Visiting The Bento Box may require all kinds of qualifications and explanations, but enjoying the food is, fortunately, a carefree experience.

The tasting menu here was delicious! Everything we ate was unique from the muscles, to egg rolls to chicken over noodles! Yum!!!

Wow. Amazing noodles, great curry, wildly good bulgogi. Just a fantastic depth of flavor across the board.

Try the soup from our 100 Best list: Rick Spiros’s herbaceous, spicy broths, such as this take on Vietnamese pho (we tried it with short ribs—now it’s made with braised brisket) are life-sustaining.

Mexican/Asian fusion ... For someone who doesn't usually like Asian food it was amazing
