Customer Reviews

Highly Overrated
First of all, don't be fooled by its appearance: This is not a Thermos. It will not keep your food warm or cold. For this reason, the instructions say to avoid using it for dairy products, and to consume food withing a few hours.

Second, and perhaps most important, all of the bowls leak. Even the soup bowl, with a screw-on lid and gasket, leaks. The instructions say to always keep Mr. Bento perfectly upright. Try doing that in your car on your commute to work. It's impossible.

In practice, the only thing Mr. Bento is good for arranging your food in pretty ways, so that you can post photos on Flickr. That's not very practical when your yogurt is spoiled not to mention spilled all over the inside of the container. I've since gone back to using a couple of $1 food containers, which at least don't leak. Also, when I put them in the fridge at work, my coworkers don't constantly ask me why I'm taking up valuable fridge space with a Thermos.

I would marry mr. bento <3
I really like Mr. Bento. Yes it takes a little bit of effort to make sure its clean but its a great way to be creative with your lunches and it holds a good amount of food. Since I have started my new job in the hospital, good healthy food fast(believe it or not) is hard to come by. When you are taking care of patients, you don't have time to go down and get your lunch. Mr. Bento saves the day by allowing me to pack what i want and I can eat my lunch without fear of it spoiling. It also allows me to eat multiple small meals during the day which is important for me since I do not have a scheduled lunch hour. The little containers make it easy for me to pack a snack, an appetizer, and main course. Many of my co-workers loved my mr. bento when they first saw it because of its clever design and have in turn purchased their own. I have turned my workplace into a Mr. Bento paradise! Mr. Bento has saved me so much money and unnecessary calories by letting me pack a lunch that is healthy, well rounded and delicious because I cooked it myself. If you have motivation and are organized- GET THE BENTO. =)

Zojirushi Mr. Bento
It came as promised and although the box was a bit worn by the time it got to me, it was still pretty good.
