Carrie, Bento is a boxed lunch, usually rice & one or two meats, ie. spam & Katsu (fried, usually served with a mildly spicy BBQ dipping sauce) Chicken, some bentos have egg, some fried noodles, just ask. Loco is a bowl of rice with scambled (usually)egg a meat on top, smothered with gravy. Saimen (for those reading that don't know) are raimen (boiled curly) noodles, can come with meat, some places serve with a little veggies too. Plate lunch or meals usually have 2 scoops of rice & 1 scoop mac salad (potato salads are not common here because potatos used to be limited here and very expensive, hence the abundance of macaroni salads).
Enjoy!
