BentOn

"The absolute best way to get a homemade, balanced lunch in the city - every bento box is carefully packed with high quality, delicious food with excellent attention to detail. Love the fact that the daily bento changes each week because I can try a lot of things and never get tired of it. I have been going here for years and have never been disappointed."

"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."

"BentOn has become one of our go-to lunch spots. The variety in the menu each week is great. We usually try one new bento and stick to one of our favorites (We love the karaage and teriyaki salmon!). The free delivery is an amazing plus"

"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."

"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."
