The Bento House is a cozy spot in downtown Oakland that offers delicious and satisfying meals. The bibimbap is a favorite, and the portions are generous. The owner, who also serves as the waitress and chef, is friendly and attentive. The beef and chicken bulgogi are highly recommended, especially when paired with a cold beer. The restaurant is clean with ample seating, including outdoor options. The purple rice in the teriyaki bento box adds a unique touch to the meal. While the food may not be the absolute best bento in the Bay Area, it is a quick and tasty option for lunch. Customers have praised the fresh and delicious sushi, but some have found the food to be mediocre, greasy, or poorly flavored. The service can be hit or miss, with one customer reporting a long wait and forgotten order. Overall, the Bento House offers a budget-friendly and satisfying meal in the area, though the quality and service may vary.
