Crazy Chicken Bento

I normally go to a different teriyaki place in this part of town so this is my first try @ Crazy Chicken Bento.
I ordered the Cajun Chicken, I think I waited 2 minuets if that and it was ready! The cook puts your order down on the pickup counter next to the sauces and napkins with no lid so you can put more sauce on your food or put on a lid and rubber band and call it good. I took mine as ordered.
The cajun sauce has a tangy sweet flavor similar to a Kansas City BBQ Sauce with a little more heat but not too much.(I am a fan of Portland’s Crazy Juice
so this is very tame in comparison) The Chicken breast meat was tender and juicy with a nice array of grill marks to give a good char flavor. The Rice is standard white rice done sticky style and flavored nicely. Here is why the review only gets a 3 star rating. The veggies are on the squishy side I suspect they are frozen making them slimy and squishy with a frozen aftertaste, I am sure upgrading to fresh veggies would earn a 4 or 5 star rating, still @ $ 7.00 this is a great lunch deal and as long as they use frozen veggies I will order mine without. I will be back for sure!

The only reason I would eat here again was if I was desperate and all the other NW industrial restaurants burnt down. I tried it 3 times before writing this review to make sure I didn’t catch them on an off day. Each time was worst than the last. The ONLY reason people eat here at all is because of it’s close proximity to their workplace. It’s usually operated by two people, and these two could not care less about their customers if they tried. The meat is grilled, only… not marinated, nor seasoned, nor anything, to any noticeable extent. If you want to get fancy and upgrade with pineapple on your meat/​rice, it’s taken straight out of a can and is horrible. I remember thinking during final meal at CCB that this is literally the human equivalent of dog food.
If you work in the area, do yourself a favor and upgrade to the taco truck a block down, Subway, or anything else in that complex a block south. However, portions are good so if your priority is filling up the tank for cheap, then that’s your priority. This place is hurting bad and is in a serious need of anything. You deserve better and most importantly, they need to up their standards and food quality even if it adds a dollar. Cheers!

Hands down the best bento as well as the best bang for you buck in Portland.
Love this place, eat there everytime I am an in the area.
I get the combo bento with peanut sauce on one side and sweet chili on the other side. $ 7 for a large that is enough for 2 meals.
Wish they had other locations around town.

Really great chicken. It seems so simple but must not be because I am often disappointed when I order chicken out. Too dry too bland too boring. Not Crazy Chicken bento!
The Caesar salad is my favorite and I also like the pineapple and chicken bento. I know it seems like an odd combo but it works.
The full orders are fair priced and easily enough for 2 meals.

Weird location, but given the options in the NW, this is definitely my favorite. It’s not exactly authentic bento (they offer extra sauces including curry and peanut), but if that’s not a big deal for you, you’ll be happy. Portions are great (ie huge), price is great, meat is flavorful and perfectly cooked, and their steamed veggies are surprisingly varied. Plus they offer brown rice and have specials (like juicy delicious steak W/​Th). Highly recommended to anyone in the NW searching for a good lunch spot.

Who knew basic chicken and rice could be so tasty? Well, most anyone can make it tasty, but these guys grill it to perfection and dress it up with teriyaki flavor that explodes in your mouth.
I got «The Works,» but felt like the veggies overpowered the chicken. I would probably go sans veggies next time, and let the chicken and rice shine in all their glory. A quick jump from my NW office, I know I will be stopping by again soon.

This food stop is a truckers favorite treat right along the highway. Everything on the menu is well priced because the portions per plate are great. There is a variety of sauces to choose from such as teriyaki, curry, peanut sauce, etc. 17 years running and going strong!
