The fried chicken bento box came with 2 soggy chicken katsu, hard gyoza dumplings, 6 avocado & crab rolls, salad, and miso soup.
I ordered the fried chicken bento for lunch. I'm already itching for my next trip to New Jersey because of this place! My newly-downgraded-because-of-Hachi-second-favorite chirashi is only a stone's throw away for $18. The reason why it doesn't get the full five stars is because although it's worth the price in my opinion, it's admittedly not the best value chirashi in the area. It's definitely a splurge for $27 but well worth it with the quality and variety you're getting. Next time (there will be many, many next times), I'll check to see if I can get the hidden unagi layer without ginger. Don't let the picture fool you, there's more variety of high quality seafood beneath the top layer that is visible in the photo. However, the deluxe chirashi at Hachi, now that is a chirashi worth crying over! It is chock full of fresh, sweet, deliciously raw seafood such as fatty tuna, salmon, white tuna, hamachi, uni, scallop, botan ebi (identified to the best of my ability) over rice that is covered in a thin layer of chopped up unagi.
(After Hachi, I now know it reeeally wasn't worth crying over.) Not that long ago, I reviewed a restaurant whose chirashi I shed unwarranted tears over only to discover that although it was good, it wasn't quite worth crying over.
