Bento Teppanyaki Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Austin

this has easily become my FAVORITE place to get asian food. the food is consistently delicious and the staff is SO NICE. my fiancé and I have started coming here at least once a week (if not twice) because we love it so much. they also have the fastest take out in the world, the food is usually ready within 10 minutes of ordering.

to brag on the staff a bit, my fiancé and I decided to come in last minute the other week. what we didn’t know was that it happen to be lunar new year and as a result the restaurant was (understandably) closing earlier than normal. when we arrived it was 5 minutes to closing, so we sat outside the restaurant deciding what we should do instead. the staff saw us outside scratching our heads sadly, and they ushered us inside to get us to at least place a to go order. we are not ones to enter a restaurant right before close and make everyone stay late, so when I say the staff was VERY convincing and genuine about wanting us to be able to still get their very yummy food. they did not have to do that for us, and are such a pleasure to be around. I cannot think of a better place to support...

For the price point (a lunch special is 12.99 and include soup, fried rice and an entree), this is a pretty good spot. The waitress was highly attentive though we were among only a patrons. The venue is absolutely nothing special. It's basically every single place you've been too where the location has been 5 different restaurants in the last decade. Weirdly, despite the name the entrees are chinese with the exception of the sushi which no one in my party ordered. The fried rice was utterly not good. It was flavorless, bland, and rather dry. However, the Kung Pao Chicken I selected as an entree was excellent. It was spicy, savory, salty and delicious. My wonton soup was good and my husband's hot and sour looked particularly amazing. If it manages to hang in there I would...

OMG, the food here just made love to me 💓😋❣️. This was my first visit; I ordered the Shrimp Broccoli 🥦 to go. I was told 10 minutes, but gave it an extra 5 minutes. My food was hot and ready. It was another 15 minutes until I got to try it, and boy-oh-boy I was so happy feeling the warmth and delicious flavor from this food going down. I can't think of the last time I ever ate so fast.

I'll be back. In fact, if they had not closed before I left work, I was going back that same evening; I've already told 4 other people at work.

Thanks, Bento for this delicious meal 😋. Please keep the food...
