Morikawa Bento is a small shop, hidden in one of the back rows of admiralty center. They have around 20 different bento boxes, but when I came at 1 pm the choice was already limited to about 5 sets, so I went for ginger pork for 58 HKD.The presentation of the box is not particularly pretty (given the Japanese obsession with food presentation) – come in a black plastic box with a transparent lid.

Morikawa Bento is a small shop, hidden in one of the back rows of admiralty center. They have around 20 different bento boxes, but when I came at 1 pm the choice was already limited to about 5 sets, so I went for ginger pork for 58 HKD.
The presentation of the box is not particularly pretty (given the Japanese obsession with food presentation) – come in a black plastic box with a transparent lid.
My box contained of a small appetizer of some sort of shellfish, a paper cup with a bag of what seems to be instant miso soup, the ginger pork, slightly seasoned rice, some pickles and a small side salad. Appetizer, rice and pork where still somewhat warm.
The “miso soup” was mainly salty, quite similar to the one you get at Yoshinoya. The appetizer was good – well seasoned and with a nice portion of the shellfish (I guess some sea snail). Pork was ok in taste, but could have had more ginger. I didn’t like that there were some bone pieces in the pork (like in a strip of bacon), which made it a bit difficult to eat. Rice was ok, the pickles were standard supermarket quality. Salad was quite basic – a few leaves, cherry tomato and a bit of corn and the dressing very acidy.
Given the long queues at almost every restaurant at lunch time in this area I would see this overall as an ok alternative for a quick lunch and decent value for money, might come back at an earlier time to have a bit more selection.
