TeriBox 2021 Guadalupe Street, Austin, TX 78705

"Went for lunch which isn’t the best idea for a place located on UT campus. You can park in the Dobie 21 parking garage which is $3 for the first 30 minutes, but it takes 10 minutes to find a spot and it took 20 minutes for my food so you may have to pay $6 for another 30 minutes. There isn’t validated parking. TeriBox is located in the Dobie food court. TeriBox has a variety of teriyaki boxes, which come with Mac salad, coleslaw, rice, and daikon. They also have katsu burgers with fries. They prepare each meal fresh, cooking the meat to order. I ordered the beef teriyaki box and enjoyed the taste of the meat. Also enjoyed the Mac salad but the coleslaw was kind of bland. The amount of food you receive is great for the price."

"I work by campus so it was a quick 14 min walk to the food court. There was a bit of a wait but I believe it was because there were only 2 people working and they could have possibly just gotten past a rush. It is also the soft opening so be kind! On to the food! I got the spicy katsu chicken burger and fries (not really spicy)! Boy was that burger a big bad boy! I enjoyed every bite! I cannot wait to try other options!"

"TeriBox is a nut allergy friendly establishment with reasonable food for college student prices. I'm not too familiar with the area, and couldn't find parking in the evening on the street, so it cost me $9 to park in the nearby "Dobie Twenty21 Parking Garage." I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, though I won't fault the restaurant for that. Service was reasonably fast with three boxes for my party coming out within 12 minutes. They didn't really have a good way of notifying you that your order is ready, so you've got to keep an eye on the counter. I ordered the chicken katsu box, and my friends ordered the beef teriyaki box and the pork belly box. The chicken katsu box had a great crisp on the chicken, although some pieces were more dough than chicken. The sides were pretty Americanized but good (a creamy cold macaroni salad and some crisp cole slaw, not enough radish). I got to taste my friend's beef teriyaki box, and found the beef teriyaki to be a bit sweet but the meat to be a bit chewy. Overall, the meal was pretty filling for the price. I'd come back if I were in the area over other fast food places, but the parking situation isn't great. We asked for water and nearly got charged on it until we clarified tap water, so be careful on that."

"TeriBox is the new restaurant in the Dobie Center and it brings a completely different variety of food to the UT community. It is only a soft opening, when I went, so they are still testing out their menu. They are still testing new menu options (vegetarian coming soon) and you should give it a try. Recommendations: Pork Belly Teriyaki Box or Chicken Katsu with the Nashville Tennessee hot sauce Atmosphere: The restaurant is located in the food court area right next to Gong Cha. Thus, it has a bustling environment from all the craze of boba. Service: They gave me their recommendations on the food to try and I have no regrets. Had an opportunity to sit down with the owners to share my feedback and for them to share their vision. They are trying to give the UT students and Austin community an opportunity to try their Asian inspired food. Food: It reminded me a lot of Hawaiian food or a bento box. I got the Chicken Katsa with Nashville Tennessee hot sauce. The chicken was perfectly cooked with the right amount of breading and the hot sauce provided some necessary tang, if you're up for some heat. Comes with macaroni salad to cook you down. Additionally, I got a pork belly teriyaki with an egg. Juicy thin slices that are covered in Teriyaki sauce. Every bite was worth it."

"Went here for the soft opening and got the fried shrimp. I was surprised it was the cheaper option, but then I found out that it was mashed shrimp inside that crispiness. It was a good choice to get the sauce on the side because it has a strange sweetness. I was not a fan of the macaroni in the box either. There’s a lot of rice to make the box seem full. I think they can knock the price down a dollar for the other boxes and become much more popular, especially with all the other Asian places nearby. Would I come back? Big maybe, since there’s other places around Dobie. Btw there’s a lot of seating at Dobie, but parking can be hard to find."
