Soup bowl is small November 3, 2009
Sophie H. (Studio City, CA United States)
I found this item very useful and worked exactly as described. My only complaint is the soup bowl is small. In fact, it is the smallest of the containers. You can not put an entire can of soup if you want to eat just soup for lunch. The "rice" container is the largest and if you are trying to watch your carbs the food pyramid is set up backwards. You cannot put soup or liquids in any of the other containers as it will leak. The soup bowl has a screw on top whereas the other containers have plastic lids that either twist on or snap on. I wish the product review would have stated the soup container is the smallest as that was my primary purpose in buying the product.

Great besides absorbing smells October 31, 2009
Joseph Doll
I've had this bento for about six months and use it to bring lunch with me every day. It works great and definitely encourages eating a healthy lunch. The main problem I have with it is that the plastic tends to soak up smells and stain easily. For example, my soup container has a faint orange color and smells due to eating tomato soup in it a few times. Besides that it's great though and highly recommended.

Envious lunch-goers eye this! October 29, 2009
W. Ciaccia (Baltimore, MD)
This has turned out to be a convenient way to bring a pretty decent dinner to work without using lots of large containers that ultimately take up room in a gross staff refrigerator! I keep this on the shelf at work and for the most part the hot (or cold) components do stay the correct temperature. My main complaints are minor--if something is warm on the bottom, it will radiate heat to the top containers. Also, the largest of the 4 containers is not able to hold sauces or liquids because it is not designed to be "watertight" so to speak. Regardless, I use it everyday and people in the break room usually eye it.

Bag Useful for other things... October 26, 2009
Picklesbrother (Charlotte, NC United States)
The bag that accompanies the Lunch Jar is very useful: cinches at the top to stay closed, easy to throw over your shoulder to keep your hands free. On several occasions I have left the lunch jar at home and used the bag to take my thermos and 3 yogurt containers stacked. It may not be the reason to buy this product but it's a nice plus.

Lingering odor on lids! October 13, 2009
W. Tsai
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was really excited to buy Mr. Bento after reading all the reviews posted here. I was looking for a bento box that will feed hungry, growing kids. With Mr. Bento, I know that my kids and husband will get plenty to eat in school and in office. It's very Chinese to have at least 3 dishes and a soup for each meal and Mr. Bento achieves this easily. Moreover, in elementary schools where microwave is not available, this is the only way my kids will have hot lunches (with enough food) at school. I ended up buying 3 units from Amazon in August.

Everything worked as planned until I washed the empty containers.

The first time I used Mr. Bento, I put some steamed snap peas (from Trader Joe's) in the top container for lunch. I washed the containers that night and discovered that the lids from the containers (that had the Snap Peas) had a lingering odor (the smell of the snap peas, similar to beans) on the underside. It didn't matter whether there were any snap peas left in the containers (my husband finished his and my daughter didn't), that snap pea odor remained on the lid after washing.

I tried regular dishwashing detergent, baking soda/dish washing detergent, baking soda/dish washing detergent/vinegar combination to wash and soak the lids and nothing worked.

Last week, the same thing happened again to the other tier container of the Mr. Bento when I packed Stirred fried vegetables Beijing style. Now these lids have the smell from the sauce. I cannot get rid off the odor from the sauce on these lids.

So I did some research on the internet and found out that it is a common occurrence to have odor on plastic containers/lids. According to [...], one can prevent odor on lids by packing smelly foods separately (but sometimes it's hard to ascertain what constitutes smelly food until it's too late), by washing the container soon after eating (or at least throw away unwanted food bits and give it a quick rinse/wipe with a paper towel). But in my case, the snap peas sat in the container from 7AM to noon which inevitably left odor on the lids of containers that no amount of wiping afterwards will help rid of the odor. So when odor occurs, this is what [...] suggests we do:

After washing, put the open containers (lids off) in direct sunlight for an afternoon to air them out (storing the containers with their lids off also helps odors dissipate). For stubborn odors, some recommend applying a paste of lemon juice and baking soda. Cascade's Plastic Booster can be added to the dishwater (either dishwasher or handwashing) to help the detergent work on plastic, whitening and deodorizing plastics.

I hope my experience with Mr. Bento will help other owners of Mr. Bento to avoid odor on lids.

Also, the 3 Mr. Bentos that I had purchased from Amazon all had the same serial number. Shouldn't they have a different serial numbers for each product? That's really odd!
