Asian Box

Catie Rix

Welcoming atmosphere for my late lunch. I ordered the chicken curry and it is fresh, crisp and delicious! Less than $11 for a very filling meal.

Entirely gluten-free kitchen. Counter service primarily. The food is amazing and doesn’t need added sauces. It has a great balance of meat, starch, and veggies, and their pickled vegetables are perfect. Definitely try the sauces: the tamarind is sweet and great with salmon, the peanut sauce is great for the chicken, and the Asian Street Dust goes on everything.

I gave this restaurant a 2 star before it was a miss-understanding with one of the employees there but she was kind enough to see me in the street & corrected me. She even apologized & that is very kind of her! I also apologized for miss-understanding you. God bless you 🙌

Brad helped me. He was great - very friendly and efficient. He may me glad I was a customer. Please thank him for me

The portion isn’t big, but I think it’s fine for a hot summer when your appetite isn’t great. The meal itself was served semi cool, but the chicken itself was tender. However, given how bad inflation is, I think the portion is relatively reasonable and the ingredients they used appear to be fresh.

The food was really tasty, but I expected more of a salad and felt like I got a really heavy, curry tofu dish with very little greenery. And even though I had sauce on the side, it was still quite soggy at the bottom of my container, and I had to eat it as quickly as possible so it wouldn’t stain all of my stuff. However, the service was fantastic, and I really like the decor of the restaurant.

Good place for lunch. Fresh ingredients and easy to customize based on taste.

Healthy box for lunch or light dinner! I enjoy the workout box, five spiced chicken and steamed veggies.

These tasty bento boxes have lots of variety in them. They're fast, and they're green - only compostables or recyclables are used!

Food was almost a 4. Nice that it was freshly cooked. I got the Asian hot chicken box. The chicken was extremely sweet and spicy. I can kind of taste the tamarin. I guess its to balance out the sweetness. I eat pretty spicy and I thought they over-did it a little. May be next time I can try something else.

I've tried Chicken Curry (I guess it's a Thai style coconut curry) and Shrimp Roll (and I guess it's a Vietnamese style rice noodle cold roll). The ingredients seems to be high quality as they advertised and I loved that part. The flavor is good, but it's somewhat different from what I've expected. I think I've expected more authentic asian tastes. If you can accept it as a new style of American Asian foods with high quality ingredients, then I think it's for you :) I probably try another one next time, but I should set my expectation different.

Went on Saturday 3pm, service is fast not busy. Pros: Pork is moist but not fatty. Not greasy nor salty nor fishy. Cons: Got a Miss Jones at $14.95 portion can be larger as the rice noodles are cheap as evident in asian supermarkets. Not bad and would come again.

The food was good. Dedicated gluten free!! Our daughter is Celiac so that goes a long way. Menu Options were clear if limited. The food wasn't very exciting, but sufficient. Clean, but plastic atmosphere. It's setup like a fast-food place. They don't want you to stay long. The staff seemed distracted and not very interested in the customers, but the food did come fast.

They state it’s a Vietnamese street food restaurant, but they’re nothing similar to the cuisine they claimed. Not even close. The food was very bland. We ordered Fresh Spring rolls, one Banh Mi (I forgot the name because it was so tasteless) and Grandma’s chicken pho. Everything is very plain, even the spring rolls. When I looked around because the food was so bored, I realized no Vietnamese customers besides us. That said a lot. This is another Americanized Vietnamese food. Now I knew why the Vietnamese restaurant in San Mateo is always packed with Vietnamese and the waitlist is so damn long, because they are more genuine and authentic.

You can spend $20 anywhere else but not here. Small portion with poor taste.

We had the worst service experience here. We waited forever for our food which arrived cold. Hygiene was also a concern. We saw the cashier using the same gloves to ring people up and prepare food. My son found 3 hairs in his chicken wings. Even though we have celiac and appreciate the gluten free aspect very much, we won’t be returning.
