Japanese Style Bento Box Lunchbox with Chopsticks

This bento box has become the envy of my co-workers at lunch. I absolutely love it.Pros: This bento is very compact. It has two levels which are seperated by a white plastic cover. The top level has a removal divider which is useful when you have foods of differing sizes. Inside the lid is a pair of white chopsticks which are great b/c they keep you from constantly searching for utensils.Cons: It is not microwave safe. If you are a bigger eater, I'd advise you to get a bigger bento. To give you and idea on the size: on the bottom level I can fit a small plate of spaghetti, or small chicken breasts, or one medium sized burritto. The top layer, I typically use for things like a small package of baby carrots, pretzels, grapes, sliced mangoes, a very small salad (bigger if you take out the divider). Also should you try to cram too much inside, the lid will not lock properly or it will smoosh your food stuffs in the top level. I emphasize that this is only if you try to put too much in there.Overall, if you are a bento fan, this is very well the bento for you. I'd also recommend this to bento beginners and dieters as it works well for portion control.

This slick bento box is generously sized for adult use, and includes two long compartments and a divider for one of them. The plastic washes easily and doesn't hold odors, even when it has to sit in my locker at work for several hours and then ride home with me. The lid has a snap-open compartment on top that holds a pair of chop sticks. I don't like the ones it comes with as they are plastic and so slick they are difficult to use to eat some foods, but it's not too hard to find shorter wooden ones that also fit in the lid (but most of your regular-sized chop sticks will be too long). You must be careful about how full the containers are or the lid won't snap on right, but that's really more an issue with the shape of your food than with space in general as there's ample room here for generous portions for adults.

I got this bento box a little while back, and let me just say, it's become my favorite. While it looks small at first, I was really surprised to see how much it could actually hold. The little tier divider in the top works perfectly, and doesn't let any liquids seep through to the other side. The clasps on the side are sturdy, but they make the box a little hard to open. The included chopsticks have a nice texture to them, but the do feel a bit small sometimes. The compartment in which they are stored in is also a little hard to open- sometimes I felt like I was going to snap it off completely, but it's stayed securely on the lid.The color is a nice sleek black, but the lid of the chopstick compartment is prone to taking fingerprints- which isn't a big deal really, but it's a little weird.All in all, despite being a little hard to open, it does exactly what I want it to do, and it's one of the best bento boxes I've ever used.

My oldest son just didn't have enough room in his school bag for a regular lunch box, so I got him one of these. It slid perfectly between the 40 pounds of books he seemed to haul about. On those days that the school lunch is too nasty to contemplate, I can squeeze a thin wrap sandwich with a narrow ice pack next to it and a couple of different snacks (goldfish & 2 oreos) in the second compartment. It worked so well that we got a second one. After 4 years, we have lost the cover of the chopstick compartment on one of the boxes but since he never used them, he is okay with it.

This is a great bento. It holds a surprisingly large amount of food; some days I can't finish the entire lunch I packed. The lid snaps tightly and securely - It has never popped open on its own. I've never had any leakage issues, though I've never tried packing incredibly wet/saucy foods.As one reviewer mentioned the lid can smash your top layer if you pack it too high. I usually bring one hard boiled egg with me, and a large (American) egg will get smashed in either compartment.The built-in chopstick compartment and chopsticks themselves are wonderful. I usually roll the chopsticks in a few napkins, so I'll have them when I need them.

I don't like eating huge American portions of lunch, so when I received this in the mail, I was impressed with the size. Two good-sized tiers for salad and veggies in one and noodles or fried rice in the other. The hidden chopsticks is pretty nice too.The only problem I have with this box is that you have to fuss with it to get it to snap together properly. Also, it is a bit tedious to clean.

This is a great little box. Don't be fooled, it can fit a good amount. As an adult, I got a very happy lunch in it. The chopsticks are plastic (included in the top part) and I never used them. I don't like plastic chopsticks - slippery. You have a divider on the top level and the second level is deeper.I would not 100% trust transporting a liquid or salad dressing in this box. It might leak. Also, make sure you snap it closed at the side. I found, with use, it got easier to close it. Not sure how that works, but, still good.Anyhow, you would have to cut a sandwich up into strips to fit it. Maybe that is a draw back. Sometimes you have to get creative with fitting your foods in there because it is long.My diet doesn't include salad dressing, I don't like soup and I don't do sandwiches. Just something to keep in mind.However, I totally recommend this box.

Bought two of these for my husband and I to use. Great for portion control. I have a cafeteria at work, but if I eat there, I eat too much. This has the right amount to hold me over until dinnertime. We've had no issues with using a microwave with the bento boxes. Like others have said, it is not water-tight, so not for soup or thin sauces. Both of us have begun to lose weight now that we are eating healthier. We make our lunches around the same time as dinner. I usually have rice in the bottom compartment and have tortellini/chicken nuggets and carrots in the top compartment. I love showing it off to co-workers and they love it.
