Back at my favorite teriyaki spot for a bento box I swear I end up here at least once or twice a month--and for good reason. My go-to is the Thai chicken teriyaki (so good every time). The staff is always super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. They've got plenty of options too--soup, sushi, and more so there's something for everyone. It's conveniently located about 5 minutes from Target, perfect for a quick shop-and-eat run. The place is always clean and comfortable. If you've never tried a bento box before, I highly recommend starting here! read more

Tasty sushi with consistent quality, the food comes quick and is decently priced, the workers are nice and the place is clean. This location is smaller than some of the other ones but there is still plenty of tables inside. My cousins and I have come multiple times for dinner and we haven't had a problem with getting a table to fit us. It's located in a shopping center so there is always parking but sometimes a little bit away. read more

Overpriced - food does not come as pictured. Stay away from this place at all costs. Paid $30 for the unagi rice bowl expecting plenty of unagi (as pictured), but what came out was a bunch of small and mediocre pieces of unagi just thrown over the top of the rice - nowhere near the quantity nor as promised in the picture on the menu. Only two pieces of the unagi (Eel) were warm and the other ones were actually cold - along with the cold rice. Never never never coming back to the place. And I do not recommend this for anybody. The service sucks, the food sucks, the atmosphere sucks. Mentioned it to an employee and they just looked at me and they said "You ordered it"! Also, 2 other parties came in and ordered after us and received their orders before us... I'm not sure how much longer they will be in business with food and attitude like that. In total, paud $80.00 for two (2) people to eat. Should have gone to a fancy restaurant for those prices. My mistake giving these people the benefit of the doubt. read more

Bento Box - Tofu Teriyaki Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

The location is swell. It's in the heart of downtown, almost midtown. There are tons of other restaurants and businesses nearby. It's mainly street parking but there are a few paid lots and parking structures nearby. The service is alright. Our server came by to check on us about once. The sushi did come out quickly though. Id say our meal came out in about 10 minutes. The portions are averagely sized. They are your "large" sushi rolls but still will likely need 3 orders to get full (depending on your hunger). The prices are average for sushi in 2025. I'd say each roll is about $15, definitely expect to walk out of here for around $45 for a meal for two. This makes it a ($$$) for me but the flavor of the rolls were really good. I loved the sauce they used and the caviar was nice and crunchy. I also liked the cooked rolls they have. I always get the sake bombs when I come. Bottom line/TLDR: great sushi spot! read more

Bento Box - The menu - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Definitely check out this place for Monday through Friday daily specials. There's different bento boxes to choose from. They also have plenty of rolls. I like going for the bento boxes. Everything taste delicious and this is located near the college so the foot traffic can get a little crazy and busy. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. The last time I was here they were undergoing some renovations in the bathroom, but they were still usable. I can't wait to come back and check out everything this place has to offer and the new upgrades. read more

I didn't even get to eat their food because we left. I would leave no stars if I could. The worst customer service I've ever experienced. The kid at the front desk gave us menus and told us to find a table and when we're ready to order, come back to the front. Cool. So we find a table, realize we have questions and go up to the front desk because now I have questions of the menu and apparently there's no service of that kind! As soon as we walked up he asked us if we were ready to order. I said not quite... and quickly he told us then we need to go sit down. That we are not allowed to be up at the front in case other customers come in. Are you freaking kidding me?? I have questions but can't even get them answered bc I can't stand at the front. You guys lost my business indefinitely. Sushi is a dime a dozen. I can get that anywhere. Good customer service is NOT and that is Bento Box. What is the point of leaving a tip if the people that work there have no desire to help. I'm so irked. read more

I was very disappointed with my recent experience with Bento box this evening. I ordered the Korean Barbecue Chicken Bowl and Chicken Ramen for the first time. And I waited 36 minutes for overcooked Korean Barbecue Chicken. Though there was a nice amount of chicken, there were hardly any edible pieces of chicken to eat. And the vegetable portion size is just basically for presentation. As for the Chicken Ramen, I am pleased, as it's hard to go wrong with Ramen. There were only about 3/4 tables with people dining in. The rest had to be online orders like mine. Safe to say I won't be ordering the bowl again. read more

My daughter and I had a pretty good meal here the other day. We both got bento boxes. My daughter loved the tempura sushi roll and enjoyed her teriyaki chicken. I had the teriyaki salmon, which had good flavor but was a little overcooked. The tempura vegetables were nice, hot, and crispy, but more variety would have been nice. My daughter and I both got one piece of broccoli and like 6 pieces of sweet potato. I would have liked a carrot or zucchini. Overall, it was good but not my favorite Japanese restaurant. read more

