dining room was comfortable. However, judging by the steady stream of walk-in college students, Hiro Bento does a brisk take-out business. One complaint: my request for ice water was rejected with an instruction to buy bottled water (at an inflated price). read more

To be honest, I'm not sure how we found this restaurant. I didn't find it on a restaurant list in Rolla, and my friend found it, but I will say that it was exactly what we all wanted. We had four people come to this restaurant for the first time on a weekday afternoon. The restaurant has very little seating, so I would treat it primarily as a take out spot, if possible, though there were a few small tables. The format of the restaurant is quick service, in that you place your order on a kiosk in the restaurant and they fill your order. Even if you eat in the restaurant, the order is delivered in takeout containers in a bag, along with plastic ware and soy sauce and duck sauce packets. The food was impressively tasty and quick. It happened that we ordered four different things, including poke bowl, two bento boxes, one with chicken and one with shrimp. The last person ordered chicken teriyaki with extra tofu. I was impressed that all four dishes could be made in such a short time, because they were all prepared in front of us. In fact, if you have ever gone to a teppenyaki restaurant where the chefs do the performance over the grill, that's kind of what they're doing there, only it's not for show. The food was hot and tasty. I would definitely recommend the extra tofu, which was a nice, tasty, slightly crispy addition. Also, the teriyaki with rice and extra tofu felt like a three or four poun meaning that there was an immense amo food for one person. The bento boxes also appeared attractive and tasty. Of all the dishes, I would probably recommend slightly against the poke bowl if you are accustomed to ordering from poke restaurants, and the reason is that you don't pick out a dozen toppings like you do at those places. There is a pre-set number of about five toppings in the bowl, so you might feel disappointed if you're accustomed to being entitled to more. However, it was quite delicious as well. The restaurant also offers bubble tea and red bean tea for about $5 per glass and you can customize the amount of sugar you want. Next time I totally want to try the sushi burrito, so l plan a trip back already. Definitely try this spot. It's a great addition to Rolla's restaurant landscape. read more

Hiro Bento - Salmon Poke bowl and shrimp tempura - Japanese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

I really wanted to try this place cus it had pretty good reviews and was a new spot. The inside is super cute and clean. There was barely any wait for me when I went around 1pm. I ordered the beef bento box which was good but not amazing, shrimp poke bowl for my friend and she said it was good, and got the sweet and sour chicken kids meal with fried rice. It's honestly a decent amount of food for the price you pay. It would be better if there were more meat. Overall, I had a good experience. Quick, decently priced, and looked clean so made me feel more at ease eating the food! Definitely worth trying. read more

Poke bowls were pretty good and not terribly expensive. They get a lot of student and take off traffic but wasn't too busy for lunch. There are 2 or 3 tables only so if you plan to dine in I would play it by ear. Drinks are only al la carte.. read more

Hiro Bento - Beef poke - Japanese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

Ordered through Doordash. I didnt like their beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki with noodles. They tasted weird. I couldn't eat them. I was gagging. I am from asia, I know how they should taste and smell. They only thing I ate from my order were they fried dumplings and rolls. I would not order from this place again. read more

We ordered this to go and it was not good. It's sad when a 4 year old won't even eat the rice. The best part was the salad and I gave it to my son. Also my friend found Maggot in her food so needless to say we will never eat here again. read more

This was a good experience! They were fast and friendly, and the food was wonderful. The dumplings were my favorite. The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is because we sat inside and the dining area is very small with only three tables. I highly recommend it for takeout! read more

Hiro Bento - Bento box with chicken, steamed rice, spring rolls, fried dumplings, and salad. - Japanese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

I would NOT eat here if you have any special dietary concerns. I used the online ordering process and specifically asked for them to put the sauce for the poke bowl on the side. It was my only special request, it's a pretty easy one to accommodate, and they couldn't handle it. I think the poke bowl had potential to be very yummy. However, it was swimming in sauce. I also got a fruit tea that was way too sweet to my taste (threw it out) and the angry dragon roll (which was nothing special). I am not from Rolla so maybe this is the best choice locally but I do not plan to order from them again. read more

Very fresh ingredients. Great service, very friendly and informative. We will stop there everytime we go to St Louis. Only 2 minutes off of I-44. We loved the bento box. read more

I love going to this place. They have wonderful food and are super nice to me every time I come in. The service of the food is out super quick and it always tastes amazing. They are a little more expensive than most fast food restaurants but it's worth the money because it is so much more healthy than regular fast food restaurants. I've taken a couple of my friends there and they loved it too. Highly recommend. read more

Best authentic Japanese food in Rolla. Flavor and quality reminds me of living in Japan. What real "Asian" food should taste like. Hopefully the same owners open a noodle house! ‍ read more

Came here with my son for lunch. I had the beef bento and he had the teriyaki shrimp. The beef was tender and very flavorful. He said the shrimp was very good. The portions are nice and you won't leave hungry! read more

I love this place it's basic they have a vegan option and it's affordable. There isn't much more to say, I always am full, and the portions are more then sufficient. Happy client thank you. read more

Excellent! I highly recommend Hiro. Poke bowl was perfect in portion. Made fresh and rather quickly.

Portions are tiny (about like a small appetizer) and prices are very high ( like what most restaurants charge for a large entree with sides, salad or bread). If the food was outstanding, it MIGHT be worth it, but the food is quite mediocre. We definitely won't be back. read more

Ordered the bento box horrible. The salad was the warmest in the box. Meat was cold, rice was over cooked, dumplings not cooked all the way and spring roll was mushy. Extremely bland for japanese food. Will not order again. read more

This is my favorite Asian place in Rolla! It's affordable and they give you really good portions, plus the food isn't too heavy and greasy like some places, it's perfectly balanced!! Everything is delicious, I find myself going there at least every couple weeks. Couldn't recommend more! read more

Greasy food. Soggy salad, spring roll not fried well. Meat over rice ， making the rice soggy too. I won't buy it again.

Great food and service just wish they had more room to sit but still great if you want a good meal and don't want to coook
