" What a lovely little restaurant! I enjoyed my teriyaki chicken with perfectly cooked rice. The sushi was fresh, but I found the rolls a tad too large for my taste. However, the atmosphere was very nice and cozy, making it a perfect place for an evening meal after a long day. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to check out Bento Express after hearing rave reviews. The sushi rolls were fresh and beautifully presented. While the portions were generous, I found some rolls to be a bit too rich for my taste. Overall, a delightful experience, and I would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Bento Express, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The sushi was ok, but I had hoped for something more authentic. The service was decent though, and the environment was cozy. I might give it another shot soon just to see if it was a one-off experience. " (*Curated Review*)
