Contestant: Yama
Location: 30-40 Carmine St., West Village
Order: Very Special Set Bento Box
Cost: $10.25 not including tax
Contents: 1 chicken "teriyaki" filet, 6-piece California roll, 2-piece shrimp tempura, 3-piece veggie tempura, 3-piece shumai, edamame, pickled dried seaweed, white rice
Good: There are so many items!
Bad: Chicken is really gummy and very dry (borderline inedible), no miso soup
Verdict: C. While there were a lot of items, nothing was perfected (tempura may have been the closest). Ironically, there was nothing "very special" about this set other than its reasonable price. My office neighbor A ordered another bento box with me and also had the same complaints about the chicken. I would have traded the seaweed and chicken in for a miso soup. Yama offers soup with the bento box when you dine in, but not when it's being taken out. I'm not sure what the logic behind that is, especially when they do not offer delivery during lunchtime.
