A tiny, snug, family run Japanese restaurant down a little side street in central Copenhagen. The owners are delightful and the food a real treat. Enjoy!

Stopped here on a quick visit to Copenhagen. Had just a few starters and rolls. Clean quality food with friendly service.

The sushi looked very good and was probably great, but we have had a lot of sushi lately so we ordered the trays with teriyaki salmon and beef. Our choice tasted good but was overpriced. 298 Dkr for a small piece of salmon and raw vegetables (and some mushrooms which were very tasty). Credit cards not accepted, which is not... More

Fab Japanese food served by friendly Japanese people - loved the teriyaki salmon in the bento box. Asahi on tap - what more could you want? They don't take credit cards so make sure you take cash

Small, but very Japanese in a modern way. There was no 'cocktail bar' feel about the place the night I went. The food was the best I've had outside Japan, with excellent service. There is a real sense of pride that the Japanese owners clearly take in the place. The food is cooked by the mother, who taught in a... More

While japanese food outside Japan consist mainly of sushi, this small restaurant in the Vesterbro area has a range of other japanese dishes as well. And contrary to other japanese/sushi restaurants in Scandinavia, which are usually run by chinese people, Bento is 100% true japanese. Outstanding service, yet very japanese! Went there twice in three days, once for lunch, once... More
