Excellent choices at affordable prices. Light meals. Prepared especially after order so fresh. Recommend calling order in before pick up. Food is delicious. No MSG. They have local delivery too!

Wow. A lot of haters! Sub-4s is offensive! A great spot for quick teriyaki. They prepare the food immediately and I thought the prices were okay. If you want a quick teriyaki fix, this is the spot!!

Food was great, crunchy shrimp roll was only 11 which is pretty inexpensive for sushi. Staff were very nice to me and there wasn't even a line. It is in the middle of grand central market and very loud buy, its not the resturaunts fault. 5/5.

Bento is a Japanese-style packed lunch with different assortments of meat and veggies in different compartments alongside rice. I was craving some Japanese curry and this place came through! Curry had large chunks of potatoes and carrots, and some nice pieces of dark meat chicken which totally hit the spot. They serve Ramen, Bento Boxes, curry, rolls and salad. All the rolls are hand made to order. It feels like it’s family owned and operated. It’s about 12-18 per meal. You can get a large size fountain drink refill for half off it’s 2.75 price. For vegans and vegetarians they have a special menu with a good amount of options. Located down the central corridor of the Grand Central Market, in between the sushi spot and the fresh fruit stands.

Stopped by this place, maybe the most beloved of Grand Central Market. I enjoyed watching the efficiency of the workers, which included putting tempura items directly into the bentos. Ended up getting the deluxe bento with grilled pork, assorted tempura, egg roll, salad, rice. Everything was cooked well and priced right at 12.
