This was my first ever experience of Japanese & Thai cuisine and i can say it was a nice experience 🙂
Bento cafe outlet, which i visited is located in food court of DLF Mall of India in Noida. It (Bento) means lunch box in Japanese.
The cafe have very simple menu with less but sufficient variety, mainly Asian (Japanese, Thai) cuisine. We ordered Tempura sushi, Dimsum, Bento box, Sizzler with unlimited cold drinks.
Tempura Sushi was a mixture of tempura and sushi. Tempura is a Japanese dish which is fried in a batter and sushi is a roll made up of sticky rice. The dish was served with soya sauce and dressing.
All in all the mix of these two separate dish was yummy with crunchiness of tempura and a sour taste of sauce spread over the dish.
Dimsum is a Chinese dish which is fondly known as momos in India. It was soft and good in taste.
Although Bento Box is a complete lunch box with gravy, noddles/rice and Thai salad (som tum) but we further upgraded our bento with spring rolls and cold drink.
One can select gravy and noodles/rice for there bento box. I chose Thai red curry and udon noodles (wheat noodles) for my bento box. We liked everything in the box except for Thai red curry, we didn’t liked it much.
In Sizzler we had hakka noodles, veg manchrian, spring rolls, french fries, Thai salad (som tum) with unlimited drinks.
One can again choose the gravy and noodles/rice for sizzler. This was tasty and can definitely be tried at the outlet/restaurant.
To conclude, the place could be visited if you want to try out some new cuisine or even if you are looking for some regular Chinese food.
