Sushi in the Box is a reliable spot for sushi and Japanese bento boxes tucked near the 99 Ranch Market in Arcadia. It’s not a sit-down restaurant but more a casual takeout-focused place where you can grab fresh sushi rolls, tempura, and hearty bentos that feel a bit more complete than your average food court fare. The atmosphere inside is straightforward and low-key, perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner pickup rather than a lingering meal.

The menu offers a good variety of classics like California Rolls, Spicy Tuna, and Caterpillar Rolls alongside tempura bento boxes and sashimi sets. Bentos come with small side dishes such as pickled salad, shredded daikon, and a little sweet candy — an unexpected touch that gives the experience a bit of charm. Many locals appreciate the generous slices of sashimi and the fresh, well-prepared tempura, reflecting a consistent quality that’s held up even after their move next to 99 Ranch.

This place works best for anyone looking for affordable, tasty Japanese food in a convenient grab-and-go format, especially during the lunch rush when specials make the value even better. Families picking up dinner, office workers wanting a quick but satisfying meal, and sushi fans who appreciate fresh fish without the full-service price all find something to like here. It’s also a spot that reminds some longtime locals of earlier sushi takeout experiences in the area, tying it into Arcadia’s evolving food scene.

Because it’s part of a bustling plaza, the vibe is lively but functional — expect a food court feel, with minimal seating and no frills, which means it’s especially suited to those who want to enjoy their meal elsewhere, like at home or office. If you’re passing through with a craving for sushi rolls or a tempura bento, this place offers a solid combination of freshness, reasonable pricing, and a few thoughtful extras that show they care about the takeout experience.

I was pleasantly surprised ordering a bento box and a couple rolls from Sushi in the Box at the food court near 99 Ranch. The prices are pretty good and the food was tasty and fresh. I noticed the bento boxes had a few extras you might expect if you were at a restaurant. And it came with a Hi-chew candy, which my kid stole from me.

This is a really good sushi spot in a food court. The tempura, sushi, and bento boxes reminds of the old Sushi on Garfield takeout restaurant in Monterey Park (now permanently closed) before the owner changed its menu, but Sushi In The Box has many more choices.

We had the bento boxes and some Cali rolls. The food was very tasty and prices were reasonable especially if you take advantage of the buy one get one half off specials. Keeping this place on my rotation

Still great since they moved next to 99 Ranch. Same big slices of sashimi in the classic bento. Same fresh shredded daikon (love it- I eat every shred). Same little side dishes (ocean salad. Salad, ginger, and a little Hi- chew candy). Keep it up guys!

3.5 stars. Great value for the bento boxes! Service was fast, tempura and fried pork and chicken cutlets were both delicious but sashimi could be a hit or miss, raw fish tasted fishy at times. And, they’ve started to charge $1 for the complimentary miso soup. (07/2021)

Definitely worth coming here for the value. The food is pretty good too. It’s in a small food court with lots of other Asian food establishments. I got a bento box with the mixed tempura and the tempura was nice and crunchy if that’s your preference. However, the mixed tempura comprised of only shrimp and sweet potato. I’m out a fan of sweet potato. I wish they offered other tempura like onion, zucchini or broccoli. The chicken cutlet was good, but if you don’t like the sauce to be on the cutlet, just let them know. I liked it the way it came There’s a special on the sushi where if you buy certain rolls you can buy other ones for half off. Not a bad deal.
