TASTE... THE THREE WAYS TO EXPERIENCE US.

BENTO

Obento-ya is known for its variety of Japanese style box lunch and dinner sets. Bento is a casual complete meal set, which is artfully served in a lacquer partitioned box. We are proud to offer the largest selection and the most robust style of Japanese cooking - over 28 bento sets. We recommend to our first-time guests these favorites:

#1 Sushi classic,
#2 Salmon combo, or
#3 Yakiniku classic.

A LA CARTE

Our bistro is known for its popular Japanese selection of ROBATA, KATSU, TEMPURA, and SUSHI. A la carte is a good - fun and scalable - way to select these styles of Japanese foods to either accompany your meal or solo - your choice. We are proud to be the first to offer ROBATA, an open-fire Japanese style of cooking. We recommend to our first-time guests these favorites:

#1 Yellow submarine,
#2 Garden with lamb, or
#3 Steak roll.

SMALL PLATE - IZAKAYA

Our IZAKAYA small plate fare is a good way to experience our culinary distinction. Izakaya is a Japanese style of shared food to accompany the drinking of beer, wine or sake - happy hour 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. We are proud to offer the largest selection of Japanese draft beer with these popular, and casual styles of shared drinking food in a robust dining experience. We recommend to our first-time guests to ask to be seated at "the bar" to experience first hand our fresh casual flair for Japanese food - for these shared favorites:

#1 Salmon tartare,
#2 Gyoza, or
#3 Buta-kimchi.
