This is the second time. I have been to Obento, once before the pandemic and this time.
The staff here are always friendly and welcoming and willing to go the extra mile to make sure your experience is top-notch.
While it can be a little expensive I found the portion sizes to be more than large enough and of high enough quality to justify the cost.
I will definitely be going back again next time I'm in the city centre.

Obento was the first Japanese restaurant that I ever ate in, 15 years ago. Upon returning to Bristol I was hesitant to return, based on a few negative reviews. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised when I came for a friend’s party in one of the upstairs karaoke rooms.
The staff were professional and attentive, and the food that I had – una don (grilled eel rice), mango fry roll (deep fried fish sushi roll wrapped with mango) and miso soup – was good. Not sure how authentic the mango sushi is but it was still tasty; the unagi was cooked well and had the correct flavour, and the soup

Customer service was so bad. No greeting at all and then waited at least 25 minutes for my food, at which my partner had finished his. No mention of the wait. Salmon set was tasty and affordable however the maki - rice ratio was too high. Prawn tempura really bad. Got a stomach pain after the food.
Not even a good bye until we said it first. Asked for the bill and it never came, we had to go up to pay.
Would not recommend

The food was really very good. We had the deluxe sushi selection and the vegetable bento - both were delicious with good quality ingredients. It can be a little on the pricey side, depending on your choice, but the quality seems suitable for the cost. The staff were helpful and efficient, but could have been friendlier. The place itself is a little tired - not to the point where it felt unhygienic, but it could do with some sprucing up.
