Bento Burger has closed

Bento Burger opened here on East Second Street near First Avenue back in April 2011 ... the Asian-style roadhouse specializing in hamburgers was part of the Lucky Cheng's complex...


...and it's now closed...


... previously, the space was home to the BBQ joint Marfa... and, before that, the tiki-themed Waikiki Wally's ... (whose banner is still visible atop the building...) ... and La Nouvelle Justine ...


Meanwhile, as you probably know, Lucky Cheng's is moving to West 52th Street, as Grub Street first reported, in the coming weeks (six weeks was the word Michael Musto heard at the Voice the other day...)

Previously.

    Sad... very good memories of this place, especially when it was Wally's/Marfa. Kind of amazing to think Cheng's is gonna disappear. Many awesome nights wandering through the mazes of that place. So many good shows, so many interesting people, so many drugs. Good times. RIP chengs
