Bentosprout - San Mateo

The meatball was delicious and complemented the sesame tofu and broccoli nicely. The teriyaki salmon was also tasty, though I felt a slightly larger portion would have been better. Everything was well-seasoned; traditionally, bento is more intensely flavored so it can be enjoyed at room temperature. I found that the rice served with it was of higher quality compared to the average bento boxes available in Japanese markets, justifying the price. I definitely plan to return! I believe this place would be a great choice for a future work dinner event, and I can envision them providing a perfectly packed meal.

The Bento boxes were a little smaller, what I was hoping for. I wish the portions were a little bigger. overall, it was still a good meal with all Japanese basic ingredients to choose people a lot of authentic ingredients.

I highly recommend ordering from bentosprout. mireille was extremely responsive and helped me to curate my daughter's birthday party with a budding little child. they are professional, punctual and a good cook! eltern had the chicken, gay and teriyaki salmon. the children had a chicken caraage bento. eating was well balanced for the adult bengos and children. the children ate most boxes, and some adult had extras. I asked for special accommodations for the child crates and mireille delivered exactly as I wanted. she even tried to make the child food smaller for a simpler meal. it was thoughtful and well prepared. the custom sections worked well for the 3-5 age group. the children had a karaage bento with a mochi. the mochi was very soft on the day and remained soft on the day after (even after cold). the adult had huh with tartaric acid, gayskatsu, teriyaki salmon overall, really happy with the food and sustainable packaging. thanks! we will definitely take them back into account for future events.

Satisfied, cute benton wanted to be served at roomtemp. I tried her tofu and her chicken catsu. prefer the katsu, with its cheerfulness and side of the Katsu sauce. they do not shy on white rice for filler. the side is the same order, with a peanut-y-wilted greens salad, glass noodles, potato salad in Japanese style and a red bohnenmochi dessert. packed nice, but they could benefit from adding some more fresh vegetables or pickles for additional textur changes and acid.

Upon lifting the plastic lid, you're greeted with a vibrant and cheerful bento that instantly brings a smile to your face. The quality of these bentos far surpasses anything available in stores or other restaurants. Not only are they delicious, colorful, and healthy, but you can truly appreciate the care that goes into their cooking and preparation. The owner, Mireille, is extremely friendly and attentive, always eager to listen to feedback in order to enhance her offerings and service. They also have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available, and brown rice can be requested as well. I highly recommend this place!
