Teppan Bento

Delicious as always! I have been here twice before, and ordered take out. This was the first time I dined in. Either way, the food is phenomenal. The owners here are always so nice and accommodating. I received the free gyoza app for checking in, and it was a big serving and very tasty! I will definitely be back time and time again.

Tasty treat for those inclined for some benihana-​esque flavors at a much more reasonable price!
The homemade ahi poke was a nice blend.
The calamari and shrimp bento box was nicely cooked, not overdone and rubbery. The grilled vegetables were slightly over seasoned for my tastes but I tend to like mine under seasoned.
The chicken fried rice and the garlic butter that they serve in addition to the variety of sauces is awesome!

I was not impressed with this restaurant. I can say there was nothing wrong with the service. I also used their coupon for free pot stickers. The food did not taste very good; especially the free pot stickers. I walked in for pick-​up, and while waiting for the food I noticed quite a few crickets through-​out the restaurant. Considering it was a short it alarmed me. I don’t think I’ll be visiting anytime soon.

This place is the Bomb. Came for dinner with the family and had the Chicken Katsu. The great thing about the way they make it is that it’s breast meat and not thigh. It’s still juicy and tender with a perfect crispy coating. The best part are the sauces for dipping. The spicy mayo sauce is just the right amount of spicy and sweet. The service is great for take out or dine in. The owner is often there cooking for you. We will be back again for sure. I will be a regular here!

I love this place. We frequent at the nearby Thai restaurant and decided to try something different. I love the combo plates and love their calamari as well. Sometimes when I don’t feel like eating rice, I’d double on the vegetables which makes the dish a protein healthy dish. It sucks I gave up meat, reason why we stopped going here. Maybe they should add a Tofu option.

VERY friendly staff, family owned. Exceptional service! We arrived just after opening and were seated immediately :-D
Tried shrimp gyoza… disappointing. :-(
Spicy mayo sauce & poke sauce are unremarkable…
GINGER SAUCE IS DELISH on everything!
Ordered Shrimp and Salmon Bento Box and Chicken Yakisoba. Fish was prepared just right, Shrimp good with garlic butter and a squeeze of lime. Enough food to bring home for another light meal.
Deserves 3.5 stars. Yum!

I am gonna give this place a 3.5 star and so for this review, I have upped it or rounded it off to 5 star.
1. Service — Fantastic. The chef and the waitress of this family style restaurant are very nice, friendly, and very good cooks. I enjoyed their personal touch and accommodating whatever we needed, including asking tons of questions being our first time.
2. Ambiance — Interesting. This place feels more like a fast food establishment although it has plenty of seats and benches. There is no problem with parking at this strip mall. On a Saturday at 6:15 pm, we were the only ones at the restaurant, although within 30 minutes, there were quite a few more.
3. The food– Interesting. The food is served in disposable containers that are like small bento boxes. When I say small, I mean that they seem to be about 70% the size of a normal bento box. It is also a bit shallower as well.
a. Calamari and Salmon — Very tasty calamari and tender overall considering it is not fried or breaded. However, there was very little of it. I would say 2 – 3 ounces. The salmon was very tasty and just that it was such a small portion. Again, 2 – 3 ounces and fairly thin. I like thick portions of salmon. Rice, and some other tidbits rounded out this meal and it was good.
b. Teriyaki Beef and Chicken Katsu — the wifey had this one and the beef was good and the katsu was very, very thin. Normally I like a very juicy piece of chicken and you can bite into the delicate katsu, with the right amount of crunchiness and then you get all the juicy bits of chicken. This was thin, crunchy and easy to eat, just not what I was expecting.
c. Tuna Poke — Our friends had this and I did not try it. Although, you get a lot of poke mixed in the salad. Looked good to me!
d. Drinks are served in small 8 oz plastic disposable tumblers. It was okay. We had water.
The people are GREAT, the food tasty, I guess I may have been slightly underwhelmed by the pricing. I have had teppanyaki style at many places and so you definitely are getting teppanyaki at half the price. You are also getting a lot less in size and ounces too though.
Eating say, Hawaiian plate food in disposable dishes seems to be okay and I guess it is because you get a heapin full of really good and tasty food. Here, the disposable dishes and the small servings kind of made everything feel a bit… well underwhelmed.
I was truly surprised by all the 5 star reviews and this place being the best and tastiest. I may have to go back as I am totally not convinced at this time.
GK says, worth to check it out and inexpensive overall.

OMGGGGGGG
So much protein — so much delicious — small prices and great service!
The people who own this place and work there are so so so kind and friendly. They will introduce themselves to you and remember you when you come in.
The steak is so delicious, it’s like going to Benihana without all the ridic theatrics and high prices. The appetizers, like pot stickers and fried shrimp are also yummy. The sauces — you have to try them all — are all savory and unique. I like this place for a quick meal that tastes good, is nutritious (protein-​heavy), and doesn’t cost a lot.

