There's this person in our office who loves eating here. She goes to pick up and brings back to eat at her desk. So one day, she extended this offer to our office section. Not knowing what to order, we all just took a chance.What did we think?Well, the really funny thing is whatever we ordered that first time has been the same exact thing we have ordered ever since.Isn't that just so amazing? Hahaha :DOne of us likes to order the calamari with three multigrain musubis and the rest of us usually order the butterfish with multigrain rice. The butterfish is so delectable!! Sometimes my work friend orders the chicken bento.What makes these bentos fun to eat for me is not just the flavor and taste but bc of the added yummy tsukemono and food items. For instance, we get a piece of fried chicken, tamago egg (tamagoyaki aka Japanese egg omelette), variety of tsukemono that come with our butterfish bento. And most importantly, all taste really great!If you want a substantial meal with a variety of tastes and you happen to be in the older Kapolei area (by the Kapolei Zippy's and Consolidated Theaters down the long street from Costco Kapolei), this is a great place for a satisfying meal. Now, if you're a guy who tends to eat more, you might need to order a little more for yourself, but for us women, the one bento might be sufficient.

Cute little takeout place serving delicious Japanese food, including bento boxes and donburi bowls. We got a grilled fish bento box, spicy tuna roll, crunchy shrimp roll and salmon onigiri. All were very delicious. I like that they make some of the onigiri with whole grain rice. And everything is very reasonably priced. Highly recommend, esp if you're looking to have a picnic lunch.

Placed an online order. I'm very pleased with the salmon and wakame onigiri. Staff were friendly and efficient. Will be back!

It is located next to kapolei safeway, in the corner, with lots of parking. There is no bathroom inside. Customer service is great. If you have questions about what is in the food, they will happily let you know. They have a variety of hot bentos (garlic chicken, baked salmon, miso fish), fried bentos, sushi bentos, and some desserts. Very affordable and good! My family favorites are miso chicken, chicken Don with veggies, musubi bento, mushrooms and jello. I didn't care for the Tofu, it was over cooked a d a bit hard. Garlic chicken doesn't have much flavor.

Freshly made purple rice bentos that come with a bottled water are what they're known for and there are several variety to choose from. There are white rice bentos as well. They also have some third party onigiri available on the side.Service is fast and they have a small indoor seating area if you can't wait to dig in. Parking right out front in the mall lot. Be sure to get a loyalty stamp card if you plan to visit frequently.

It was my first time at this location. I usually go to the one across the street from Pearlridge. Actually, I haven't been to that one in a while also. I remembered that they had everything out sitting in warmers and that I could put whatever I wanted in a box to make my own bento. I was expecting that at this location. However, everything was already prepackaged. I decided on the kalbi and bbq chicken combo bento. It also had white rice, corn and choy sum. It was $11.49 and came with a bottle of water. The whole bento was delicious. Both the chicken and kalbi had great marinade. I needed the sauce for the rice. The cashier was really sweet. She asked if we had military ID for a discount. She also asked if we had a stamp card. I declined as I live in town and they don't have a location there.

I drive to Kapolei from Ewa just for their bentos! Great value, great taste! Wish they had one in Ewa!

Such a lovely place to pick up a quick bite to eat. Various yummy ready-made bentos, sushi, salads. And you get a free bottle of water with each bento!! They have a punch card that can get you a free bento once the card is completed! Convenient location-next to Safeway in the Kapolei shopping center , ample parking, friendly staff. Stop by if you are in the area!??

We went again this week to pick up our order of Shoyu pork bowls for dinner.When compared with last week ones, these are a lot moister bigger pieces and more shoyu (soya) sauce on the rice. Still taste excellent and bacon meat was used, it melts in your mouth.If you don't like fatty cuts of meat...you won't enjoy this bowl. I didn't forget to take a picture this time:-)
Lots of great varieties of bentos, musubis, salads, and side dishes. This is a grab-and-go style shop so it's perfect to stop by and then make your way to the beach or park. There are sit down tables but why sit inside when you can enjoy the outdoors!Everything is priced reasonably for the quality and would 10/10 highly recommend!

As we entered we were greeted and the bentos were organized with labels and price. This was our first time going and we found everything we wanted to try. You can also order food off their menu. Each bento comes with water bottle. I thought that was a very nice gesture. There was chairs and about 4 tables to eat inside the store.

Got 2 dozens of spam musubi from Kapolei location for my son's school fundraising as part of our donation. Called to order. It was ready when I picked it up 3 hours as agreed per phone conversation. Saved me a lot of time. Easy and smooth tatnsaction and good customer service. I tastes the musubi and it was onolicious! Will be ordering again next Saturday for my daughter team. Thank you.
