I won't hesitate to go to the Benten Bowl food truck when it's next parked out front of my office; but I can't say that if a host of LA's food trucks were lined up Benten Bowl would be among by top choices.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
As has been pointed out, the ladies who frequently work the Benten Bowl truck are wonderfully insightful, friendly, and fast when it comes to service. They're passionate about what they do and it shows. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
A standard bowl at Benten Bowl truck will run you $10.00, and while you'll get a decent amount of healthy food I wouldn't call it a large portion, and you still may well find you're hungry after a single serving. That's no too uncommon given food truck prices these days, but it's noteworthy. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
My Spicy Mayo Ponzu Chicken bowl was clearly assembled with precision, and I could tell immediately tell that the ingredients were fresh. The chicken was well trimmed, the peripherals fresh and flavorful, and the sauces a good compliment. Was it the best chicken bowl I've had? No, but it did hit the spot. Single Star Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
Again this is a good truck for a decent healthy food truck option, but my meal didn't blow me away. No Star Granted. read more
