If I had to choose between Pei Wei, Panda Express, or Bento... I'm not entirely sure I'd pick Bento. I think that it's great they offer quick and convenient Asian-style food, and they even offer inexpensive sushi. The sushi, however, is all I enjoyed of my meal. The red curry with tofu was kind of tragic. I know that's harsh, but wow, so was the taste of the curry. The noodles with chicken that I got were absolutely swimming in sauce. I don't even remember what I got because I just remember the abundance of sauce. I'm not saying I wouldn't go back. I'd just strictly get sushi. read more

Man it pains me to give this place 3 stars. This was my fave fast casual asian dining in college- the Pao Pao (spicy creamy) chicken bowl is incredible. People literally flew it to me when I left college and lived in MD. But I've been 6 times now and have had something wrong with my order EVERY time. Expect it to take longer than 30 min whether you dine in or order ahead. Only one of six times was it ready under the 20 min mark. There are some issues from the online ordering site to what prints out for the kitchen. A couple of examples- I ordered lo mein and got a side of plain udon noodles, I said no mushrooms and there were mushrooms, I asked for a side of veggies and there was no side of veggies....it goes on. Check your order before you leave!! Once I ordered it on ubereats. They even managed to send me the wrong persons food! When I called them, they recognized their mistake and asked if I could come in to pick up the correct food because Uber had already closed the order. If ANY other place had this many issues I would not go back. But that Pao Pao sauce is worth the eye rolls, and it's a great price point. So I say go, but know what you're getting into! Or maybe try another Florida location because I've never had issues like this with any of the others! read more

This review is written on behalf of my bf who had an unpleasant experience here. Months ago, we came here together and ALSO didn't have a great experience considering that our food took longer than it should. The manager (an older gentleman) gave us a free drink card that night. Fast forward, my bf came recently came and claimed the drink and ordered a sushi roll for lunch. Upon arrival, he was not greeted. A girl at the front, Angelina, just blatantly stared at him. He took it upon himself to ask "hello, how are you?" And still, no response. She still doesn't say a word nor ask how he can be helped. As he orders, this girl gives major attitude and presses buttons on the screen really hard. When asking her what his options are, she continued to stay mute and points at it. And when she did speak, it seems like she's purposely mumbling so she can't be heard. Upon reviewing of what he ordered, she still tried to charge him for the drink. Overall, she was rude. So many things went wrong at this point, and clearly we are clueless on where the customer service is? And HOW this is kind of behavior is acceptable? My bf doesn't ever complain about anything like this but he felt like this experience could've been prevented. He even asked someone at the meal prep station if he could speak to the manager and waited AGAIN, longer than he should. He had to remind them a second time to bring a manager out. Nevertheless, the manager (Maria) was useless. She didn't seem to know what she was doing or clearly how to handle the situation. Not really apologetic to what took place, and was more defensive with her staff. Not everyone can provide excellent customer service, but AT LEAST have decent manners. Not sure how a business can operate with people who can't even do a simple task of greeting their guests, let alone helping with their order. read more

I should have known better than to call in an order at 10pm when they closed at 10:30pm, but I really wanted a veggie roll. When I walked in the pick up the order, they were obviously cleaning for closing or sitting in their phones. Of course that weren't happy about me being there so late, I know I know. But the veggie roll tasted like everything in it was expired, down to the cream cheese. I ate 2 pieces and spit the 3rd one out, fearing that I may get sick. The color of the veggies were a bit off as well. The spring roll was still good though. I will stick to the Davie location moving forward, as I never have a problem there. read more

Placed an order online the same as i do every time. All of a sudden they ca not remove onions although it has been done before and it is an option on the site. Bad service. Bad food. Zero help from management read more

My family like the food and the presentation of the food. They had noodles, rice with chicken and shrimp. We went back a 2nd time and they were not so impressed because the food was cold. I think it's worth a 3rd try in the near future. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was excited to see the restaurant was booming with business! For starters, the customer service was amazing and majority of the staff working there truly looked like they were enjoying themselves. In my eyes, that means the food is being prepared with attention and care! I came in and the incredible list of flavors and options were slightly intimidating, but with the help of one of the employees, I was recommended the Gochujang Garlic Chicken Bento Box which was super tasty. The Bento Box includes lo mein, your choice of white or brown rice, sautéed garlic green beans, a ginger salad and your choice of entree, mine being the Gochujang Garlic Chicken. The chicken was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy and also a hefty portion and the ginger salad was a mix of cucumber, cherry tomatoes and a proper salad mix with romaine. The other sides were just okay. Along with this, I ordered a Peach Green Boba Tea which was decent, nothing much to rave about and too sweet for my liking. Overall, a decent lunch option! read more

Ideally, I'd give this place three and a half stars. We ordered the food ahead of time, but the workers took a bit of time on the boba. The place looked clean, and the interior wasn't much to write home about. My dad ordered the Florida and TNT roll, and it was relatively decent, but nothing stellar; just average. I got a strawberry milk tea, and the tea was pretty good. The boba was pretty on par with what I've had before. Good place if you're hungry and need somewhere close by the Hyatt in Dania Beach. read more

