This food is AMAZING! We have ordered from here many many times and not once has it fail its quality. The food is fresh of course but you can taste the quality of each ingredient. My favorite is their Hokkaido. You can also customizes it however you've like, the layout, the ingredients, the different kind of fish etc. And they are so helpful, one time my husbands doesn't know the name of the kind of fish that he likes, Wafu provide several for him to taste and even explain it to me what each kind of fish it's called when I send them the picture Food 100, service 100! read more

These are the prettiest bentos, truly stunning! Wafu Bento operates via pre-orders through their Instagram and website (currently under construction), and are available for pick up and delivery in OC, LA, and San Diego. They offer a variety of different bentos depending on availability and seasonality of ingredients, so the menu is frequently changing. Bentos range from Chirashi, to Temari Sushi, to Temaki, and more at a variety of price points. No matter what you get, it will be gorgeous--the attention to detail is impeccable! Everything is laid out beautifully. Ingredients are flown in from Japan, and everything tasted fresh.

Wow, it's sushi love at first bite!! It's just as good as it looks! I've been eyeing it on insta & was so freaking excited to finally try. The premium bento box was beautifully crafted with lots of attention to detail. They do a variety of boxes so be sure to check out their website for more offerings. This premium bento box had tamago, Japanese bluefin, chutoro, Fuji salmon, & tai. It was topped with seared kinmedai, kurodai and homemade ikura, Japanese bafun uni, chives, shiso, and nishiki goma. So many quality ingredients that you can definitely taste. Packaging is so nice and delivered with care. They are based on Costa Mesa but deliver to San Diego every week.

I finally tried Wafu's premium bento! It's so amazing! Impressive! I have seen them around on Instagram for a while. They are a showstopper, and they tasted as great as they look! Their premium bentos are made by Japanese Michelin chef, elegantly presented with premium fish from Japan and garnished with gold flakes. They are just another level of bento. Their fish was so fresh. I spotted uni (sea urchin), ikura (salmon roe), tai (red snapper), gindara (black cod), salmon tuna, crab, and squid in the Premium Chirashi Bento. They used all the great stuff along with lotus root, egg slices, sliced cucumber, shiso leaf, and shiso flowers. I loved everything inside the bento, and everything went so well together. Ikura is one of my favorites, and their ikura is specially marinated. It's so addicting that once you started eating the bento, you can't stop. I also had their Wagyu Uni Bento - WOW. Their wagyu was fatty and perfectly cooked twice and marinated in red wine sauce for 4 days. It's sweet, and the slices and size were perfect. Wagyu together with uni and ikura... I was in heaven! I would recommend enjoying their bento the same day for the freshest experience. (It won't taste the same overnight!) They offer multiple locations across LA/ SoCal for pickup. You pre-order their bento in advance via their website or Instagram DM. I picked up mine in West LA. They are very responsive in communication via Instagram DM. I love their bentos, and I will definitely order from them again! It's perfect for special occasions too. read more

I ordered two items from this place to celebrate my husband's birthday. They were very responsive via Instagram and placing/paying for the order was easy. I think you do have to over-communicate though -- I didn't receive any information on the day of on where to pick up the items. So that was a little confusing. There ended up being a mishap with their kitchen, so I could only pick up the Wagyu and Uni Box on the day of. They were very apologetic and kind with rescheduling for my second order though. Wagyu and Uni Box ($160) - I loved how the tamago was so finely shredded. It added such a nice touch to everything. This was a real treat! Tuna Festival ($120) - This box included an aged tuna. The tuna did have almost a sour flavor, not super bad, but it was not the usual tuna we were used to. It tasted like great quality. Definitely an acquired taste! Everything was so beautifully crafted and packed. Definitely a great place to order from if you're looking to celebrate an occasion or just treat yourself. read more

Out of all the fish in the sea, @wafubento.socal is definitely the one for me! As someone who's been looking for high quality, premium Japanese bento boxes, I was SOY impressed with Wafu Bento and the exquisite quality of their menu offerings, which are prepared by a master sushi chef using fish that is freshly flown in from Japan! I ordered their Premium Wagyu Uni Bento Box ($170) and Premium Bento Box ($190), and I was impressed with not only the beautiful presentation, but also the thoughtful packaging, delicate culinary preparation, and the freshness of all their Wagyu and seafood ingredients. Personally, I preferred the Wagyu box and would probably order the hokkaido special next time, just because of my personal preferences for the ingredients in the bentos. I ordered these via their IG/website, and the business was so communicative about the status of the order and delivery (you can also pickup if that's more convenient for you). Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for premium, authentic Japanese bento boxes of the utmost quality! Featured here: premium wagyu uni bento box premium bento bo read more

