A quick heads‑up: we’ll soon be moving away from daily menu drops and switching to a weekly menu announced at the start of each week. That way we can use our socials for deeper bento stories, behind‑the‑scenes, and all the fun stuff you’ve been asking for.

If you want first dibs on weekly specials, and surprise items, join our new mailing list on our brand‑new website. TheBentoBar.co.nz

Some of you may have spotted our brand‑new website. We’re slowly shifting toward a weekly “specials wall” — meaning a couple of featured onigiri flavours each week alongside our classic line‑up. Daily drops will eventually get simpler as we settle into the new rhythm.