I usually check the reviews before going to eat at a place, but I was in the area and craving poke for lunch. There were no customers dining when I got there and now I can see why. I ordered an ahi salad and a drink...it was pricey for the not so great quality. Salad was drenched in dressing and it was very spicy. The ahi had a rubbery taste so I poked at it and ate about 1/3 of it and left. I was so disappointed that I just wanted to leave. The lady at the cashier and the waiter were both polite but appeared to be very inexperienced staff. The waiter didn't even know what pickle ginger was when I asked him. He had to show it to confirm if that was what I asked for. Gave 2 stars because the portion was a generous amount and the dressing could've been excellent if it wasn't too spicy and less of it. Will not be returning to this place ever again...waste of money! read more

Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Food comes out quickly, it's a nice and quiet little place, and the food is surprisingly good. Service is minimal, you order at the front. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest but they were either closed when we went to try them or I got out voted. Luckily, we were driving around trying to look for a good spot. Found them again and arrived 30 min before they closed. We felt bad going in so late but we were hungry and I had a long drive back to the Bay. When we got in, we asked if we can still order and the lady at the counter was super kind and said yes. To help them a little, we asked to have the food in to-go boxes so less clean up and easy for us to pack up and go. Food looked and smelled AMAZING!! Everything we ordered was BOMB! We ordered 2 Korean short rib bentos, one teriyaki salmon bento, one teriyaki shrimp bento, one order of gyoza, and a lion king roll. This place looks like it's good for groups. Service was on point too! We are definitely going back! read more

I had a horrible experience eating here. I placed my order, and although the cashier repeated it correctly, they entered it incorrectly. When my food came out, I told the waiter it was wrong (mistakes happen). The manager came out and basically told me that because the cashier had repeated my order and I agreed, nothing could be done. She said that if I wanted the item I originally ordered, I would have to place an additional order. She was very rude about it--to the point that the waiter later came back and offered to pay for the item out of their own pocket. To make matters worse, the item they gave me cost $5 more than the one I actually wanted. I would not recommend eating here. This manager does not care about customers or ensuring they are properly accommodated. She needs additional training, or the restaurant will continue to lose customers. read more

Don't even bother; go to Sushi Cafe (916) 451-6888 or others around. When ordering take-out from Bento Box and one asks for a recommendation, they reply with "I am not comfortable with this conversation." We've given them many chances. If over $50 (when isn't it?), they require that one pays in advance. Who do they think they are? The food is okay. Local lame university and large number of homeless people in area show that this business isn't helping the city. read more

I didn't know I had to order first before sitting down. I wish they had some sort of notification for that. Other than that no complains on the food. Honey chicken had a nice kick to it and Teriyaki was flavorful. The location is filled with college students being so closed to student housing, chill good place to hangout and catchup with friends. read more

This place is soooo cheap. I think they think we can't tell. We can definitely tell. My friends & I have stopped going because of how weird they are about sauces and portions. They give you a hassle and make you pay an extra dollar or more for the smallest amount of spicy mayo. They barely put any fish on the rolls. Every location I've went to is like this. Tbey made the dining experience very unappetizing. read more

Shocked and disappointed! You tell me if this is a fair exchange.. I paid $8.50 plus tax for this yellowtail cut roll and they have the nerve to put 50% off the price. That's right, it shows $16.99 on the menu, a 50% discount.. WTF! I placed my thumb over three of the six rolls I received to give a scale of just how small these rolls are .. and look at how little fish are in the roll. This place is a complete sham and money grab .. with below average freshness expectation read more

I had ordered a Jalapeño bomb and the King Kong roll. Jalapeño bomb was good, but I ate ONE piece of the King Kong roll and did not like it! The tuna tasted sour and did not sit right in my stomach! I asked the manager for a refund & she said she could not because the food has been made and touched. I told her I ate ONE roll (which was obvious because the plate was still full!) And I said that makes no sense in terms of service. How am I supposed to know the food is not up to par if I didn't taste it? She still did not budge. My friend asked if I could sub another roll for the same price, and she said she does not do it, but for this time she will make an exception. Which does not make sense! Why is there zero accommodation for the customer if the food is not of liking? She explained refunds are available if there is hair on the food or anything of that nature, which does not make sense! Food is based on taste. Not just appearance! Never have I been to an establishment that did not issue refunds. Terrible and unpleasant service! read more

