    The tasting menu here was delicious! Everything we ate was unique from the muscles, to egg rolls to chicken over noodles! Yum!!!

    Visiting The Bento Box may require all kinds of qualifications and explanations, but enjoying the food is, fortunately, a carefree experience.

    Try the soup from our 100 Best list: Rick Spiros’s herbaceous, spicy broths, such as this take on Vietnamese pho (we tried it with short ribs—now it’s made with braised brisket) are life-sustaining.

    The lime curry mussles are great! They give you enough broth to pour over rice too!!
