I Love Bento's - Japanese restaurant in Kirkland - 13520 100th Ave NE, USA

If you want chicken teriyaki this is the place to go! I visited for the first time last week and I’m back. I would recommend getting the chicken teriyaki and getting a California on the side it’ll run you about $16 and fill you up. If you don’t care about getting less chicken, do the chicken+gyoza and a California roll on the side. The chicken - super soft and tender! Delicious The rice and salad - super good rice and the salad is a perfect balance of sauce. Gyoza - super tasty aswell! California roll - honestly it’s such a simple roll but the rice they use and ingredients this is hands down one of the best places to get a California roll . Salmon roll - I wouldn’t get this again, I’m a huge sushi guy and I didn’t like the fishy taste, this may have just been today. I’m rating this 5 stars based on the teriyaki and California roll, the place itself is pretty small and I wouldn’t expect much people on dine in but that could be changed by some new paint, new floors and new tables / chairs this place could be popping. The kalbi short ribs look super good but haven’t tried them yet, next time.

After placing my order for takeout I waited for 35 maybe 40 min to get my chicken and beef combo with extra chicken. This meal was expensive not to mention I received a standard portion of chicken. The food was really good but when I asked about and offered to bring it back to show them. They refused to do anything about it. I suggest if ordering to go ask to see the food before leaving.

This was our first time getting food from here. We got take-out today and were so pleasantly surprised! Their prices are an excellent deal considering the quality and amount of food you get. I got Bento Box #4 (in picture). The chicken is good quality and is marinated well. The teriyaki sauce on top was great as well. The gyoza was really tasty too! The owners were very kind and welcoming. My food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering at the counter. It was a little hard for me to see the menu on the wall. They had to-go menus as well as ones to use for dine-in eating. I attached photos of the to-go menu!

I love it there so much! All these tasty rolls :) service is quick and portions are good. Got the rainbow roll and the caterpillar roll and I'm pretty sure I will be getting those again soon.

The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly, they are following COVID guidelines really well, and the prices are super reasonable. I got this delicious bento box for less than $16. I cannot express how amazing this place is.

I do love this place. The food is great and the customer service is excellent as well. I’ve been coming here to get my teriyaki fix for years and it never disappoints. The owner’s know me and my order and are always nice and friendly. I usually get the chicken and spicy chicken teriyaki combo but occasionally I splurge for some gyozas and miso soup, both delicious as well. They also have a punch card which is nice since I come here often. Definitely the best teriyaki and service around.

Prices are fine and the food fast. Biggest disappointment is 2/3 of it was white rice and the only vegetable was wet lettuce. Also too much generic sauce on top. One dish was so wet with unnecessary sauce you needed a spoon to eat the rice underneath. I've had the same meal for less elsewhere. The grill food items are the saving grace. The food is to go as the shop is aging poorly.

The food was mediocre and expensive. The worst dragon roll I have ever ordered. The chicken Katsu had sauce all over instead of on the side and made the meal inedible.