Rolls were good. Kudos. However, I do NOT recommend ordering the bbq albacore. I ordered it rare. Instead, I got 6 tiny pieces (each was about the size of a quarter or a nickel) of well-done/overcooked tuna. I expected the bbq albacore to be prepared like every other sushi restaurant (big chunks of juicy, rare tuna). Never seen it served like this before. I'd rather have three big succulent chunks than 6 little flakes of hard tuna. read more

This review is based off to-go only. It's been a while since I had bento box but was craving for some sushi. I ended up ordering 4 different sushi for myself! It took me few meals to finish them all lol. I ordered Kilamanjaro, Lake Tahoe, Fireworks and Cali-Fry. To be honest, they were all pretty similar to one another. Have almost the same ingredients. The rolls were pretty big. Tons of rice though. Overall, I enjoyed the all the rolls. I learned my lesson, no more being greedy for ordering so much as once. I was sick and tired of sushi after the 3rd meal lol read more

I would like to give this place a 2.75 stars. Not quite 3 and not quite 2. My reason being is that it seems like a hit or miss. The first time I went to this place was on 9/26/25- (first photo) I got the bento box lunch special which contained, teriyaki chicken, popcorn chicken, cucumbers, rice, and a salad. I didn't have high hopes, but, it was pretty decent. Enough for me to go back at least, but not too soon as their prices are a bit high for a lunch special, but they do give you a lot of food like a dinner plate. I went back today 10/29/25, almost a month later, & let's say I won't be back for a while. The food seemed to be okay, but t for whatever reason, I receieved some old ass salad. I'm pregnant, & I was really looking forward to eating this salad, but instead, tossed the whole thing in the trash. I wondered why they would serve it, it's clearly turning brown (check the photo). & not only that, lettuce is cheaper than almost anything in this bento box!! Why cheap out on it? If we could pay these places by how their food tasted, I'm sure it would be a hit everytime, & that's how they should prepare every plate/meal served to their customers. read more

Bento Box offers decent teriyaki bento boxes. Decent amount of foods, but I felt like the flavor was a bit lacking from the chicken. It wasn't super special and the teriyaki sauce came to the rescue. The pickled cucumbers didn't fit my taste as much, but they're a nice addition to the plate. I think next time I head here for lunch, I'll try different bento boxes to see which one may be better. Gyoza was great! I like the crunch and filling, good appetizier that I would get again. read more

Been coming here since I was in sac state and used to live across the parking lot in the university apartments over a decade ago. Now its a spot to hit up on the way home to the bay from going on trips to Tahoe with my husband but one thing that hasn't changed is this little restaurant that has such good bentos and sushi. The prices are good, portions are really nice and the quality is always wonderful. Favs are definitely the spicy cali fry and fair oaks for sushi. I ordered the sizzling honey chicken plate and my husband ordered a bento of salmon and short ribs. They staff are very friendly and the service is quick. Its a quiet spot with good music playing making it just a chill space to enjoy good food. Great pit stop before going home! Thanks Bento Box, we will definitely be back again :) read more

Delicious teriyaki salmon bento box, never had a bad experience or meal here. Definitely one of our favorites.

Not sure why this location has such an overall mediocre rating but I got the heart attack roll and bento box #4. It was really good. They give a lot of food. We figured out that we needed to order at the register after a few minutes had passed; they don't tell you that you order up at the front, but the wait time for the food makes up for that! I would recommend this place, especially if you're going to Sac State and need a fast and easy meal with fairly decent prices. read more

I like this place, fast service and the food is always good. Plus they usually have sports playing on the TVs which I truly appreciate. The thai chicken and Korean bbq are among my favorites. I don't think I've ever had a bad item from their menu. read more

When i went in to order the lady at the register did not acknowledge me she had another lady up there who i thought was going to help me and didnt so i looked at the menu for 5-6 mins, still no help. I walked out called in and she hung up on me when i asked the price of the sushi roll. I called back she gave me the price then put me on hold. When i finally got my Americano sushi rolls i ate them and started to feel sick caused my stomach to be upset i had food poisoning for two days! So not only was the customer service horrible the food was old causing me illness! read more

I haven't been here in a few months. The cashier told me they've been under new management for about a year. The place looks nice with some interior improvements. I would always get the bibimbap but unfortunately it was taken off the menu possibly because it required a lot of prep work. Instead I ordered the Friday lunch special chicken teriyaki and spicy chicken. Despite it being around 130 pm with only one other person in the restaurant, the food took about 15 minutes to come out. Once arrived I was very happy. The presentation was simple and appealing. The flavors were on point. The teriyaki chicken was perfectly cooked. This was my first time trying the spicy chicken and I really liked it! Will be back to try another lunch special. read more

