Bento Café

REALLY good food, perfect bento sizes and delicious mochi & onigiri. there's not really any service, the people who work there are friendly but apart from ordering and paying you don't interact with them a lot. only downside is the air, it can get very dense when the oven's in use. but the food is SO worth it!! and the BEST yuzu matcha in rotterdam!!

Bento Cafe is such a delicious spot in Rotterdam. The food is to die for. The atmosphere is welcoming. The staff were so kind hearted. The chef is so talented. Great spot for a quick bite, but also for a sit down private event. Most recently, we had an event there and everything was perfect. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for having us 🙏

The food is very unique, you don’t find these lunch spots often and the flavours didn’t disappoint. The bento boxes were adequately sized and price/quality is balanced. Servers were all really nice and helpful. My only complaint would be that the restaurant itself was a bit too smokey/smelling of fried food, but after a while I didn’t notice it anymore.

I found out about this new spot throughout social media. It’s definitely worth a visit! I was here yesterday and today, I ordered the ebi katsu sando and also a refreshing home made green ice tea. The sando was delicious, perfectly toasted, the sauce inside was perfectly balanced and the shrimp itself was crispy. I personally recommend the ebi katsu sando! Also the weekend special unagi onigiri was delicious! The owner and and the staff were friendly, gave me a welcoming vibe and it felt pleasant. There are still a lot of things I’d like to try. Will visit this spot again in the future. :)

We got here thanks to social media and we are glad we found this great spot for nice Japanese meals. Since you get inside, the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. The stuff is very kind and attentive. Regarding the food, for the price you paid the portions and quality is great. We ordered bento box karage teriyaki / yuzu sando / karage chicke pieces. All great and tasty!. About the drinks: the match latte lychee is super creamy and flavorful (extra point for the presentation - extra tip when ordering: ask for oat milk to make it slightly sweeter), and ginger lemonade also nice.

Food generally lacks taste and feels homey where you can make it all yourself. Expected better rice quality and the ebi was too much batter and panko (small shrimp). Beef was okay but very very little. Nowhere close to a 5 star. People really need to up their standards for real on Japanese food here.