I was craving Japanese food and didn’t want to eat at the strip since it’s overly priced. Then while Unilocaling I came across this gem. It’s a short drive away and definitely worth your buck. Here is what I have to say about it:
Such a friendly and delicious place!
The salmon poke is to die for, quality is GREAT.
I love how buttery the texture is for being so fresh. Definitely get this if you’re a salmon sashimi lover + it has huge fresh avocado chunks and a delish home made ginger dressing on the side salad (This is my personal favorite).
Also the shrimp + garlic butter is also a killer! The shrimp is super tasty and prepared better than a couple other teppan restaurants I’ve been to (Benihana, Musashi). As a bonus, they provide juicy limes to squeeze all over it.
Another popular item I got to try was the black angus rib-​eye steak, mmmmm yummy & flavorful!
You can order it however you want– I preferred mine medium rare. It also comes with rice and grilled veggies (which are also delish).
Don’t forget to claim the free goyza appetizer during check in ;)
The service was excellent and ate like a queen.
Will return when I’m back in Vegas!

I’ve been wanting to write a review for Teppan Bento for a long time. The staff here is always friendly. The gentleman that works the register greets me with a smile and always ask if I’ve been here before.
The Angus steak double meat with garlic butter is succulent and savory. I normally ask for my steak to be cooked at medium for melt in yo mouth goodness. Marinated chicken is the wife’s fave here. Veggies are good. They tend to go overboard on the onions, but it is a good pairing with the carrots and zucchini.
Although the meats are cooked to perfection, what makes it over-​the-​top is the sauces. Make sure you ask for extra teriyaki sauce for the chicken. The mustard sauce and garlic butter compliments the steak well.
Clearly, these guys don’t get a lot of business especially after Fresh and Easy closed next door. I’m sure these guys were getting a lot of their business do to proximity walk ins and convenience.
You can get a double portion of protein, two cups of rice and veggies for about $ 11. That’s about what you would pay for a three entry at Panda Express. But I’m the kind of dude that doesn’t mind paying more for less if the quality is there. Teppan Bento is one of my go to places for a macronutrient friendly meal with phenomenal taste and a decent price.

Came here tonight and was very impressed. We got the marinated & Katsu chicken, the salmon, side of the shrimp tempura as well as the free gyoza appetizer (free w/​check-​in)! All were very good and made right, loved that they had many sauces to choose from. I really like the ginger and the spicy mayo. I also like the fact that they serve the food in ready To-​Go Bento boxes!
This will now be our new Bento spot, since Vegas seems to lack more of. The owners/​workers were all very friendly and welcoming, as this is a very warm, inviting & family-​oriented establishment and they all made sure we were happy with our food. We are definitely coming back here for sure!

I wish I had the experience everyone else seems to have. I was really looking forward to trying teppan as I have never had teppanyaki. I went with my girl friend and it was strange to say the least. Menus in the front but booths to sit so I didn’t know if we put in an order at the register or the table.
I did use the free gyoza appetizer by checking in. The chicken ones were average. Oddly enough, they smelled like McDonalds french fries. We ordered a shrimp and chicken combo bento boxes with fried rice. We had full intentions to get another order if we were still hungry but we didn’t even finish half of the first one. They also serve water in red solo cups? What?
When I bit the shrimp I could feel the puncture of the skin and the squishy texture. Most of them still had the feces line. The chicken was fatty and had a weird taste.
The man who took our order was really sweet at first but did not say goodbye or that he appreciates the constructive Criticism when I told him it was not good. I did not mean it to be offensively and I’m sorry you saw it that way. I believe there is always room for growth, especially when you work in the food industry.

One of my favourite things on Unilocal is collecting the different badges. I wish, however, I could give a badge to this place. Teppan Bento definitely deserves the «Hidden Gem» badge, because this place is fantastic.
I love supporting mom and pop shops too, but it’s even better when you get to patronize them because they’re great and not just because you’re tired of the big guy. Teppan Bento is run by a son and his aunt, uncle, and mother. Total small time establishment.
I ordered the Chicken and Salmon bento, and my girlfriend ordered the steak and shrimp bento with chicken fried rice. We also got a gyoza appetizer. It was a lot more food than I had anticipated. We both split all the food and tried everything. I’d break down the food as following:
–steak ⁵⁄₅
–chicken ⁴⁄₅
–shrimp ⁵⁄₅
–salmon ⁵⁄₅
–gyoza ³⁄₅
–chicken fried rice ⁵⁄₅
–vegetable side ⁵⁄₅
All the food was delicious, but especially the steak. It was cooked perfect. Also, their copious amounts of dipping sauces were amazing. My favourites were the mustard sauce and yum yum sauce.
If you’re in town and looking for some good teppanyaki-​esque food, or just a good bento lunch/​dinner, you HAVE to give this place a try. You would definitely be missing out if you didn’t come here.
Would I come back here myself??? You bet your chopsticks I will.
Would I recommend this place to others??? In a heartbeat.

