Airport sushi what can we say about it. Pretty run of the mill. Not best dish and the rices tastes a lil too sweet. Affordable at least so that's a plus. This is a takeaway sushi spot. Got a sushi platter w tuna nigiri, spicy tuna roll and California roll. They give you chopsticks and soy sauce/. Service was a bit slow. read more

I grabbed a quick bite to eat in Terminal 4 of JFK. Typically, I *love* all-you-can-eat sushi, and I get a craving for raw salmon, so I gave in and picked up a premade sushi tray. Food: Salmon Samurai Combo *Sigh* For $18.50 ($16.99+NY tax), I received 8 pieces of sushi that had been hand-made fresh, that morning. (For reference, I had this at 6 PM). - The salmon was thickly sliced (which would have been pleasing in some restaurants), but it had lost some of its texture. - The avocados didn't have any hint of browning, which was good. - The rice was not tender and definitely out for a lot of the day, even in the fridge. Service - Unfortunately, I probably caught them on a bad day. Even though there was almost no line (one person was in front of me, and one behind me), the server was very curt and impatient. (In comparison, other places around, like Shake Shack had about 20-30 people lined up). Ambiance: - It was literally just a grab & go place with a few other options. Conclusion: I've had better supermarket sushi for much cheaper prices. At more than $3 a piece this was very disappointing. Verdict: 1 star. read more

Bento Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Grab-and-go sushi and rice bowl spot near Gate B26. This terminal seems to have a lot of unhealthy food places like Dunkin' Donuts, Shake Shack, and Buffalo Wild Wings. I didn't really like any of the eateries here, but this one felt like the least worst option. Bento Sushi is a large sushi chain. They mostly open locations in airports, universities, and grocery stores. Prices are on the higher side which was expected, but it wasn't outrageous. Besides bowls and rolls, you can also purchase a few side dishes like inari and seaweed salad. Everything is already packaged and displayed in the open air refrigerator, so you simply choose whatever you want and then pay at the register. To their credit, they do make a conscious effort to prepare, hand roll, and slice their sushi on-site. It is pre-made, but it's made in their kitchen during the morning hours, not shipped in already made from an off-site facility. I tried the Atlantic Salmon Samurai Combo, which was Salmon Nigiri and Salmon Avocado rolls. Sodium and sugar levels were much lower compared to the Salmon Avocado roll I get at Whole Foods. The fish had a nice orange color and there was no browning on the avocado, which was a relief. Only the rice tasted like it was made a couple hours ago, like it lost its moisture. Overall it was pretty on par with the sushi you'd get at a Japanese supermarket, but at restaurant-level prices. Not really something I'd get if this was outside the airport, but it was the best available at that moment. read more

Bento Sushi - Atlantic Salmon Samurai Combo ⋅ Terminal 4 @ JFK - Queens, New York - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jamaica, New York

I was looking for a quick stop during my layover here at JFK and while the sushi was alright I think I would have done better elsewhere. The food was pretty good though there was at least one chewy bit in the Alaskan Salmon spicy rolls I got. That aside the taste was fine. Nothing you couldn't get at the grocery store. Of course, being trapped in Terminal 4 you get by with what you've got. The service was solid, no complaints and I got my food quick. The ambiance is airport hallway. Really nothing else to say there. I'll update you if I wake up yacking on my flight to Dublin. read more

I've had airport sushi here at there. It can be good, it can be bad, it's rarely ever great. It's not their fault - they are limited on the knives because it's an airport. This review takes that into account. Big bunker of stacked boxes of different varieties of sushi are available. Because this place is good, the sushi really seems fresh because it's turned over often and they're making it all day. If you stand over to the side, you can actually see the chefs rolling rolls and preparing boxes. California rolls, tuna and/or salmon nigiri, some maki rolls, some things covered in tempura flakes and sauces, something for all tastes. There are also gyoza dumplings. I opted for a box of tuna, both nigiri and maki. It was reasonably fresh. Not as fresh as if I'd been sitting at a sushi bar, more like it was about an hour or so. And that's perfectly okay. I also grabbed a box of edamame and they were tasty and crisp. I feel like I made a way better choice than burgers or pastries or a slice of pizza. I'll get sushi from them again. read more

