The food was delicious! The veggies was perfectly cooked and had wonderful flavor. The service was great to. Kimchi was not too spicy but had good flavor. Can’t wait to come back. They have an awesome choice for desserts.
UPDATE: The store manager reached out to learn what went wrong and had a chat with the crew. She gave us a refund on the meal and we really appreciate that she took things seriously. It sounds like this happened because of a new chef. We will be back to give it another try to update our review when we are next in the area.
Original Review: We’re HUGE fans of Korean food (grew up in Asia and have had Korean food in Korea as well as in Michigan) but unfortunately we can’t recommend this place. Not sure if they were just having an off day but the food was not fresh, tasted like it had been sitting out for a couple hours and had been microwaved to reheat it. Flavors were not balanced and overall execution was poor. Really wanted to like this place but sorry to say we really didn’t.
Such delicious Ramen (I actually had Shrimp version) was so yummy and soothing to my inner soul. We came in close to closing time but that did not stop their customer service it was on point, nice friendly patient will definitely be back multiple times in sure!
I loved this place. The options were varied the food was made to order and fresh and the prices were good. My family and kids found options that they were excited about and enjoyed. I wouldn’t recommend the wings but the rest of the food I could certainly recommend. The dining room could use some work.
DAMN! I ate here for the first time today with my mom. We got an Oreo shake and a lunch rice and orange shrimp bowl…and all I gotta say is that it was SO GOOD! Everything from top to bottom and absolutely delicious and it is absolutely worth the money. My new favorite place in Lansing. Was also my first time eating kimchi and it was a 10/10. Perfect spice. Staff was super friendly and it was so cute inside! Definitely going here more often.
It’s been 20 years since we graduated from MSU, we bumped into this little hidden gem restaurant on our way to MSU. The staff are amazing, the food is delicious. The food combination of Mexican and Korean is pretty exotic since I never had this combo before, but when I tried it, it taste so good. 5 stars, this comes from a foodie and a Elite Yelper.
Gosh I love this place. I do wish that the prices were a bit lower cause they are on the high side but omg their food is so freaking delicious. Not one time I’ve been here and been upset with my experience. If you haven’t been here before, do yourself a favor and check this place out! You won’t regret it
Loved the flavor here did a great job! Came back a 2nd time and got the Spicy Korean Chicken I ordered an entre and got a rice bowl easy mistake but I have to say I was not a fan at all like the worst Korean Chicken I've ever had. Great job on the bulgogi though.
This great little restaurant has generous portions of tasty food and yummy boba. The friendly staff are the best part though. My family has gone here multiple times but have not explored much of the menu. The items we did get were good and large portions were a plus. We also enjoy the many options of tea.
The lobby looked super clean, only smells in there were good smells, didn't see any flies or anything either. Service was quite fast, workers were friendly and the food is reasonably priced and delicious. Also I've never seen it super busy in there so less wait time than the other places. I got the smoothie and bulgogi burrito. If you are a fan of Korean food I would highly recommend checking this place out. It's a great lunch spot. The burrito is the perfect size, beef was delicious, rice was cooked perfectly and a good ratio for everything. I have been here one other time and got a rice bowl which was also delicious and had good amount of everything.
First time here yesterday. I got the Taro frozen tea with bubbles, it was delicious! I also got the glass noodles with chicken, it was kind of salty and not super flavorful. I would not get that dish again but the taro drink i definitely would!
Absouloutly amazing tea and food! I highly recommend. Fair price and generous portions. I will definitely be back. Service to client was 10/10 atmosphere was chill.
What an amazing experience with the outstanding customer service, very clean atmosphere and unbelievable delicious and fresh food. I have been to hundreds of restaurants in Michigan and across the country and I rank my overall experience at Bento's as one of the best. I encourage all of my Spartan friend, families and colleagues to check them out as you will not regret it. Go Green and Go Bento!
Fun spot for korean fusion and classics!
Pros:
Good price
Nice employees
Cons:
None really
Overall, the chicken sandwich was very tasty. The tofu burrito bowl was good but nothing really stood out about it. I wish there was more tofu.
Love Bento Kitchen Cravings. Been gone a while and today they had free new fruit drink with my order. The Bulgogi Bibimbap was as delicious as I remember and the new Pineapple Fruit tea was scrumptious. I taught in Korea and love love love their food—and Bento’s brings back fond memories of their delicious food.
Oh my YUM!!! Pictured here is the Black Garlic Tofu Ramen and the Thai Tea. Both are so delicious. The ramen had such great flavors and was packaged perfectly for a to go order. And the Thai Tea was excellent. Can’t wait to order again!
