Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was at my other office in Ashburn and was craving sushi and decided to place an order on GrubHub. The order arrived promptly which was great because I was starving. I ordered 3 specialty rolls, and a bottle of ginger ale. Right away I...was pleased to see them include the 3 containers of soy sauce and 3 sets of chopsticks. The rolls themselves were put together nicely, nothing falling apart upon the slightest of pressure from the chopsticks. Always a good sign. The fish was fresh. And all in all decent.More

Egg rolls were greasy. Shrimp roll was room temperature and gummy, But the worst was the volcano roll! Whatever was on top the roll looked and tasted like cat food. It was gross. Biggest waste of money ever spent.

Flavor was ok, but when I order Ramen, I expect chewy texture. There is a major difference in mouth-feel when you know good, authentic ramen. This place is quick and friendly, but not authentic

Today was my first time at this place. I didnt have high expectations but boy was I surprised. The reviews on Yelp said good portions and this place didn't disappoint. There was two of us and we spent $27. We had two portions of shrimp...tempura rolls, steak, chicken, spring roll and rice. The food was fresh, very good and the resteraunt was clean. WE loved it. What a plesant surprise. We will definitely come back. The girl at the register was friendly and smiling. It was just such a pleasant experience I had to come right home and write a review.More

This was a newer place so I tried it out at dinner on a weeknight. The staff was friendly but the "bento boxes" fell far short of what I used to prom places like Nikko and Hama (in Herndon). Lacked variety but what was there...was tasty and reasonably priced.More

We in Reston are looking for restaurant away from Reston Town Center so we do not have to pay for parking now. Bento House is a great place for an informal lunch or dinner with a surprisingly long list of dishes available. Bento boxes, fresh...sushi, teriyaki and a lunch special for only $6.95 that includes chicken teriyaki on a bed of rice and stir fried veggies. Nothing fancy here, but pleasant and the staff is so friendly.More

There is an old adage in project management called the iron triangle. It's usually not possible to have something that is good, cheap, or delivered quickly or fast. If something is designed cheaply and delivered quickly, you usually sacrifice quality. Or if it is good...and fast, it generally isn't cheap. Such is the case with Bento House in Reston. The food is definitely inexpensive and it's delivered quickly. But, it's definitely not close to being the same quality as other Japanese restaurants in the area, not by a long shot. Going to Bento House is the equivalent of going to a fast food chain for a hamburger. You get your food very quickly, but it's not the gourmet experience. That's not all bad however. In fact, I would select Bento House over any of the large national burger chains (with the exception of 5 Guys, Shake Shack, or In n' Out Burger). Your best options here are the Bento House Boxes. There are six choices: - Chicken Teriyaki - Steak Teriyaki - Shrimp Teriyaki - Chicken and Shrimp - Salmon Teriyaki, and - Tofu Teriyaki Each of the boxes include mixed vegetables and your choice of white rice, fried rice, or noodles. You can make any of the boxes a deluxe version which includes a pretty tasty spring roll and 4 piece California Roll sushi. Prices range from $6.45 - $10.15. You can order additional chicken, steak, or shrimp for around $2. Very good value. You can get a "family pack," which is a Chicken Teriyaki Platter for 4 for $23.99, which is a pretty good deal when feeding a family of four. Stay away from the ramen. The noodles are packaged, and while the Tonkatsu (pork belly) is very good, the broth is weak and lacking in the complex flavors of the ramen you can find at other ramen shops in the area. All in all, Bento House is fast, inexpensive, and . . . okay. If I'm in the area, I'd try it again, but I wouldn't make a special trip.More

We happened to just stumble upon this place while looking for dinner. It's more of a fast food service with ordering at the counter but it's still really great service and food. I had the tonkotsu ramen and my husband had the spicy ramen. Both...were very good! We also got talked into trying the chicken gyoza. That was also delicious!! We will definitely be back!More

It was my first time here. A good selection and I chose the tofu with fried rice. Neither were very good. The tofu was fried and had a consistency that I've never seen before. The rice was stuck together and had very little taste. The...rest of the food in the box was fine. I won't be going back.More

Service is great - accommodating of special requests, fast service and quality food. In fact, the portion size was (almost) too large for lunch. The Bento tray comes with a little of everything... a meat, rice, sushi roll, veggies, and spring rolls. Everything was tasty...and decent quality (but not premium quality). While I say it wasn't the best food ever, it certainly exceeded my expectations for the price I paid, and I have returned 2-3 times since my initial visit. Only area of concerns was that the Bento wasn't always consistent with what I got - sometimes it included mixed/grilled veggies, other times salad. I plan to return again.More

This is pretty awesome sushi, and the owner is very kind and helpful with any questions you have. I can't believe I just found out about this place and it's so close to where I live. I will be back often!

The food here is good and reasonably priced, but I rate this highly because of the friendly staff,bright atmosphere and crisp clean appearance. The Bento Box is a good value with a combination of teryaki, fresh vegetable, spring roll and california roll. It is fast...food and there are probably not as many sushi choices/varieties as one might find at a more complete sushi bar. The staff is very friendly and helpful.More

I got a take out bento box for dinner on Monday night. Chicken teriyaki, spring roll and a few pieces of California roll. The food was good, but nothing special. I'll try the ramen next time I go.

Fabulous new restaurant with absolutely fresh, quality ingredients! I liked the Bento House box which includes teriyaki, California Roll- wonderful! Sushi and Sashimi made to order and fresh! Bento Ramen is not to be missed - warm broth soup and noodles hits the spot this...time of year. Service is outstanding and they even bring food to your table after you order complimentary (no tip required).More