Grabbed dinner from Bento Sushi before catching a flight. Would not stand on its own, but a perfectly reasonable option when traveling out of JFK. Quality: As good as you can hope for with airport sushi. It was clear that they were constantly refreshing the options and knew not to leave packages out for an extended period of time. I felt like my Salmon Roll Combo, which was a few different styles of salmon-focused items was decently fresh. The rice was not the best, but that is inevitable when sitting in a fridge. Quantity: I went with a larger order, and it was a perfect sized dinner. Value: $18 for Salmon Roll Combo. Ambiance: Bento Sushi has a few locations around NYC, this one is in JFK. It is little more than a food stand with a large refrigerated section full of prepared sushi options up front. No specific seating area for this spot in the airport. Crowd: Lots of people checking out the options. Service: Plenty of fresh sushi packages ready for pickup. Parking: Located inside JFK Airport. read more

I know it's airport sushi and it's not supposed to be cheap nor great, but it's seriously not good. The rice is too sour and hard. The fish didn't taste much and the wasabi wasn't spicy. The only thing that was good was the fried onions and the spicy mayo. The counter seemed very messy and dirty. However, the cashier was very nice. read more

Sushi was okay - only decent food place we found in T4. We were looking for something cleaner and easy to eat.

This was my first time eating airport sushi. I chose the salmon avocado roll. It was not bad. They did not have gluten free soy sauce, but the employee was friendly. I'm wiring this review the next day; I'm feeling fine. I consider that a win! read more

Terminal 4 seems to basically be junk food: pizza, burgers, chicken wings, and donuts. Wanting something a little lighter, I was excited to find Bento Sushi by Gate B25 (a pretty long haul from B53 which is where I was coming from... but worth it especially if you're vegan, have a bit of a layover, and want something healthier). The line here moves super quickly since most of the rolls are in a grab-and-go case. Physically, I feel good about my purchase: an avocado-cucumber veggie roll, seaweed salad, edamame, and a seltzer water. Monetarily? Not so much: my bill was over $35. Yikes. The veggie roll was solid, though: rolled tightly, plentiful in filling, seemed fresh (i.e. the avocado wasn't browning), and hit the spot. the seaweed salad was decent though a bit slimy; and while edamame is edamame, I just wish there had been a bit more for what I paid (it comes in a deceivingly large box). I'm not usually in this part of JFK, but I'm glad to know this spot is here if I'm ever passing through again. Airport sushi can be hit or miss: the hit here is the sushi (and the plant-based options, a rarity in airports I find), the miss is the price (but I'd rather pay more and feel good then pay less and feel gross). read more

Super hungry & the bento teriyaki bowl sounded good. It was a happy surprise! The chicken piece was delicious and was huge and slightly over grilled (which is PERFECT for airport food!) I'm a semi big dude. I work out. It was about 4pm and was my first meal of the day. Sure, carb heavy, but the sticky rice was perfect. It could use more of the cabbage instead of more rice. Not really a complaint though. I will definitely revisit this place my next trip! Terminal 4 between gates 24-26. TLDR: if you're hungry and want a good chunk of protein & rice, grab takeaway here. read more

Rude staff- no hello or thank you. They were busy talking to each other than servicing their customers. The fish was fishy and sliced extremely thin with a lot of rice underneath. read more

Best airport sushi I've had (which, yes, is a rather low bar). Got the California roll as a safe option, and it tasted as expected. read more

The business charged us $16,000 instead of $16 and refuses to answer our calls! Do not go here. They will scam you!!!

Solid sushi at the airport for a decent price. It's a quick grab and go, with fresh fish (yum yum, Salmon Roll Combo), wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce. What more can you ask for? read more

Horrible. Sushi was basically frozen. Fish had absolutely no flavor. Wanted to return it but I was already on the opposite side of the terminals... 14 dollars went to waste. read more

This location just opened up. It offers freshly made sushi, ready for passengers to enjoy either before departure or during flight. I spotted everything here from your traditional California Roll to a full salmon offering with its Salmon Roll Combo. All products come with wasabi, ginger, soy sauce and chopsticks and are in an easy to transport package. It's the best to-go sushi I've ever had. Thanks Bento Sushi for a healthy airport food option. I really enjoyed my meal of tuna avocado roll. read more

I saw the two Japanese guys and made my own estimate of the high volume and decided to take the plunge. Seems to have all worked out. Tasty spicy tuna roll. Could have used some more ginger but an overall win for airport take-away sushi. read more

This food is gross. I got chicken donburi and the chicken is gross chicken thigh. It was rubbery and covered in fat. Not like the picture at all. Don't eat here unless you want to be disappointed and waste $18. read more

This brand varies a lot from store to store. The Bento Sushi at The Shoprite in Flanders has stale dried rice in their Sushi. Other stores are better and still other Sushi's elsewhere tend to have more experienced people making their product. Find a good place and stick with that chef. read more