This is definitely a gem of a place Bento Asian Kitchen + Sushi - we were group of 11 and ordered Wok bowls/ Pad Thai / Pao pao / Bento Box / Sushi - the food was excellent- every one in our group were all praise for the tasty and yummy food rolled out quickly upon order . We all loved the food and ambience + location read more

Fast food sushi and poke bowls are ok by me. Ended up eating here twice in a weekend because it was next to my hotel and 1) I love Poke, and 2) I was hungover often... so yeah this place was my cure. Easy ordering system - pay at the counter, you'll get a number and they'll bring it to your table. And nice staff. I love places that have custom poke bowls, as well as some pre-set options as my mom isn't good at creating her own. Portion size is pretty good for the price. One complaint, the ice or drink machine is super loud, and, ok two complaints, I was always freezing inside. read more

We ordered two orders of sushi and a noodle bowl. The sushi was fantastic! Spicy tuna and Miami roll we're super delicious and fresh. The tuna was minced and mild tasting. The Miami roll had shrimp on top and crab inside. That roll was outstanding. The noodles were a little bit too saucy but the vegetables and noodles done to perfection. We sat outside on a beautiful night and enjoyed our meal. If I lived here I would definitely come back here. Patio is spacious and lots of indoor seating. Wonderful menu good for families. Reasonable prices. read more

Came in for a quick bite on a Sunday evening. Saw a few tables with dirty plates and food and thought nothing of it . Ordered two chicken noodle bowls and sushi. Sushi was not fresh. Then the chicken noodle bowls. Absolutely inedible. Overcooked, over salted and poured with sugar. Food was disgusting. I should have left after seeing the tables but thought it would be cleaned. 15 minutes pass, workers pass the tables refusing to clean it. Soda machine wasn't working. Ice wasn't working. Restaurant is neglected and a shame to the bento name. read more

Son, I am disappoint... very, very disappoint. This is essentially cheap, conveyor belt 70s Chinese kitchen takeout slop, just re-marketed and repackaged with a more updated look/feel. If it has an app, it must be different! Completely bland and uninspired. Fresh but not flavorful or memorable at all. Seems like cheap GFS kind of stuff. The decor, location and website/app market it out to be a lot nicer than what you get. Its not bad, really, just meh. I literally could have taken my family to the Chinese buffet down the street for 1/3 the cost, and it really would have tasted better. I don't have a problem paying premium prices for premium fast food. But this just doesn't cut it. They say gen Z is more about the 'experience' but come on, even they have to realize this is just rebranded 70s slop, just without the flavor. The staff and modern decor were great. The rest.... Stick to the MSG... seriously... read more

I love Bento on Davie, but this location made me sad. It's FREEZING cold inside. The wait time was a little ridiculous. Next time I will order online. I ordered 4pcs Special Mex sushi and I don't think that warranted a 30 minute wait. Then when I got my food it was wrong, so they had to make the correct order. The cashier was really nice and helpful. read more

I can see how this place has a 3 star rating, subpar food with subpar customer service. They don't necessarily cater to the customer and the food was a little bland. I had to ask for extra seasoning. A little bit of effort in the food would go a long way. On the plus side it was clean. read more

First of all this place has good food, we like it and come regularly. To actually have Pad Thai that uses rice noodles instead of the wheat or partially wheat noodles is great and much healthier and gluten free. But this tendency for small businesses or any business attempting to create their own little fiefdoms concerning government regulations is completely unacceptable. Mobs don't make the rules. The mask mandates across the country during the pandemic were totally unenforceable and had no legislation of any kind backing them. It was simply accepted by the masses thru the spreading of fear, easily half of which was carried out by the media. We are a nation of laws and though it was acceptable to wear masks for a time while this horrible disease was spreading we've reached the other side of it now. It's over! The government and its various medical entities instituted the precaution and have done so before in other pandemics, but again without the backing of law. The CDC DHS and WHO having no enforcement capabilities of any kind. The government started it now the government has ended what they started, nobody else has anything to say about it. The fact that businesses are attempting to force such things upon the citizens of this country is not their business - and it is unlawful. People should get back to the business of minding their own business, which is to conduct business. Not continue to mob others with the mob-rule, of insisting that you do what they want you to because they feel like it. Everyone has feelings, and feelings are not law, and their feelings are none of my business. When they are forced it makes for bad business, forcing things you shouldn't always does that. Customer service has always been a big deal in this country. Good eateries near good hotels have long been considered part of the hospitality industry, not hospital. But we do like their food! When they stop the bully tactics of forcing their customers to do something their business has no control over and no legal backing for - we'll like them too :-) Thank you miss Maria, sister Lyne and the cooks. The yellow and red curries are also amazing. Such dishes remind me of Cocos Curry House in Japan. read more

