The Art of the Bento
A bento (弁当) is a single-portion meal packed into a compartmentalised box. In Japan, bentos are an art form — mothers spend hours crafting character bentos (kyaraben) for their children, and train stations sell ekiben (station bentos) that showcase regional specialties.
At Teriyaki Express, we keep it simple but generous. Our bentos are designed to give you a balanced, satisfying lunch that covers all the bases — protein, rice, vegetables, and a little something sweet.

Why a Bento Beats a Sandwich
When you're working in the Perth CBD, lunch options are everywhere — but most are variations of the same sandwich or salad. A bento is different. It's a complete, balanced meal with variety built in. You get your protein, your carbs, your greens, and your fruit — all in one box, ready to eat.
It's also the best value. A bento gives you five components for the price of one dish at most restaurants. If you're looking for the best lunch deal in Raine Square, this is it.
