    Amazing! Chef Rick’s mussels in green curry are the best we’ve ever had. The noodles with chicken is always indescribably delicious. My family has been ordering take out from Bento Box for years (once you’ve had this meal you’ll understand the cravings for it) so to be able to enjoy it in such a cool space and see Chef Rick perform his magic was a real treat. Book yourself a table to enjoy the full experience - or at the very least, order take out.

    Bento Box truly excels in delivering classic dishes with finesse. Each plate was a testament to culinary craftsmanship, and I left feeling not just satisfied, but eager to return. Whether you're a lover of comfort food or simply in search of a well-executed meal, this Bento Box’s prix fixe menu should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

    The food was excellent as expected- the same as old Bento Box restaurant. The location was so nice - spacious yet comfortable. I can’t wait to go back.