These bentos were AMAZING! First of, ordering was very simple. I ordered through IG direct messaging. The person assisting me was helpful since it was my first time ordering. They even added I can customize my bento if I wanted to. I'll consider it next time I order. They text you as well and they are quick to respond. I ordered the Premium Bento and Aburi Bento. I asked to remove the shrimp oboro and substitute with Hokkaido scallops on the Aburi Bento and they did it with no extra cost. You can taste the quality of the fish. The uni is so sweet and made me craving for more!! The tamago strips under the bed of fish was a nice touch. The bentos were beautifully presented. The pick up was quick and easy. They texted me the approx time the driver was going to arrive at this pick up spot. The man dropping off my bentos was very nice. I'll definitely be ordering again :) read more

It pains me to leave this review but I was so disappointed with my experience that I didn't even get to actually try the food. Placed an order on 11/14 asking to do a 11/19 pickup. Wanted to order their saba no sushi, thick beef tongue, and Hokkaido special bento. I was told the saba wouldn't be ready for a few days which kinda confused me at first, but I made sure to clarify with the team member that I was scheduling for a later pickup date and asked if it'd be ready by 11/19. I think they thought I wanted a next day pickup because after clarifying they said yes. I asked if I could order in advance, which they said yes to. Overall experience of placing the order was totally fine, in fact they answered promptly which I did appreciate. After placing the order I was asked for my phone number, pickup time and date. I gave the info and they told me they would text me the address. Fast forward to my pickup day...I still hadn't received any text so I messaged them back to check in. They promptly replied and said they'd check on my order. This is where it goes south... they checked me order and asked me if I could actually pick it up the next day - the day AFTER my scheduled pickup date. Their reasoning was because they needed to keep the saba in the fridge/freezer another day to ensure the parasites were killed and were waiting for the beef tongue shipment that same day. I was really shocked and confused because I had ordered in advance and was told it'd be ready by my scheduled date/time. Honestly I was hoping this wouldn't of happened because I saw another review stating they also had communication issues. But guess I got unlucky that day. They were apologetic but I asked to just cancel my order because this was suppose to be a birthday meal. They offered to give the Saba or beef tongue for free if I changed the pickup date but I didn't want any freebie - I wanted transparency. I would've been okay with the delay had they told me in advance, but they never once communicated this to me that it wouldn't be ready by my pickup date until I reached out to them. If I hadn't reached out morning of, I don't really know when they would've told me honestly. I was so excited to try this place out and to support a local small business, but after this experience I'm very discouraged to try and order again. Even though their team is small, I think communicating these types of things is very important to the customer. I hope they can improve this over time. read more

Wow, this place is so delicious and worth every penny. The presentation and the taste blew my mind away. I been waiting to try this and I'm so glad to say it was worth the wait. The freshest fish and the amount you get it is worth the price tag. Seeing this again makes me want to order another one ASAP. The service was friendly by the DM you go through on IG and the way he lets you know he is on the way makes it pleasant and worth it. The person is so friendly and generous with the food there. I am so glad I got to experience this. Highly recommend! read more

I recently ordered the Original Chirashi Bento from Wafu, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. We preordered the night before, and I appreciated how smooth and efficient the process was. We received a text message confirmation immediately, which gave us peace of mind about our order. When we picked it up the next day at noon, everything was ready right on time. The bento itself was absolutely worth the $70. The presentation was stunning, and the freshness and quality of the fish were top-notch. Each bite was delicious, with a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The variety in the chirashi bento made it feel special, and you could tell that a lot of care went into preparing every detail. If you're looking for a premium sushi experience that's convenient and beautifully done, Wafu is the place to go. I will definitely be ordering again if I'm ever in the area.

This was the BEST sushi that I've had in a really long time. So, I saw their page on Instagram and i was initially sketched out about ordering from them. They're not a restaurant. It's a Chef Hiro making food and then enlisting a driver, either a random one off doordash or a hired specific driver utilizing doordash account, to bring the food to you. Since I paid via zelle, I felt like I was taking a huge risk. I read the negative review so I was on them about getting a message about pick up. They're less business minded and more food minded. I had to remind them to give me the address pick up as I had not received anything. They're located on the border of newport and Costa mesa. Unfortunately they had to do a delivery to me due to some logistics. They also said they would upgrade me but I don't know what that means. But I have to say-- The rice was perfect. The fish was PERFECTLY made. Perfect temperature. Absolutely delicious. A great ratio of fish to rice. One of my friends from Japan marveled over the picture. He is not easily impressed and was very impressed. I do consider his taste buds to the highest order when it comes down to Japanese food. I will be back. read more

