Asian Box

"Folks who go to Asian Box go because the food is reliable and tasty. This is NOT what this review is about (because it is still reliable and tasty). This review is for the service. Door Dash screwed up my order (not surprising) so after realizing that I was NOT going to get my Asian Box order delivered, I drove to the restaurant to place the order again. I spoke with Wendy, the Executive General Manager, and she was understanding, kind, and most importantly, professional. She immediately helped me with my order and expediated it so quickly, I should have just gone to the restaurant to place my order instead of relying on Door Dash. Also, I want add that their crew quickly put together 6 orders in 5 minutes. Go there if you want to be treated kindly and respectfully because fewer and fewer places nowadays seem to remember that service is just as important as food quality and taste."

"This place is all about customization, letting you build your own box with a protein, veggies, and sauce of your choice. The ingredients are noticeably fresh, and the portions are perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner. Don't expect mind-blowing flavors, but do expect a satisfying meal that will keep you going without breaking the bank. Seating is limited, so this place is more of a grab-and-go situation. It's ideal for takeout or a casual bite for one or two people. No frills; it does a good job of being quick and convenient. A perfect guilt-free fast food alternative"

"We were traveling in the area for my husband's job and I picked up a tofu bowl with rice, curry, and all the toppings to share with my toddler. It was delicious! My son chowed down on it alongside me. All of the dressings looked yummy, but I'm glad we got the curry. I wish there was another vegetarian/vegan protein option, but the tofu was very good. The staff was friendly and talked to me about all the options. They put the bowl together super fast and we were out the door quickly. It was about $16 for a bowl that was big enough to share with my son and have a small bit of leftovers for him later, which nowadays is pretty good! We won't be in the area much, but if we are again I would definitely go."

"Two of us had lunch here. It is counter service. The menus has an excellent selection and comes across as both tasty and healthy. The price is reasonable and the serving a well sized for all but the super hungry. The bathroom is clean. Parking is available but very crowded at lunch time. We got the Salmon salad and the yellow curry vegetables. Both dishes had great flavor and fresh ingredients the flavor of the curry vegetables is good enough to be considered one of the vegetarian meals in Palo Alto. The only negative (which is easy for the restaurant to fix) was super aggressive wasp trying to get the salmon. As the only seating is outside have to swat at a wasp all meal was disconcerting. They need wasp traps big time."

"The food tastes very bad because it is far too sugary. The "Vietnamese hot chicken box" has cubed chicken breast slathered in extremely sweet sauce. It tastes like nothing that has ever touched the nation of Vietnam. You can't taste the chicken at all underneath all the sugar."
