I Heart Bento

I was excited to see the hamachi collar offered as a special bento and ordered that. First, I loved the fatty fish collar which was pretty tasty (plain shio yaki style). The sides were on the sweet side (as verified by my blood glucose reading after) and overall the quantity was on the smallish side. Compared to the price/quantity of a Tea Era or Bento Express box lunch (which are both within 3-5 min driving neighborhood) it was pricey, but the side dishes are of higher quality and I was rooting for the husband-wife business partners.

This place has a great interior. Small, not meant to be a sit down place. Geared toward take-out. I got their chicken teriyaki bento box. First of all it looks stunning. I wish it tasted as good. The edamame salad was great. But the chicken was very dry and tasted like it had been cooked/reheated multiple times. Also the prices are a lot. I would have snapped a pic, if my battery didn't die inside the restaurant. This costed $10.95. So don't go by the Yelp prices anymore. Definitely $$. Overall, great ambience, food left something to be desired. Probably won't be back.

They give you so much food for what you are ordering! I love the little bento boxes and the owners were so nice. They deserve all the stars! I got the teriyaki chicken with fried shrimp, and I wanted a side of California rolls. They said they were out the side of rolls, so they gave me a combination with the chicken, shrimp, and rolls (which was on the menu). I didn't even see it and I appreciated the work around. Next, I would love to try the salt and pepper chicken bento!
