Mr. Bento - Hillsboro

This was my first experience ordering from Mr. Bento, and it definitely won’t be my last. I tried the Spicy Tenoba Yakisoba, adding a side of Ex Veggies, since the dish doesn’t come with vegetables. The results were exceptional! The balance of chicken, noodles, and sauce was perfect, and the quality of the noodles, chicken, and sauce stood out. I also paired it with their Coffee Boba Tea, which was the perfect finishing touch. If you haven't given this place a try yet, I highly recommend making it your next choice for takeout!

The restaurant was quite empty on this Saturday, and with its sturdy furniture, it seems more suitable for lunch crowds. The ambiance certainly reflects that. The food was good and on par with what you would expect from a bento place. However, there was no price list available for the menu items, so I had to inquire about the costs. The staff was friendly. For my order in October 2023, I had teriyaki chicken, fried chicken, Peter Pan, and two smoothies, which came to $57. Just a side note: the prawns were overcooked today. Service was for dine-in.

I absolutely love the food here! This review is for the location on Cornelius Pass, and just a heads-up – they don’t serve burgers. The bento was fabulous, and I found the salad to be very fresh and delicious, especially with its unique dressing. I opted for the spicy tofu in my rice bowl, and it was perfectly prepared. This has quickly become my new favorite spot in the neighborhood!

Generous portions and absolutely delicious. A fantastic spot for lunch or to grab dinner to take home. Food rating: 5/5.

This was my second visit to the restaurant, and I still enjoy their food, but today I was a bit disappointed. I wanted to try something new and ordered the noodle yakisoba, but it came with no vegetables and a very small portion of noodles, which didn't feel worth the $8.99. On a positive note, the teriyaki chicken was delicious, and the side salad with that sauce was tasty as well. The kimchi was fresh, too. The spring rolls were alright, but the dipping sauce tasted more like ketchup.