Solid five stars. Found this place off Unilocal.Im from Los Angeles and anytime I’m in the area I’ll definitely stop by. Think of a Benihana but cheaper but actually taste better. Quality of meat is up there too. The owner is probably the nicest owner you’ll ever meet. Service is on par with a five star restaurant.
No joke, the food is spectacular and the customer service is unbelievable for a fast food or to go place.
Don’t be fooled by the reviews you can sit down and dine in if you want. I had the chicken and steak and it was done perfectly. The sauces are good but the garlic butter is off the charts. Definitely get the fried rice as well.
Awesome place, will come back when I have the chance!!!

Hmmm… I have such mixed feelings about this place. I actually want to say 3.5 stars. I guess I’ll get the negatives out of the way since it’s quicker.
1. I don’t think this place is a very good value for your money. It’s a little on the high side and you don’t get that much quantity in my opinion either.
2. I have no idea what’s going on with their website.
That’s it for the negatives.
The food was very tasty. I had the beef with salmon bento with fried rice option and I ordered a chicken katsu bento to go. They give you a lot of delicious dipping sauces too which I love. Who doesn’t love Garlic Butter anyways? And it was prepared very quickly. The staff is extremely friendly too but I’m beginning to think it’s because they are trying to justify their slightly high prices. I was trying to get up to throw away my trash and they all insisted I sit back down so they could throw it away for me.
They also explained to me at length (without me asking) the quality of the beef that they use and the different levels they use relative to other places, which is why I believe that they know they are pricey and are trying to justify it to me so I’d come back.
Definitely give it a try for yourself at the very least.

Teppanyaki without the corny tricks served bento style.
Protein choices: steak, chicken, salmon, shrimp, ahi, and calamari.
Entrée options consist of a combination of 2 or 1 selection double protein. Each bento comes with rice and veggies and choice of 2 sauces.
— ginger sauce*
— mustard sauce

— bbq sauce
— katsu sauce
— yum yum sauce*
— spicy mayo sauce*
— gyoza sauce
*my faves, tasted great with my seafood!
During my first visit I was able to try the ahi, shrimp, and salmon. Portions were decent, but a bit pricey; however, the quality of food justifies the price. Excellent customer service. Interior is a bit blah, but who really cares? We were the only ones dining in at the time. Other customers were just in and out. It seems like they get a lot of business with take out orders.
Great tasting quality food minus the theatrics and awkwardness of sitting next to strangers.
Looking forward to returning and trying out the rib eye steak with garlic butter that so many rave about!

I love to support new local businesses and this became on my radar after scoping it out in my favorite section of Unilocal… the Hot and New Businesses. I’m so glad I finally stopped by. I had a great experience and will be eating here more often.
I recommend the Calamari Tempura with spicy mayo sauce. That was so good! I also loved my Black Angus Steak Bento Box, cooked perfectly to medium rare at my request. The ginger sauce went really well with the steak, as well as the garlic butter that came with the meal.
The atmosphere is nothing fancy. The quality of the food as well as the excellent service are the true shining stars of this establishment. And really, what more do you need? Give it a shot.

Great customer service!
I enjoyed my food. Just thought it was a little overpriced for the amount we got. Also, their Shrimp Gyoza barely had any shrimp at all, it was filled with more tofu-​like stuff instead. Those are my only complaints. Besides that, it is quick food and friendly service!

What I love about this place that outshines a lot of other restaurants is that welcome. Being greeted by the entire staff like a good pal that has finally come back home. Now this is based off of my own individual experiences but nonetheless these are very nice people running an honest to God business.
Interior: Fairly open with maybe 7 – 8 tables so if it’s not busy please take a seat, they will bring you all sorts of sauces to try and just chat, they like to get to know the customers that are visiting their establishment.
Food: I love their salmon which is personally selected by the chef/​owner every week. Sometimes there is no salmon and I respect that. why? because he refuses to compromise with his ingredients. He loses money potentially by not having that dish but there are still other great options. I really like their marinated chicken, very tasty and super tender. The steak is also a good option and ask to have it with the garlic butter its fantastic. The food is incredibly fresh and also a great healthy alternative.
Service: A+
Overall: fair prices, friendly service, and quality ingredients. Also in an area where good food is hard to come by. My new favorite restaurant

I had a nice experience at Teppan Bento. This place has been open just a month and is a casual place to enjoy the same flavors you could get at a teppanyaki restaurant for a good price and less time. I met one of the owners, Kevin, who walked me through the menu.
I chose the combo bento with calamari and steak. I asked about the tofu steak and learned it is being phased out of the menu. When the chef heard me discuss it, he offered to make me the tofu steak on the house since it is going away.
I tried 4 sauces — the house made chipotle hot sauce, the garlic hot sauce, gyoza sauce, and ginger sauce, and got steamed rice with my bento. The bento came with veggies (onions, carrots, and zucchini). I really enjoyed the meal — everything was cooked perfectly and tasted very well-​seasoned. I was able to order my steak cooked the way I prefer. The sauces complimented everything. Ginger sauce goes very well with the veggies. The bento also came with garlic butter to flavor the proteins.
The bento also included a drink, so I found it to be a very good deal. I would definitely recommend a stop here for a tasty meal!
