Usually the birthday boy is the one getting the gifts, but for TenPenh’s 10th birthday, they’re dishing out the freebies. During dinner service in the month of August, the restaurant will place secret red envelopes under the plates of unsuspecting diners with $10 gift certificates to the restaurant in them. Way better than the time you got school clothes for your tenth birthday.

And today, in honor of their birthday, the restaurant will feature a special $10 bento box during their extended lunch hour (11am-3pm). With a deal like that you’ll have plenty of cash left over for cake…in honor of TenPenh, of course.
