BENTO Orlando UCF - Asian restaurant in Orlando - 12250 Strategy Blvd #443, USA

Went here because it was close by my hotel and suggested by my hotel. I asked for authenticity. This isn't that, so if you want that, this isn't the place for you. It's a good spot for the college kids, atmosphere wise. Price wise, it was alright. I was not expecting such a small sushi roll, though. That's a bit odd, I travel a lot and have sushi every place I go. This is one spot I won't visit again, I'll need to swing by the McDonald's next door to ensure I'm full for the night. Oh, and don't expect cream cheese in a roll if it says it's included. It is the thinnest spread that you can't even see without opening the roll up. I had to do that to see if it was in there. Disappointing.

Restaurant spacieux, nombreux plats au choix, personnel souriant. J'apprécie la sélection à cet endroit

BENTO has always been my go to sushi place. We love the Volcano Roll and the Crunch Roll, and the poke bowls are also always good. I’d recommend everyone try the volcano roll! My friends have gotten the Boba Teas and really enjoyed it.

Great menu with plenty of options from bowls, bento boxes to great sushi. The sushi was great, fresh, and well made. The price is right here and is perfect for everyone. Even though it can be crowded, the line moves and the food comes out fairly quick. Highly recommend this place especially for sushi.

My wife is a big fan of Bento so this was our 3rd location we visited together. All locations as this one were clean, similarly designed, moderately low volume levels, however very sterile feeling and I’m not a fan of the self-serving restaurant model, as I am the cook at home, going out and paying to do for my family what I do at home, granted I’m not cooking, but I go out to take a break from my cooking responsibilities at home. The food has always been on point.

The food is definitely overpriced for the quality you’re getting. It almost never comes out hot, always room temperature. I ordered chicken katsu and for some reason there were small leftover pieces that they put on the rice. It did not look like it was from the same piece of katsu. The appetizers are pretty decent, but $7 for 4 small pieces of Krab Wontons is a bit too expensive considering most Chinese takeout places charge the same for 8 large pieces. The service was nonexistent but it is a fast casual restaurant so that’s expected.

I write reviews to: 1. Inspire improvement. 2. Save consumers time and money by avoiding poor/subpar experiences. 9/10 times, it takes an extremely long time to recieve your food. Considering it’s an order at the register type place, that is unacceptable. After waiting nearly longer to get your food than you would at a waited restaurant, you end up leaving hungry. They are extremely stingy with the portions, especially meats. I legitimately have counted how many pinky-size chicken pieces were in my bowl a few times, and it’s been under 10. To make things worse, they charge extra for what feels like everything. I don’t eat mushrooms. I asked if I can switch out the mushrooms for more onions. They wanted to charge me for that. That blew my mind. I don’t get it. Poor business. I never leave full without spending just about $30. To give reference to size, attached is a picture of a poke bowl. 4ish pieces of chicken. Here’s for management: Be more accommodating if it improves a guests experience. All I wanted was more onions rather than mushrooms. Takes the staff 0% more effort, and cost $0 more on your end. The accommodation will never cost you nearly as much as it would to lose the customer. Simple business. LTV is everything. If diving deeper into my experiences can help improve the experience for others, feel free to reach out.

Quite a unique restaurant that has good food but is quite expensive for the value and portion sizes. The egg rolls were decent but didn’t have too much extra flavor although the sauce was tasty. The poke bowl was the star of the show with decent quality ingredients and a unique noodle base instead of the traditional rice which was much appreciated. Since ordering with a server, the scoops of protein was not much and even at the largest sizes was still quite lacking in portions for the price of the bowl.
