Ichi Bento — Restaurant in Shoreline

Feb.2025 Moved down to Everett. Come down here for lunch every time I bring my car in for servicing at Europa car Care.

Quality food and fast couldn't believe how quick it came out . Even at 4:00 in the afternoon customer stream was steady. Phone was always ringing people were coming in for takeout. cook never had a chance to take a break.

I love the misu soup on a cold day

October 2023 Living by Canada, but come down to here to see our mechanic . Always come in for lunch when he's working on the car. Always a treat with beef bento. Place busy.

Lots of orders for yakisoba. But I find beef tender and tempura perfect.

With soup , California roll and salad, you can order tempura, gyozo or both, I got 4gyoza and two wonderful shrimp tempura. Yum

Prices kept low because served in take out, which I would get anyway due to large portion

For the teriyaki, I recommend chicken teriyaki because I didn't actually care that much for the beef, but that could just be me. I've also had their Mongolian beef and that was really good as well. In general sushi and miso soup and gyoza and tempura are all solid choices.

Service and ambience: their service is always fast and friendly. They do have some tables to sit so you can eat in, but I noticed that most people order to go. Even if you order to eat in, you will get your order in to go boxes so you can pack it up to take home your leftovers. Everything is plastic and Styrofoam, which is not great for the environment, but that's probably how they...