Bento Box - Friday lunch special - Teriyaki chicken and spicy chicken - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place has TERRIBLE service. Waited 45 minutes on my 1 hour lunch break for food that was cold and not worth the wait or the price. My party's food all came out within 15 mins but mine took twice as long. By the time it came out I asked for them to box it and that took an additional 15 mins. When I told the manager I no longer wanted the food because of the wait time, she said she didn't know what happened because the kitchen goes by ticket order. Then she said she couldn't refund my money. I didn't have time to argue or demand anything. I took the food to go and it wasn't great. It was normal bento box tasting food. The cucumbers were a little fishy tasting. read more

I love bento box. It's so casual and chill you can just pull up in your PJ's for some good rice bowls or sushi. The service is pretty good, you order up front and they bring it to you. I only take a star off because I feel it's pricey for the atmosphere. Overall a good place especially if you stay nearby sac state. read more

E hot the Udon and the Ramen to compare. Both. Delicious and very freshly prepared. The tempura was delicately cooked and seasoned with the lightest non oily crispiest crust. The serving portions are quite large. The broths were full of traditional flavors. The service was wait staff was polite, professional and very accommodating. A little bit shy but warmed up quickly when encouraged. Music is modern but good. The establishment is very clean including restrooms. Wait staff was very attentive and checked back with us to make sure we had everything we needed. I recommend this place highly. I love its stylishly traditional yet modern fusion decor. read more

I was looking at my sushi roll made and sitting on counter for about 15 minutes before it got to the table. My stomach hurt now and u can't even taste the tempura cause of how soggy.

Bento Box - Soggy King Kong - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Saturday, 1/08/2022 - Saw "Bento Box" at the corner of 65th street and Folsom Blvd in a little plaza. There is an Office Depo across from Bento Box. Next to Bento Box was The Sandwhich Spot, Game Stop, SuperCuts and other stores. Decided to go to Bento Box and try them. It didn't look like anyone was eating inside. But there were people eating outside in a patio. Upon arrival.... Pros: 1) Lots of parking 2) place was clean. A few tables had chairs down and around it, but no one was eating inside. So we decided to eat outside too. 3) the young girls behind the counter were very helpful. But very quiet. You can tell this was a family owned restaurant. 4) we order Bento #1, which is the Chicken teriyaki, mixed tempura, 4 rolls and salad. Didn't take long for it to come out. I felt all of our foods were good. Chicken was soft and perfectly cooked, mix tempura was soft and crunchy (batter mixed perfectly), our rolls was very delicious. 5) the to-go box was nice. See photo. They do provide you with napkins, wooden chopsticks, forks, soysauce to go in the bag. 6) I saw they had raw fish too if you want some of those. Cons: 1) I wanted a cup of water to sip on while waiting for my order. Learned they do not provide that. You have to buy water bottle only. Conclusion: I like this place. Very quiet. Very nice service. I got in, ordered, got my food pretty quick, and I got out. I'd come here again. read more

Came for sushi and left with a headache. It cost me an hour and $46 for no lunch. It's clear why they have three stars, which seems generous. We've been regulars at the 65th and Midtown locations for years, but not after today. I arrived at 2:30 pm and placed my order. By around 3:15 pm, they realized the order hadn't gone through--some sort of system glitch-understandable, but frustrating. I requested my order to go and asked if it could be ready in two minutes for a 4 pm meeting across town. After receiving a vague response, I decided to cancel the order and request a refund. The staff didn't know how to process it. She asked for my contact information because a manager was needed for the refund. After grabbing a pen and a discarded receipt from the counter, the waitress scolded me for writing on it. I had to ask for something proper to write on and take the notebook from her because she was arguing, and I urgently needed to leave. I still haven't received a follow-up and will have to dispute the charge with my bank. The decline in service is unfortunate and deeply disappointing. read more

This was my first time at this location and I think the downtown one is better. Service was friendly enough but food was so-so. I ordered a combo box with teriyaki chicken and the Spicy battered prawns. It was pretty pricey at $23! My guest ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl and a sushi roll. I had one piece of the sushi, and it was ok, nothing super fantastic. The presentation was nice but for the price, amount of food and taste, it just didn't hit the mark for me. read more
