I pick up food for my mom a couple of times per month. I use their online ordering system ... It makes the process efficient and painless. The points card works too; spend $100 and get a $10 bento free. I love their unagi and garlic chicken bentos with the multi grain rice option ... delicious! Their salads are also great!

Great food at affordable prices when you are on the go. We took our bentos to the airport to avoid the bloated prices there and enjoyed them!

A solid bento spot. A good selection freshly made. They even give you a bottled water to go. Will stop again if in the area.

If you're looking for delicious and quick meals this is the place to grab one of many bentos and bowls and more. Such a variety of assortments and it comes with a bottle water. Walk right in head towards the right and you'll end up making a figure eight route to the cashier. Only takes a few minutes depending how quick your decision making is on what to consume. I like the Salmon Dynamite bentos and eggplant with tofu. The only downside is they don't stay open very late. I suppose the staff comes in very early to prepare all the meals so that's a behind the scenes thing most don't see.That is just my assumption. They probably also do catering so that maybe another reason. Again not sure. In any case this is a great place to try and eat. Need quick meals for an event or party. Very convenient and of good value. Just gather up some cold drinks and or hot tea and you're all set. Aloha!

TLDR; 10 / 10 will go againreview: food is good, but they make it for that day. by 1 PM certain stuff is out.Tried most items, they are good. Their hand rolls, yeah. Bento plates are good. Getting hungry again. Broke da mouth can I get another chee hoo
Simple place with tasty bento boxes ready to pick and take away. Many options to choose from. Really a simple take out place with ready to eat meals, not to sit and order on demand or eat inside. Hot plates are kept hot, cold are kept cold, and those that are best at room temp are kept there as well. A bento meal also includes a bottle of water. Tried the spicy ahi inari (5/5, wonderfully balanced flavor, good amount of poke), salmon musubi (4/5, tasted great and fresh but would have liked more salmon), and the miso butterfish bento (4/5, flavor was there!! Fish cooked perfectly however lots of long sharp bones in the cut of fish I picked; comes with generous rice, karaage piece, small tamago, and pickled veggies).

This place is slipping... The workers are not friendly nor helpful. The place looks like COVID is still running it and they are on the verge of shutting down and the crew surely acts the past. Sad this place was a great go to.

It's not in full service like before covid, but they still serve already prepacked katsudon, oyakudon, curry bowls, poke bowls, bentos and assorted sushi. They don't have the poke plates or eat in yet. It's still a great place to take out for lunch because prices are reasonable.Service is ok and professional, and they offer a bottled water with your bento. No miso soup like before yet.Lots of parking since it is at Pearl Kai, across kam highway, makai of lower pearlridge.

In all honesty, I thought this place was going to be good. It was just okay. They sell premade bentos in advance. I think way too advance because the food didn't taste fresh. I had the karaage with a spam musubi. The spam musubi was pretty good, but the chicken karaage wasn't. It wasn't crunchy but rather soggy. They also sell canned drinks. They only had Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, bottle waters and tea. Not bad choices. They also sold other items like jello and random food. I was a little disappointed and probably won't come back here. There was plenty of parking directly up front so that was a plus.They take card or cash. Line goes quickly..
The food is fresh and still warm when we arrived at 1pm. Many bentos selection. Price is decent. We had the chicken Katsu don, it's awesome. 4 stars because the green tea pudding was just average and abit overpriced.

I stopped by here for a quick bento for lunch and it was an extremely quick in and out trip! Walk in and you choose what you want on the right then go to the cashier and they ring up your order. The cashier was so fast - she started ringing up bentos before I even got to the counter because she could see which bento I had. The bentos were super fresh and hot. They were constantly restocking the shelves and bringing out more bentos. I had the mochiko chicken bento and the chicken had a good flavor. I enjoyed the nishime on the side. They give a lot of rice with a lot of furikake on it, which I enjoyed. The bentos are reasonably priced and they give a good amount of good. They also give you a bottle of water with each bento! Definitely worth it for a take out meal!

I've ordered food three times in the past month to take to my mom, who is residing in a foster care home in lower Aiea. The Local Combo Bento with multi-grain rice beats the Z**P** in flavor and price, $3.21 less and essentially the same contents. The bentos are great and they give a bottle of water with each bento. The oyako donburi is good too, for just $8.79.I wish they would offer cone sushi, the triangular one. They have inari sushi, but that's not the same.Online ordering makes it painless as well.

Good bento place right in front of Kam Hwy on the East bound side of traffic. This place is a gem in the rough of the many bento spots that are available on the island. I think what stands out the most here is that the many bento here are served with the healthy consumer in mind. Many of their bento has salmon mixed in with a generous serving of multigrain rice. They even have namasu with the bento. There is a slight downside to this place. The bento that they serve are slightly pricey. The small mini dishes that had tofu and some shoyu type of sauce inside was nearly $7. For that price I could buy my own ingredients and make it myself.Besides that though, I would definitely come back for more

Great bento spot for quality and price.Now living in the Mainland, the nori bento butterfish with mixed grain rice is something I always get but their other options are solid as well.Mochiko chicken is good. Salmon options are good. But butterfish is always my go toSuper easy to order online or just show up and pick something off the selfEach bento comes with a free bottle of water and they still do the stamp cards so 10 bentos and you get one free. It's hard to get a meal under $10 these days but here is one spot you can
