Bento-ya Iyasume



so again, trying to figure out where to eat for lunch. i've always wanted to try this bento place next door to one of my favs, tokkuri tei. you get to pick from about 20 different combinations of bento. the place was pretty busy so we thought must be good! kinda small, only can seat about 10 people max. i ordered the garlic fried chicken and a friend ordered the shrimp tempura. you get to pick your own sides (1 for mini and 2 for regular size) and all bento come with miso soup! our sides were potato salad and hijiki and miso nasubi (eggplant) and kinpira gobo. it's a good size bento for the the price ($7.50-$8.00). i wish the sauce for the garlic fried chicken were a little more sweet. i was very surprised that the chicken had very little fat. i think they spend the time trimming the fat before cooking. i always find myself sifting through the pieces separating the fat from meat. this place was okay, but will be back to give it another try. cheers!
