Udon usually tend to salty flavor, which is why I like to add a lot of crisps to make it more flavorful. However, coco bento veg. udon has a good balance of sweet and salty for me (this is the first time I tasted udon with a balanced flavor … More

Luxury on a dime
This is probably the most well-priced Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been in.
Enough so that I thought the images must be incongruent with the price and that you’d just receive, say, 1 gyoza instead of 5.
I ordered the salmon mix bento - the image showed a little bit of teriyaki chicken, some rice, miso, 3 gyoza, tuna sushi, sashimi and salad, all for $21
But man. When the food arrived? These sashimi “slices” were Thick. Iirc, they gave us 5 or 6 salmon sashimi slices and 2 Tuna sashimi slices, about as thick as a thumb each.
The pork gyoza were fried but not oily- this is actually a trend I’ve noticed with this restaurant, their tempura as well is crispy but not greasy. The box itself was bigger than I expected, with greater portions than the menu shows.
All in all, I’d definitely recommend this place. I’m shocked it’s not full all the time, but I eat lunch late-ish.

I had the sashimi bento and was a bit disappointed, the salmon pieces were nice but i didn’t think the sushi was very tasty (tuna roll) and also fried things were unappealing. For $22 it was a bit steep as i saw the menu was listing other options but the chicken was also decent. It was average overall and could be improved. More

This place was exceptional. High quality food at a good prices It is inside the centre so hard to spot and looks unassuming. But the food was delicious and the sashimi and sushi in particular was super high quality. You could tell they really are very selective about the quality of the fish they serve. We will definitely be back. More

I would’ve given them 10 stars if it’s available!!! The service was amazing, the lady was very attentive and friendly! The sashimi and sushi platter were very fresh. The quality of food in the bento 🍱 was superb. And the price, very affordable!
We ordered al la carte and paid less than $20/head, the lunch specials are around $10-15! We will come again!

So delicious!
We ordered salmon teriyaki and chicken katsu. The salad dressing is next level, the katsu tender inside, crispy outside. The salmon is beautifully cooked, has just enough sauce and super tasty. More

These guys are my local Japanese restaurant and I'm really impressed by the fact it's so affordable and the portions are large servings, particularly for dinner. The quality of food is fantastic and overall, I would highly recommend that you come here if you like Japanese food that not only tastes great but is good value. They are severely underrated and you'd be missing out, so I feel like anyone in the local area should give them a chance for dinner which is a quiet time for them, you will be happily satisfied. We will definitely be returning again!

Went to Coco Bento today on their opening day at their new location. We ordered a new dish on their menu - large sashimi and sushi dish which was more than enough for 2 persons. The food was fresh and well presented. We received the same level of service and freshness of food as we did several times at their old location.
Well priced and as I understand, they will be adding more options into their menu over time. Looking forward to eating there again.
Do check them out.
