I was in the downtown area for a short stay and found this place nearby to my hotel….tried their bento box meal with rice pork edammame and some juicy sauce which was just so hearty and fresh..Service was quick and food. Great go to place when you’re around downtown.

Was a blessing to find a restaurant serving poke on the 16th Street Mall. Friendly chef, made lunch fast, and good value.

We loved Obento when we were in downtown Denver for a long weekend. Fresh, fast service and everything was delicious. You order at the counter, which we really like. The miso soup was some of the best we've had, along with the strawberry slush boba and the 16th street roll was so good. Pictured is the philly with avo. We'll be back!

Obento is a small and cozy store I had seen a few times during previous visits downtown. I'm very happy I finally decided to pay it a visit! The boba is delicious, with the tapioca pearls being perfectly chewy, and the milk tea being sweet but not overpoweringly so. I also got a yellowtail roll and a rainbow roll, both of which were delicious.

The sushi and rice bowls at this restaurant are delicious and fresh, with a very appealing presentation. The location may be in a simple strip mall with limited seating, but the food is top-notch.
