    Came here cuz we were craving Japanese food. Lol. The place is a little small, but there was a steady stream of people coming in to eat. Sadly, the bento boxes seemed to be a mix of Chinese and Japanese good. Hahaha. I was a taken aback by seeing they had orange chicken as a choice for a bento box as that is not a Japanese dish! Hubs and I ordered the lunch bento (salmon teriyaki for him and chicken teriyaki for me). Son and DIL shared a sashimi plate. Surprisingly the sashimi tasted fresh! That was a big surprise. The bento came with a choice of egg drop or miso soup. Sashimi platter 5/5: The fish tasted fresh and not frozen! For the price of good sashimi you can't beat it. It was a little thin but it was awesome fish! Chicken teriyaki bento 3/5: The chicken was dry and I would rather have some real veggies instead of a couple of deep fried california pieces (2). I thought they were mushrooms at first! The california rolls were okay. Salmon teriyaki bento 3/5: The salmon was decent sized chunks. It was more tender than the chicken that's for sure. The service was nice. They were accommodating letting us choose whichever table we wanted. Overall a solid place to get sashimi in ABQ but I wouldn't come and expect authentic bento boxes. If you're okay with orange chicken or sweet and sour bento boxes then you'll be fine! It would actually be a 3.5. The sashimi bumps it up. Maybe if they advertised it as a japanese chinese restaurant I wouldn't have been so shocked by the chinese dishes!

    The food here is amazing, very fresh! All the flavors are very tasty. The service is very good. They are very helpful with the menu. The place is very small inside maybe six or eight tables. The restaurant is very clean. This is a must try!

    Tried this place for the first time... as we were trying to pick up lunch close to the area we were in. I love sushi and a good bento box, so was excited.... When we got inside it was nice and well lit. Cute decor and the waiters and workers were all friendly. I ordered a sesame chicken bento box and my husband got the orange chicken bento box. We also ordered a sushi roll to share. The chicken in the bento box was good. The sauces were both good and had excellent flavor... it was a little pricy for the amount of food... but it was good. The sushi came out room temperature which was a bit off putting to me, as I do not like fried or hot rolls I like them cold.... Other than that the sushi was ok.

    A nice little place with humongous taste! This place is absolutely fantastic! The food is rich with flavor, I had the bento box with the jalapeño chicken and the chefs choice sushi roll. My wife had the orange chicken bento box. The presentation on the plate was phenomenal and the staff was very friendly. Great, quality Asian cuisine!

    Stopped by after an adventure with my son. He wanted Asian so I Yelped and this was on the way. Small strip mall style restaurant filled with locals so that is always a good sign. Decent sushi list but seems to be a bento box place as that is what every table had several of literally. The place was packed so we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seater. Service was attentive and efficient. My water glass stayed full most of the time. They were busy. This seems to be a local family owned and operated business and they did a great job. I don't remember the two rolls but they were good and my son's Shrimp fried rice must have been great as it all disappeared rather quickly.

    The food looks amazing. It didn't taste as good as their reviews suggest, but I'm glad we gave it a try! It's pretty small inside they had about 8-10 tables available in the whole restaurant. I'm guessing most of their services are take-out or delivery. I'm a big soda person, I definitely love a big Coca Cola when I eat out. I didn't like that the sodas here come from a 12pack and they pour a can of soda inside a glass for you. I can just taste the difference since it wasn't a fountain drink. I'm crazy about my Coke! What can I say! I got the orange chicken plate. The way the chicken was fried was how I like it but the orange chicken sauce was their own version of orange chicken so you might like it. It isn't something I'd order again but I recommend you try it for yourself! The jalapeño chicken plate was rated 6/10 for us because it could have had a lot more flavor. The salad was so tiny when it came to our table I was laughing at my date. We were making jokes, BUT it did taste soooo delicious! Gyoza tasted like some good ole gyoza. Red Dragon roll was good we'd order that again. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the other sushi roll we ordered. The customer service was good. The bathrooms were clean too incase you were wondering.

