Ugh, I have never tasted something so terrible in my life. The gyudon tasted like teriyaki beef sauce. The beef was stringy and extremely fatty. Theoyakodon was really mushy, but the chicken to rice ratio was really generous. The katsudon was actually pretty decent, exceptthe pickles were a bit excessive. I do not recommend this place for Japanese bento.

Many of the vegetables used in the dishes are grown directly from the owner's farm.

Everyone loved the salmon, chicken (kara-age) and beef (yakiniku) bento lunches. Thank you Tetsuko.Everything was prepared perfectly and absolutely delicious!

Today, we ordered the following for family style take out dinner: Hamburger Bento Comes with steamed rice, cooked veggies japanese style which includestaro, carrots, lotus, shitake mushroom, bamboo. seaweed. potato salad. and egg japanese style sweet rolled omelet. Thehamburger is grilled and smells just like a summer backyard barbecue. Love having this with katsu sauce. mmmmm. Fried FishBento same as above but with fried fish. 3 nice pieces. Also includes tarter sauce. It's so crunchy but gentle to yourupper palate. Delish. Karaage 15 pieces of fried chicken pieces. Love! I like dipping mine in katsu sauce. Adds justenough umami. Sides: Cooked Veggies cannot get enough of this so need more! Kinpira braised burdock root (gobo, injapanese) It goes very well with some rice. Fried Shishito Peppers pair this with some biiru (beer, in japanese) forpre dinner happy hour. This is like playing Shishito Roulette. You cannot tell which pepper is HOT! Service is nice andpolite. Timing is perfect. I ordered online for after 6:15 pick up. I got there just before that and had to wait just acouple minutes for one more dish. Food was still nice and warm when I got home. Wear your masks please. We all need to do ourpart and keep these businesses safe and running. Remember we need Bento as much as Bento needs us. Keep safe and itadakimasu!
