The prices listed here are bald-faced lies. The cheapest Bento box option was $16, most were about $20. Which unfortunately isn't very unreasonable these days even for a mediocre-quality lunch (which this very much is), but it is *significantly* higher from the prices they've displayed here. Don't fall for their bait and switch tactics.

The seared salmon inari is seriously the best I’ve ever had! So flavorful and perfectly seared. The chirashi is super fresh and delicious too. Everything tastes really high quality!

$18 for the worst teriyaki I have ever had. Tasted like boiled dark meat Chicken. Like rubber. No crisp, no flavor.

Unfortunately worse than grocery store sushi. Rice was cold and not sticky. Fish was rubbery. It’s not even really a place to sit and eat. Imagine a cramped hallway with a standing counter. The people are nice though.

I tried the teriyaki chicken and beef teriyaki combo, and honestly, it was disappointing. The chicken was dry and had an awful, almost burnt taste that the overly sweet sauce couldn’t cover up. The beef wasn’t much better it was tough and chewy, with very little flavor. Neither tasted fresh, and the textures were off. For what they charge, I expected a lot better. The portions were small, especially considering the price, and it didn’t feel like good value at all. I left still hungry and wishing I’d gone somewhere else. Overall, it’s overpriced for what you get and just plain bad.
If you want Seattle style teriyaki avoid this place its awful. it's the last time I go here.

I loved Joybento! The food was delicious and affordable. I got 2 sushi rolls and they were delicious. There is no indoor seating, but I had no problem finding nearby outdoor, public seating. I would definitely return.
This used to be my go-to lunch spot. Unfortunately after a few ownership changes, I feel like the meals I get here for the price just are not that good. I ordered the karaage bento, and while the fried chicken was good, the amount of rice (a thin layer half the box) and chicken was not great. In addition the potato salad used to be creamy and delicious but this was just bland and tasteless. Overall I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here anymore.

I had the Washington roll. It was amazing and cheaper than grocery store sushi. They don't have seating but the good food and service makes up for it.

I am still trying out all of the restaurants around my job and this place caught my eye. I love the small kitchen aesthetic, it reminds me of living in Asia. I ordered a nigiri roll and beef teriyaki. The roll was fine but the beef was a bit dry and not my favorite meal. I would revisit and try something else but it was just ok.
