Description:
Bento is a Japanese street food and izakaya-style spot on Merrion Street, serving sushi, ramen, donburi, katsu curry, dumplings, karaage, udon and plenty of casual Japanese comfort food. It is relaxed, cosy and properly handy for lunch, dinner or a pre-arena bite, with the kind of menu that makes “I’ll just get one thing” completely unrealistic.

​

Good for:
Japanese street food, sushi, ramen, katsu curry, donburi, dumplings, casual lunches, pre-arena food, relaxed dinners, comfort food

Nearby:
Merrion Street · The Merrion Centre · First Direct Arena · Leeds Grand Theatre · The Grand Arcade · The Light · Millennium Square · Leeds Art Gallery

​

Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around The Light, the Merrion Centre or the Grand Arcade, then head to Bento for ramen, sushi or a big katsu curry fix. If you are off to a gig at First Direct Arena, it is a strong shout for food before the main event without drifting too far from the action.

​

The Tidy Take:
Bento is a proper little Merrion Street comfort-food stop, casual, tasty and full of Japanese dishes that hit the spot without making dinner feel complicated. Great for noodles, rice bowls, sushi cravings and anyone who knows katsu curry is basically a warm hug with crunch.
