You know those times when you go out and say to yourself that you're not going to really go looking for a new box to munch on, but then you see one that catches your eye and knew you would be going down on it anyway? Well, this was a tasty new box that I bumped into and had to take a few bites – I could not resist.
Hey, I'm always looking for a good Bento Box lunch deal and this one seemed pretty decent for only $8.50. As it was a bit past lunch hour I had the place to myself. It is a tiny restaurant but clean with a bright and cozy decor – a few tables, small sushi bar counter, brick walls, and even mock trees on them. Kind of a fun setting.
My Bento Box meal was pretty darn good. Was it the best box I ever munched down on? No, but they all can't be amazing. Still, this made for a nice cheap lunch deal. Miso soup tasted good. My box came with decent shumai, ok California rolls, nicely cooked white rice, crisp salad, and a nice hunk of teriyaki salmon cooked just right with a few fresh veggies. Just the right amount of teriyaki sauce on it, and not swimming in it as some places do. I'm not a fan of going down on a gloopy box!
Service was pleasant, and the whole meal with a soda came out to a little less than $11. Definitely a fair price and would go back again.
Man, I see a lot of haters here who have reviewed this place so far. Most of them seem to be about the Seemless Web delivery problems. I did hear the machine announcing a bunch of orders when I was there, so I am glad I actually went there to eat. My guess is that you don't order your box to be delivered but better to munch down on it there!
Don't know how this place got 5 stars on seamless web… The $14.95 dinner bento box was nothing special. Came with 5 pieces of nigiri, a california roll, a weak iceburg lettuce salad, miso soup, and rice. Acceptable, but certainly nowhere near spectacular. Also ordered the tempura red bean ice cream- sounded great, tasted meh. Will order something different the next time I stay late at work! I will say- the delivery was quick though- I work over 20 blocks north and several avenues over from the restaurant, but everything was delivered in less than 30 minutes of my order.

very bland rolls…no spice whatsoever in the spicy tuna roll, and no jalapeño spice in the green river roll…yellowtail scallion roll had no scallions!
i've had better sushi from the deli at the grocery store.
also, delivery was SLOW…i was quoted 25-40 mins, and it took 1:15.
