I had the beef and rice bowl. #1. It was surprisingly good. I would recommend it. My friend had the pork and rice bento and it was not quite as good. Its pretty quick, takes around 5 minutes to be ready if there is not much of a line.

The food was serviceable. Nothing special but certainly enjoyable for what it is.
I ordered the number 11 for $17 bento special and a medium soda for $3.25. Which comes out to $20.25. The bill came out to $28.33 after tax, tip, and credit card fee. They didn’t ask me for the tip amount so I assume they just tipped themselves 22%+.

There is a credit card surcharge. The food was okay and is good if you want a classic somewhat flavorful traditional japanese meal.

One of the most authentic Japanese spots in LA and a true original at the iconic Grand Central Market.
Yes, there will be a line. The cashier isn’t here to chat or charm—know what you want and move with purpose.
Prices are reasonable for DTLA, but portions lean more snack than meal. I’d recommend grabbing three combos to comfortably feed two people.
Sushi is made fresh to order and the tempura is divine.

For affordable and quick Japanese food with a big bento selection, it's a decent place in the market! Ordered the grilled teriyaki chicken and the pork katsu, filling enough for a meal! Thanks for dinner Bento Ya!

The shittiest Japanese food I have ever tried in my life. Worst was the staff attitude. Never again.

Horrible place, starting for the worst attitude ever from the cashier and the whole staff. The food was miserable and without flavour. Please do yourself a favor and don't eat here.

The service was mediocre at best—whoever was taking orders looked completely exhausted and disinterested, which definitely set the tone. The food itself was just okay. Portions were on the small side, and what I got didn’t look anything like the photos on the menu board. The salad was oddly warm and had a stale taste, which was disappointing. Nothing was particularly flavorful or memorable—just very average overall. Not terrible, but certainly didn’t live up to any expectations. There are better options in the market.

Don't be fooled by the pictures or by your love for teriyaki. The chicken teriyaki came with no teriyaki. It was bad quality and not fresh. Avoid.

You get what you pay for. Prices are to good to be true, at the time of this review the #7 Ramen was $12 so you get a $12 Ramen if that makes sense, not bad but it's not a good Ramen place. If you are hungry It will fill you up, we tried a bento box that looked nothing like their pictures, rice was plain and chicken was ok, we also got a California Sushi roll some way lacking on flavor and little bit warm. Slightly disappointed but not to the point to hating on it.Good place for a quick bite just don't for lunch/dinner.
Ordered the #9 Spicy Seafood Ramen and ended up with a throat pain. Food was oily and unhygienic. Try and avoid at all cost. Probably the worst Japanese restaurant I've ever eaten in my life.

The prices on their website are wrong. I was grossly overcharged because of these price differences (I was charged $50+ for a meal that should have been $20 at most). The food is decent but it is not worth the price.

Not too bad for a simple Japanese bento box place. It is located on Grand Central Market, so expect a line on the weekend. The service was quick (10 mins) but the bigger challenge is to find a seat in this crowded place.
I ordered the deluxe bento ($15.99) which comes with grilled beef, salmon, tempura shrimp and veggies, and tofu salad. Good portion and the taste is the average bento box taste. Overall good choice if you are hungry!

Portion is small. Food is too salty. Not the worst but please eat somewhere else.

It is just soso but not awful. Plain rice,little salad and good chicken. Unless you want to amazing food. It is not so bad.
