Absolutely this place is peak moment of my entire life. The owners are really courteous and nice every time. The shrimp musabi and the karage deserve my happy tears every time.

Formerly Falafel Shack in yesteryears, Maruichi Bento is a takeout only spot, since it's, quite literally, a hole in the wall. A simple menu, consisting of assorted musubi and their specialty bentos. Choice of protein for the bentos are beef, pork, or what I ordered, chicken.Chicken karaage bento-Wow! There's something about that breading. Crispy, crunchy coating, surrounding delicious, juicy chicken thigh meat. I found the amount of chicken reasonable. The cabbage came w/o dressing. I assume the lemon slice was meant to be the dressing, but I used a bit of the included karaage sauce to alleviate the dry cabbage.Calling in orders is the preferred method of ordering, as there will be a wait. Customers can wait in their cars, and the staff will bring their orders out to them.Service was okay. As a walk-in, I was told my order would take about 20-25 minutes, which was fine, since I was headed over to Pampanga's Bakery. Meaning to have a quick lunch w/ the top of the nearby 7-Eleven trash bin as my dining table, I picked my food earlier than anticipated, only to find out utensils weren't provided. I came back to pick them up, and when I arrived back at my "dining table", I noticed no sauce was included. Again, I had to come back. Minor inconveniences, since I was a few doors down, in front of the 7-Eleven. However, if I took my order home, not having the karaage sauce would've been a buzzkill.Parking is via a small shared lot. Mariuchi Bento is located on the right of Domino's Pizza, at the 7-Eleven plaza.Minor guffaws, notwithstanding, I immensely enjoyed Mariuchi Bento's chicken karaage. The succulent chicken was on point, and I was happy with the lunch I had. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their beef & pork bentos.

Look they have amazing food, but whenever I go they are closed even though I'm there within the hours they have posted. Highly unprofessional.

Great tasty food and staff was very friendly!

Food was pretty yummy, unfortunately they were out of Karaage and the Tamago onigiri which were the first 2 things I ordered. But I was able to try out the other foods and they were satisfying.
