Yesterday, while sight seeing in Canberra I decided to have Japanese food for lunch. On my way to Canberra centre, I stumbled upon Sizzle Bento at Garema Place. Looking forward to a delicious bento lunch, I settled myself in the outdoor area only to be accompanied by two magpies perched on the table.My bento arrived and I was horrified at the way the tempura looked which was basically chips with grated carrots and zuchinni dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. The tempura was bland, the teriyaki chicken looked and taste like it had been reheated many times. The whole bento tasted and looked like it had just been reheated. I found the inari sushi underneath the mass of tempura and when I t...
I was just in Sizzle Bento in Garema Place and had the most awful dining experience and it had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the food! When I went to pay for what I had eaten the manager their started abusing me and yelling at me in front of the other customers and saying I had shortchanged her a few months ago when I was in there cause I was very drunk! I was so upset and embarrassed and absolutely mystified by this because not only was I living and working in Sydney at that time (and no where near Canberra) but she said I was in their with a child and I don’t even have a child! Not to mention the fact that I don’t even drink and have never short changed anyone in my life.Needles...
Saw several staff having their lunch and the food they were eating looked delicious. Son (who can eat Japanese every meal if able to) ordered tempura vegetables and I ordered a ramen noodle soup dish. Paid around $15 for the noodle dish. It was appalling and tasted like watered down 2 minute noodles with packet broth. I was not able to eat the meal. Son had a couple of bites of his tempura and asked if we could go elsewhere for lunch.The meals were absolutely unacceptable and a waste of money. Staff appeared not to understand English very well so did not complain and just left. Would give this place a WIDE berth next time!
Perhaps I just have bad luck in picking restaurants in Canberra, because the decidedly average Sizzle Bento actually provided one of the more enjoyable meals I have had in the Aussie capital. I had BBQ beef with noodles, which was tasty and served relatively quickly. At least as memorable was the rather bold magpie (a nuisance bird about the size of a crow) that hovered until we got up from our seats, then attacked the scraps in our bowls.At least the location is convenient to hotels and the Canberra Center mall.

You want a country style Asian meal that is westernised!! Come hereIt's very badordered the sizzling chicken it didn't come out all sizzled.
Honestly, I am unsure why this place has a high ratingThere self cooking is goodBut, there personally prepared meals are nothing spectacular.
