IMHO Was hungry after walking the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival and choosing none of the expensive vendor food options there. I was craving noodles and after our chosen restaurant happened to be closed...we walked by Asian Box. Had never been here before so we didn't know the concept. Stood in front of the register to order and waited... Watched staff hustle as orders were being prepared, but no one came to the register. We thought perhaps we had to order via the screen in front of us. We had no idea. My hubby was almost ready to walk out when FINALLY a smiling young lady came to take our order. (Note to management; instruct your staff to simply acknowledge customers waiting in line and tell them you'll be with them momentarily.) After ordering the "Miss Jones" ($10.49); lemongrass pork, chilled noodles, crisp veggies, hard boiled egg, and a pre-packaged spring roll ($4.99), we sat down and waited. While we waited I decided to check-in on Yelp and discovered that I could get a free home-made drink when checking in! I went back up to the register and showed the cashier who happily redeemed the coupon for a yummy Vietnamese coffee! Food came fairly quickly. Everything was fresh, delicious and yummy. Despite the initial wait at the register, all staff members we came in contact with were friendly, gracious and helpful. I will not hesitate to visit Asian Box again. read more

3:5 stars Located in Downtown Mountain View. The 3 of us ordered 2 Hot Chickens ($12.49 each) and 1 Banh Mi ($11.49j. Note there is a 3% surcharge added to all orders to cover overhead costs. I really enjoyed my Banh Mi sandwich filled with lemongrass grilled pork and vegetables. It wasn't the best Banh Mi I ever had, but still good. The 2 others in my party love spicy food but they couldn't finish their dishes (hot chicken) as it was too spicy. Otherwise the flavor was nice. Surprised me as they can handle a lot of spice. Nice outdoor seating in front. read more

Always a great stop for reasonably healthy and cost effective food (there are always leftovers). I'm uploading the photos during the Mountain View food and wine tasting walk, so the food photos are 'samples' of what they usually serve. But I have been here a ton and my favorite has been their chicken curry and Vietnamese fiery chicken. I personally did not enjoy their green curry option (feel like a mash of green vegetables that don't go together). They have some packaged drinks as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating. But I believe during the pandemic, the indoor seating has been significantly reduced. Takeout options are most common. It is a reliable spot for decent and healthy food with good proportions. read more

All my coworkers love this place and today was my first time having it. Opening the box was quite an experience - it looks a beautifully crafted meal. I got the chicken box with all the toppings! All the components tasted great - the highlights were the chicken, crispy onions, shredded pickled carrots and bean sprouts. That spicy sauce was heavenly - spicy, not sour and leaning on the sweet side. It was definitely a refreshing lunch with very subtle fragrant notes. read more

Very disappointed at their spring rolls. When I asked for hoisin sauce they said they dont have it. Vietnamese place don't have hoisin sauce??? A hoisin sauce?????????? I am confused. The spring rolls didn't even have a mint in it. What? So confusing. Please close.. it is shame to even call a Vietnamese place. Such a disrespectful place for the Vietnamese community. read more

I had the Vietnamese hot chicken and it was very tasty. It's spicy and sweet at the same time; not overly spicy, but definitely the spiciest sweet chili sauce I've had (which usually tends to be quite mild). The Vietnamese iced coffee was also delicious, though the amount of ice was a bit excessive. read more

4.5 stars! You'll find a Southeast Asian flair in the street food-inspired boxes at Asian Box! The place is super casual (many takeout orders), and I love the build-your-own concept that lets you pick and choose different bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces to your taste! For my box, I started with bases of rice noodles and Asian salad (mostly lettuce), and each box comes with sauce-tossed vegetables as well (broccoli, carrot, and cabbage). As much as I loved the veggie-forwardness of the boxes, they sure do their proteins nicely as well. The freshly grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp (I got to try all three!) were marinated and grilled to juicy perfection. And then there were the toppings--I got the whole shebang, including the pickled carrots, bean sprouts, jalapeño, lime, cilantro, crispy shallots, and fresh peanuts! All of these toppings added a fresh crunch and great flavor to every bite! As for the sauces--I tried the spicy sriracha and the creamy peanut sauce, but my favorite was the yellow coconut curry, which was perfectly creamy and had just the right amount of spicy kick! I also loved that you could pick as many sauces as you want, so you can really customize the flavors to taste! What a great casual restaurant--for a quick, casual, healthy, flavorful meal at a great value, Asian Box will do in a pinch! read more

Yummy food, consistent servings and service. bigger location compared to campbell, but still cute inside! Macro-friendly, which we love.

