We needed 130 bento for my aunt's memorial service. The owners patiently helped us decide which bentos to buy. We decided on 40 Nori Shrimp Kara, 40 Nori Salmon Deluxe, 35 Teriyaki Beef, and 15 Healthy Vegetable. They were all so delicious. Next time you have a big order, call them!
October 2025, update. I wish they would allow sitting or waiting space inside the restaurant. It's hot and stink outside with many flys bothering everyone who is waiting.
Kokoro-tei used to be my favorite bento place for the Nori Kara, the Nori Kara Deluxe and Nori Salmon Deluxe costing really cheap and containing lots of food for the price.

Kokoro-tei is a popular bento shop known for its delicious and fresh made-to-order meals. The restaurant offers a great assortment of bento options, including a tasty steak bento with wafu sauce. Customers praise the friendly staff and quick service, often able to pick up large orders in a timely manner. The vegetarian options are also well-received, making Kokoro-tei a great choice for events or takeout.
Kokoro-tei used to be a favorite bento place for many customers, offering affordable and generous bento options like the Nori Kara, Nori Kara Deluxe, and Nori Salmon Deluxe. However, the restaurant has recently become exclusively a takeout place, with customers only able to step inside briefly to order and wait outside for their food.
The wait time for orders can be quite long, around 20-30 minutes, as the restaurant receives a high volume of orders daily. While the food is still praised as delicious, the lack of indoor seating and the long wait times can be inconvenient for some customers. Parking can also be a challenge, but there are options available on the street and in the nearby lot.
Despite these changes, Kokoro-tei remains a popular choice, with customers highlighting the restaurant's monthly food specials as a highlight and a reliable option for those working in the area.
