The food portions were inconsistent—my relative and I both ordered the same dish (#1), but her Chicken portion was about half the size of mine. The taste was bland, and the service left much to be desired. A note to the owner: this isn’t just about portion size; it’s about ensuring customers receive fair value for what they pay. Please, no more excuses.

TDLR: Average food, would recommend the Chicken Bento Box. Was shopping with a friend and decided to try something new. Saw the line and it was about 10 people or so in line, and the busiest on the floor, so naturally, thought, let's check the hype out. We ordered the Shrimp and Chicken Bento Boxes. Given the lady ahead of me ordered a Chicken Bento Box and Chicken Teriyaki, I should have known that the Chicken was the star show here. The Bento Box comes with California Roll (4 pcs), Dumplings (3 pcs) & Vegetables. As well as a choice of steamed rice, fried rice or noodles. The shrimp was a 2 out of 5, it tasted bland and was dry with the rice, would not recommend. The chicken was however much better, had a nice sauce with it and didn't taste rubbery like the shrimp. Would probably give the chicken a 3.5 out of 5, maybe even push it to a 4 as it was a nice novel try. The California Roll was bland, as were the dumplings, but the dumplings were cool and a nice bonus. Would I eat here again? Probably not. But if you want a fresh spot to try, go for the Chicken Bento Box!

About 80% of the time, the veggies are sour and not edible. Note to self: always order without veggies. We usually order with extra protein for a few more dollars. Today, box with beef and chicken had about half the amount of protein as box #2 with double chicken. Inconsistent and disappointing.
