Bento’s Hibachi & Sushi Express

Good sushi, simple rolls but well made and yummy. Location is vey clean and service was nice.

Great location for those in Crofton/​Gambrills area who don’t want to deal with the nightmares of the Michigan U-​turns when crossing Route 3.
The food is good, although the menu is somewhat limited.
We’ve only gone for carry out, but the staff are great.
We definitely will go again, and will eat in when our schedules allow.
The only con is the entrance door is hard to open and is really bad for backs.

I am a big fan of simple sushi and I’m so glad I happened upon this place. I’ve been known to scour Wegmans and even Annapolis Mall for a some sushi that I don’t have to spend a minimum of 30 dollars to order at a sit down place. This place is it! Yummy rolls and the chicken habachi hit the spot! A step above fast food and I’m so glad it’s near me!

I usually just get sushi from Bento’s. I really like the California rolls and the shrimp tempura rolls. It’s a great option when you want quick and easy sushi. The only complaint I have is that they need blinds on the windows. The sun comes directly in the restaurant and you need sunglasses when sitting inside. Other than that, I love the place!

My job is shopping mall related, so I have a lot of chances to visit many different express type of hibachi restaurants. I would say this is the best one!!! Absolutely no bad smells from any of their meats, fishes and vegetables, and its so fresh and crunchy!!! Im so glad that I dont need to go to the mall anymore when I really want to have chicken teriyaki for my lunch beacuse now its near my house :-)

Very fast fare priced, so you will get quick deli style sushi. With that said it is a great spot to go get catered food for the office as there is something for everyone and very nicely priced for a good healthy lunch. We got a sushi combo and a hibachi combo and were stuffed. The hibachi combos have a little sampling of several items so it’s a good way to get your cravings taken care of.

Customer Service was great and the establishment is very clean and organized inside. I’m not a fan of the food though. =/

Decided to finally try Bento’s after looking at the Unilocal reviews. Considering it is a quick lunch type atmosphere, I loved it!
The employees were very friendly. The inside was very clean. And while it wasn’t the best hibachi I’ve ever had, it was great for the price. The gyoza was amazing! Some of the best I’ve had, and only about $ 3 for six pieces!
I’ll definitely return for lunch in the future. So quick and convenient!

Really good bento boxes with a delicious sauce for the chicken. The California rolls were different but good as well and the fried rice was tasty.
I would like to see more selections on the menu like Udon soup or other Japanese items but all in all a great place to eat with quick and friendly service.
Oh and bathrooms were spotless which says a lot!

Food was ok however much to say about the place itself.
First off, there are no shades on any of the large windows and it is positioned 180 degrees facing the sun all day! Not even a tint on the Windows. That makes the place way too bright and you can see every spec of dust.
Also they do not keep the seating area very clean. AT ALL. Dust, dirt and just stuff is seen on tables and walls.
Condiments were mostly out and soy sauce was watered down.
Bottom line, food was ok but I would not go there to eat in the dining room.

I’ve seen this spot many times in my travels and decided to give them a try. In my opinion, if you simply want to grab and go; that’d be your best option. There is minimal décor and some of the tables hadn’t been cleaned off. So as I am waiting on my order I was sitting there with the wrinkle over my nose at the dirty tables and «plainness» of the establishment.
They do offer a 5% military discount and the weekly flyer that is delivered by mail has coupons inside. I ordered the salmon bento box to go and was happy with it. The salmon was prepared to my liking but I wasn’t in love with the sauce they ladled over my rice (you can get white or fried rice). I came home and put my own salad dressing on the salad but unbeknownst to me there was ranch dressing on the bottom. It would’ve been nice to know that there was dressing on it already; or how about asking me if I even like ranch dressing. The gyoza was a tad bit crispier than what I prefer but it was edible. The sushi rolls that came with it were tasty.
Overall, it was an okay experience but I think my curiosity about Bento’s has been quelled.

Great sushi. Mediocre chicken hibachi. Still won’t stop me from coming back and trying the beef, though. lol!
I have to say that I am really happy Bento’s is here in Crofton. It’s a solid takeout option (or fast casual dine-​in option, if you want) and the food is made well and fast with quality ingredients unlike similar quick restaurants in the area. It’s also conveniently located, which is a plus.
The prices are more than fair, if not inexpensive, and the service is speedy and friendly. So far, I’m a fan!

Mediocre food and decent food. A piece of the chicken had a small bone in it which felt like I was about to break my tooth when I bit into it.

Rating Woohoo! As good as it gets!
‘Bentos’ is Fantastic. The prices are cheap and the portions are huge! Very clean and just unbelievable with the quality and flavor of the meal. The staff is friendly and the chicken hibachi was better than P.FChangs.
Try it and I guarantee you will be impressed with the quality of the food an you will be bringing your friends. Look out for their savings on offers that are put in our direct mail magazine called ‘The Best of Crofton’ starting in October. The Chicken Hibachi is so tender and it is hard to believe how cheap it was. You can get 2 entrees for less than $ 10.00 and you will walk out of there happy with what you got.

I just tried Bentos for the first time, and I must say I was impressed with their sushi! I got the spicy tuna roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. Both were very tasty. My friend got the Maryland roll, and a couple other standard/​normal rolls. The Maryland roll was so so good. I’m definitely going to order it for myself next time! The one thing I would say is that the rolls are pretty small, but when you take into account the price, I think everything makes sense. Definitely a good quick sushi place! Will be back to maybe try the hibachi next time.

Great place for something quick and hot! A step up from fast food. We got the beef and chicken bento. It was fresh and hot. It came with your choice of meat, salad, 3 dumplings, 4 California rolls, and your choice of rice or noodles.
Everything was cooked well and it was piping hot. As soon as you place your order it hits the grill. We will be back.
Bento’s does need to work on their seating arrangements. Some of the chairs are as high as the tables. Very funny! Haha.

Went with the family the other night. It is clean, people are friendly. We had the shrimp hibachi, chicken hibachi and spring roll. We took it to go, my son never received his spring roll or drinks. The chicken is ALL DARK MEAT. They don’t offer white meat for all you white meat lovers. Fried rice was just ok. Kids had noodles, they said they were overcooked. I feel bad giving them less than three stars, but I probably should have.

We’ve looked forward to this restaurant’s opening in Gambrills. Great lunch spot! We each had the chicken bento box — stir fried chicken over starch of choice, 4 pcs California roll, 3 gyoza, salad, picked ginger & wasabi. We got a side order of gyoza to share. Good choice! The bento boxes were good fast-​food. We watched several patrons walk in thinking it was Chinese food and walked out before trying something new — their loss! Bento’s is not fancy Japanese cuisine but it is reasonably priced, solid Japanese fast-​food that beats a burger hands down.
These folks are working hard to make your experience positive — give them a try, Gambrills!

4 Stars for decent fast hibachi. The fried rice was pretty good and veggies were fresh. I’ve experienced better and worse but never as quickly as Bento’s. The rainbow roll was very good and I would definitely recommend it trying Bento’s especially if you don’t have a lot of time but want something better than fast food.

Great new restaurant!
We’ve been there twice now, and both times have been excellent. We’ve had the Hibachi chicken and beef, as well as some of the sushi.
Service is good, friendly and quick.
