The Place
So, we hit up Bento in Rataje today to kick off our newest project—touring 10 sushi spots scattered across the city. Bento was first on the list, and it’s just a quick ride from Rondo Rataje. If you’re bus-bound, grab the 184 or 152, hop off at the Dziadoszańska stop, and boom—you’re there in like 100 meters. Check our first write-up we made about Bento on this link.
Our Top Three dishes for Autumn
We went in hard, tried a bunch of dishes, and let’s just say—you won’t be disappointed. But if you’re feeling lazy and can’t be bothered to leave the couch, no worries—they’ve got online orders locked down. We’re dropping our top three must-tries for this Autumn season, and you can thank us later.
1. Kraken Roll – 49 PLN
Octopus. Shitake Mushrooms. Oshinko. Mayo Tobico. Batata Chips. Kizami Wasabi. Sounds wild? It is. This roll hits you with a burst of flavors, from the chewy octopus to the crunch of those batata chips, with that spicy-sweet kick from the wasabi to bring it home. This one’s bold, it’s rich, and it’s a perfect choice if you’re after something that stands out.
2. Beef Bouillon with Shrimp Tempura – 31 PLN
Now, this is a game-changer for your starter lineup. Think rich, warm beef bouillon that’s perfect for these colder days, with a crispy shrimp tempura dunked right in for that extra hit of texture. It’s got that umami-packed depth, and honestly, for 31 PLN? It’s a solid start to your meal.
3. Udon Hoisin with Chicken – 35 PLN
Not feeling sushi? No problem. This dish is a vibe. You’ve got your tender chicken, fat udon noodles, crunchy edamame, fresh veggies like carrots and spinach, with mung sprouts, sesame, cilantro, and chives sprinkled in for flavor. The Hoisin sauce pulls it all together with that sweet and savory punch. And for 35 PLN? It’s a bang for your buck and leaves you full and satisfied.
The Verdict:
Whether you’re in Rataje or just passing through, Bento should be on your radar. Can’t make it? Order online! Delivery’s between 5 and 17 PLN depending on how far you are, and they deliver themselves—so you know your food’s arriving fresh, not tossed around. Either way, this spot’s worth a try, and we’ll definitely be back soon to break down our favorite sushi rolls.
