Bento & Tea Bronx Reviews
If you haven’t been to Bento & Tea yet, you’re missing out! Their refresher drinks are so cute (hello, bear lid 🐻)and taste just as good super fruity and refreshing. I grabbed the regular sushi combo and it was fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot. Cute vibes, great food, 10/10 would go again!
Bento and Tea is amazing. My first time coming was the first I had boba tea. I looked it up on Google and decided to give it a try. I had the Green Tea Lemonade with Strawberry popping boba and also the Passionfruit Green Tea with Strawberry boba as well. Its so good, I highly recommend. I’ve also had the stir fry chicken udon and the chicken udon soup (not in the picture) So far, this is my favorite spot for boba tea. The staff is very quick and efficient. All together for two stir fry’s and two small boba teas were around $45. Check it out :)
First time here and was craving some bubble tea. When I saw that they also sell sushi, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t have high expectations because it’s hard to find a good sushi spot. I ordered the McLean roll and omg I loved it. I also ordered the brown sugar bubble tea, loved that as well. They take their time making the sushi but it was so worth it. Definitely recommend! Now I have a sushi spot close to home that I love. The lady that took my order was also very nice and welcoming.
Delicious bubble tea options and tasty food. Trusty Google Maps helped me find this shop to satisfy my bubble tea craving and I was not disappointed. I ordered some sushi and sushi rolls to accompany my drink and I was not disappointed. Great friendly service, food was prepared quickly and everything tasted great. I'd definitely visit again when I'm in the area.
Just ordered takeout from here, made it before 3pm . Always take advantage of their bento boxes and lunch specials I ordered the Bento Box today and a their fried rice is always a pleaser! Good communication and delivery was extra quick today. I ordered the Volcano roll, the cream cheese inside taste much better than the bagel I had in the morning. I also treat myself to their boba tea you can ask for different sugar levels if you don’t like it too sweet, I recommend the kiwi green tea and strawberry milk tea with strawberry popping! Quality seems pretty good, overall a good experience.
Bento and Tea is an absolute gem of a local boba shop! Every visit here is a delightful experience. The customer service is top-notch. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help with any questions or recommendations. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers. The food is consistently delicious. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or a full meal, the quality and taste are always impressive. The boba drinks are especially fantastic, with a wide variety of flavors that never disappoint. On top of all this, the service is impressively fast. Even during busy times, they manage to keep things moving smoothly, ensuring you get your order quickly without compromising on quality. Overall, Bento and Tea is a standout spot that I highly recommend. Great customer service, delicious food, and fast service make it a favorite of mine!

Lots of fun and tasty options. The tea tastes great and the cups are cute. The sushi tastes fresh and the portions are good. If you want just a snack or a full meal they got you. The music is always nice and it's a relaxed environment.
My Favorite place to grab sushi and Boba. Their signature McClean Roll is soooo good! Pair that with the passion fruit green tea and you have yourself a fantastic meal. Duck buns are also good!
This is my 3rd time ordering fruit tea boba from Bento & Tea off UberEats. The price I always pay is not more than $11. I always get the large Passion Fruit Green Tea w/ jelly boba, less ice, lychee boba, and sometimes 25 or 50% sugar. It’s so amazing and refreshing. The chewy boba is not too sweet or bitter/bland. The lime they put inside makes it less sugary and I love that. Honestly if you’re looking for something that doesn’t spike your sugar levels this is it. Just request for 30% sugar. Do I recommend? Yes yes and yes. 10/10😍

This was a nice spot to get sushi and boba! I loved how the interior looked and the food is amazing. I'll be ordering from here a lot more. I got the volcano roll which was to die for and their brown sugar milk tea hit the spot right after.
The guy in the first took my order for the mango summer slush with red bubbles and he made the drink with tapioca and when I said this isn't what I asked for, he said yes you did and bf told him I asked for the red bubbles not tapioca. So he told me I was waiting and he was going to make it over but we were already waiting over 30 mins for 2 avocado rolls and 2 drinks 😖😴 When will my order was ready to go he had a attitude problem for a mistake he made Overall besides the guy everything was going perfectly June 18, 2025 Had an amazing experience and the service was on point
The boba tea was made very quickly, and tasted very yummy. I just feel the guy at the sushi bar was very indifferent didn't say anything when I walked in, was just on his phone and seemed annoyed the moment I walked in. Some other worker came in from the back and attended to me, he was polite and quick to make my drink orders. Next time I'll order sushi, hopefully that guy will be in a better mood next time.
edit: i initially gave this store a low rating because of my experience below. but i will now change it to a 4 star because i went there 2 more times and the service was fast. customer service is okay but the boba was tasty. one tip: put less soy sauce / salt in the stir fried noodles previous review: I always used to come here but will no longer give them my business. Spent $100 on the worst noodles and boba I’ve ever had. Lady in the front desk was so extremely rude and off putting. The shrimp noodles were so salty that I could not consume them while the boba was so insanely sweet. It honestly felt like a prank. I was so hungry but did not finish eating because it was so terrible. I hate leaving small businesses bad reviews but the behavior and the food tonight definitely warrants it. Waste of my money because no one is going to eat any of this but at least I know to avoid this store for next time. You’re better off purchasing food and boba from Tomo, which is only a few blocks away. Their noodles are extremely tasty and the workers are so nice! I wish I went there instead.

