We got the spicy tuna roll, spicy California, and Philly rolls. I do not like sushi in general but I enjoyed this. The spicy California was my favorite, but my partner likes fish more than I and thought the sauce overpowered its flavor. We also got the chicken katsu, which was crispy with good texture but nothing to write home about. It's a college town restaurant, so the dive bar equivalent to a restaurant. If you are looking for vibes, there's probably somewhere else, but it gets the job done

We enjoyed our visit. The service was fast with many water refills, the food was very fresh and hot. It was a bit on the expensive side with the vegetable fried rice with chicken being almost $17. Everything tasted very good though and it was very well decorated and cozy.

Hot mama roll

Parking is a bear but we found a spot a few blocks away. When we arrived the place was presumably full so they took down our name and asked us to wait outside where it was somewhere around 10 degrees. Said it'd be about 10-15 mins. Seemed like more than 20 mins later we were called in to a table. There were three tables open at this time so disappointing we were left in the cold. The staff are young and distractible as one might expect on a college campus. The food was very tasty. I had bulgogi and it met my expectations though it was a pretty small portion compared to what I'm accustomed to. I appreciate that they brought sides with the bulgogi.

Sunday Morning Roll and Red Devil Roll

Drunken Bento is a very popular sushi spot near campus. It has a small seating area but still enough to fit people in. Their sushi is half off when dining in and I'm not a sushi expert but this was a pretty solid option especially for it being right there next to campus. They also have many other options like different appetizers and some noodle soups as well. The service here was great! I let the waiter know of my allergies and he kept going back and forth from the kitchen asking about ingredients in what I wanted to order which I greatly appreciated. Parking is a pain here tho so beware...there is a lot across the street that takes quarters in the meter which is probably the safest best. I do definitely see myself back here trying one of the noodle soups next!

Sushi Rolls!
Brian S.

I've walked by this place a lot, but had never been in until a friend suggested we give it a try. 5 stars on value. Dine in is at 50% of menu prices, so the tuna roll is only $3.75??? Are you kidding? For a sushi place, the food was brought out very fast, and the spicy lobster roll was maybe my favorite roll I've ever had! $5 cans of beer, some nightly specials, and a fun college campus vibe. This spot is on my list for a quick great value sushi meal.

Huge ginger salad

So my go-to rolls are Yellow Tail, Hot Mama and Bengals. Sometimes I do a Sunday Morning, mostly for others, but I like it too. They have been consistently delicious the last year. The staff has been just as consistent in great customer service for dine-in and carry out.

I had a longer class Friday morning, so by the time I got out it was lunchtime. I decided since I parked so close to Drunken Bento I might as well stop in for a snack to go. This is only my second time here but I remembered a dish that dinner of my friends ordered before and I just had to try it...the Kani Salad. Shredded crab with cucumber, scallions, masago, and tempura flakes tossed in spicy mayo sauce. It is so good with a nice helping of crab, and just the right amount of crunch from the tempura flakes. This will now be my staple when I find my way here. The sushi was great too. I've had a few different rolls and have yet to be disappointed. I placed my to go order and was out the door in about 5 minutes. The service and staff are helpful and friendly, and always engaging with guests through out. It's a cute little spot, definitely worth a try. I also hear the college crowd loves this spot on the late night.

Sunday Morning roll and Yum Yum roll
Liz F.

I had take out from Drunken Bento tonight and I was excited to learn some of their rolls were buy one, get one. The Sunday Morning roll was perfectly spicy with a nice texture while the Yum Yum roll was less spicy with great flavor. I would have liked more ginger, but I forgot to ask, so that's on me!

My friend and I desperately needed food and water after attending the Taylor Swift concert and thank god for iZen's Drunken Bento! We walked in and sat down immediately around 12:30AM. There was nothing open downtown near the stadium late night, which seems like a miss for downtown. But a friend of a friend recommended this establishment because it's open late and near where our Airbnb was. The server was awesome - I loved his energy and conversation. And he was ON TOP of that water game. We ordered gyoza and a roll for each of us. My friend also ordered a ginger salad and said it was the best ginger dressing. The food came out so fast and I devoured it just as fast. I wish we had this place in Indy! The establishment itself is small inside but since we came so late it wasn't too packed. Apparently it's a popular place for the college crowd but since its summer there weren't many college students.

The sushi is always half priced! They are good and great priced. It's on campus so easy to walk to and visit other places near by.

We ordered sushi through DoorDash and it was hard, not fresh, the avocado was brown. We won't be ordering again.

I took a friend here to celebrate her birthday and it was such a nice vibe. It was intimate, the staff was super friendly, the selections of wine was expansive and the charcuterie/ bites menu were very good. I ordered their sauvignon Blanc on their menu - was quite delicious. We had also ordered the pick 4 charcuterie and it came with so much and it was so beautiful. You can see the pictures for yourself! I feel this is such a hidden gem in Mount lookout - people need to come here! They do their best to source their wines from smaller vineyards because the quality is just better where you don't end up with a headache or high blood pressure at the end of the night LOL. High quality stuff here!

Their wine cellar (in the back) has a great selection of curated wines from around the world. We stopped in to pick up a bottle of Pinot Noir, but also ended up taking home a rosé. The staff are well versed in wines and it's a welcome addition to have information and knowledge about the wines. The prices are very reasonable.
