Midtown fans of Japanese fast food are blessed with yet another bento box–centric option near Grand Central. Joining the neighborhood's old (Donburiya, Tsushima) and new (Cafe Zest) proprietors, this 47th Street takeout joint features bento boxes ($6.50), sushi and hot deli items like udon, fried chicken and curries. But true to Dainobu's roots as a decades-old Japanese grocery chain spinoff, over two-dozen imported pantry items (from Japanese sweets to sauces and rice) are available, too. For now, everything is grab-and-go, but there are plans for delivery and indoor seating. So whether you're a Japanese expat looking for hard-to-find staples or a Midtown office dweller seeking Asian-inflected chow, this newcomer adds to the plentiful options in this micro Land of the Rising Sun dining district.