Pretty straightforward fast casual restaurant in mountainview. I ordered the curry chicken, which they said was their most popular box. It comes with rice, curry chicken, and some vegetables all mixed inside. It tasted pretty good, but again, I wasn't expecting much - just trying to grab a quick lunch. I will say that I waited about 15-20 minutes. It felt like the people were more focused on their delivery / online orders than the orders in store. While there was nobody before me, I continued to wait a long time watching online deliveries get made. I was in a bit of a rush, and the cashier gave me an estimated 6 min wait, so it was a bit frustrating. Wish they prioritized in-store orders! Otherwise, the cashier was nice, there is indoor and outdoor seating, and I think it's a solid quick lunch option. read more

Checked it out as part of the 650 Yelp Deal. The shrimp spring roll is great especially with the peanut sauce. The peanut sauce hit the spot for me so I decided to stay and order dinner. I customized my box because they only had salmon as a pescatarian option but wasn't too crazy about it. I had a box with shrimp and peanut sauce. I loved it and a very flavorful. read more

This is based on a doordash order. I know doordash cuts into business income, but holy crap does Asian Box upcharge for delivery. The items are $4-$5 (about 30%) more than if you order pickup through their website. Normally, I would have passed on the restaurant, or gone to pick it up myself, but I had no car at the time, had some doordash credits, was in the mood for the food they offer, and decided to go against my better judgement. Definitely not worth it. $18 banh mi? I thought about getting it with no maggi sauce or asking for it on the side. Should have followed my gut. The "special" bread was no big deal because it was super soggy and mushy from the sauce. It was almost like the roll had been dunked in a vat of it, like it was a french dip or something. It also made the sandwich really salty. The $18 make-your-own chicken box wasn't worth it either. There was hardly any meat and the portion size in general wasn't very big. They could have floofed up the noodles or veggies or something to try to make the container at least look half full. I would have been disappointed with even paying the non-doordash prices of $14 for each item. read more

I came here recently and I was a little impressed. This can be affordable because the price is about the same as you pay for Poke in Santa Clara county. With the rising cost of food this place helps a little bit. If you are looking for a quick meal this is your place to go. The idea is to have a lunch break that fits your schedule. This place definitely meets my requirements and I must say it's a great commuter restaurant. Close to the Caltrain station If you live or work in Mountain View. I usually stop by to take my lunch break before I start my night shift in San Francisco. It's a grab and go Drawback: the portions can only satisfy your hunger for a short time. If you want to get some alcohol don't get it here because you will be paying a lot for a small can. read more

With so many options on this strip, I settled on something simple - noodles and protein. I opted for the Chef Salad with steak and a bottled water. All came out to $16.67. They will charge you $.10 for a bag to take your item with you. I ate most of the flavorful meat at one of their tables outdoors. The noodles were good and the dressing was tasty but sticky. I asked for another dressing container before I took the rest to go. My friend who had the leftovers liked it as well. Super friendly service and parking is located on either side of the strip. read more

Asian Box is always a solid meal for me. Used to love picking it up as a quick meal when I wanted to eat alone and I love how I can personalize my meal, Whatever you choose, it's the perfect mix of veggies, meat (or seafood/tofu) and sauces. It never leaves me feeling gross even what I finish the entire box. And guess what?! Peanut sauce is now free! (They used to charge .49 - I know... but they've now changed it to be free!) Also, I can never manage to get their wifi to work but it might just be me! read more

I got a chicken curry with all toppings, which came with tamarind sauce on the side. The veggies were quite fresh, but my potatoes were a little undercooked. I LOVED the peanuts and the curry sauce!! They have vegetarian and vegan options which is a plus for someone who's trying to stay healthy when eating out. Overall, everything was tasty all together and will definitely recommend this place to my friends. read more

You can not go wrong with anything you order at Asian Box - Each and Every item you try will be Amazingly Delicious! read more

I just forced one of these boxed lunches down and found very little redeeming qualities. Lol, that sounds brutal. I mean the veggies were fresh and the BBQ'ed chicken had flavor but overall it was largely tasteless. I kept reminding myself that this was a healthy lunch, which it was. So I think this place would appeal to those who do food prep for the week to eat healthy. If they offered some sauce that would make a huge difference. TLDR: light, fresh, and healthy but not so tasty read more

I used to eat here all the time until they switched to a much smaller plastic box, now it's just not worth it anymore.

Asian Box was initially my first spot when the whole 'chipotle-style' bowls started. What I like about Asian Box is that its not as pricy as the other places that has developed after them. Asian Box's topping are inclusive and they give a variety of toppings. The only additional is the hard boiled egg and protein ( $3ish) range. Fresh ingredients and decent protein portions. A great pick-me-up meal for lunch or a post work out. I recommended the chicken/beef and shrimp protein and add that delicious caramelized egg too! read more

Great spot for a quick lunch on Castro street. There is no parking on the street so you will have to go a few blocks into the residential area and walk over.

