I'm a surfer girl and freelance writer who can't seem to get enough out of life abroad. Despite my frequent travels, my life in Hawaii (namely, my six-year old pug Iris) keeps me grounded.  Here in Honolulu, buildings pop up like tourists...

With its palm trees, tropical valleys, and rugged Ko’olau mountains, it’s not difficult to see why Honolulu continues to be ranked as one of the top ten “green” cities in the United States.  In keeping with this, Kristine and Todd Brown opened a hidden little kitchen that prepares creative and delicious “bento” plates for a reasonable price.  

What’s a bento?
A bento, a popular lunch food in Hawaii, is a Japanese-style packed lunch consisting of rice, vegetables, and (usually) sashimi — or raw fish.  Bentos are healthy, complete meals in a box.  So, in keeping with this idea, the Brown’s prepare for you a very tasty box lunch made from completely organic produce.  

Everything at Well Bento is made from scratch daily, and there are no unnatural ingredients, meaning they are free of chemicals, additives, preservatives, and refined sugars.

Todd, an Iron Chef competition winner, and Kristine, a certified nutritionist, know exactly what your body needs to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.  The menu is so diverse (with both “vegetarian” and “transitional” bento items) and so creative (doesn’t the “Zen Macro” just make you want to become like Buddha?) that your mouth will water just thinking about the food.  

Where is Well Bento?
There is no dining room at Well Bento.  In fact, this kitchen is located on the second floor of the East West Building at the corner of University and King Street (across from Puck’s Alley).  The best option for you is to check out their menu online at www.wellbento.com, call in and order your food at #808.941.5261, pick up your food, and enjoy!
