Bento is a Japanese-style packed lunch with different assortments of meat and veggies in different compartments alongside rice.
I was craving some Japanese curry and this place came through! Curry had large chunks of potatoes and carrots, and some nice pieces of dark meat chicken which totally hit the spot.
They serve Ramen, Bento Boxes, curry, rolls and salad. All the rolls are hand made to order. It feels like it’s family owned and operated. It’s about $12-$18 per meal. You can get a large size fountain drink refill for half off it’s $2.75 price.
For vegans and vegetarians they have a special menu with a good amount of options.
Located down the central corridor of the Grand Central Market, in between the sushi spot and the fresh fruit stands.
It was my first time eating at Grand Central downtown. I picked the place with the longest line. I wasn't disappointed. The cost to portion was pretty good. The food was enjoyable (I especially enjoyed the variety in the Deluxe Bento box). If you want to get a feel for the hustle and bustle of a downtown lunch, then this may be the place for you.
Got a bento combo with salmon for lunch the other day. Food came quickly and was okay for the price. Not a bad option for a fast meal.
Love their spicy seafood ramen #9 (favorite). Super quick service. I have tried one of the beef bento boxes #1, was too salty for me, but the rice was delicious. Ramen #8 was good. Tried the takoyaki, I did not liked. The shrimp tempura was good. I will recommend what I have tried.
Wow. A lot of haters! Sub-4s is offensive! A great spot for quick teriyaki. They prepare the food immediately and I thought the prices were okay. If you want a quick teriyaki fix, this is the spot!!
Quick and simple Japanese spot. Their menu is huge and there is a lot to choose from. While not the best chicken karaage i’ve had, my order was still very tasty and worth it. Can’t speak on the sushi/rest of menu but don’t think this place deserves 3 stars!

Stopped by this place, maybe the most beloved of Grand Central Market. I enjoyed watching the efficiency of the workers, which included putting tempura items directly into the bentos.
Ended up getting the deluxe bento with grilled pork, assorted tempura, egg roll, salad, rice. Everything was cooked well and priced right at $12.
Visiting downtown LA, for lunch visited Grand Central Market on Broadway found Bento Ya, ordered the spicy seafood Ramen 😋 if in the area worth a visit.
Good quality/price ratio, healthy and tasty meal, would recommend!

Mods: - Pork / +Teriyaki Chicken
Salmon: My little piece of salmon had an excellent taste & IMO cooked very well or just how I like it? Who knows, sometimes I think my taste is universal ;p !!
Tempura: I believe the tempura should be less greasy? I enjoyed the veggie tempura, I had it before and *the breading/panko, it was very dry/crunchy.
Egg Roll: Yes, yes, smol crunchyboi had majestic crunch.
Rice: It's rice, it's a rice cooker. I love rice though, especially when I want to eat 2000 of something.
Chimken: Wasn't dry, some teriyaki is so dry & overcoated this was delicately coated & chicken was a juicyy bby.
The way the food sparkled & glistened in the sunlight made it seem like I got a much more expensive meal than 12.99.
Overall, I enjoyed the meal, hek yes.
I even remembered to say itadakimasu before I ate because someday I will know more Nihongo!! Tired of needing subtitles on everything!!
So, num-num or not? : This definitely some num-nums!
P.s- Coming back for some Tako-Yaki!!! Yes plz!!