To keep it simple, the drinks are okay but the food was very disappointing. We got salmon and tuna tartar. They were completely unseasoned and flavorless. The poke bowl was exactly the same. Spicy salmon rolls had no flavor either. The food was just a massive waste of money.

Staff was alright, and the shop had a nice cozy atmosphere. I ordered a hand roll, bubble tea and udon. The hand roll was extremely tiny and flavorless. The udon was also flavorless and extremely lacking in size. The bubble tea made up for it, but they barely put any boba inside. I would only come here for boba because the food was most definitely not worth the almost $20 I paid for it.
Poke bowl came with completly avacado which they tried to cover with spicy mayo(not supposed to be on there). Portion of salmon was TINY and they didn’t follow instructions to not include parts of dish (probably because there’s so little of the stuff you actually want in this.
(There are pictures below to prove my statements) I had just received my order to my surprise the order was not correct. I ordered the lunch spenical of SPICY salmon , SPICY tuna and shrimp tempura roll ,that had no shrimp In it except for one. The order that I received was plain (non spicy ) salmon rolls and the tempura rolls that had soy sauce sauce spilled all over all of them, and only one of them had shrimp in it. Worst experience ever .so I called and them put me on hold for 30 min saying they would give me a number to send pictures to show proof it was wrong and to see the what the order looked like . So I hung up and recalled since it was a while I was on hold and he changed his story and said he was trying to find the women mean while she’s is always in the front and they are extremely close at all times . I did not want to post this review but they handled this horribly. They didn’t offer to remake my order or give me a refund . The women also gave me a small bobba instead of a large, which was the only thing that she fixed but once I got home and saw my food was wrong at the end. I just got hung up on.
I rarely post negative reviews. It bothered me that I couldn’t like this place. They have some amazing reviews and I thought it would be a hit. If it wasn’t for the bubble tea I’d be furious. The bubble tea was great. You could taste the tea. It didn’t taste like sugar water. The fruit flavors were prominent. The boba was tender. We ordered the passion fruit with boba and the lychee slush and the grapefruit. All of which were absolutely wonderful. I would go back for the tea alone. The food on the other hand was underwhelming. Firstly my husband nearly cracked one of his teeth and swallowed a small metal ball which was in the white rice served with the chicken teriyaki. There were 3 of them in the small container mixed in the rice. After having bit into one and swallowing it the second one he spit out to figure out what it is. I immediately called the store to inform them. The person who answered the phone said there’s nothing in the restaurant like that. Asked me to send pictures. I did. And he said they would give me a credit for when I come back next time. I don’t plan to. Finding unidentified metal in our food was beyond upsetting and I have 2 small children (5 and 1) who were eating the food too. Imagine if my husband’s tooth had broken or the kids ingested the metal. Thankfully he hasn’t had an adverse reaction as it’s 3 days later and so far he’s good. But this is unacceptable. The taste of the food was bland. Nothing I’d want to go back for. We had chicken teriyaki bento boxes 3 of them and a teriyaki dinner which is just double the chicken with no sushi or dumplings. For spending over $120 at this store to having our dinner ruined with metal found it was not a good experience. They only refunded one meal to compensate for the metal. I didn’t argue further but no concern was expressed for me telling them what happened. Not even a sorry. The immediate reaction was there is nothing here that could be in the food. But we didn’t put it there so how did it get There? Then We found a hair in the popcorn chicken that my 1 year old was eating. I didn’t even call back because it would make no difference they’d reluctantly give me $7 back. They can keep it. I’ll avoid the stress of calling and sending photos and feeling like I’m being called a liar. Won’t be going back. Very upset with the situation.

Stopped in craving a bubble tea. The menu looked solid, but when I went to pay, I was told there’s a $10 credit card minimum—for a drink that costs $7. I politely declined, expecting at least a reaction or some effort to accommodate. Instead, the cashier just shrugged. No “sorry,” no alternative, no interest in keeping a customer. That kind of indifference kills small businesses faster than competition ever will. You can have the best drinks in the world, but if your customer experience says “we don’t care,” people remember that. I walked out without the tea and won’t be back.
