If you're in the area, make your way here. Hopefully there will be seating outside as it's a nice place to stop and chat
We dropped in to Bento Factory for lunch, and ordered yaki udon, Korean fried rice and tofu bao. The food was all great, especially the fried rice. My only comment is maybe a breaded tofu cutlet in the bao would be even nicer as the tofu has a similar texture to the bun itself. The coffee with tapioca was very tasty, and is worth trying for sure. We didn't have dessert but they all looked incredible and we'll be back to try them out.
The cafe was fairly busy, but there was a very long wait for our food. We were warned it would be 20 minutes but it was well over 40 minutes. It seemed there was quite a few delivery orders which came and went before we got our food, but personally we feel priority should go to the tables in the restaurant.
The place is quite small, so you may have to wait for a table. If there's one outside it's worth shotgunning it to save someone else nicking it while you're ordering.
I love visiting Bento Factory so much. The vegan brownie and korean fried rice is AMAZING! The chef is very talented👏🏻 The service is also 5star ☺️
