Gill Out: Bento Café

NSU is a unique and lively campus, but that doesn’t mean Sharks can’t band together and take an afternoon to explore the South Florida area — even if that just means finding a quaint place to study.

If you’re tired of on campus food and are looking for a casual place to eat near campus, you can check out Bento Café in the Davie Tower Shops plaza. With delicious food, great prices and a relaxing environment to chill with your friends, do some schoolwork or sit back and relax, Bento Café is the place to go.

Bento Café is a local chain serving Pan-Asian cuisine, including sushi and grilled fare, in a modern setting. The welcoming atmosphere, interior and, most importantly, the food will make you want to come back again and again.

The menu is the same at all times for lunch and dinner. People are drawn to this café because of all of the options to customize your own food selections. For those who love spice, Bento Café cooks your food to taste by adding ingredients upon your request for “mild, medium, spicy or x3 spicy” menu items. Additionally, Bento Café is known for their “Bento Box,” where you choose all the different entrées that you wish to try from the menu and it is put together and presented in a box-like tray. Moreover, those who wish to monitor their food calorie consumption will appreciate that the menu includes the calories of each dish.

Thinking about Bento Café may make your mouth water. You can try ordering the spicy cream chicken bowl with brown rice. The chicken is cooked with a sweet and sour crust on the outside and served with seasoned asparagus and brown rice. But, with the enormous variety Bento Café has to offer, anyone can find his or her new favorite type of food.

This café also offers bubble tea, with up to 25 different flavors and toppings to choose from. Some flavors to try are the strawberry, banana or the peanut butter bubble tea with the regular flavored tapioca.
