I found my favorite restaurant! The bento presentation and ingredient quality are fabulous with savory flavoring. I will definitely come back here because the price was very reasonable with great food selections.
Great sushi, for out of town guests! Will absolutely come back :)

Great quick lunch today w house salad and delicious hand rolls. Less miso dressing on the salad but the meal hit the spot on this rainy day. About $20 w tip. This restaurant walls are wrapped in dark woods and spaces feel moody but spacious and clean . I'll be coming back.

I tried this place via postmates and was disappointed. The beef teriyaki was bland and chewy with only a drop of teriyaki sauce, meanwhile the salad drowning in watery dressing. The sushi rice on the 2 rolls I got was mushy. The miso soup is good though. I'm not sure why they use lee kum kee soy sauce packets. Maybe the dine in experience is better?

*You need to specifically ask for the lunch menu since it's not offered automatically. The below items I've tried aren't on it though I've been here 4X so far and they are always able to seat me immediately. It's a long and spacious restaurant so I'd never worry there is a wait. The waitress here is very fast and efficient. She even refills your sake cup when she sees it empty. I like that their large sake isn't too hot when it arrives on the table. It's just the right temperature so you can drink it when it arrives. Other restaurants may overheat the sake so it actually burns your hand (this has happened many times at other restaurants). For food, I ordered the beef teriyaki entree that comes with a side salad and miso soup. There were just a few spots on the meat where it was so fatty that I couldn't chew it up enough to swallow, so I spit that part out. It didn't bother me much. The flavor of the beef is really good and the rest of the meat is juicy. The beef here is sooo incredibly tasty! I also enjoyed the nigiris. I didn't see a nigiri combo on the menu so I just chose my own out of their many nigiri choices. I ordered the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, escolar, and their special nigiri w/truffles on top. Unfortunately I forgot which type of fish it is, but it was amazing! I think it's the salmon belly + truffle. I've also tried their 3 bento items. I got the salmon teriyaki, saba shioyaki, and the hamachi sashimi. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone nearby. They have a wide selection of food and variety for any of your Japanese cravings. I was eyeing their treasure box previously which I've also just tried. It's called the Omakase Sashimi ($59.99). I was surprised I was able to finish it actually. It was very fresh and delicious as well as a perfect portion for a light meal but it would be a big portion for someone petite. It has always been a good meal here. 5 stars!

Haha I was so busy chowing down on truly what is peak bento that I forgot to take a picture at the start of the meal! We have tried every bento place and this one has the vibes and the best quality of fish,Katsura and tempura . Also got a side of sashimi that cannot be beat in price and deliciousness HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Amazing spot with kind owners and great selection. Take out is fantastic but so is the dine-in. It's a bit dark but clean, quick service and hospitable staff!

Such a hidden gem in Richmond! Great price for the portions and the taste! My friend and I both got the bento box. I had mine with salmon teriyaki, age dashi tofu, and tempura (1 shrimp and 4 veggies). Everything tasted super fresh. They are $18.95 for 2 items and $22.95 for 3 sides, which is a great deal for the quality you get. The ambiance is casual and homey, and the service is friendly. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

The wonderful thing about Bento Peak is that it's designed beautifully, with traditional seeming place settings, and decorations, with some contemporary additions that enhance the comfort and experience of the diner. This is the second time my wife and I have been and I have not been disappointed in the slightest. We are always greeted immediately. We are sat very quickly, and brought waters with lemon right away. The menus are easy to read and described so succinctly. Please go here if you enjoy delicious Japanese food and amazing ambiance and service. You won't be disappointed!

Very nice and good service, little personal touches.
This place is great! We love that this is a new addition to our neighborhood. The menu has all our Japanese favorites. The sushi and rolls are delicious. It is also beautifully decorated inside.

OMG the Veggie Dragon roll is so good! Unconventional but delicious combo and texture. We also had the miso codfish, which was quite good and a deal as it is served with veggies, salad and rice. Can't wait to try other things.

Ordered the Sunset roll which was a deliciously different roll wrapped in cucumber with fresh tuna, salmon, and yellowtail in ponzu sauce. Yellowtail hand roll was fresh and flavorful. Miso Grilled black cod (special of the day) was also delicious. Ended with green tea and mango mochi :) definitely recommend!!!

We are always scouting for new sushi places with good vegetarian options. Got attracted to the place given their bento spread. Went on a Saturday evening and the place got quite busy by 6.30. We ordered miso soup and couple of different veggie rolls. All good - no complaints but nothing out of the ordinary either. The server was good but seemed the only one and therefore quite busy. Their other options (not veg) on other tables seemed to look and people were enjoying so I am guessing this is more for true sushi vs the vegetarian version of it. Place was small and cute with some unique decor. They also had a segregated private party seating area.
