BentOn

My go-to lunch near the office! Well balanced meals and very filling. They rotate bento offerings every day so there’s something new everytime you go. If you’re not as hungry, they have a good selection of onigiri (rice balls) as well. There’s also a ramen station I haven’t tried yet but smells delicious. Customer service is excellent and welcoming. I highly recommend Benton, there’s something there for everyone!

Delicious homey comfort food, perfect for a quick yet healthy lunch. It tastes like an authentic bento you would get in Japan. I like the variety in each bento while also being well balanced and filling, and pretty good value as well.

great lunch spot if you want to grab sth quick to eat in the office!! they change up the menu everyday and theres quite a decent amount of food.

Hair in my meal kit. I have ordered this bento service several times in the past through their meal kits, and the experience has consistently been poor. Every time, the ice packs arrived completely melted, and the rice was unpleasant and low quality. Despite these repeated issues, I ordered their osechi again this year because I was recovering from illness and needed a convenient option. This was a mistake. The osechi was extremely disappointing. There was no datemaki at all, and the rice was once again tasteless. Most of the essential and traditional osechi items were missing, making it feel incomplete and careless. The price was also unreasonably high. I chose this service only because it was about $50 cheaper than ordering osechi shipped directly from Japan, but the quality was far below acceptable and not worth the cost. Ozoni is a celebratory New Year’s dish, and traditionally it uses round mochi to symbolize harmony, good fortune, and the absence of sharp edges. Instead, this service provided square mochi, showing a lack of understanding or respect for basic Japanese New Year traditions. Even worse, although this was advertised as a two-person serving, there was only one piece of mochi per person, which was clearly insufficient. Kamaboko is traditionally red and white, yet only red kamaboko was included. These details matter, and their absence reflects a broader disregard for authenticity and quality. Overall, this service was disappointing on every level. I will not be ordering again next year, and I do not recommend this osechi to anyone who values proper Japanese cuisine or New Year traditions.

I love bento, especially if it is authentic Japanese bento. This spot call their offering “Japanese Healthy Fast Food” and offer bento box, sushi, donburi, and some pastries and other little snacks. I finally got to visit the store in Midtown on one weekend for lunch. The staff (lovely Japanese female) told me that shortly before we arrived, a large group of people came and bought out most of their bento boxes!!! So, there was not much selections left… And, it seems like their donburi items are offered during weekdays, not on weekends. Double punch there… We looked through their limited options, and picked up a few things that still looked really great. Since there is no seating in this location, we decided to take them home. The first item was their Pork Cutlet Curry, which comes with a small drink of your choice. We also bought a couple of rice balls and a Chocolate Mochi Doughnut. They were all rather simple yet comforting and pretty good flavor. I was super happy I finally got to visit BentOn. I would definitely go back again when I want something quick, comforting, tasty, and Japanese. They are super affordable, and if you get there before they ran out of their offerings, it is pretty enticing and exciting. I wish if this store was close to my office, then I could go there more often… Read my full review of this spot and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

Let's get a Bento at Benton! This is a cute little place to get your lunch. Concentrating on home made style Japanese dishes, this take out joint puts it all together in a neat colorful package. If you think that's all they have then you are mistaken. They also have bread, ramen, curry, rice bowls, onigiri, soba, just to name a few. And on top of that, they have a menu that changes everyday. Pricing is average for a take out place like this.

This place is amazing. They publish different menu everyday and when you go there you can choose between 3-4 options on daily basis. The food is perfection. Just be careful on time though. They are usually out of food by 2, so try going around noon.

Food was decent and a little cheaper than other places. However, you need to get there at noon to get the best selection because they sell out quick. Got there at 12:30 and there was limited dishes left. Would try again.
