Best Japanese restaurant that existed in Brownsville. This restaurant was one of my absolute favorites and a hidden jewel that offered great food, service, and cordial atmosphere. The authenticity of the food was beyond measurable and always left the customer satisfied. Those who knew of Sushi Bento’s existence were of the fortunate and privileged to have eaten at this special restaurant. I will forever keep the memories of being greeted and the delicious food that put me through my first years at the University of Texas at the Rio Grande Valley. The fried pork dumplings, Spicy Terry Bento, and the Togarishi Maki were my favorites from their menu. I was deeply saddened to know it is now permanently closed. This restaurant will be missed by many.

The food was fresh and delicious! We order a combo meal. The Teri chicken was perfectly seasoned. The shrimp tempura and dumplings were a nice addition. We also order the Ahi tuna don. Again, it was fresh and tasty. It is not a fast food establishment, it’s made to order and worth a little wait. We’d definitely go back and recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic Japanese food.

We stopped by for lunch. Ordered the Chicken Teriyaki bento, Beef Bento and fried dumplings. Doesn't seem like they have many people working so service was slow. They were nice though. We waited about 10 minutes to get our order taken and then another 40 minutes to get our food. Food presentation is cute. The proteins In our bentos were delicious!!! Everything else was decent. Great place. I will be returning buy phoning on my order ahead of time.

You need to visit this restaurant. Owners are very friendly and know many customers by name. Food is fresh and authentic to Japanese cuisine. Sushi is high grade and pairs very well with the fresh rice done right. Chicken teriyaki is tender and the sauce is spot on in spice and flavor. Great soy taste and not too sweet. A must try!

Good food. Owners are good people. Beef bento is a great plate to start with if you haven't tried this place before. I order at least once a week from here.

This is one of the best places to get sushi in town! Small, calm atmosphere, polite and attentive employees, and food is made to order and worth the wait! Great prices for the food you get. You simply have to check it out!

This place will always have a special place in my heart. The food is authentic, fresh, and delicious. The owners are polite and the restaurant is always clean. I have so many memories with my family at the restaurant and of us ordering takeout. We all love it, even the ones who don’t eat seafood. We are lucky to have this restaurant in Brownsville, it’s a one of a kind locally owned restaurant. Looking forward to my next visit always!! Much love- the Irwins/Garcias

This is my favorite place to grab a bite to eat in the downtown area. Made to order and always delicious, it is hard to decide which item is my favorite. The sushi is divine; the salads that come with the bento boxes come drizzled in a savory dressing; the rice is perfection. Eating here is a wholesome experience. The owners are also very kind and welcoming. If you are thinking about trying out Sushi Bento, think no more and just do it.

This place is AMAZING! I was a picky eater and my boyfriend took me here to try out the sushi. And now my favorite thing to always order is the Gani Maki! ❤️ They are super friendly, clean, make you part of their cute and sweet family with their smile and kindness! #1 in my heart
