The food is soso but as a Japanese restaurant, I think it’s better to use Japanese soy sauce instead of Chinese one. A bit disappointed.
We tried Bento Ya at Grand Central Market and really enjoyed it! The food was freshly prepared, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The portions were good, especially for a quick and satisfying meal while exploring Downtown LA.
The market itself has so many food options, but Bento Ya was definitely a great choice for us. Perfect for a quick Japanese meal without spending too much. Would definitely come back if we’re in the area again! 🍱✨

Got #21. I told them I was allergic to eggs and it still had eggs. I guess they didn’t understand.
Tasted quite good tho. I’d say good value. These LA reviewers don’t seem to understand that cheaper food is a lower quality experience. It’s like almost half as much as you can spend at chipotle.
Wish I wasn’t allergic so I could’ve finished it

Bento Ya is a Japanese-style eatery offering a variety of dishes, including Ramen, Bento Boxes, curry, rolls, and salad. Located in Grand Central Market, it can get crowded, especially on weekends, making it a challenge to find a seat. The menu caters to different tastes, with a special section for vegans and vegetarians. One of the most authentic Japanese spots in LA, the food is surprisingly good and serviceable. Sushi is made fresh to order and the tempura is divine. The beef and rice bowl is a highlight. Prices are reasonable for DTLA, but portions lean more snack than meal. It is a pretty quick choice for a simple and easy Japanese meal downtown.