The bowls are all really good and light but the curry chicken is a good heavier option if you need something more substantial. read more

Asian Box - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

Asian Box is basically the Asian version of Chipotle and I am a fan. I've always been intrigued by this place and finally decided to give it a try and it is great. Asian Box lets you create your own box of food, you choose a base, protein, unlimited toppings and sauces. If you're not up to making your own box, they have a number of preset box choices to choose from. I made my own box, got the chilled noodles, pork, all toppings and the no oil fish sauce. It tastes like a hipster version of Vietnamese vermicelli. The portions LOOK small, but I found myself struggling to finish everything. Each box is around $10. The restaurant space itself is just normal. There is a lot of seating options. I came around dinner time and there was no line and food came out within a matter of minutes. Located in downtown Mountain View, you can park at one of the few parking structures nearby or if you're lucky, you'll find street parking even closer. read more

As you have read, basically the Asian version of chipotle. Fresh ingredients and you choose what you want to put in your box. || First, rule of thumb as in starcraft, build your base:: White rice Brown rice Vermicelli Salad || Second, select the type of non living organism ya crave:: Shrimp (lime basil tossed) Pork (lemongrass marinade) Chicken (six spice blend) Beef (garlic and soy glazed) Tofu (coconut curry) || Third, bring out the inner Asian u know u got, cuz FREE UNLTD TOPPINGS:: Fresh lime squeeze Fresh herb Bean sprouts Fresh jalapeños Crispy shallots Pickled vegetables Peanut Scallion oil Caramelized egg (add extra .95) || Fourth, MAKE IT SAUCYYYY :: Tamarind vinaigrette (tangy and sweet) Miss Jone's Sriracha (blend of spicy and sweet) No oil fish sauce (the OHH to your MAMI. Umami splash on ur buds) Asian street dust// additional cost (dirtayy blend of sweet, salty, and spicy) Hot box it//additional cost (Fireeeee) Peanut sauce //additional cost (creamy blend with lime and coconut) My box: Lemongrass pork + crispy shallots, peanuts, fresh lime squeeze + no oil fish sauce(8.65 tax included) // I wouldn't say it was AH-MAYZING. But it was alright. It's like telling someone who is Mexican that chipotle is authentic. ITS NOT. Asian box is definitely not authentic but gets the job done. I wish they gave more vermicelli since I had hella meat left over, but I'm not complaining! Quality was a bit Americanized, but I wasn't expecting it to be super authentic to begin with. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/asian-box-mountain-view?reviewid=uLXddXtMksEPT_86fspYXw&select=NlsI2BhS3D8mPEjNGjBDSg You got dine in or outside patio.

Asian Box - Lemongrass pork + crispy shallots, peanuts, fresh lime squeeze + no oil fish sauce(8.65 tax included) - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

I love Asian Box for a quick and healthy meal. Great variety, especially now that they've added more curry to their menu! I prefer making my own box because I feel like you get more food. Sometimes the quality can be a bit inconsistent, especially with the steak. I prefer it soft and juicy (i.e. medium at most) but it can be a bit overcooked from time to time. I stick with chicken or tofu to avoid this. I'm personally not a big fan of the banh mi - I prefer the classic version on a light and crispy baguette to their version, which is with (I think?) dutch crunch and tastes denser than I would like it to. Stick with the boxes and you won't be disappointed! And make sure to get all the toppings (crispy shallot is the best!!) Have to say customer service here is incredible. I had an issue with one of my orders once and the manager handled it perfectly. Good safety precautions with COVID, easy to place takeout order, quick service! read more

I walked in and told the cashier that it was my first time and he offered to give me the grand tour of how the ordering at Asian Box works. It's a 4 step process (even though the takeaway menu has 3 steps): 1) The first step is to pick your base of either rice or noodles (they have brown rice!). 2) Number two, you pick your protein/meat (chicken, beef, pork, tofu, or shrimp) 3) Third, pick the "toppers" which include things like sprouts, peanuts, and pickled veggies. All of the toppers are free except for the caramel egg, which is not a chocolate easter candy with caramel inside, but a hard boiled egg that's been simmered in something - the egg is an extra 95 cents. 4) And lastly, pick your sauce. Some of the sauces cost extra too. I opted to get the rice noodles + coconut curry tofu + ALL the toppers including the caramel egg which the cashier highly recommended + Miss Jones' Sriracha. And it was really yummy! The veggies tasted very fresh and the tofu was firm and flavorful - you can really taste the curry. I love the concept - love that you pick what you want and they build it for you. And the box idea is cute - reminds me of japanese bento or korean dosirak. And box and utensils are compostable! And the space is cute and very clean. The staff is very friendly and my food came out super quick. I'll be back and I already know what I want to try: brown rice + lemongrass pork + ALL the toppers plus the egg + the hot box sauce. I'll let you know if that's good too. :D read more

