The main downfall for me for this place is that I don't live close enough to walk to Bento every day. Sad. In terms of affordability, qualitfy of food, atmosphere, and fun, Bento is perfect! It's very casual, laid back, and very reasonably priced compared to other Korean food places in the area. Also...jalf price sushi all the time every day! Basically it makes you feel like you're getting an awesome deal...and for me, it works.
My favorites are the Dolsot Bibimbap, and being Korean, that has to mean something. You can't go wrong with the spicy pork dish or the Kalbi.
Enjoy!
Decent Korean food near UC's campus
Pros:
1. Pretty reasonably priced compared to the other korean restaurants in Cincy
2. Service staff is friendly
3. I enjoy their hot stone bowl's as well as their bulgogi
Cons:
1. It's an interesting atmosphere, somewhere between casual and fancy, didn't work for me
2. While the service staff is friendly, service is definitely slow
We weren't sure when we first arrived even though this restaurant had a  really good review on Yelp.  The decor is fine but still "evolving."  We decided to venture in and we were very happy we did.  We had bibimbap, dupbap, and gimbap.  We were just there last night and I am craving the bibimbap already.  This was excellent food for the price.  The service is also great.
Review Source:The affordable bento options at this small Korean restaurant are perfect for lunch or dinner.
My favorite sides were the gyoza and fried sweet potato. While the bulgogi wasn't as good as Tea n' Bowl across the street, it was still quite yummy. I will return to try more of the entrees.
I ate at this delicious restaurant with my husband and my dish was a fabulous as when my mom makes it at home! I had bulgogi and the portion was perfect. The meat and sauce were absolutely delicious! My husband had a seafood dish (served Ina hot stone bowl) and he loved it as well. Both meals were served with three small sides (kimchi being one of them). The prices are SO reasonable. Definitely a place I will go back to again.
Review Source:Ok, so this isn't the best Korean food I've ever had. But it's pretty good, cheap, the people are nice, the place is clean and well-decorated, and it's awesome to have an option near UC that doesn't involve burritos and may even involve vegetables depending on what you get.
I'll be going back there again one of these days when I'm stuck on campus for a long time.
I really like this place. While the food may not be top notch, it's good enough. Service is friendly, and they let me call ahead so that my food is ready by the time i make it over from east campus.
Update: It seems that they have raised their prices about a dollar per entree and no longer include miso soup. On the other hand, it seems like they now offer stone bowl dishes.
I love Bento.
For some reason I always forget that it is there.
Every time I have gone in there we have been the only people there. Which is sad to see because they are so sweet and the food is great. Especially for the price. 7.99 for a dinner bento box. That is UNHEARD OF! I always get the Bulgogi which is thinly sliced beef. You get a large amount of meat plus the sides, which include a variety of selections. Along with white rice and Miso. I do not like Miso soup so I never eat it.
My daughter had the chicken and I tried a bite it was also very tasty. I must remember to go here often.
I really, really wanted to like this restaurant. Â I love most of the things they might have served, but what I got was...lackluster, to say the least. Â The restaurant is dingy, and slightly off-putting, but the guys working there were incredibly friendly...I even kind of dont' want to write about how bad the food ws because I liked them so much, but as a service to the internet, here we go:
I got the fish bento. Â yeah yeah, why'd you get that, I don't know, OK? Â It just felt right, but what I got were essentially fish nuggets with honey mustard on top. Â AND THEY WERE THE MOST DELECTABLE THING IN THE BENTO. Â plain white rice was a close second. Â the miso soup was seriously inedible, howdya do that? Â it's like salt and water, hard to F up. Â There were some fried, yet cold tiny dumlings, and a lone fried, yet cold (?) sweet potato slice. Â Some slimy cucumber salad with some bean sprouts. Â The kimchi was ok. Â My friend, a recent return from Korea, said the bibimbap was decent. Â So...what I'm saying here is avoid the bento at bento. Â A bit strange. Â A bit bad. Â Not going back.
