Bento Moto is truly wonderful. A few weeks before visiting this establishment, I vacationed in Japan and got to experience authentic Japanese cuisine for the first time. After coming back home and eating all the western food I could handle, I started to miss the taste and "heart" that's poured into so many authentic Japanese dishes. One afternoon I decided to join my coworkers for lunch at Bento Moto. I ordered the chicken katsu ramen and chicken kushiyaki and they were both delicious. For a moment, I felt as if I was back in Japan eating the best bowl of Ramen I've ever had inside a tiny and tightly packed restaurant. The food here is 10/10 and if you're looking for something that reminds you of Japan ... or makes you want to visit Japan .... then you have to check this place out! The ambiance and overall vibe inside was very cool and I especially loved the tiger mural on the sushi bar wall. The staff/chefs were also 10/10, very respectful, kind, and personable. Great experience overall!

Very authentic experience and wonderful service. We got our food very fast and you just knew everything was super fresh… the fish, the wasabi, the rice- I recommend the skewers and the Shogun roll if you like a little heat! It’s a father and son run place and it was it was really genuine to be served by people that love the art of Japanese food so much. Highly recommend even if it’s a little farther away from you.

My wife and I have been on a sushi kick. Was just looking around and found this shop. It’s actually really neat! It has a Japan backstreet bars vibe. Got some photos as well. The staff was awesome and was able to talk through the options. The sushi was spectacular. Overall a great place for a quick sushi dinner.

This place was very good. The sushi was fresh, and the udon was delicious. The location is a little small, but it is in a nice area. It took a little longer, but the food came out super fresh. I loved the skewers. I'm definitely coming back.
