Working in Manhattan, I am lucky to have access to a Sunrise Mart that sell bentos and other Japanese comfort foods. It's my go to lunch spot when I'm in a rush and want something cheap and healthy.

There's also a growing UK/Japanese chain called Wasabi Sushi & Bento that has locations in both Penn Station and WTC Oculus.

Coincidentally, there's a New York Mart in Sunrise (FL), and they're Asian too! [0]

Not being a particular fan I've not tried better, but I don't think Wasabi is considered particularly good or authentic Japanese food. Sort of like to Japan as Chopstix is to China, but perhaps not quite as bad.
I just discovered Sunrise Mart on a trip to NY last week! It is a shame that we do not have an equivalent in Seattle (Uwajimaya is not the same and does not have bento AFAIK).
