I never write reviews, Im not phased by things easily, but I've joined up to share my experience with this Japanese takeaway place. I love Japanese food - every week I go out and try different Japanese places, today I tried EKI Bento - and what I got tasted absolutely disgusting. Tasted like some packet made product. So I bought a chicken teriyaki bento box, let's talk about the main products of this bento box. The teriyaki chicken - The rice, overcooked gluggy / soggy - the chicken was flavourless , all I could taste was salt. I was eating this and just couldn't even finish it because it was just so gluggy and salty. The Sushi was plain, it was fresh but it tasted very plain. It's like when you try and make sushi yourself following a basic recipe and it has that homemade taste, then you go to Japanese restaurant and it just has that flavour you love! Well, the sushi that I had from these guys tasted just like the basic plain home made one. Disappointed. The only part of this bento box that I thought was acceptable was the salad and the fried elements. I appreciated the touch of orange but it was probably the only part of the dish I liked (it was a nice sweet orange). Im disappointed by this place and I will never return back.

The veggie tempura was very nice and they were generous with their amount of tempura sauce given. The takoyaki was well cooked, crispy on outside and soft on the inside! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. only downfall is that the interior of the actual restaurant isn’t that nice and inviting but for a quick bite or some takeaway it’s perfect!
