"I'm very impressed with the takeaway which was just delivered from Bento Asian Food Bar.. For approximately the same as what I would have paid for a pizza and dough balls from Pizza Express, I got a large portion of nice miso soup (which was not too salty), a vegan poke bowl, a vegan sushi set, and a vegan 'sushi sandwich' - plenty of food for two people! Everything looked really appetising, and tasted very fresh.: plenty of texture, and nothing looked or tasted 'tired', which can often happen when you order takeaway sushi. A small point: all the veg were cut very precisely and carefully, which made the food taste more expensive than it was: it shows a respect for the veg they are using. I'll be ordering from them again soon."

"Great staff and tasty food. I am a big fan of tofu curry and always look for good restaurants to serve it. The staff was very friendly and understood my customisation request and fulfilled that without question. I did not have similar great experience at other restaurants. The location is also excellent."

"I’ve been ordering from this place for almost 2 years now. Great quality for the price. £13 for 18 pieces of sushi is a bargain. My partner also loves their gyosas and curry."

"I am so happy that they open new branch at here! Now I can drop to take my fav taro milk tea with egg pudding everyday after work Their food is quite good compare to its price or if it’s not in good condition, you can tell the staff. They will give you the new one. However, the food from my recent visiting was not very good. I took salmon teriyaki from the selves and I just seen that the salmon was a bit dried and hard. It was not like a usual that I have. But the salmon sashimi set is good. I still give them 5* because the staff, drink and food is alway nice so I think it’s unfair if I rate them less than 5* just because one portion of the food at this time was not very good. Try to keep an eyes on packed food (ready to pick from shelves) because if the customers who buy them are not your regular or first visit, they will be upset and tell other people in negative way or give you bad reviews. I understand that this time is difficult for everyone but try to save cost by reduced the quality is not a good solution to solve the problem. Many business slowly die from this reason and I hope you will not be like that. The first brunch I visited you is south bridge and I quite like your style, tea and food so I want to see your business keep going and stay with us forever"

"That’s an amazing place. Food taste really good. I have spent a lot of time in Japan and I can say confidently that the curry is amazing. They have a lot of vegan/vegetarian options and the prices are very affordable"
