Customer Reviews
The carry out food was good. Inside the staff was very unorganized. I called ahead and still waited for 30 minutes. They were getting orders confused. To many people doing to many things. I know lots of places are understaffed but this was odd. With dine in customers, carry out and Door Dash you need to be realistic about what you can provide in a timely manner. I'll give them another chance.
Excellent sushi!!! Super fresh, super delicious! If you like sushi you have to try Bento Cafe!
Saw this place a few months ago when I moved nearby and decided today to give it a try. I am so happy I did! Spicy Salmon rolls were delicious and actually spicy, Godzilla rolls were perfectly constructed and very tasty. Ramen was full of greens, hefty serving of noodles, and the spicy option is spicy! The inside is very clean and well maintained, clearly well cared for. I look forward to eating here again and hopefully sometime soon! A new favorite for myself!
I had the spicy bulgogi ramen and it was AMAZING. Super spicy, very flavorful, bulgogi was amazing. I highly recommend!
This is the BEST sushi place I have been to. My wife and I have been coming regularly for the past year and have never had a bad experience. The staff are incredibly friendly, everyone greets you when you walk in and walk out. It’s a real special place. The food is amazing too!!! Out of all the sushi places we have visited, this is number one and has become our go to place. Do yourself a favor and order the miso soup! It’s the best!!
