Absolutely delicious Jennifer was our waitress, she was great! Thank you!
We had an amazing meal at Bento Box. Our Server Michele was friendly, attentive, but best of all she gave us first timers fantastic advise to enjoy the best of what Bento Box has to offer. The fish was extremely fresh. The sauces were unique and very complimentary to the fish. The sushi was presented on a Surf Board which was fun and made it easy to share. Michele paced the meal so well that we had room for dessert - Which I highly recommend you try. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the special rolls and fresh sashimi. If you enjoy Sushi you must try Bento Box.

Beautiful spot with a huge sushi bar, and alcohol! Between two people we devoured 4 specialty rolls. I could eat this everyday! Friendly staff and not too high prices. Highly recommend!

Food was fantastic, a good selection of sake for people to find the type of sake they like. Food was fast and perfectly as ordered despite how busy it was.
$10-20 for dinner. $10-20 more if you add drinks from the bar. I will definitely be back when visiting the area again. B.Eel T roll is my favorite.
Dietary restrictions: Menus labeled for veggie, and gluten free.

Been twice this summer with parties of 6 and 8. Everyone has been very happy at the least with food, sushi & otherwise, and service. Kitchen came out to be sure they understood a food allergy before they prepared. Servers know the menu and the drinks. Vegetarian friendly as well.
Dietary restrictions: One in party allergic to shrimp & scallops but ordered crab (not allergic to crab). Kitchen came out to clarify and be sure. Much appreciated.

I LOVE Bento Box. It is my go to restaurant to eat and to take people when they come to town. Great atmosphere for dates and other events. Service is always great and the food is amazing. I love their tunazilla roll and their pad thai.

This place is the definition of detrimental... I mean It really is. I have never been this disgruntled in my entire life. I've been eating sushi around the world from the West Coast to across the world in Japan. When i ate at this restaurant there was something very different. Everything here had made me want to hurl. NO exaggeration. I am in a Group Page on Facebook with 20k people and they have spread the word about this dirty unsanitary, rude, "business". No one smiled at me once. Maybe they will get it together soon, seems like that would take a whole face-lift though they'd need a whole complete new staff. Don't Waste your TIME.

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant for the first time, and it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. We arrived around 5:30 pm with our baby and requested a table with space for a stroller. Instead, we were seated outside at a table with no shade. It took the waitress 15-20 minutes to bring us water and menus.
After placing our order, we waited 30 minutes for an appetizer that was recommended as sashimi style. We noticed other tables in the shade became available, so we asked the waitress if we could move. She was disorganized and, in the process of moving our items, dropped the water cup onto our appetizer. When she finally brought the replacement, it was clearly the same exact plate as it was soaked in water still. I mentioned it to the waitress and she mentioned in a bad demeanor how we would have to wait another 15-20 mins for them to remake another plate.
Our “new plate” appetizer took another 20 minutes, and by then our sushi had arrived. After we finished, the waitress apologized and said dessert would be on the house. We had been there since 5:30 pm, and by now it was past 8 pm. Our baby was fussy, and the dessert—a tiny portion of caramel and a single fried wonton—was hardly worth the wait. We waited even longer for the check, and by the time we finally left, it was nearly 9 pm.
If you enjoy spending hours waiting for mediocre food and dealing with chaotic service, this place might be for you. Otherwise, save yourself the time and try a restaurant with better service and more efficient operations. What an experience I will never forget.

Was planning on tipping on my to- go order until I get there and see they charged me 4 dollars for extra sauce? I asked for one spicy mayo per order. So stingy especially when you need the sauce for it to taste good!!
This establishment is highly over rated. My husband and I went on a Wednesday evening and it was steady, we waited for 15 minutes to be sat at a dirty table with dried up food incrusted on the wall with of view of their blinds that were covered in left over food. The menu was hard to read as the stainless steel booklet menu pages were in worn out sheet protectors. We ordered an appetizer of calamari which was just crumbs of breading over cooked in old oil. The dishes that we had were underwhelming of flavor, curry was watery and bland. The manager on duty was clueless and at the table visit he just asked if we received our salt and pepper, which was clearly on the table. Server was nice and reassured him that did a great job.