This is not your ordinary bento box, it's a fine dining omakase experience beautifully presented in a box that you can enjoy in the comfort of your home. Every piece was a work of art, featuring premium seafood flown in directly from Japan. From sweet Hokkaido scallops and rich hairy crab to luxurious bafun uni, buttery nodoguro, and plump botan ebi, every bite was exquisite. My family's sushi cravings were completely satisfied. We also ordered the Gyutan and Anago rice, both bursting with authentic flavor and instantly transporting us back to Japan. The customer service was equally outstanding, so warm, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. Once you try it, you'll understand why people keep coming back. These bentos are pure happiness, beautifully prepared, thoughtfully curated, and absolutely delicious. read more

I just want to thank Hiro for his great communication during the whole process from ordering to picking up. Everything went smooth. I had the wagyu & uni and the tuna festival bentos. Both were amazing but if I had to choose, that Wagyu and Uni combo was just way too good. The Wagyu was cooked and seasoned well and just paired well with uni. Can't wait to try the beef tongue and other offerings. Thank you again! read more

In response to the owner: This was my fourth time ordering from you. In the past, the driver was always late, (2 times were uber drivers and 1 time I picked up at the Buddhist Temple btw) which is why I decided to pick up the order myself this time, hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, no one reached out to me until I had already arrived at the pickup point in Costa Mesa at 11:30am. It would be nice you could reached out when that happened. I was questioning the re-delivery timeframe while the bentos were stuck in Long Beach, (still why he was still stuck in Long Beach at 11:30??? ) and how the food had been stored in over 90 degree weather. Re-making the order was never offered in the chat, nor was the delivery time confirmed. I ultimately cancelled the order after the birthday guest told me not to wait due to their limited lunchtime. I called to confirm the cancellation, and while they offered me one complimentary meal, I politely declined--not out of harshness, but because of the ongoing poor communication I've experienced in the past. The quality of the bento boxes has also been inconsistent. On my third visit, I received the worst one yet. Someone reached out on IG and I told them the quality was not as good as before and the fish was sliced super thin. He said sorry and that's it. I was willing to give this place one more chance, especially for this special birthday celebration. The guy on IG chat said they will process the refund and he sent the information to his accounting department. 5 days has been gone, I haven't received any refund or anyone from accounting is reaching out. ------------------------- Drove an hour from LA. When I arrived at the pickup point at the scheduled time, I waited--only to be told that they could not deliver the food at all. No prior call, no message, nothing. I stood there wondering what was going on, wasting precious time on what was supposed to be a happy occasion. read more

I love sushi, especially fresh sushi. I saw on their Instagram page there was a special going on for pick-up orders in San Diego. I got the Kyoto Style Temari Sushi box. I wasn't a fan of the sauce it came with. Luckily, I had a bottle of Kikoman soy sauce, at home, and enjoyed it better with that. If they were to come back to do pick-up orders again, I would try their other boxes. Price point is a bit steep, and I honestly have had fresher sushi for a fraction of the price. However, the quality was still pretty decent. read more

Wafu Bento - Original chirashi bento - Japanese Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've ordered from Wafu three times and each time was met with great service and delicious, high quality food. The first time, I ordered through their website and placed the order about a week in advance. They called me within a day or two to confirm my order and the date and time of pickup. On the day of pickup, I received a message from Joseph and we coordinated the pickup in Costa Mesa as I was in the area. I got the premium bento box and it was sooooo fresh. I really love uni so that was the main reason I got this box over their regular one. I love sushi but absolutely hate anything that smells fishy, and Wafu did not disappoint. The uni was really buttery and all the fish were soft and it really set the tone for my experience with their establishment. The second time, I messaged them through their IG and got their thick cut beef tongue and chirashi box, and again my point of contact was Joseph via text. They had an issue with their beef tongue and we arranged a separate day to pick that box up, so instead I was given double the amount of chirashi to enjoy with my friends on the first day of pickup. It was a more than generous compromise for the price I had paid as I was still going to get the beef tongue, just at a later time. This was my friends' first time, and they absolutely loved the chirashi box. I find the honesty of the staff really refreshing and comforting as you can tell they really care about the quality of the food they put out, and will always be more than generous with compromises when one of their items cannot be made to the standard of care they set for themselves. When it came time for the pickup of the beef tongue, I was actually in 626 and not in Costa Mesa and had asked if I could change the pickup location the day of and they were more than happy to accommodate. It was Joseph's day off so I was given Hiro's contact information. We met up and he was even sweet enough to give us some cake rolls from a collaboration they were doing with another small business in San Diego. I can't tell you which one I ended up liking more. The beef had this nice charcoaled flavor from their grilling method and the cake was honestly was so soft but not overly sweet. My third time, I contacted them again through IG when I saw them introduce wagyu to the menu, and with my last two experiences being so amazing, I ended up ordering two boxes. I don't know the official names of these boxes, but one of them had wagyu, uni, and ikura. The other had small wagyu rolls and nigiri. If there's anything I love more than uni, it's wagyu, and it was sososo soft and tender. My favorite was definitely the nigiri as I could really taste the wagyu, but both were very filling and were split between four people to finish. TLDR: I am a homebody that loves to eat good quality food and finding a place where I can get high end quality food without all the bells and whistles of sitting down at a restaurant and making reservations has been why I'm such a frequent customer of Wafu. Super responsive and generous staff and unbelievable quality fish and meat!! read more

