I love bento, especially if it is authentic Japanese bento. This spot call their offering “Japanese Healthy Fast Food” and offer bento box, sushi, donburi, and some pastries and other little snacks.

I finally got to visit the store in Midtown on one weekend for lunch. The staff (lovely Japanese female) told me that shortly before we arrived, a large group of people came and bought out most of their bento boxes!!! So, there was not much selections left… And, it seems like their donburi items are offered during weekdays, not on weekends. Double punch there…

We looked through their limited options, and picked up a few things that still looked really great. Since there is no seating in this location, we decided to take them home. The first item was their Pork Cutlet Curry, which comes with a small drink of your choice. We also bought a couple of rice balls and a Chocolate Mochi Doughnut. 

They were all rather simple yet comforting and pretty good flavor. I was super happy I finally got to visit BentOn. I would definitely go back again when I want something quick, comforting, tasty, and Japanese. They are super affordable, and if you get there before they ran out of their offerings, it is pretty enticing and exciting. I wish if this store was close to my office, then I could go there more often… Read my full review of this spot and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

What a great lunch option for Grand Central-area workers! No sushi, but a rotating variety of bento boxes with choices of options; little side salads with toppings you choose, tasty onigiri, and hot udon (which I haven't yet tried). Food at Benton is very fresh and cleverly packaged, making it easy to grab a customized lunch. You can easily get a great lunch for well under $10.

A little cramped and can be slow at lunch as expected, but this place is pretty cute and the food is great for the price. I love the variety of bento boxes and the Japanese snacks and confections they have for sale. Good central location as well.

Cute small Japanese bakery/cafe. Their breads are good and they have lunch boxes during the afternoon. There is only one table but looks like for decoration only. Their coffee is okay, but service can be slow. Usually one or two staffs working there. Lunch boxes are around 6+.
