Bento Box is located in a prime spot with plenty of parking, making it super convenient for a quick stop or a longer stay to enjoy your meal. I ordered the fried chicken bento with rice and Kyabetsu Salad, and overall, I was pleased with the flavors. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the portion size was just right.
Having lived in Japan for several years, I noticed a couple of small details that could bring the authenticity of the bento even closer to the real deal. First, the rice should never be drizzled with the meat sauce—in this case, the chicken sauce. It's best to keep the rice plain, letting the individual components shine on their own.

Read moreIf you guys are in the area, you have to try this place. The food was fantastic! I had the silky Thai noodles with char chicken, tried my husband’s panko salmon and my sister’s BBQ short ribs (drool worthy). They also have a special jasmine tea with cinnamon that is both refreshing and tasty. This food was so tasty and the service was incredibly phenomenal that I’ll be back before I leave. 🥰 2025 update: Came back to PR and of course we had to hit up Bento Box (actually twice 🤤). They have never disappointed us. Food was delicious and the service is great. Everything there tastes great but the BBQ shirt ribs are melt in your mouth and a taste I’ve yet to find elsewhere. You've got to...
