Got there at noon and did not get our food until 50 minutes later. We had to go find a server to get service. We ordered a bento box and 2 big tuna rolls. The rolls were unimpressive as was the California roll in the...bento box. The prices were reasonable and the decor of the restaurant was pretty.More

The Bento Box is always a delicious adventure into an incredible culinary world. Chef Lee could not have been more gracious to us for our anniversary dinner. Everything we ordered was “off the charts” delicious. The calamari appetizer is the best in town. The sushi...was fresh and outstanding. Our server, Asia, is a real credit to this restaurant. She was spot on with excellent service, without being overbearing. I highly recommend The Bento Box for a special dinner that will impress.More

We occasionally visit Wilmington and always dine here. Chef Lee makes amazing sushi dishes. Presented in an attractive and appealing way, they are just as delicious to eat. Delicious and colorful. Love the Port City and Miami Vice rolls. Vietnamese duck spring rolls excellent. Everything...is great! You can eat at the bar or a table. Best to book, it gets busy. See you next visit Chef Lee! :0)More

We have eaten here multiple times and love this place. It is out by Mayfaire and everything on the menu has been great. Probably a good idea to have a reservation. If the weather is nice, get the outside seating. It's like a Japanese garden....The staff is great. We seem to always get something extra with our meals.More

Hands down, possibly the best Sushi experience in Wilmington (we drive from Southport for it 'cause Southport's one and only Sushi restaurant gets a strong.... 2+ on a 1-10 scale). The food is fresh, fresh, fresh! The portions good as well and the pricing is...equally fair and reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. The owner, Chef Lee is hands on there making sure customers are well taken care of. Also of interesting note, there are ee's there who have worked for Chef Lee for 12+ years. That speaks VOLUMES as that's quite rare in the restaurant and food service industry!More

We tried calling for a reservation a douzen times. Despite this we decided to give it a try. We were seated right under a lowly positioned loud sports screen - 4 ft in front and just above the head of my friends. The beer tasted...vile. The bottle was more than a year past its expiration date. The warm sake was mild and high quality. The tray of 8 sushi dishes was tasty, though when we heard that the crab leg was changed to the fish imitation kind, we thought that should have been reflected in a lower price. I will try a different sushi place next time.More

My wife and I took two of our good friends out to dinner yesterday and, as always, had an excellent experience. We made a reservation for 630 and were seated promptly when we arrived. Our friends ordered sushi and we stuck with a few main...kitchen items. The food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend checking Bento Box out!More

The service was great. I ordered Pad Thai, the quality was fine, but the sauce was something very different from what I expected. Not bad, just not what I like.

When I visited last night there were three or four young ladies at the hostess stand. Most of them were very personable but the one who seemed to be in charge was quite abrupt. I was seated at the sushi bar where I had a...very close view of the sushi being made and I recommend sitting there. The Chef was clearly in charge and was front and center but chatting happily with customers. My waitress was Amanda and you will do well to get her. The Chef made my dinner and was ready quickly and it everything I had hoped it would be. All in all, I recommend the Bento Box as a relaxed place with really fresh sushi, on the table in less than 5 minutes after it is made. Prices, by the way, are reasonable, especially considering the very tasteful appointments and the freshness of the food. They do make other things besides sushi. Reservations are a good idea.More

The best food I have had in a while. I was dining alone on a business trip and I was given all the attention of a large group. I never had Sake before, but the recommendations were spot on. They were overwhelmed due to staffing...shortages (not their fault due to COVID) but still made the experience wonderful. Kao soy chicken was the best on the menu in terms of flavor. I will definitely be back!More

Disappointing all around. We went to bento box after hearing for three years how wonderful it was. The worst sushi we had in the area by far! We ordered the most requested sushi rolls and there was hardly any fish in side all three rolls....If I had to measure the width of fish given it would be close in size the a pencil head. In addition it was not a relaxing ambiance with both the manager and server acting manic about diners wearing their masks while people standing at the bar having cocktails and talking were not obligated. Totally over rated. We wont every be back or recommend.More

This is our first visit to the Bento Box, for a curside pick-up dinner. We ordered the Dim Sum plate (8 for $23) and asked the chef to give up $70 worth of sushi -- we like traditional sushi, no cream cheese or California rolls....What arrived was exactly on time and just excellent. The Dim Sum was the best we've had in Wilmington (which admittedly is not saying much; but they were really good, and came with three sauces for dipping, a very hot mustard sauce, a very hot sirrachi, and a mild (and a touch sweet?) sesame sauce. With or without the sauces, they were delicious. The sushi was as usual just excellent. Two Toro Tunas (@ $10 each) stole the show, but the others -- salmon, salmon roe, normal tuna, normal salmon, and three other fish whose names I did not recognize but whose taste and texture were great -- were very very good. I have before recommended the Bento Box as the best Sushi in town. It is now the best curb side sushi in town.More
