Bento Sushi - Winnipeg

We were a party of four. One person’s meal wasn’t too good and she mentioned it to the server, who apologized and took 25% off the bill. My meal also wasn’t very good. The crispy fries and salad were nice, but the blackened chicken and ribs were both very dry and overdone. I didn’t say anything because our companion had already mentioned hers and got a discount, so I don’t want it to seem like we were just complainers. We had purchased a gift card for our companions’ wedding and it didn’t register as valid. The manager did deal with it and gave us the credit, so we didn’t have to go through the hassle of getting our credit card statement to verify the purchase. It worked out, however, it could have been very embarrassing if our companions had come by themselves and were told the card wasn’t valid. The server was very good and the meals were prompt. The manager seemed genuinely concerned about making sure things were right, but they have a bit of work to do on the food quality end. All staff were very friendly.

I brought a women’s group here for lunch that consisted of 14 people. We had the most amazing table in the far end of the restaurant portion of this establishment and it was very bright and private. The restaurant is very hip and modern. Everybody seemed to be very happy with their food and I was thrilled with my curry chickpea soup and garlic bread. Some of the ladies mentioned that the dishes were spicy, so maybe ask for less spice if you don’t enjoy that. I, personally, really enjoyed the spice in my soup. Sierra took care of us really well and the lunch was a great success!

We have visited a few times and it’s always been great. The house made drinks put together by bar tenders and managers were a massive hit. So creative and so good. Food always great. It’s not the biggest place so it gets loud especially in lounge on weekends. Reservations recommended. Servers always have been really good too.

Ordered the charcuterie and they brought it out within a minute. The prosciutto looked off so we didn’t eat it. The bread was so dry and no jelly or mustard. Also we then realized the board was sitting a while in the fridge and the bread tasted like it soaked up smells from the fridge. Explains why it came out right away. I ordered a bloc salad for my main and all it was was spring mix and ranch dressing. Got a piece of salmon and it was extremely dry. Won’t be going back.

We came for dinner on December 10th, 2022. The restaurant was busy so that has to be taken into consideration. However service was VERY slow. I asked for water and got it maybe 15 minutes later. For water that's much too long of a wait. Then all of our meals were wrong. Missing sides, steaks cooked improperly. The meals also came out so staggered that by the time the last person got their meal the first was already done eating.... Overall, we would not return.
