Visited Miko's Bento today after a friend recommended it. And while the window menu is extensive, full of colourful, appetising pictures, the food was quite unspectacular. Orders were placed for an Unagi Bento Box and Dragon Roll. While the Bento did have a generous slab of Unagi and white rice, the rest of the items in the Bento were tepid at best...a very small mixed green salad with a Mayo dressing, two small, fried cabbage rolls, two small pieces of tuna sushi, a slice of orange cut in half, and Miso soup. The Dragon Roll was okay, but pretty ordinary, yet my partner who ordered it thought it was delicious...I tried a piece and wasn't of the same agreement. All nitpicking aside, Miko's Bento seems popular with the locals and is a busy location off Sherwood Road. But when you've had better, like at Koto Sanpo in the city, and pay a few dollars more, it's hard to find the value in Miko's offering...apart from not having to drive and find parking in the CBD. And one last thing. Those free chopsticks are too small for human hands. In fact, they're the shortest I've ever found at any Asian restaurant. Next order, try going up about 10cm.
