Whole Foods Market recently opened their second area location in West Ashley, and while many of you are more than familiar with the store’s offerings and their popular hot bar, some may not be aware of Big Island Bento, which is available at the new store.
Big Island Bento is run by Genji, which began as a mom-and-pop sushi and Japanese cuisine restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their Whole Foods locations offer customers the option between building their own Hawaiian bento box and choosing from a variety of pre-rolled sushi and other Japanese entrees.
I was offered the chance to try some of these menu options at no cost the West Ashley Whole Foods and jumped at the chance. Needless to say, this is not your average supermarket sushi.
I was lucky enough to try many different options and ended with the following takeaways:
With a good price point and fresh, tasty ingredients, Big Island Bento offers Whole Foods shoppers another great option for their next on-the-go lunch or quick-and-easy dinner. I definitely recommend giving it a try the next time you’re grabbing groceries.
You can see the photos of their menus and dishes below.
