Amazing place!

Super kind staff and amazing food! Most definitely worth going to if you’re in the area. I especially recommend going if you have any allergies as they are very good at catering to these needs, having allergen information both on the menu and signs outside. Overall, a great experience, will definitely go again soon!

Hidden gem

So many amazing options...my partner loved the sweet potato teriyaki inari but my favourite was the tuna (incredible). Staff were lovely and friendly plus very helpful with what to choose. I loved all the rescue animals they sponsor on the wall (from the tips given). Very lovely.

Pros: Delicious inari, gyoza & sushi bowl, Friendly staff, Tips given to sponsor rescue animals

Super food !

Wow. This place is amazing. The whole ethos from start to finish is vegan for animals. Run by wonderful, totally committed people. The passion is clearly on display, whether through the food, the information displayed or the service. Did I mention the food ? It is tasty, wholesome, innovative and VEGAN for the animals.

Pros: The ethos, 100% vegan, Passion

Absolutely perfect

What a lovely find. Firstly a newly renovated, comfortable and very charming restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We loved the wall of animals at sanctuarys that they financially supports with their tip money!
The food was really good. We had sushi bowls and they were absolutely perfect, fresh and really delicious. I wish I lived locally. I felt the pricing was very reasonable too. Overall I couldn't rate it highly enough!

Pros: Everything!, The food, Staff and atmosphere

Cons: Nope nothing

Authentic Japanese Sushi

Visited this cute little place with my friend during our trip from London, and what a find! 🥰

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted and seated with such warm and friendly hospitality. We ordered a few different dishes so we could share and try as many as possible — and WOW… we were honestly left speechless!

We travelled around Japan last year, and we haven’t had Japanese food prepared this beautifully since coming back. We’ve tried quite a few Japanese restaurants in London, and while they’ve all been great, Little Bento Box has definitely beaten them all! 🇯🇵❤️

We also had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who is such a lovely and beautiful person. You can genuinely feel the passion, care and love she puts into her business, and it really comes through in the food and the whole experience.

If you’re craving authentic Japanese food outside of Japan, this is definitely the place to go!

10/10 — absolutely perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! We’ll definitely be back! ❤️

Wow!!

Amazing! Grabbed the Loaded Inari Pockets for lunch. All super delicious, our favourite was the sweet potato. Loved it so much we came back to grab some more to take home for dinner too! Super friendly customer service. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. Like how they also have a fridge that is stocked with cheeze and other bits to buy to take home. Their desserts also look delicious.

Pros: Inari pockets, Quick, Friendly service

Delightful

We had a smoked tofu sushi burrito, gama wakame (seaweed salad), Intari pockets (filled with rice and tasty toppings and sauces) and gyoza. It was all delicious. The staff were lovely and friendly which made it feel really welcoming. We finished our meal with two huge slabs of the guest Oreo cake made by a local vegan baker. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

Pros: Healthy choices, All vegan, Super friendly staff

Cons: Toilets are shared with the arcade of shops.

Fantastic food and service

I've eaten here a few times and have been really impressed with the friendly service and freshly made tasty food. Even when they were very busy yesterday, every customer was treated with 5 star care and every meal came out perfect. We had a mock duck hoison sushi bowl and the special, which was a Vietnamese banh mi on our latest visit- both we're perfect!

Pros: Freshly made vegan dishes, Friendly and caring service, Other vegan stuff to buy, pates, cheeses etc

Fantastic vegan food

We had a fabulous lunch here. All completely vegan. Menu has an Asian twist. Good value and note that 100% of tips go to animal charities. Food is cooked fresh to order so you may have to wait for your food during busy times. Also they take allergies very seriously- most items on the menu are suitable for coeliac diet and clearly marked if not. Lovely friendly staff. It is quite difficult to find if you are not local - in an arcade and up the stairs - but definitely worth it.

Pros: Great Asian-inspired menu, Food cooked fresh to order , ALL tips go to animal charities

Little lunch time cafe

What an amazing find in Worcester city centre. Everything is cooked fresh to order on site and it was all delicious. Took our non vegan friends here and they loved everything. Super friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely be coming back for more amazing food.

Great food, friendly staff

Plenty of options to eat: fried rice dishes, gyozas, inaki pockets, sushi "burritos" or bowls and some sides. Plus there is a good selection of loose leaf teas. Food is served in well-judged portion sizes.

Tips are donated to animal rescue sanctuaries. There are framed certificates & photos of sponsored animals on the wall.

Pros: Range, Portions

Cons: Small

Worth the wait

This place is tucked away in the Gallery, but if you're in Worcester I would recommend tracking it down as the food was great and the staff lovely. They were busy when we arrived and apologised for the wait on the food, but this is fine when you only have 2 members of staff to do all the cooking and service and your menu is completely vegan- we'd rather wait and support! They were sadly mostly out of garlicky sweet potato but I had the 'no quack' mock duck sushi burrito instead and this was great. I'll just have to come back another time to try out the potato!

Pros: Choice , Friendly staff , Made in house

Lovely nourishing food

Visited the cafe for the first time today. Usually I buy from here from the van at an event so it was lovely to go here.

It was Christmas Victorian Market day so everywhere was super busy including here, so service wasn’t as quick as it probably normally would be.

However the food was lovely and tasty and really fresh! You can see it all being made to order while you wait.

Amazing!

Good Asian-inspired food and more

All-vegan sushi, bowls, wraps, gyoza, inari pockets and side dishes. The deli case offers cheeses, plant meats, kimchi and kraut and tofu sandwich filling. Some days, three varieties of vegan Scotch eggs are available, made by local maker, The Veg Life. (They make a good take-along breakfast on train journeys!) Bottled sauces for sale.
I enjoyed the sushi bowl and gyoza and would love to try more of the menu. This place and a few other vegan eateries in town will attract me back to Worcester for a longer stay!
(There is a second listing on HappyCow for Little Bento Box's food truck.)

I’ve been three times and every time the food has been superb and the people have been super friendly and welcoming. The bento box with a sushi burrito and sides is a perfect take out option for a picnic.

Pros: Excellent quality sushi, Choice, Homemade

Love it here.

Granted the current premises are tiny but the venue is in an interesting building called The Gallery, an indoor market. Little Bento Box is upstairs, no wheelchair access that I could see.

There is a table out on the gallery and inside the warm and cosy premises is seating for four. We received a friendly and chatty welcome.
The food was prepared fresh while we waited which we really appreciated, so much better than having sushi that’s pre-prepared.

Delicious food. Will definitely be back when next in Worcester.

Their website does say opening times are subject to change so I contacted the venue before travelling to check if they’d be open.

Hi Blonde_Elle.
We are o sorry to learn you visited us while we were closed. Sadly there is only two of us that operate the business. We have the shop and a trailer that we take to events during the summer.
We do post on our social media the days when the shop will be closed well in advance. Please check @littlebentosushi on Facebook and Insta for updates. It does also say on our listing on Happy Cow that we can close intermittently for events
On the 19th Aug, the day of your review, we were at The Farm Animal Sanctuary. This was a weekend event raising money for the sanctuary.
Again, sorry you were unable to try our delicious sushi and we hope you will visit us again some time. soon.

Myself, my Husband and my 1 year old daughter visited today. Between us we had a sushi wrap (delicious), sushi bowl (amazing) and some Gyoza (incredible)
We’re just visiting the area on a staycation and it’s the best vegan food we’ve had the entire trip. Such a pleasure meeting you both. Keep up the good work and keep growing! I’ll spread the word!😄
