Understanding the bento bundle
A bento is a Japanese boxed meal that combines a main with rice and sides in one container. Wasabi’s bento bundle adds a side and a drink to a mini bento for a combined price from £8.95, which makes the choice simple: pick your hot box, pick the side, pick the drink. Because the page lists a starting price, the final total depends on which items you choose.
The three hot bento boxes named on the site
| Box | Style |
|---|---|
| Chicken Katsu Curry | Breaded chicken cutlet with curry sauce |
| Sweet Chilli Chicken | Chicken with a sweet and spicy sauce |
| Korean BBQ Chicken | Chicken in a Korean-style barbecue flavour |
Choosing well
- Pick katsu curry if you want a comforting, mild option.
- Choose sweet chilli or Korean BBQ if you prefer a sticky, savoury sauce.
- Check the allergens on the menu if you avoid gluten, soy or sesame.
- See Wasabi menu and prices UK for the wider menu and Wasabi Rewards: how the points scheme works for points.
What a bento is and why it works for lunch
A bento is a single container holding a main dish, rice and sides, which makes it portable and portion-controlled. In a fast-food setting, a hot bento is attractive because you get a complete meal in one box without choosing separate components. Wasabi names three hot bento boxes, all built around chicken, and offers a mini bento with a side and a drink as a bundle.
Which box for which taste
| Taste | Suggested box | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mild and comforting | Chicken Katsu Curry | Breaded chicken with curry sauce |
| Sweet and spicy | Sweet Chilli Chicken | A sweet chilli glaze |
| Savoury and smoky | Korean BBQ Chicken | A barbecue-style sauce |
A lunch budget example
If the bundle starts at £8.95, a five-day working week of bundle lunches would be at least £44.75 (5 × 8.95), which is our arithmetic and assumes the lowest price. Using Wasabi Rewards points could reduce that over time, depending on the scheme’s terms.
Checks before you order
- Confirm the bundle is available in your branch.
- Ask about allergens such as soy, sesame and gluten.
- Check whether the side and drink choices are limited.
- See Wasabi menu and prices UK for the wider menu.
Key takeaways
- Mini bento with a side and drink from £8.95.

How to build a balanced bento lunch
A balanced bento includes a protein, a carbohydrate and some vegetables. Wasabi’s hot bento boxes provide chicken and rice, so adding a side with vegetables or seaweed makes the meal more balanced. If you prefer to avoid a sugary drink, choose water or tea with the bundle where the choice allows. Look at the sauce too: sweet chilli and Korean BBQ sauces are sweeter than a plain katsu curry sauce, which affects calories and taste.
If you have an allergy, ask about sesame, soy, gluten and egg, which are common in Japanese-style dishes.
Allergen and dietary notes
Japanese-style dishes commonly contain soy, sesame, wheat, fish and eggs, so anyone with allergies should check the official allergen information before ordering. Hot bento boxes with chicken are not suitable for vegetarians, so look at the sushi sets for meat-free choices. If you follow a halal diet, ask Wasabi directly about certification, because we did not find a halal statement on the pages we read.
Portion sizes also differ between mini and regular bento, so check the size before you order if you are very hungry. A mini bento with a side and a drink is designed as a light-to-medium lunch.
Final checklist
- Pick your hot bento.
- Add the side and drink.
- Check the bundle price at the till.
- Look at allergen information if needed.
