2023-03-18 21:23:48I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The beef bento was so tasty. Especially the chicken karaage was one of the best Ive ever had, and was crispy as well as chewy. I highly recommend to try it!!! Also, the owners are so nice and kind :)

2023-03-19 08:56:47Honestly… by far THE best Karaage (fried chicken) Bento I’ve ever had in my life! A perfect combination of crispy, crunchy coating outside and juicy, tender chicken inside! Amazingly flavorful!Beef Bento and Musubi were absolutely tasty as well! (Can’t wait to try more of their menu and I am sure any will impress me.)Decently generous portions for such affordable prices as well — This place is really a bargain!Also, the owners are wonderfully nice and friendly. Overall, this place is certainly one of my favorite spots in this area. Would definitely recommend to anyone without the slightest hesitation!

2019-05-31 01:24:32Excellent food. I ordered the beef bento. The balance of salty meat with starchy rice (and a thin layer of cabbage in between) was very good. I also ordered the spam musubi. Ill admit it was wrapped differently than Im used to but I got more for my buck because of that. I will definitely come back to try the pork and chicken bento. And they have a spicy tuna musubi that looked very interesting.

2023-01-03 03:12:57This is one of my favorite places foodwise but drives me nuts because it is never open for business — and if they are open, they are often “out of eggs” and can’t make their best items. My family and I have even considered bringing in eggs with us when we order to try to help them out.

2023-01-17 20:17:28They are always friendly and helpful. He brings my food to my car after Ive ordered. The gyu don is always tasty and I tried the buta don this time and it is tasty as well. But my favorite is still the chicken karaage. The tuna and ebi (shrimp) musubis are like a whole meal by itself.

2019-07-16 02:38:02Wonderfully kind people, amazing food, good price, small menu and the food is just wonderful. A tiny place with cute art in front that made me want to visit and I love the food now! Just moved here and its become a go to food place for me and my family. The chicken is crunchy and delicious, the pork is soft and sweet and satisfies all my taste buds! I havent tried the beef yet because Ive been stuck on those two. Thank you so much for being you!

2022-05-14 20:01:01Formerly Falafel Shack in yesteryears, Maruichi Bento is a takeout only spot, since its, quite literally, a hole in the wall. A simple menu, consisting of assorted musubi and their specialty bentos. Choice of protein for the bentos are beef, pork, or what I ordered, chicken.Chicken karaage bento-Wow! Theres something about that breading. Crispy, crunchy coating, surrounding delicious, juicy chicken thigh meat. I found the amount of chicken reasonable. The cabbage came w/o dressing. I assume the lemon slice was meant to be the dressing, but I used a bit of the included karaage sauce to alleviate the dry cabbage.Calling in orders is the preferred method of ordering, as there will be a wait. Customers can wait in their cars, and the staff will bring their orders out to them.Service was okay. As a walk-in, I was told my order would take about 20-25 minutes, which was fine, since I was headed over to Pampangas Bakery. Meaning to have a quick lunch w/ the top of the nearby 7-Eleven trash bin as my dining table, I picked my food earlier than anticipated, only to find out utensils werent provided. I came back to pick them up, and when I arrived back at my dining table, I noticed no sauce was included. Again, I had to come back. Minor inconveniences, since I was a few doors down, in front of the 7-Eleven. However, if I took my order home, not having the karaage sauce wouldve been a buzzkill.Parking is via a small shared lot. Mariuchi Bento is located on the right of Dominos Pizza, at the 7-Eleven plaza.Minor guffaws, notwithstanding, I immensely enjoyed Mariuchi Bentos chicken karaage. The succulent chicken was on point, and I was happy with the lunch I had. Im looking forward to coming back and trying their beef & pork bentos.

2019-05-24 20:27:20I have been coming here for a while and I do like this place... Owners/employees are really really quiet n mellow and smiles sheepishly. Limited menu but all are good. Including mushubis. Beef or pork sometimes can be little too sweet for my taste but I think it should be fine for most people. Their chicken is my favorite. Light and crispy and crunchy. Today I asked them for less rice and more cabbage and they did a great job. they also came me free iced green tea which is refreshing. One of the disappointment is they cloae on Sunday which is great for them. I believe they go to church but I missed them on Sunday if I am looking for simple fare and good. I hope they stick around for a long tome to come.

2018-12-07 01:07:01I come here for lunch very often and love it every single time. The owners and employees are so nice and very attentive to the customers needs. Food is always delicious and I never get booted of ordering the same thing twice. I would highly recommend coming here and trying everything on the menu!
