I was excited to see the hamachi collar offered as a special bento and ordered that. First, I loved the fatty fish collar which was pretty tasty (plain shio yaki style). The sides were on the sweet side (as verified by my blood glucose reading after) and overall the quantity was on the smallish side. Compared to the price/quantity of a Tea Era or Bento Express box lunch (which are both within 3-5 min driving neighborhood) it was pricey, but the side dishes are of higher quality and I was rooting for the husband-wife business partners.

This place has a great interior. Small, not meant to be a sit down place. Geared toward take-out.

Easy to find location. Good food for reasonable price. I went in on a Saturday for lunch and didn’t have to wait for too long. I didn’t find a bathroom there though.

I was looking for authentic Taiwanese bento but was very disappointed with the pork rice I ordered. It says 爌肉， but it is not 爌肉 at all, more like 肉絲。 Nothing is even close to the Taiwanese standard. With the price $17 it is asking, it doesn’t worth a second visit for me.

Should of kept it moving. Not your traditional Japanese cuisine. No veggie tempura or miso soup. Pour tasting chicken teriyaki. To top it all off the food wasn’t even hot. If you are looking for authentic Japanese, don’t go there.
