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✌🏽
5th VEGETARIAN BENTO
Fukuya, Honolulu
An office luncheon special, catered for plant based. Plain musubi, potato croquette, veggie tempura, and stewed burdockroot. Okazuya classics.
JUST OK
6th 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
7th 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!
