Bento Sushi & Noodles
“Love their sushi rolls and reasonably priced for the financial district, but I would not recommend their bento boxes because it is microwaved.”
“I know it's not a big place and mostly is filled with tourists, but hey I will come here for tasty noodles on a cold day.”

Great place for lunch. I come here when I want something warm & soupy for lunch.
UDON
The soup is always hot & the noodles are always chewy. It kind of tastes like the instant udon that you can find in the supermarket, but I don't mind because there is no supermarket in my office.
I usually get the beef which is pretty good. Sometimes it's a bit oily though.
I've also gotten the chicken one, but I prefer the beef.
This is the perfect lunch for a cold rainy day. It'll warm you right up!
*Don't forget to get a loyalty card! After a certain amount of visits you get a free udon!
This fast food sushi has greatly changed over the years. I remember quality of sushi and numerous options of Udon noodles and since renovation it focused on presentation and overall interior look of the business. Quality, however, remain unchanged as well as the overall staff attitude. Overpriced as well.
Some of the worst sushi I've had to date at a place that's apparently supposed to specialize in Japanese cuisine…even if it is take-out. I got the salmon samurai combo and it was basically inedible. Chewy salmon, over-ripe avocados in the roll, and pasty and low quality wasabi. One of the most disappointing lunch experiences I've had since I begun working in FiDi. The service was equally as intolerable–I had to ASK the cashier to bag my food, and he rushed my checkout experience. Impersonal experience accompanied by horrid food is the perfect recipe for a one star Yelp review.
(FYI, your logo should not be representative of a piece of sushi if you can't import at least some grocery quality fish.)
I walked around and wanted to try something different and choose not to use the Yelp app, a bad mistake. I had the salmon teriyaki bento box. It came with salad, california roll and gyoza (the lady was nice enough to replace the gyoza with more california roll). The salmon was terrible, definitely not fresh, and overcooked. The california roll was okay, not bad. They have a lot of pre-made sushi for you to buy, I should of tried that instead because it looked a lot fresher. The prices are okay.

I have been wanting to try this place. I had the Cali Shogun $11. It had 6 pieces of California roll, 2 pieces of ahi, Ebi, sake. The Rice was hard and packed to tight. The fish was decent. The California roll had Krab, cucumber, and avocado. All and all it was mediocre.
Waste.Of.Money.
I have always passed this place and thought to myself…hmm….sushi on the go? Can't be "great" sushi but it must be decent, right? Wrong. This little spot on Broadway right in the hustle & bustle is always busy. It looks very modern from the outside and the photos flashing before your eyes of gorgeous sushi surely can make anyones mouth water. I got in line during lunch and at the end of the line there is a half empty box with a tiny small salad and 4 pieces of a California roll. I opted for the chicken curry and when I proceeded to tell the person behind the counter that the amount of curry he was adding to my chicken was "just enough" he proceeded to add more and did not hear a word I was saying (and I tend to speak up…as in I am a loudmouth).
The employees were talking amongst themselves like crazy. What the heck do these people have to talk about? It's lunch hour and it's busy. This isn't TMZ headquarters!
The California roll was meh. To be honest I expected that. The chicken curry however was a huge let down. I looked at the chicken and honestly did not want to eat it. It did not look appealing at the very least so I ended up just eating the rice that came underneath the chicken with the curry sauce. Ugh. Total let down. This place is so close to me. I would be a frequent sushi customer if they got their act together.
I got a lobster roll and nigiri combo. The taste was OK, but there was nothing remarkable about the lobster. And the lobster roll could have used more seasoning; good sushi should not require any use of additional soy sauce. The tuna nigiri looked a little unfresh but tasted alright.

It's definitely a carry-out place. The food is mostly already prepared here. The bento boxes have everything but the main protein which you can select and they'll cook it for you. It makes it a pretty quick grab and go when you're busy. I tried the seafood udon which had a stick of imitation crab meat cut in 2 and 3 shrimps for $8. It was good for being a quick grab and go, but not amazing like an actual sit down restaurant.
