Bento Express

Henry Hsieh a month ago

We felt like having bento today so we decided to come to Bento Express and grab some of their delicious bento for lunch. It wasn't as busy as I remembered it but nonetheless, I was very much looking forward to grabbing my bento. Lining up, the young lady asked me if I was with the party in front of me. "No", I said. She continued to ask me twice to which I continued to say "no". Afraid that she's confused, I said, "I'm by myself and I will be ordering a bento alone". She then skipped me and asked the person behind me and started taking his order? I was appalled and I gave her a weird look of discontent. She didn't stop and basically just skipped me. It literally took me a minute to realize what has just happened and you can imagine the feeling you felt if it ever happened to you. I could have: A. Make a scene about it and give them a piece of my mind B. Take the high road I took the high road. The bento wasn't as delicious as it was last I remembered it and with plenty of bento spots close by, it's a hard sell especially with how disrespectful this interaction was made me realize why the line was a lot shorter this time around. On a different day I may give them a pi

I had such a great experience here. I called because I knew I was going to arrive about five minutes after closing, and before I even asked if it was still possible to order, the staff member offered to prepare a bento box for me anyway. That alone meant a lot after a very long day at work. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn’t sure which sides to choose, so she helped pick them for me and did an excellent job. Everything was fresh, balanced, and delicious. When I arrived, everyone was incredibly kind and made sure I had all my utensils and condiments before I left. The food quality was great, but what really stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating the team was. It’s rare to see that level of customer care, especially right at closing time. I’ll definitely be coming back. 🍱✨

Well made food, authentic Taiwanese / Chinese “office worker lunch” experience. The portion is generous for one bento. The flavors are good, slightly on the sweet side for Chinese food, typical of Taiwan. The side dish (choose four!) selection is amazing, with enough basics in vegetarian selections while most of the sides have (meat) proteins. There are only 4 chairs, all outdoors, as most customers are to go. I really wanted to give it 5 stars for the nostalgia factor, but a solid 4 stars for food and excellent value earns this restaurant a place on my recurring rotation.

8/18/25 Bento Express 1677 Hollenbeck Ave Sunnyvale, CA 94087 I went there for an early dinner. It's in the CVS plaza at Homestead and Hollenbeck, so plenty of parking. It's a takeout only order and plate setup, no interior dining. There are many main entree selections and it comes with four sides, including both protein and vegetable choices. I got the fried pork chop, three vegetable sides and a sausage. Everything was lightly seasoned, not excessively salted. The chop was huge with a crispy breading and tender. Service was fast and with mass quantities, good for 2 meals. A good value and repeatable.
