Bento Action! Talk about going local style language! I am always looking too find more local style food in the ever expanding nine island market. Found another good one! It little different concept then your traditional plate lunch action with two scoops rice, mac salad, and protein. Yet if you look at the menu notice all the staple local food from katsu, teriyaki chicken or beef, curry, mochiko chicken, and more. Then notice they have few Favorites combinations choose from with all kinds of mix plate goodness. The word Bento brings back all the things I miss about the islands but more so the local food. RIce Trax Teriyaki Grill does a wonderful job of bringing me back for the islands. \n\nThe differences is the choices of sides not sure if works the same for the Favorites part of the menu. I choose too do the Trax Box (The Boxes) you get too pick two items from list of 14 items. They also offer three item that called words too my heart \"Bento Box\". I went with both teriyaki beef and teriyaki chicken. The sides they have whole list just for that part of the menu. I keep reading reviews for the kimchi fried rice. I was all over it. Not often find local place that can get kimchi fried rice instead of white or brown rice. Not sure if for all items since was my first time but looking around think all the proteins comes on skewers. Another differences that stood out for me. It might make it easier or harder depended on you. Me say fan because like fact that gives the beef and chicken nice grill char mark on the outside. You really taste the teriyaki marinade all the way from the outside and in. Yet both meat nice moist and cooked perfect. The kimchi fried rice was \"Da Bomb\". I could have ordered just bowl of it and be completely content in life. They added diced zucchini and other vegetables make it ever more hearty fried rice. If want leave those things out. The prices are very very reasonable most of the combinations all under ten dollars. It all made fresh too order.\n\nThe service was excellent. On the way out taking my leftovers and refilling my drink for the road One of the workers notice that could use plastic bag and ask if wanted one. I was fine either way. Just the fact she notice but taking the time too actually help out put it in the bag rather then here a bag. Classy touch.\n\nThe decor is interesting because it had really high ceilings for such small place and just one artwork. Bold colors orange sure if looking for place too brighten ones day this is it! If need visual comes too the menu they have few of them look at. The outside sign could be bigger.. I passed it once since was my first time. \n\nI enjoyed my experience and definitely plan on coming back.