    Bento Sushi Japanese Restaurant is off Wyoming across from El Patron at the end of a strip mall next door to Wink's Gym. Seating is at indoor tables; there are no booths or outdoor seating. Patrons in wheelchairs will have no issues here. The service was professional and attentive. The sushi was mostly decent; I think the most appropriate descriptor would be "forgettable". I had a Philly Roll, the Yellow Tiger Roll (yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber wrapped inside with crab stuck with masago on top) for $15.25, and two-piece unagi (listed as eel on the menu). The unagi pieces were the smallest I've had before. I'm not sure if they were the end of the eel or if the pieces are always so miniature at Bento Sushi. The Philly and Yellow Tiger Rolls weren't particularly memorable. They weren't bad, but weren't anything I'd crave. The presentation looked good, but the taste wasn't there.

    Santa Fe and California fantastic roll

    My new go-to sushi spot! My old place increased prices and decreased quality, so I was looking for a new place and decided to try based on Google reviews, I'm so glad I did! I've eaten here a handful of times now and each time has been great. I always get the California Fantastic roll and the Santa Fe roll, both are delicious! I also love their egg drop soup! Service is always great, and I love how clean it is. Highly recommend!

    Orange Chickem Bento Box, Lunch

    Ordered Bento Box with Orange Chicken. best Bento I've ever had! All the usual items plus some not listed on the menu. Generous portion. Orange Chicken was lightly breaded and the sauce was excellent! I learned I can substitute the California roll in the lunch Bento box for something else. Also ordered Jasmine tea, served hot and a second pot was delivered 1/2 way thru the meal for nothing extra. For the meal received, the price of $15 was very reasonable! Great Service. Small and intimate restaurant. I will be going back to try the sushi menu!

    Miso and egg drop soup. So good.

It is not the biggest restaurant, and is popular, so I would recommend being prepared to wait during "popular busy time" but it is so worth the wait. So I also recommend waiting. The staff is always pretty friendly and accommodating. I shared an app, a roll and an order of salmon sashimi with a friend on both visits. The food is always fresh, and delicious! I never feel like I am being overcharged for what I get either. Going to eat for sushi can feel like that sometimes. The quality of the food is great and everything is always aesthetically pleasing as well. I had their avocado bomb on my last visit and I was delightfully surprised with it. I like avocado in most cases, but sometimes, it can be a lot at one. I thought this was going to be like that when I saw it, but I was wrong. I look forward to getting one of these on my next visit! On my last visit my friend and I saved room for a dessert, one that we saw rotating on their screens that they have in the restaurant showcasing some of the menu items. It was a take on a bananas foster. It looked delicious but alas, we'll see if we can manage to get it next time. Note to self, have dessert first on next visit?

We ordered 2 orders of Chicken Katsu appetizers, 6 Piece Gyoza, Kastu Donburi, & Beef Nagomi Ramen. For the chicken katsu appetizers we asked if it came with rice which we wanted them to, and the lady said they did. It was disappointing upon arrival at home and there was no rice included. We had to cook rice at home instead. The katsu pieces were crispy and the little one liked it, so that was good. Not a fan of the sauce it came with, though. 6 pc gyoza was good. We liked the sauce it came with as it was flavorful. Would reorder in the future. Katsu Donburi bowl was good. Would recommend and portion was just right. Nagomi Ramen - we asked for beef, but it looked like it was pork instead. It was pretty bland, which was disappointing. So maybe will get it spicy next time if we order again. Great portion size. Would consider going back to try their sushi and other options.

We were greeted by a hostess who was kind an polite. They thankfully allow reservations for parties of 6 or more which was nice because when we arrived they were getting are table ready. When our full party had arrived they sat us at the grill area. Our server was amazing, she did a fantastic job. Although my plate had to be made in the back due to an allergy the experience was amazing. Don't take me saying that as a negative response, I was super appreciative that the server took the time to make sure I was taken care of due to my food restrictions. The chef was funny and offered sauces to go with out Hibachi to try. The food was also delicious. The Sushi I ordered as a starter was amazing and fresh. They also made sure to bring me some gluten free soy sauce, due to my allergy. Afterwards as we were packing our food the server asked if it was okay to bring my son some Ice cream since it was his birthday, of course I agreed. I also would like to include that they allowed us to bring in an outside cake for my son. They also store it in a cold environment and will bring it with plates, utensils and a spatula to cut an serve the cake. Overall the experience was amazing and I will definitely be reserving time here for more get togethers with my family.
