Morikawa Bento — a japanese spot in Avondale. The recipes feel handed down, not invented. Omey Rebanal: "Great choice for summer time, the chicken is so juicy"

I ordered Morikawa Bento via delivery app & what an incredible experience! The Makunouchi (Unagi) is easily among the most outstanding I've ever eaten, maybe even the best. Such a delightful presentation and true to the traditional bento & Ekiben forms, where you discover hidden items as you eat & each side dish feels fresher & more delicious than the last. Feels like a very generously-portioned (in case you're doubting the price tag) home cooked meal prepared and packed by someone with a rare amount of intention & care for not just how the food will taste, but how well it will travel. You can feel the that the chef wants your meal to be a joyful experience filled with little surprises. Truly a new favorite meal of mine in the city that I plan to order again and again.

The Nasu Dengaku was amazing!!! Was still hot by the time it arrived. Delivery service was a little time consuming but food was cooked expediently. The sauce for the egg plants were not dry and vegetables had perfect flavor and texture; everything tasted fresh including the korrokes ! Perfect for a last minute dinner plan and my wife enjoyed her pork gyozas ! I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys rice with various and different appeal to sweet and sour ! I would like to recommend this to friends and family. I would order again!

🍱 Eel was delicious and the rice was cooked pretty well. I really enjoyed the Takoyaki as well. The eggplant was cooked well, nice texture.

Order via uber eats. I Ordered tonkatsu cury bento. I was disappointed food was not good. Cury was too many vegetables and barely had sauce on it.

I ordered tonkatsu from delivery app. Pork was terribly SALTY!!!! I can’t even eat a little piece of pork. I try to call them but no one pick up the phone. If you want something good please don’t order pork (tonkatsu)

I just ordered from Morikawa Bento and let me just say I love the goma chicken,it’s my favorite and I also ordered gyoza & karaage they are literally really good. It was also my first time ordering food from there.And I heard that they opened another Morikawa Bento I’m also planning to order from there but,as my first time experience It’s incredible!

I was super impressed with the food. My sukiyaki bento box was perfect and so was the gyoza.
