Went to @marvistafarmersmarket today and took home a short rib bento and a combo chicken and beef (2 skewers of each) from @soysaucebento I liked the chicken better than the beef skewers because the end pieces were a bit dry on the beef. The short rib had great sauce and was tender. I loved the flavors, and the very efficient 2 person team with Ellie in front and doing prep while the grill master in the back worked the fire was the epitome of teamwork read more

Always service with a small and the best tasting specialty yakitori style chicken, beef and tenderloins! The aroma alone is to die for...!!

This is Chamorro island style BBQ sticks that will have you DREAMING about it for weeks on end. I know from experience! Soy Sauce Bento is a family-owned food stand that pops up all around the LA and Valley areas. They serve yakitori chicken and beef, which is served on a skewer and cooked over charcoal. The marinade they use is so flavorful and the meat is cooked tender. You don't have to fight , pulling the meat off the bone. It is fully cooked and but practically melts in your mouth. I tried getting BBQ sticks from other places and I get disappointed. For now, I will keep my eye open on when Soy Sauce Bento pops up. Oh and the short rib! Sooo good. they remove the bone for you. It may be a bit pricey but trust me, you are paying for the quality, flavor and the technique. So well worth the price for "street" food. read more

Soy Sauce Bento - Beef and chicken combo with a scoop of rice and spring mix with miso salad dressing - Food Stands Near Me

We have been enjoying their delicious bentos as loyal customers of their Culver City Farmers Market booth for several years now. Very warm, efficient and thoughtful service and delicious, fresh meals. They use binchotan charcoal! If you know, you know it is a choice that quietly shows how dedicated to quality they are which you can see throughout their process. Love you guys! read more

So delicious. Chicken teriyaki when it's done right is one of my favorite meals, and this is quite right. Stoked they popped up at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. Owner so sweet and working hard. The meat was perfection, grilled perfectly with a wonderful smokey soy sauce flavor. Excited to try the beef options next time. Loved it. read more

Tasty chicken skewers. Very small for how expensive it was however, plus they use thigh dark meat. More like a $17 snack. Doubt I would try again for the price. read more

This place is REALLY GOOD! I'm not going to lie, I originally was a little skeptical when I first ordered. The menu is super simple; beef or chicken skewers, with rice and a shredded cabbage salad with house dressing. I got three beef skewers - I assume the same is for chicken, but I'm not sure. When the cashier (she was super nice!) told me that it came with three skewers I was a little skeptical that it may not be enough food. I was definitely wrong! The beef skewers are $12 and the chicken is $10. The portion was actually perfect for me (and I like to eat a lot). You could probably save half for two smaller meals if you don't like to gorge yourself as much as I do. So price to quantity ratio, 5 stars for sure. Now the actual beef was awesome! The skewers were perfectly cooked and the marinade was done flawlessly. It reminded me of a combo between Korean BBQ and Hawaiian BBQ - definitely in the same tier as a high quality restaurant of either cuisine. The rice was cooked very well and the cabbage was shredded super thin, which I liked. The house dressing was insane! It was not what expected and I mean that in the best way possible. It was like a creamy, garlicky sauce that blended with the flavors of the meat perfectly. A perfect ratio bite of rice, salad w/ dressing, and meat was transcendent. I'm not sure if they have actual soy sauce, but I didn't get any (I forgot to ask). I ended up just grabbing a bottle from Mitsuwa since I needed more anyways. The only qualm I have is a lack of vegetarian options. While I enjoy meat, my partner does not partake. We normally eat together, so I probably won't be returning as often as I'd like. They should add a tofu skewer option! It's just as easy, if not easier, than the other skewers and will open their target market massively (especially in LA!). And maybe throw in a couple packets of soy sauce per the name :) All around, 5 stars for food, service, and price. Add a veggie option and I will be returning often! read more

Soy Sauce Bento - Beef Skewers - Food Stands Near Me

Genuinely delicious. Was pleasantly incredibly taken aback. Flavors, quality, and cooking method prioritized so well. So impressed by this place. And late night?! Amazing food!!! read more

I'm addicted to Soy Sauce Bento. For meat and Yakitori lovers, this place won't disappoint. You can't go wrong with any of their meat offerings, from the Beef and Chicken listed on the menu, to the secret menu items that vary from week to week (Short Rib, Tenderloin, and my favorite--Ribeye Cap AKA Picañha). It's all charred to perfection on a bed of charcoal, and each bento comes with rice, refreshing cabbage salad, and this dressing that's basically crack. Japanese food is simplicity at its finest this is exactly that. They are located on the row of street food on Centinela and Venice Blvd, in front of Mitsuwa Market. They're usually there Fri-Sun from 7-10 PM. It's been such a pleasure getting to know the owner, Jordan, and his family who lovingly put these bentos together every week. You can tell they just LOVE FOOD, and won't cut any corners to deliver quality meals. Words and pictures can hardly describe the quality and passion that goes into their food. Been here 6 times in 5 weeks, that speaks for itself! read more

We randomly saw a bunch of trucks/food tents set up along the road coming from the Santa Monica pier. There were many options but we chose soy sauce bento. I am so glad we did! The plan was to get back to our hotel and eat (visiting from vegas) but one of the kids had to take a bite and then he gave the rest of us a taste and we ended up pulling over to eat in the car lol it was sooooo good. The chicken and beef were amazing and the sauce.. woowww! I'm def going home to try and recreate all of this lol the father and daughter running it were so sweet and took the time explaining their food and even gave us recommendations for other places to try during our visit. Thank you so much!! Please do the pop up in vegas! We will come see you!! read more
