Obento

We came since we searched some society website, We don’t know how it can be so many high scores. I can not believe the food is sooooo terrible! We wait more then 2 hours for the chicken curry rice, and can you believe there are some tomatoes and dried mushroom in the curry?!!! WTF??? The BBQ are also extremely not recommended since it’s totally not Chinese taste!!!! And the undos are not traditional Japanese dishes, maybe has been some amazing improved???

Relaxed atmosphere, quick service, good menu. I thoroughly enjoyed a generously sized portion of grilled eel (pictured) served with plentiful rice, and a selection of sashimi fish. No complaints.

Great Japanese! We were enjoying it so much I forgot to take a photo until we were nearly done.
The salmon sashimi was perfect. The maki rolls were really nice.
Portions are good size servings and are good value.
Would come here again.

We organised a karaoke party for a group of 12 year old girls on Sunday afternoon 3 July and they absolutely loved it. It was the only place in town that did karaoke for kids and families.

Our host Ivy made the karaoke room warm and inviting and for the girls it felt really authentic and special. There was plenty of food and drinks included in the price and all of it was delicious. The girls enjoyed singing their favourite songs, eating together and being looked after so well by Ivy and her team.

Whilst the girls enjoyed their space we parents sat downstairs and enjoyed a tasty set menu box. I had the Gyosa with skewered veg and my husband the tempora which was hot and tasty.

The cost per head for the party was good value for money and was very relaxed. Yes there was a 10% service charge which is pretty common now, and we were happy to pay it because we'd received such care and attention to everything.

I'd recommend Obento for family, kids, parties - it's a really fun way to share an experience together with good company and super tasty food.

Thank you to everyone at Obento for making our party so amazing, the girls were raving about it !!!!!

I've included a pic of the set up, this was before I added some party banners, balloons. There is a sunken table lit from beneath which looks great😊

I booked one of the karaoke rooms in this restaurant for my birthday, and had such a great experience! The food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful. 12 of us fit comfortably in the room and everyone had a fun time.

I injured my hand and asked only once to use their restroom to clean a small wound, but they did not allow me, saying that this was supposedly only allowed for customers (in fact, this is my legal right). However, perhaps because of this attitude here on Friday evening an empty hall when all the neighbours rs have no empty seats. I do not recommend these people because only money is important here and there is no kindness. Itsu has much nicer staff.

Obento was the first Japanese restaurant that I ever ate in, 15 years ago. Upon returning to Bristol I was hesitant to return, based on a few negative reviews. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised when I came for a friend’s party in one of the upstairs karaoke rooms.

The staff were professional and attentive, and the food that I had – una don (grilled eel rice), mango fry roll (deep fried fish sushi roll wrapped with mango) and miso soup – was good. Not sure how authentic the mango sushi is but it was still tasty; the unagi was cooked well and had the correct flavour, and the soup hit the spot. The karaoke room was great value – £150 for 3 hours of karaoke and £150 worth of food and drink. So if you spend £150 on food and drink then basically you get the karaoke for free. You could easily fit 10 people in that room, making it very reasonably priced. We had a great time there and I’d love to return for more karaoke and food.

Great place to enjoy Japanese food. Service was quick and waiters are friendly. Highly recommend the Chirashi Don. Will be back soon.
