    Salmon poke bowl and fresh salmon roll
    Cindy C.

    Husband and I had just finished our hike and was looking for a nearby poke place. Bento was located in what I can only describe as a food hall. I was surprised to see just 2 shops open for a Saturday afternoon. We each got a Salmon Poke Bowl and a Fresh Salmon Roll. The portion and quality was fair when keeping price in mind. The poke bowl was more Korean inspired than Hawaiian. The salmon roll was delicious and definitely fresh, as described! Food took a little bit of time to come out, but that's understandable since they make it when you order it and there was an order before us. Staff was friendly. Definitely going to come back when we're in the area to try their other items! Plenty of seating inside. Street parking.

    Omg this place is amazing. Found it off Yelp and it did not disappoint. We got the spicy shrimp poke bowl the spicy yellowtail poke bowl as well. This was incredible the flavors were amazing the price was super reasonable. The poke was $9 and it was the perfect serving size. I devoured the entire bowl and the spice hit me at the end. The spicy hand rolls were okay not my favorite. I would definitely go back.

    sushi was really good, cheap and fast! they have gluten free soy sauce and plenty of options. unfortunately the miso soup was not gluten free :(. they were very nice and the atmosphere is great. also, free water! perfect for a college student craving sushi, most rolls are under or around $7/$8 my friends crunch roll was a 10/10. perfect late night drunk snack for later. my other friends dumplings were a 10/10, "amazing" . i also thought the rice to "inside" ratio was a little much, too much rice but i still enjoyed the rolls, i would just prefer less rice

    Tuna poke bowl no rice

    Bento-ria you saved my life! I went on an unexpectedly LONG hike in Boulder on a Friday afternoon and afterwards I was famished and my belly was screaming "Feed me poke!" I listened and quickly searched for poke in the area and stumbled upon Bento-ria. Bento-ria is a small family owned business tucked away off the main drag of Broadway in Boulder. The parking lot is tiny so I'd definitely recommend carpooling or ordering delivery! Just so you know Bento-ria is in the right corner of the second floor of the complex so be sure to keep an eye out. For starters this place is very small and quaint so I don't recommend coming in groups of more than three or four at a time. The decor is very bright and yellow which I love! The menu is simple and they even provide pictures. I was a little thrown off that this wasn't the same "build your own" poke bowl type of place but I was easily sold with tuna poke bowl which came with a generous helping of tuna, crab salad, seaweed salad, kale, lettuce, avocado, a sweet sauce, AND a spicy aioli. But wait I almost forgot it is served with rice! My bowl was delicious and light (I ordered without rice), the prices were pretty great. It was especially awesome to not be charged extra for avocado! If you are in the area in search for a tasty treat I'd highly recommend stopping in!

    Bento-ria is one of those hidden restaurants on the second level of this very hipster looking shopping center with affordable prices! Easier to park in the lot, though it's kind of tight, walk upstairs, you'll find the restaurant hidden to the right!! We had take-out only as this was in the earlier stages of Covid-19. We had the basics on what we usually get: The Philadelphia roll (Philly Roll) stuffed with cream cheese, (Which is my favorite fat in any raw seafood) and I loved the sound of smoked salmon, so this sounded like the way to go. It was actually the least of my favorite because the taste of the salmon seemed slightly off, but no harm done you know? My favorite was the Spicy California Roll; it caught my attention because it had spicy mayo on top. Steamed Dumplings are always my favorite, so I ended up enjoying this for sure.

    Tasty tuna poke bowl. Medium spicy was zippy but not burning.

    First thing, I will agree with everyone that the folks who run this little place are talented, hardworking and incredibly friendly, sweet people. Pair that with tasty fresh food, you have a winning combination. It's a tiny place and they advertise as takeout and delivery. But there are 4 little tables in there. It was so clean and inviting, I opted to stay and eat everything freshly served. I knew they could be very busy at traditional student eating times so I intentionally chose off peak times. I was the only one eating in, but takeout was continuous. Seems to be a staff of 2 to 3. I have enjoyed each of the dishes I have tried. My first visit was for a tuna poke bowl. A note on other reviews, they now cube rather than chop the tuna. I'm ok either way, I've had both in the past, so long as it is fresh. It was. I chose medium spicy and it was right for me. I'm guessing you can get plenty of heat if you want it. My husband probably needs mild. The size was good for me but a hearty eater probably needs the upsized version for the surcharge. The seaweed salad in the poke bowl was so good that I ordered a side of it on my second visit. It was a good choice to balance with an order of eight crispy dumplings. I chose the pork, and it was served piping hot. Each of these little meals cost less than $10. There are not a lot of drink options in the self service frig, just a small selection of soda and canned tea but there is a nice (and free) hot or cold water dispenser too. After all, the majority of customers have lots of drink options at home. I'll be trying takeout too for a comparison. I'm close enough to get the hot items home without having to reheat, I think. And I will try the sushi at some point too. The location can be an issue for some. It is located in one of the most tired parts of the Hill blocks. It is on the second floor, hidden from street view. Access is by some outdoors, very old stairs by the balcony entrance. I will hope that someday they can have a better location without losing the charm or quality of their handmade food.

    Great value. I had a shallow bowl of rice topped with diced yellowtail, seaweed & crabmeat. I think the sauce was an eel and spicy mayo.

PS went to Rocky fin it was also TERRIBLE the public needs to know the truth about these places and the quality and consistency of ingredients. I understand supply chain issues but not having edamame for a poke bowl restaurant is insane go to a grocery store at least for ur product, my managers would go to Whole Foods when we ran out of product and did mark outs maybe u should try that

When you first walk in, there are two kiosks where you can place your order and you may walk up to the cash register and order with a live person. We chose to order at the register and the employee was very friendly and explained the whole Motomaki process, which we appreciated. The process on how-it-works is located on the wall, but we both prefer in-person customer service. We ordered three rolls and one fountain drink for a total of $57 with tax.... I thought that was high for what we got. The service was fast and the ingredients were fresh. I'm glad I got the sauce on the side. My husband didn't care for the rolls because he said the seaweed was too fishy and he described them as "seaweed burritos". The rolls fell apart after we took off the aluminum foil. Also, just an FYI: three rolls were too many and we both would have been fine with one each but now we know for next time. Overall, I thought the food tasted good, the service was great, the price was high, and we would opt for bowls next time.

I appreciate the options for greens, white rice, brown rice, or a combo for the base. I loved the crispy eggplant, especially dipped in the jalapeño aioli. The salmon poke was cut and flavored well. The toppings tasted fresh and added a great texture to the bowl. I loved the addition of asparagus, which I don't often see in poke bowls. The happy hour $3 off from 2-5 p.m. is a great deal and brought my filling bowl down to $15.75. My order wasn't accurate -- I had to go up to the counter to ask for missing items that I had paid to add (edamame and a side of jalapeño aioli), but I was given them without a fuss. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were generous. I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area.
