What We Do

The Bento Bar is Wellington’s first onigiri specialist, crafting bento lunches by hand each day and sharing them with care.

 

Our essence is simple: thoughtful food for modern lives, rooted in culture and made to nourish. A weekly changing menu keeps things vibrant and seasonal.

Where Food Meets Care

We choose and dress our ingredients with intention — creating menus that feel balanced, vibrant,

and satisfying without weighing you down.

We’re not here to push a perfect diet; just to make eating well feel effortless.

 

A treat doesn’t have to mean indulgent — sometimes it’s simply knowing someone has taken a little care on your behalf in a busy world.

That’s how we like to look after the people around us.

Bento Catering

We cater events of all sizes with vibrant, balanced Japanese food. Our individually portioned bentos make dining effortless and inclusive, with meals curated to feel nourishing, colourful, and satisfying — leaving guests energised and your planning stress‑free.

 

We also offer onigiri and select favourites from our wider menu as party platters, giving your event a distinctive touch that stands out.
