Makoto Bento

Makoto Bento is a casual Japanese restaurant in Chatswood, on Sydney’s North Shore, and part of the Masuya International dining group (masuyainternational.com.au). They specialise in bento-style set meals featuring teriyaki, karaage, katsu, grilled fish, and tempura, alongside sushi, sashimi, donburi rice bowls, and other izakaya-style small plates. As a dine‑in and takeaway venue, they cater to both quick lunches and relaxed dinners, with most individual dishes and sets typically priced in the modest, casual‑dining range compared with central Sydney Japanese restaurants.

A charge from Makoto Bento will usually appear on your bank or card statement after you pay for a meal in person or order takeaway. Common descriptions include variations like “MAKOTO BENTO CHATSWOOD,” “MASUYA MAKOTO BENTO,” or “MAKOTO BENTO NSW AUS.” Charges may come from eat‑in table service, counter orders, takeaway, or phone orders paid by card. If you used a card to leave the table open, you might first see a pending authorisation, followed by the final amount including any extras or tips. Third‑party delivery platforms (like Uber Eats or Deliveroo) may show up under the delivery service’s name rather than Makoto Bento directly.

To verify a Makoto Bento charge, start by matching the transaction date and amount to any recent visits to Chatswood or Japanese takeaway orders you made around that time. Check receipts in your email, delivery apps, or your wallet, and consider whether someone in your household may have used the card. If you still have questions, you can contact Makoto Bento or the broader Masuya International group through the contact details at masuyainternational.com.au, call the Chatswood store during business hours, or speak with your bank if you suspect card misuse. For disputed or incorrect amounts, gather your receipt or order details before calling, as this will help staff look up the transaction and resolve billing issues more quickly.
