REALLY GOOD
1st HEALTHY BENTO
オー! ソザイ バイ クルクル, Honolulu
Authentic Japanese Bento(vs. local-kine). Variety of okazu(sides), all very-lightly seasoned(which I really like) & steamed rice. I believe they use rice imported from Japan. All plant-based but I believe some are seasoned w/Bonite(fish) extract. From top, clock-wise: HIjiki, Zenmai(mountain veggie), Stewed Kabocha pumpkin, Shiraae(tofu & veggie), Japanese potato salad, Kimchi, and steamed multi-grain rice.
PRETTY GOOD
2nd CAJUN SNAPPER BENTO
$5 Bento on da wharf, USA
I have sinned🙏🏽 Plain simple - Out of curiosity, but surprisingly NOT BAD AT ALL for $5. Wish they'd have some veggie items but should not be wiahy-washy talking about the price. AND actually there was a long line, that's self-explanatory.
3rd ALA CARTE BREAKFAST BENTO
New Wave Kitchen, . Honolulu HI 96813
Simple yet satisfying breakfast bento: furikake musubi, fried tofu, inari sushi, and nishime✌🏽
4th ALA CARTE BENTO
St. Louis Delicatessen, Honolulu
My comfort food bento,, nothing fancy or first class, old school grandma made kind of nostalgic goodness✌🏽
JUST OK
5th VEGETARIAN BENTO
Nippon Bento & Catering, Honolulu
Need a bit more of creativity...sure it's vegetable/plant-based but...is it that hard to develop more veggie only okazu items???🤨
NOT FOR ME
6th SESAME SOBA NOODLE AND MOCK SHRIMP
Down to Earth Organic & Natural Kakaako, Honolulu
Meh, the sauce got me again!!! I've no idea as to how anybody would even consume soba noodle with overy sweet sesame paste/sauce like this(ugh🤢). While it really looked delicious, it was a disastor even purchasing it....I'd rather had this with soy sauce...the sauce made this whole dish so unpalatable...ugh, no thanks!
