“ Its been 2 decades. I remember when we used to have money and I could get a Bento from there for my field trip. It meant no sack lunch and pure happiness at lunch. I'm glad they're still around for new generations to have hopefully the same good memories as I did. ”

“ Stopped on our way to the North Shore this morning. Arrived at 7:45 AM and there were already lots of people going in and out. They only had 1 bento ($8) option to choose from, as well as a roll option ($7).we all really enjoyed the bento! So so good. Reminded me of my childhood in Japan. Simple, yet created with love. ”

“ One of the old school mom and pop take out bento places in Waipahu, open early and closes when they sell out. Cash only, I arrived too late to grab the bento with the shrimp so settled for the chicken, hotdog and musubi bento Still good as I remember from years ago, go support local 5 stars ”

“ You do need to go there early in the AM. They do run out before closing. Sometimes if you know what you want it is best to order ahead of time. My husband loves the chicken and oshi sushi. They do mix the type of sushi (rice) with either musubi, maki or/and oshi. The bento comes in two sizes. Check out their website for choices. ”

“ Few parking spots right in front of the store. Large bento ($13)or small bento. They had spam musubi ($3), some maki sushi rolls and cone sushi. You can order ahead. Open til sold-out. ”

“ Small but perfect place to get food from. Must hit up spot before going to the beach or the park. It's a simple bento, but the chicken is delicious, nice comfort food. My family really enjoys it. So much so that we we go there before they are open while they are still cooking the chicken. Definitely recommend!! ”
