Ordered a premium chirashi and wagyu uni special for Father's Day dinner. Excellent customer service and response time and included complimentary home delivery! Would order again. Food was delicious and beautifully presented.

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 heard they have a July pop-up in in the NorCal area. Omg yesss we need!! Staff were super nice! So worth it :)

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.

The fish was incredibly fresh. I ordered a bento box for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day, and he absolutely loved it. Pickup communication was super easy and smooth as well. Definitely a great experience!

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.

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

All I have to say is WOW! Amazing selection of fish (and wagyu) in our bento boxes. We ordered the Kyoto Style Temari Sushi and The Tuna Festival. The tuna was so fresh and our sushi was incredible. We will definitely be ordering again!

PREMIUM BENTO BOXES W/ TUNA AND SALMON After coming back from Japan, I've been on the hunt to find sushi that matches up to that standard and I FOUND IT!

(equivalent in to 20-21 pcs of sushi) I was able to order easily for delivery and arrived super fresh!! I highly recommend this spot for your next bento craving, picnic, lunch, etc!! suuch high quality! they get their bluefin shipped from japan and age their fish! @wafubento.socal does pickup and delivery in oc + occasional pop ups in san diego! highly recommend this spot~

100/10 - would (and will) order again! The Wagyu uni was incredibly decadent, and better than the ones I have at pricier omakases. The premium chirashi was beautiful and had wonderful visuals and textures. The best take out!

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!

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 :)