Maybe not the best place. At the end of the day is my opinion so give this place a try at your own risk. From 1-10 I'll give this place a 3. Miso soup was watery no flavor. The The noodles on my bento was cold. The protein was great. Hospitality was fair. Environment was ok. For me was disappointing. read more

Was disappointed to see a cleaning staff member clean the floor with a rag and then went on to use the same rag to wipe down all the tables.. Dude! That's like using your mop to clean of your dinning table! How could she not know that was not acceptable .. yuck! read more

My son and I are big time poke bowl fans, but they can be pricey. We checked this place out in Dania pointe on their official grand opening day. My son thought his poke bowl was one of the best he's ever had (granted, I don't usually take him to the high end poke places...hello...pricey!....lol) but he still has had enough that he can tell the difference between not fresh and fresh. I didn't love mine as much but that was because I found the poke soy sauce to not go well with the greens I chose (instead of rice). The portions were quite large. I had a regular build your own and was impressed with how much tuna I got for about $12. The two rolls we had (spicy tuna and Japanese) were pretty good too. The employees were super friendly and attentive. Bottom line: it's a fast food type sushi and poke place, so don't expect amazing, but for the price and convenience, I can definitely say it will be a new go-to in the neighborhood. read more

This is the second time I come to this restaurant. First time was a few months ago and got terrible service. I thought I would give it another try, as anyone can have an off day. Well, employees need to be trained in customer service. Restaurant was empty when we walked in. None of the 4 employees looked at us or the line that was forming. It was like "if we don't look at you, you're not there". We waited for a few minutes and still nobody acknowledged us, like just look and say "we'll be with you in a minute"! We finally got to order. Food came to the table cold. Not only that, but the girl that brought food over literally slammed each bowl on the table! We will not give this restaurant a third chance and do not recommend the service or the food. read more

This has to be one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time the food and service was excellent. This was my first time having boba tea it was amazing my Oder was fresh and hot and most importantly right the waitstaff was very professional and courteous and a gentleman who seem to be one of the managers came around and asked if everything was OK with the food it's nice to see people take pride work. I will be coming back to this establishment again and many more times in the future, I had a very pleasant experience and I will be recommending this restaurant to everybody that I know keep up the good work bento read more

My boyfriend and I came by whim and we loved it! Our server, Deborah, was great at recommending a yummy sake to my preference and our ramen was delicious. They make their noodles in house. Will definitely be back! read more

The BEST customer service and the sweetest staff. The only issue is the boba. The taro and the honey boba is quite literally the worst tasting boba I've ever had. The texture was as if they overcooked the pearls and the taste of the taro was way off. Definitely choose another flavor and don't get the pearls. I also tried the mango tea with lychee jelly it was DELICIOUS! read more

So glad Bento is finally open at Dania Pointe! Visited during their soft opening and had great service and amazing food. We got edamame, orange chicken and lo mein, pad Thai, and taro boba. Everything was absolutely delicious!! Obviously, employees are still training so please be patient. Everyone seemed excited to be there and attentive to everything going on. Unfortunately the dining room was closed when we went so we had to eat outside but the inside is so nice and modern! Can't wait for this to become a go to spot for me :) read more

Don't give this place your money unless your extremely desperate and about to die from starvation. The service was beyond horrible, but what can you expect from a place that hires kids that probably already don't make shit. The sushi that I ordered tasted exactly the same. I also ordered the boba and I was super excited to try the boba.... that was disappointing. If I could give a negative five star review I would. read more

This is my second location that I have tried & I am not disappointed. Food is always hot and tasty & They make accommodation for specific requests. Great team of workers that are very personable & professional. Worth stopping by if you are in the area. read more

Came here second time and never again. We got sushi and fried rice and the food didn't taste fresh. Avocado and rose in sushi tasted old. We got an upset stomach right as we were leaving. Never coming back read more

Forgot about one of our orders - we waited 2 HOURS for some sushi rolls (easiest thing to make) & reminded them MULTIPLE times. obviously they have no management. (Paid OVER $66 - for a terrible experience. Might as well take your money somewhere else) They kept messing up everyone's orders and mixing up peoples meals, it's a huge mess. Food is subpar - compared to other bentos when I order the same thing. They put two people with the same order number - so our food was left sitting there getting cold unless we got up and went back inside to ask where's our food?? They finally put two and two together. Than waited even more time (over an hour or 2) to get a simple box of sushi. They also made us wait an hour for a boba tea order - once we got it it was all watered down. So what was the point of waiting? It's not like they made anything better with their "special ingredient" that they made us wait for. Don't let the new fancy location fool you - they suck might as well go somewhere else where they know how to at least train their employees correctly. They also have no manners (when you're nice to them and polite) they just maintain a straight face , Throw you your food and don't care. I understand times are tough - but ethically you need to take any job you take in a high regard if that's the job in which you applied for. read more

Food was okay. Nothing wow. Lo mein noodles with steak were so so. The sushi rolls were small and tasted okay. Probably will only go back for take-out when I don't want to cook. read more
