"I recently tried the chicken karakage meal, and it was absolutely delicious ! It came with two lumpia, and the chicken was bursting with flavor and perfectly breaded. It reminded me of the chicken I had in Japan. The mayo-spicy sauce was just the right amount of heat. It’s worth every penny. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Ate here and now I see why everyone loves it so much! The food was fresh and delicious. The owner is so kind and the service was on point. Springfield needs more good places to eat but more importantly many could learn how to deliver great service from the owner, Gene. Keep doing what you are doing."

"Gene has created something incredible. When my son first told me about musubi I wasn't sure. After the first bite I was hooked! Gene is so kind and makes delicious food! My family gets so excited when I tell them we are eating at Bento Box!!! Okay now I am sad they are closed for the day and I can't get any musubi until tomorrow."

"Wonderful food! Such a nice gentleman checked me out as well. Very easy to talk too. Sad I didnt get the masubi but I will be back! I got the chicken karage with macaroni salad and cucumber pickles. I also got a side order of lumpia. It was amazing! I honestly didnt expect so much flavor in such a small package. Cucumber pickles were sweet and crunchy. The karage was super crunchy and also packed full of flavor. Macaroni salad was surprisingly light and fresh. 10/10 amazing food and service. Will be back"
