Review from Obento-Ya

This small little restaurant was definitely something different and good. We snuck in a couple beers on happy hour and ordered a couple appetizers. First we ordered both the Agedashi Tofu and the Kushi Katsu Vegetables. The tofu didn't really taste like anything - I would definitely not order that again and the Kushi Katsu Grilled Vegetables were interesting but definitely nothing special either. At this point I was kind of worried the food seemed blan and didn't have any flavor. We then ordered different Bento Box Combos which included the meat of your choice - we had the chicken, pork, beef, and the salmon. The bento box also came with white steamed rice, spring greens, Japanese potato salad, spicy burdock root saute, a Japanese egg omelet, and miso soup. The salad was fabulous, the potato salad was creamy goodness (we were all hoping to have gotten an extra scoop!), the egg omelet was also very tasty, and the miso soup was good but the shallow spoons made consumption a tad difficult. After becoming pros with our chopsticks all and all we were very pleased with this restaurant. We would recommend getting the Classic Bento Box versus the Combo box and save yourself $4 - maybe get yourself the Asparagus and Bacon roll (we also tried this and I thought it was phenomenal (anything with grilled bacon is always good!)
