Bento Kitchen Cravings

About us

Welcome to Bento Kitchen Cravings, a unique Korean fusion restaurant founded by husband-and-wife team Alex and Amy. With over 15 years of culinary experience, Alex has honed his skills across various Asian cuisines throughout Michigan. Amy grew up immersed in the food industry, with her family owning restaurants since she was a child—a tradition that continues today.


Noticing that Korean cuisine was underrepresented in the Lansing and East Lansing areas—with only two Korean restaurants in the surrounding communities—we wanted to offer something both new and familiar. Our goal was to introduce everyone to the rich flavors of Korean food while making it accessible and enjoyable for all.


To bridge the gap between traditional and modern tastes, we created dishes like burritos and quesadillas filled with our popular Korean-marinated meats, such as bulgogi. These handheld favorites offer a familiar format with an exciting twist. Our menu also features authentic Korean classics, including bibimbap, Japchae noodles, spicy chicken, and Kalbi (Korean short ribs).


We take pride in being the first in Lansing to offer Boozy (Alcoholic) Boba drinks, adding a fun and innovative touch to our beverage selection. Additionally, we offer "Create Your Own" ramen bowls, allowing you to customize your meal to your liking.


At Bento Kitchen Cravings, we're passionate about bringing you the best of Korean flavors combined with modern culinary creativity. We invite you to join us for a dining experience that's both comforting and adventurous.
