    Pretty decent sushi and bento place. I came here Friday evening for some quick dinner. The place is small and limited in parking spots and few tables for dine in. They sell some groceries besides food, price is tiny bit higher than big Asian groceries. I got spicy tuna rolls and chicken teriyaki. It took less than 10 minutes for the food to get ready. Tuna roll was big and rice is soft. Chicken teriyaki was okay. I enjoyed the salad came with the meal. Overall it was a good dinner.

    Just my kind of place! Small unassuming place you would miss if you didn't have a GPS. So I was in the mood for Japanese takeout and this place nailed it. Very good menu with lots of choices. Reasonably priced and extremely friendly service. Inside doesn't have much in the way of seating which is fine. Actually a small Asian grocery is part of this place. So cool. The food is fresh, carefully prepared (looks pretty and appetizing) and tasty. Spicy ginger pork was very yummy. Not too much spice. Gyoza were amazing. I could make a meal out of that. Shrimp dumplings were ok. Could be from frozen. Sushi was good. Fresh, nothing crazy but it is a side along with the box. Lots of food for the price. I mean look at the pic! I will def be back!

    A lot of people recommended this place, and I'm so glad I went. Ordered the udon, the chicken cutlet box with a spicy tuna roll instead of California roll, and a side of rice. Everything was fantastic. So simple, so comforting, even though this isn't something I grew up with. I did a little shopping while waiting for my food, and while there wasn't a huge selection, there were some great staples for me to restock my pantry at home. The food was well-packaged for the drive back, and nothing spilled. The people were kind, the place was clean, the food was great...what more do you need?

    This sushi was some of the best I've had in awhile and I eat a lot of sushi. The rice was so fresh and soft, the fish was fresh, the miso soup was perfect and the dumpling sauce was so tangy. I haven't had ginger dressing since moving to the area and the salad was so refreshing here. I am so glad we went there today!! The deal was amazing as well. Such good prices! I even tried a new drink and loved it! Overall great experience.

    Spicy pork ginger bento box! Seasoned so well that I order it every time.  I'll try to check out the rest of the menu next time.

    Bento-Ya is an Asian grocery store and cafe hybrid. The selection of groceries is small, down to the necessities/staples, however their menu is as plentiful as any other Japanese restaurant minus the hibachi. You have an array of sushi, kitchen dishes, and bento boxes to choose from. I've had the spicy pork ginger bento box and it's packed with flavor and not spicy to me. The bento boxes are good portions and includes the main entree, miso soup, ginger salad, seaweed salad, pork dumplings, rice, and half of a cali or spicy tuna roll. Place and pay for your meal order at the counter. There's a small seating area in the back room past the two grocery aisles. It's not ideal for large groups, more so a quick dine in spot. Don't expect alcohol and wait service where you can spend hours there shooting the sake. It's not that type of venue. There's a small parking lot, but if that's ever full, there's residential street parking available. The owners are friendly, the location is on a main road, the food is good, and you can do some shopping too.

    Side parking - many spaces available

    First visit observations: CLEAN, CLEAN,CLEAN…read more Masks were worn by all. A greeting when walking in the door. Large parking lot, great outdoor seating with spacious picnic area, and a handicap entrance. All great points. Mid sized nicely appointed country ish dining area inside with non sticky seating, huge plus! So, our server, and sandwich maker was a young man approximately aged 16, to 18, and it was notable, to me, that he was enthusiastic, polite, and on the ball. Kudos to you, young man. We ordered between the two of us: Knuckle sandwich, caprease corn salad, a burnt ends sandwich, corn bread, and a garden salad. The knuckle sandwich was huge, moist and delicious, not over smoked or salty at all, delicious. The corn caprease salad was fresh, summery and light, and plentiful, the mozzarella cheese added making it really very tasty. The sauce on the side, a bit on the sweet side, but very good, if I could add anything, it may be a second of the small containers or a larger one of sauces, maybe a selection of sauces would add to the flavor spectrum as well. The burnt end sandwich, which seemed to be a special that particular day, was done really well, as rich and yummy as these are, but the sandwich was not anywhere as big as the knuckle one. The side salad was very fresh, crisp, cold and good. The corn bread was muffin style, and very good, moist, fresh and just right. The price point is what I would expect, approximately 30.00 for a meal for 2. BBQ is not a cheap take out or a sit down. But not overpriced either. I did notice reviews mentioned ribs, which were not on the nice handed out clean paper menus. so kind of confusing there, as we would definitely get them at a future visit. Perhaps add this info to the wall board, or menu? Also, would love to try a full BBQ chicken dinner, if offered. A well tended smoker is obvious here as well as the entire restaurant effort. I would love to see a second wall board with offers, specials etc. on the dining room side also, as well as the counter, as customers can take their time to put together their order ideas while other are at the counter. Drinks are cooler kept and the usual, approximately 2.20 a bottle. very cold, did not see straws, but Covid, you know Great place for quality, clean and very tasty BBQ offerings, I didn't see the deli offerings inside, but would try them at a further visit. Nice job folks.

    The name of The Saltbox Smokehouse in Sodus might lead some history buffs to assume that the…read morebusiness is housed in a New England-style house with a sloping back roof. While it is located in a 1800s-era building, the "saltbox" in its name actually refers to its method of curing more than 15 varieties of bacon, one of the specialties of the establishment at 6152 Barclay Road in Sodus, the former home to the Heluva Good! Country Store. The deli/restaurant is a dream fulfilled for the husband-and-wife team of James and Sara Wheaton. The pair enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen and started cooking for large events such as her sister's wedding. With supporters encouraging them to take their cuisine to the next level, they hunted for a place to house a restaurant for more than a year. Finally, the building off Route 104 struck a chord. The eatery serves as both deli and restaurant. Cured and smoked meats, such as bacon, smoked turkey, pastrami and pork loin, can be ordered on their own from the counter. Bacon comes in 15 flavors including apple bourbon, garlic, maple and horseradish. My wife and I recently stopped into the Saltbox on a whim while in the area, after passing the sign for them many times in between trips to Rochester. Small building, and there were already a couple customers there at right around noon on a Saturday. You order at the counter, then sit at one of the 6-8 tables they have in the nicely renovated building, and they bring you your food. They have daily specials, and this days were burnt ends. We both ordered sandwiches - my wife ordered the "On Top of Old Smokey", a sandwich with smoked cheesy meatballs on a sub roll, with a spicy tomato sauce and provolone, served with chips, and I went with the Steakhouse Sandwich, a sandwich filled with brisket, bacon, spicy pickles, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a roll, and I swapped out the chips for a side of bacon mac and cheese for an upcharge. We also got a 1/4 lb of the burnt ends to try. The dining area filled up quickly, but our food was brought pretty quickly. We really enjoyed our sandwiches, especially the meatballs which had a great flavor. The mac and cheese was bland, but I have yet to find good mac and cheese at a restaurant in CNY. But the star were the burnt ends - absolutely bursting with flavor, straight up meat candy. Wife and I could've made a meal just outta those. The price is comparable to other BBQ places. The service was fine - employees weren't exactly enthused to be there. No one was rude or anything, but we almost got the feeling we were being bothersome to them, but could've been an off day. We would definitely go back to try other stuff, or just for them burnt ends.
