I really love this little place. The waitress I believe also the owner and chef is super kind and friendly. The food is really tasty and the portions are quite substantial. Now.. is this the BEST bento in the Bay Area? No. Its not. But ...

Ive been here for lunch twice. Id recommend you beat the lunch crowd by arriving btwn 11a 1130a. Otherwise it can get pretty crowded. Id recommend the chicken bento over the salmon. The chicken is delicious. The service is very friendly too.