I am impressed, Bento Sushi was certainly extremely good. Overall, I think Bento Sushi is a great, fun spot. Every thing tasted fresh and was terrific! Service was good and everyone working here was really nice and generous. Awesome! Will return and recommend this spot always. read more

I love this Bento sushi, very clean, staff is very courteous, professional and specially Rafsan the way he explain the menu that was excellent and he handed the customer so nicely with a beautiful smile I truly enjoyed my visit there, will definitely return.... And I'll suggest my colleagues to visit here. read more

Due to lack of time to explore JFK's food options at Delta's Terminal 4, I decided I would get sushi because it's quick and I could easily eat it on the go. Worst decision ever. I took one of the salmon sushi platters from the cooler and it was probably the worst sushi I've ever had. It was stale, the salmon was rubbery, and the rice was so dense and way too sour for my taste. I've had deli sushi better than this. I am one to finish my food and I barely ate half of this unappetizing "food". It was dinner rush hour too - you'd think turnover is high and the food would be fresh. Perhaps people have had better experiences when ordering sushi that was made-to-order... like their special rolls. My advice is to take your business elsewhere.... and definitely do not get the refrigerated sushi. read more

JFK Airport has many varieties of food when you're hungry and waiting for a flight. When you really want sushi and you're at the airport, Bento has you covered. The fish is pretty fresh with an average cut, the rice taste like regular refrigerated sushi rice almost hard and cold. read more

Standards should be low to start with if you're hunting for sushi in an airport but after 8hrs on a flight I wanted something lighter than burgers and bbq. This place is a joke. They microwave everything, including the rice. read more

Stopped here after long day on the road getting to the airport. Don't stop here move to another restaurant in the airport. We ordered both the chicken bento box and donburi bowl. Both had a slab of chicken on top with out being cut up and were very fatty. Not a knife to be found in the terminal so we had to eat caveman style. Very little to no sauce on either. Potstickers were bland and soggy. Wish I had read reviews. read more

This is surprisingly good. I was surprised, I didn't expect much from airport sushi. They warmed up some dim sum for me and I enjoyed it. It would help if the permafrost boxes had a mix of salmon and tuna, rather than just salmon three ways or just tuna two ways. read more

Best value! Quality of the food is great and price isn't too bad. Always my first choice at JFK T4.

Located right in terminal 4, but, inspect what you buy. They say that they make it fresh everyday, but I was passing by today after it closed and leftovers were left for tomorrow, not tossed. And it looks like it has already seen better days. read more

It was edible. Rice was somewhat stale or too cold. Wasabi was spicy enough. Roll tasted mostly of cucumber instead of spicy tuna, because the cucumber was a majority of the roll. It was alright.. definitely better than waiting on shake shack or bdubs when in a hurry. read more

Purchased 1-edamame and 1-miso soup which is freeze dried in a cup. The edamame was chilled, I'm used to heated. The miso soup was microwaved and the cup was falling apart as I walked to my gate. All for $15.22, what a complete waste of money. I know airport food is expensive but this was ridiculous. read more

One of the more affordable options. Considering an order of chickens wings next door cost the same as an order of sushi here I definitely prefer the sushi. If you don't see something you like in the premade section they will custom make an order for you. They were already making fresh sushi at 8am. read more

I was waiting for the airplane and I was hungry so I decided to get some sushi. I was short by 23 cents but they let me have it anyway! These people are so nice and I greatly appreciated it. The sushi also is delicious! read more

For 'pre-made and refrigerated for a little bit' sushi, this is fine. It looked and tasted fresh to me. The price was a bit high for my wallet, but they do that at the airport. I just wanted a quick bite before my long flight, so this place worked out for me. If you have very high standards for sushi, this might not be the place for you, but if you're relaxed about it and just need it to taste reasonably good and be fresh, give it a try. read more

I ordered the salmon and California role bento box. Very mediocre in every way with the salmon tasting so bland that I went elsewhere after a few bites. And almost $15! read more

I would give this place 0 star if the option is there, stale fish, raw or cooked, you shall have better luck with the junk food options in the terminal. read more

The sushi is pretty good but the customer service of the employees sucks. They don't include all ingredients as labeled on sushi and when I brought that up, they dismissed me and said they wouldn't make me a different one with all ingredients listed. read more

Tried to find a fast healthy option. Ordered chicken teriyaki and rice with a side of edamame. The most disgusting thing I ever eat. Chicken had a weird texture and the edamame was frozen. Threw the whole thing away read more

This sushi is perfectly adequate airport sushi, which is more than you can ask for at JFK. The chef was making it in front of us which also helped make the experience feel a little fresher. read more
