Bento Kitchen Cravings

This great little restaurant has generous portions of tasty food and yummy boba. The friendly staff are the best part though. My family has gone here multiple times but have not explored much of the menu. The items we did get were good and large portions were a plus. We also enjoy the many options of tea.

DAMN! I ate here for the first time today with my mom. We got an Oreo shake and a lunch rice and orange shrimp bowl…and all I gotta say is that it was SO GOOD! Everything from top to bottom and absolutely delicious and it is absolutely worth the money. My new favorite place in Lansing. Was also my first time eating kimchi and it was a 10/10. Perfect spice. Staff was super friendly and it was so cute inside! Definitely going here more often.

Love Bento Kitchen Cravings. Been gone a while and today they had free new fruit drink with my order. The Bulgogi Bibimbap was as delicious as I remember and the new Pineapple Fruit tea was scrumptious. I taught in Korea and love love love their food—and Bento’s brings back fond memories of their delicious food.

What an amazing experience with the outstanding customer service, very clean atmosphere and unbelievable delicious and fresh food. I have been to hundreds of restaurants in Michigan and across the country and I rank my overall experience at Bento's as one of the best. I encourage all of my Spartan friend, families and colleagues to check them out as you will not regret it. Go Green and Go Bento!

UPDATE: The store manager reached out to learn what went wrong and had a chat with the crew. She gave us a refund on the meal and we really appreciate that she took things seriously. It sounds like this happened because of a new chef. We will be back to give it another try to update our review when we are next in the area. Original Review: We’re HUGE fans of Korean food (grew up in Asia and have had Korean food in Korea as well as in Michigan) but unfortunately we can’t recommend this place. Not sure if they were just having an off day but the food was not fresh, tasted like it had been sitting out for a couple hours and had been microwaved to reheat it. Flavors were not balanced and overall execution was poor. Really wanted to like this place but sorry to say we really didn’t.

It’s been 20 years since we graduated from MSU, we bumped into this little hidden gem restaurant on our way to MSU. The staff are amazing, the food is delicious. The food combination of Mexican and Korean is pretty exotic since I never had this combo before, but when I tried it, it taste so good. 5 stars, this comes from a foodie and a Elite Yelper.