I ordered a Kyoto style temari sushi ($120) and premium traditional bento box ($190) to pick up from Alhambra 2/12/24. The communication during the whole ordering process was poor from the beginning. As it approached my pick up time, I was left with no instructions where to go and if my order was on time. Text messages were not responded to so I had to call multiple times to talk to a member of Wafu Bento. Since it was past my pick up time, Wafu Bento offered to deliver my two boxes to my house. When the uber delivery driver arrived, he only had one box for me - the Kyoto style temari sushi. After talking with Wafu Bento, the uber driver had mistakenly given away my premium traditional bento box to a different customer. To make things right, Wafu Bento offered to give me a complimentary bento box the following week, in addition to the premium traditional bento box that I was owed. I accepted the offer and awaited until next Monday 2/19/24. Given that this was the first day of full operations, I was willing to overlook the bad experience. Sunday came around and there was no set time for delivery or any communication from Wafu Bento regarding my bento boxes for Monday. Did they forget about me? I waited until Monday morning 11:16am to text Wafu Bento and didn't receive response for over 2 hours. What irritated me more was that food influencers were receiving their orders throughout the day and the common person like me couldn't even get my first order from last week. I decided to call them at 1:45pm and they had forgotten about me. They offered me my original premium traditional bento box and another one free of charge. I requested to have two of the premium traditional bento boxes, to which they agreed. I texted them my address and requested a delivery time of 6pm. Communication was poor again as there was no confirmation that my requested was received. Even a simple text message "okay" would have sufficed, but there was no response for another 2 hours. I had to call them again and then they finally confirmed that my two boxes would be delivered by 630pm latest. Finally, my two boxes arrived around 630pm. Unfortunately, they did not give me two premium traditional bento boxes as we had agreed upon. They gave me a Kyoto style Temari sushi and premium traditional bento box. I was disappointed with the Kyoto style sushi because for $120, the selection included a few cheaper items: tamago, normal shrimp, and atlantic surf clam. Last week's Kyoto style sushi box had a better selection of fish and was closer to the price point that was being charged. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the ball shape densely packed and dry rice so that's why I opted out of receiving the kyoto style temari sushi again. As for the premium traditional bento box, within the first few bites I found a pin bone. I had to carefully eat the chirashi and ended up finding a total of 3 pin bones in the snapper pieces. I appreciated the pieces of pickled radish in the chirashi, which prevented bites from being too repetitive. The bento box was plated nicely. In terms of value, I can't recommend this over a brick and mortar establishment. When I saw pictures/videos of other premium boxes in social media, they all had 3 mounds of uni but I only had two. All the instagram posts from their account shows the Kyoto style temari sushi without cheaper items such as tamago/atlantic surf clam/normal shrimp so I felt a little cheated there. The delivery and ability to eat in your own home is nice and convenient. However, I had a bad experience and given the value received, I will not be trying again until Wafu Bento improves based on feedback and has more experience. read more

One of the best bento boxes I've had. These bento boxes will compare with some of the highly rated omakases you'll find in Los Angeles . I got their premium box and their Kyoto style temari sushi. I noticed that the fish on there changes slightly from week to week, which I assume is because they get their fish fresh from Japan 3 times a week. So this actually makes the bentos super fresh. Everything from the texture of the fish to the smell and taste was exquisite. Especially the uni, it is so fresh it will start to melt just from the touch of a spoon. And it smelled amazing too. None of the fishy smell from second grade uni. Paired with the tuna, yellowtail, and ikura on top of professionally cooked sushi rice, the premium box was sensational. And both the boxes was of super hearty proportions. We shared the boxes between three adults and 1 child and we were all stuffed. And no, we didn't get full from just the rice (although it was so good we ate every last grain). The ratio between fish and rice was very generous with balanced flavors. I'd love to eventually try their other boxes too and would recommend it to anyone looking for a premium sushi experience without leaving the comforts of your home. read more

The pickup was at a Japanese temple, which contributed to the vibes and authenticity of the whole experience. Pictures cannot capture how astonishing and aesthetically pleasing the food looked. The portion was generous and the rice to fish ratio was heavily fish skewed (more fish than rice)! The combination of fish worked very well together. Overall, the food and service, was very well worth the price! Pictured are the Chirashi and Premium Boxes. read more
