JapanBargain 1592, Red and Gold Japanese Traditional Plastic Lacquered Lunch Bento Box 5 Compartments for Restaurant or Home Tray and Plate 2pc Set Made in Japan, 11.75"x9.5"

Very good, well made, exactly as advertised

First of all, let me just say that I was not expecting this to be a serving size tray. It's big, it's beautiful and even though I made the mistake of thinking that it could be used as a portion control tray for my dinner meal, I still like it. It would definitely not serve as a meal tray for one person. It definitely is a serving tray size to arrange food on it and serve to people. Again, this mistake is no fault to anyone (Amazon or Seller) but myself. I will use it at some point (I do make sushi frequently) but for the purpose of what I was looking for, I will probably have to get an actual bento box. I will say that this tray is more beautiful in person than the picture shows on the listing. Even with my mistake, I still give this a 5 star rating because it is a beautiful item.

( DOES NOT INCLUDE A LID ) I bought it thinking it'd be a smaller size lunch box but I was disappointed to find out that it is a huge tray with no lid. Works well as a plate and looks good. That's all its got going for it.

The quality and sturdiness of this bento box was impressive for the price. I gave it as a gift and was very picky about which one to purchase. It didn't have that cheap plastic feel I was expecting. I own very many authentic Japanese lacquerware but wanted to purchase something less expensive and more practical for every day use. I was very pleased with this and the recipient of the item was very happy too.

Perfect for the bento box experience. Where's the furoshiki? Love to do either Hawaii or Japan style special at an otherwise regular picnic or outing. These are not to be confused with the functionally efficient, spill-proof, camping/backpacking, pack-your-quickie lunch (though there are now small bento style lunch boxes that do have spill-proof plastic covers). These are affordable plastic versions of historic picnic boxes made of wood and lacquered with sometimes exotic precious elements and exquisite art--mostly in collections now. Have had some great lunches with these but takes planning and preparation. There are great bento box cookbooks that include simple and easy recipes. I like to cook some of my own dishes that are bento winners and buy some at a Japanese market. They are special.

We make sushi and japanese foods at home and these add to the experience for the kids making them feel like we are in a restaurant. They are a little large to store in the cabinets and I have yet to find a place for them.

many compliments from our guests. just what the doctor ordered.

I bought 6 of these obento boxes for a Japanese dinner. I didn’t want to pay a fortune so these were reasonably priced. I was delighted when I saw the quality... just like a Japanese restaurant. Some reviews say they look cheap and plastic but for the price I thought they looked good. Who is going to expect real lacquered boxes which would cost a fortune? The bonus is these are MADE IN JAPAN not China! I’m happy!
