It was perhaps only a matter of time before Riga’s best underground nightlife district showed signs of gentrification and this all-purpose Asian restaurant certainly qualifies as a harbinger of the mainstream. With a modern interior complete with stacks and stacks of firewood, pop music streamed in the background and an Asian menu, which also includes Italian pasta and Caesar salads in addition to 2 for 1 sushi and build-your-own stir fries, Bento can be best described as a jack of all trades. Although the food is fine, the inclusion of a fried (not soft-boiled) egg in our ramen lunch, provides a hint that the chefs still have room to grow.
