Lots of Yelpers seem to be talking about the sushi buffet at MBAD, and I'm sure it's good, but i can't testify. What I can rave about is their signature bento combos. Delicious and cheap? I'm in!
You get your choice of protein, and of starch as well as soup or salad and a baby egg roll. Me, I'm a huge fan of the tofu (which is usually not my fav) and veggies in Kung Pao sauce w/ brown rice and salad w/ ginger dressing.
Do you see how much food that is? Cost? $6.75. I split it over two days bringing my lunch costs to under three fifty.
The staff is always friendly and my takeout always comes out quickly. If I had to voice one complaint it is that the salad is about 98% iceburg lettuce and 2% tomato,cucumber & carrot, but honestly, it all ends up tasting like ginger dressing (though you can get ranch if you like) and it lasts overnight in my work fridge, so I'm not griping.
My Bento Asian Diner is a quality spot to pick up legit food for lunch. It has vegetables in it even! And don't forget to ring the gong by the door if you are happy with your experience.
