 This bento is perfect for the way I use itFeb 14, 2009
By Heidi Eldenburg
After reading the other reviews, I think how you react to this bento box depends on how you use it. Personally, it's perfect for me. I'm a short woman who doesn't eat a massive meal for lunch. I have snacks in the morning and the afternoon. As a result, the lunch portion size is exactly right for me.
Additionally, I have a kitchen at work where I can heat up my food, so I use the thermos capabilities to keep my food chilled until lunch, instead of keeping the food warm. So no issues with the food getting too cold to quickly either.
I love the fact that it diversifies my diet by having the three different compartments. I also love the fact there's room in the bag to put my two snacks or a can of diet soda in addition to the thermos.
Not all of my meals have been chopstick friendly, so I'll switch those out with a fork or spoon when needed, but the little holder thingy in the bag works just as well for that.
In summary, I love it and really have no complaints. It rocks!

 Small Little Lunch JarAug 26, 2008
By JLower
This lunch jar is pretty small, the portions work out to be no larger than two coffee mugs. This is probably meant for someone petite by nature as the amount of food it can hold is probably too small to fuel an eight hour work day. However, the design is pretty good for being compact but it's a bit hard to remove the bottom container. This is mostly made out of plastic, but the pretty durable type. It comes with a decent tote, overall a pretty good value for something that will last a few years.

 Not bad!Jan 16, 2009

Got this Zojirushi lunch jar for my son to daycare everyday. The size and love is perfect. However, by the time of lunch, food is not that warm already. Little disappointed on this.

Used as directed, works perfectly.Jan 22, 2010
By Alysia Robinette
I used as directed (heated food in the morning, outer container filled with boiling water for several minutes) and the lower container was quite hot at lunchtime about 6 hours later. The upper container, containing items that had been refrigerated overnight and packed in the morning, was room temperature.
I've carried a thick soup a few times and had no trouble with leakage. The bottom container is not watertight, so don't invert the container or overfill. Broth soups probably wouldn't work well unless you underfill slightly and are sure to keep the container stable.
The bag is quite roomy, with enough space to fit a canned drink or other items.
The portion sizes are quite reasonable for an adult woman of average size and appetite, assuming you are packing reasonably calorie-dense foods. This wouldn't be a good size for a salad or sandwich, for example. There is enough space to pack such items on the side.

Perfect for school lunches.Dec 17, 2010
By Sophie Zhang
I ran out of lunch ideas long time ago, and I feel bad giving my 7 year old cold sandwiches everyday during the cold winter months. My boy doesn't eat salad, so he hardly had any veggies at lunch. Everything has changed since I purchased the Ms Bento. Now he gets a warm entree as a main course and a healthy serving of veggie as a side.
The bottom bowl keeps food very warm even after 5 hours if you follow the instructions (preheat the container with hot water prior to putting bowls in). The top bowl keeps food room temperature at serving time which is perfect for the veggies so they won't loose too much nutrients due to the heat. Ms Bento is the perfect size for my son, and this two bowl model is easy enough for him to handle.
Three things to keep in mind:
- Preheat the container with hot water prior to use.
- Only the bottom bowl retains the heat.
- Bowls are not leakproof, so cannot use with soup. If you really like to bring soup, go for the other stainless steel version of Ms Bento.
