Nolbu Bento Express

when i’m on a budget, gianna’s is my place to go! their bento boxes are so affordable & delicious. my favorite is the #11 (stir fried octopus). the portions may seem small, but i often do not finish it. the bento boxes come with multiple mini side dishes like fish cake, beans, broccoli, etc. it also comes with a small bowl of miso soup, yes! all their bento boxes are $10, so you’re getting that much worth of food…maybe more, you decide that 😋

Surprising gem, hidden in Hmart. The rice was perfectly cooked; the fried chicken tenders were worth the wait. The beef bulogi was soo tender and sweet. Great value for the price.

This restaurant is located in H Mart Carrollton and it caught my eye. I realized after I ordered that there were some Korean dishes that I should have gotten rather than the typical ramen. In a way, I wish I had grabbed the chicken bulgogi or chicken galbi (spicy stir-fried chicken). Anyways, prior to ordering I asked a few questions about the ramen, waiting time, and ordered a Chicken Shoyu Ramen. For ordering the ramen as takeout, it was decent. I was also provided some pickled radish and kimchi. I liked the pickled radish, but I was not a fan of the kimchi. The kimchi had a fishy taste. I received half an egg in the broth, and there were several pieces of chicken present. The broth seemed very oily too. Maybe it’s because of takeout, but the quality of broth seemed low compared to the price I paid. I wasn’t really full after I ate the ramen. If I decide to go back, I’ll try the chicken galbi or bulgogi as previously stated.

Good affordable bentos. Get the bulgogi one. Located inside H-mart

Spicy grilled pork and squid were delicious 😋

Big portions. Cheap price, can’t go wrong. Bento box came with soup and side dishes. Meat was not as tender as I’m used to but still delicious enough. You get a beeper that buzzes when your order is ready. Drop off your tray at any of the tray carts in the food court area. Will definitely come back and try the rest of the menu.

Came here for a quick lunch and run.. long wait for the food but it wasn’t much impressive and for the wait . The miso soup was pretty salty and unbearable . The beef bulgogi wasn’t well marinated and flavorful . Hope they improve on these matters in the near future.

About a year prior they used to be very consistent in taste of their food as well with quantity and quality. However the last year it has really gone down in all those categories. It's average at best now and it's no longer worth the drive there anymore. Yea sorry I will subtract this off my rotation of places to eat.

That was so bad tonkotsu ramen. And it took so long to get the ramen. The server may not care about customers. I know there is a small restaurant. But the tonkotsu super super bad. I couldn't finish it. Who knows what's kind of tonkotsu bellow

Sub-mediocre tasting food, quantity of food is average and acceptable, ordered the steak bento and the steak was rather flavorless and dry. Kind of pricey.

So I wanted to go to Ajumma across the street to order their Pork Katsu. It was closed on New Year and so I decided to check out the food court in Hmart. So I did a take out order from Gianna’s Bento Express (name Nolbu Bento Express). I order their pork katsu. Well was I disappointed, see the picture. Does that look like Pork Katsu to you? I took one bite and thought I would get very sick from it. It looked like few days left over batter fried pork with I assume fried eggs or the trimmings of the pork that the cooks should had discarded. I did not even bother to eat the rice and their side of soup. I would never go back and to the owner and staff there- I am very disappointed. You should do better than that.

Terrible experience, food came with cockroaches , you can see it on the outside of the plate, when i report it to the guy he offered to just move the soup to another bowl, but the bugs were inside the food… how you would just pour it into another bowl and act like its normal?

My family and I have been coming to hmart to eat and shop for nearly a decade. In fact, I worked at escape for the Kim’s years ago. I have eaten at every restaurant and bento express is normally one we pick and eat from but not this time around. My husband asked this person for a plastic fork for my toddler, I repeat one plastic fork that probably cost them less than 3 cents. He told my husband he could get the fork from where we bought from. Not only am I not coming here again but I will make it known what a despicable person works for this bento place. Just know that when you are working and have people in front of you, you can put your phone down and help them and SMILE.

Extremely poor service...17 m wait for soup...then the soup which was Spinach and shrimp was too spicy to eat...when I complained and showed them picture had Spinach and white soup and mine had red pepper soup and no spinach...answer was this is how we make it...no offer for another item no sorry...

This place has experienced serious shrink flatiron. Used to be my favorite eatery but prices have gone way up while portion size have slimmed down. I used to have 1 1/2 meal, now I won't even get full from one. Super sad, but it's a rip-off and I won't come back until there is a change.

If I can give zero stars, I would. The most unprofessional crew there is. Food was not good and took way too long. After patiently waiting while my friend got their food and almost finished, they gave me a the wrong plate and the lady came all the way to my table and took the food tray away! as if I stole it from her. Also, they don’t give water. They force you to buy.
