I have been eagerly anticipating a visit to The Bento Box for some time. It did not disappoint and lived up to all expectations!
Asian fusion food can be hit or miss, long and aimless menus with too many combinations and a dilution of quality. The Bento Box runs around 4 to 5 entrees each night, with the emphasis on quality of choice and not quantity.
My wife and I started with the spicy, tempura battered tuna roll, which was great! My wife is not a keen sushi eater but this dish was an excellent example of the style that she could really enjoy.
For entrees we had the Jidori Chicken and the Singapore Noodles. Both were fantastic, well portioned and utterly satisfying. The Jidori Chicken came in a bento box, which was the star of the show, The rice, corn, dinner salad and chili jam all complemented the curry well. The curry itself was exceptional, light in lime and cream but big on rich flavor. The noodles too were fantastic, seasoned perfectly, with the BBQ pork and shrimp plentiful.
The dining room is small but we got there in the last hour of service and luckily got a table straight away. If you like Asian food in any form then The Bento Box is a must visit. It is a great BYO and we will be here again soon, possibly even for take out. Service, food and price all could not be beaten.
