HORRIBLE!!! I went in, and the person who took my order made the food without washing his hands. He was rude and nasty. He made my food in less than 2 minutes. The food looked like scraps. The bibimbap had soggy, wilted green stuff, rice, and very little meat, really no meat. I tried it out, and it had a nasty, weird taste. The food was cold and definitely not fresh. I read previous reviews, and they lied! I should have taken a picture before I threw it out. They should really get zero stars!

SO good! Hella food, all delicious and super nice peeps work there. The beef bulgogi bento is a classic. I love that the bento comes with a variety of all kinds of food like pickled cucumbers, shrimp skewer and salad. The spicy chicken is amazing too and the kimchi fried rice comes with a perfectly cooked egg on top. The portions are HUGE. Can’t wait to go back to try the Katsu!

Absolutely phenomenal, there really isn’t enough I can say about Bento and Bowls. Every experience has been excellent from the food to the service and staff. Family owned and every time I visit I feel like family. A great selection of meats, sauces, and styles that make you feel warm and comforted.So swing in and get some fantastic Korean food at a super fair price and make sure to try the Milkis soda!

I LOVE Bento & Bowls. I always order the bulgogi bowl for take out online. It’s plenty of food and it’s consistently good.
I’ve never eaten at the restaurant, it’s definitely meant to be a take out spot. There are a couple small tables if you realllly want to eat there.
There’s a small, free parking lot. Could park on the street too.
Anyway, go here if you don’t feel like cooking dinner 🙂

A nice small place to eat delicious Korean food. The bulgogi was marinated really flavorful and the soy garlic chicken wings were very tasty too! Too bad you are only able to order the korean short ribs in a bento box, but not in a bowl. There is a small parking lot. They have spam musubi for $2.00, Korean cup noodle for $3.00 or $5.00 and Korean ice -creams and drinks. It is a convenient go-to for the students from Oakland Tech High School since they are located across the street. I would definitely go back for the food.

Went here with a friend to grab a quick bite. Restaurant is located in a small strip mall with 3-4 other businesses around a shared parking lot. The space is a little dingy / not super inviting and when we went the bathroom was not available. There were some small tables with chairs and a TV playing in the background. I ordered veggie bibimbap and my friend got the kim chi fried rice. I asked for a little extra of one of the sides and was told no which was a little disappointing…. I mean it was a vegetable and we were the only people in there on a quiet night. But I loaded up on hot sauce and made it into smaller 2 meals. Not my favorite Korean spot but a solid choice all around.

I love This place! I recently Ordered the chicken Katsu #6 and was not disappointed! The chicken is so tender and the potstickers were flavorful juicy! The prices are fair for the amount of food you get! (I ate a couple pieces before taking the picture).

Love this place… best for take out, wait time is only about 10 minutes, food portions and flavor can’t be beat, and price is very reasonable also!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Staff was friendly and fast. Food wasn’t just good it was great. And the price perfectly reasonable for the serving size. Returning is just a matter of time…

Oh gosh, I can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner! So delicious!
There’s a lot of good Korean food in Oakland and this unassuming place is better than most, plus a ridiculously good value.
My partner ordered the flounder bento, and her fish was huge and perfect; the rest of the bento was also great. (As I was writing this, she said to me, “I can’t wait to go there again.”)
My bibimbap was excellent & they happily substituted tofu in place of meat upon request (was not on the menu). Banchan was fresh & tasty.
Losing the school business from across the street has got to be hard on this place, and we really want them to survive the pandemic, so please order your to-go from here!!