Asian Box - The three steps to making your asian box - from their menu. - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

tried this spot for the first time and i really enjoyed it! we ordered the workout box and the hot chicken, which were both so tasty. tip: order online for pickup if you're going during their lunch rush hour. we saw some people waiting for at least 20 mins to order. the workout box came with chicken that was well marinated and really juicy, pickled veggies, steamed veggies, bean sprouts, and rice. it also came with a tamarind sauce, but i didn't like it because it was too tangy/sweet for me, but if you like tamarind flavor, that might be more up your alley. the hot chicken was really good as well! it has a spicy kick and pairs well with the rice. the price point $11-16 is decent for the portion size. the meals are relatively healthy. they have a few tables inside and some outside, but it's definitely more of a takeout or quick dine spot, so it's ideal for lunch, but not so much for dinner in my opinion. would return!! read more

My colleagues and I dine here often for lunch since we're right on Castro St. It tends to get pretty busy right at noon so I suggest to come earlier of after the lunch rush. I love love their selections here! It's pretty healthy and affordable for good quality. It's also super quick which makes it convenient. They have an order ahead on their website and you can just walk in and they'll have it ready for you. The place has plenty of seating and pretty clean. read more

Kinda like an Asian chipotle, but SO MUCH BETTER! It actually tastes Asian which is good. I was a huge fan of the Thai curry box I got which had chicken and lots of veggies! It's hard to get veggies at a quick food place like this one. Service was quick and there were plenty of options for everyone! Good place to bring people who have different taste buds because they'll be bound to find something they like. If you have a peanut allergy, just make sure to say you have one so that they are careful with your order since they do have peanuts here! read more

Asian Box - Thai curry with chicken! - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

I was excited to try Asian Box. After living in the Bay Area for years, I never got around to trying it. I had high hopes since it seemed healthy and similar to Glaze Teriyaki's bowls. I ordered the Create Your Own steak bowl. It lacked flavor & had a weird taste. The meat was not fully cooked as it was cold. I ordered steamed vegetables, except they weren't steamed. They were raw and crunchy. The only decent thing to eat was the extra eggs and rice. My friend ordered the steak curry box. The rice was not cooked well & the steak tasted cheap. There were whole baby carrots and large pieces of potato. I think it would be better if chopped up smaller. Overall, would not order again or recommend to friends. I love supporting local businesses, but It was a major waste of money. read more

Asian Box is all about Vietnamese street food served up fresh in a takeout box. This is my go-to place on Castro Street for cheap, healthy fare. The ordering process is straightforward: pick a base, a protein, toppings, and finally a sauce. You can customize your box or go with one of the signature ones. I always go for the Workout Box ($8.75), which has chicken, brown rice, steamed veggies and more to satisfy the post-workout munchies. There's an ok amount of seating here, but it can get crowded during peak hours. Not a good place to dine in with a large group. Prices are reasonable, but portions are on the smaller side. If I wanted to get full, I'd have to spend a few bucks more. I guess that's how this place manages to stay in business at its prime Castro Street location! read more

Sad to see the drastic drop in the food standards of this location of Asian Box. For the second time in a row, I have been disappointed by the food quality and quantity. Ordered th Vietnamese Asian box with egg. Got literally 3 tiny slices of cucumber for Pickled Vegetables, the rice soaked in the sweet syrup, bland chicken coated with the signature sauce which was crappy too... How do you get everything wrong in one box?? For the second time, they forget to give the egg (I made sure to check my order this time to be sure). This was my go-to place for a quick healthy meal... But never stepping foot into it again. Located in such a prime spot, they seem to be taking for granted that customers will keep coming back no matter what they give out. read more

As someone visiting for this summer with basically zero culinary skills this is my go to place for a quick bite after work. Orders take about 2-3 minutes to come out, though on busier nights the wait is definitely noticeable. The ordering scheme is super simple - you pick a base (some rice or noodle), a protein (beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu), toppers (mixed veggies, bean sprouts, shallots, etc), and then a sauce. Usually I just get everything on it and ask for no herbs, because there's some nasty cilantro in there. For the food itself - the portions are large with some of the cheapest prices on Castro St - $10 for a box (which, if you're from out of town, is an expensive street to eat on). All the protein I've tried out (pork, chicken, beef - this is my ranking) taste great and super fresh. The toppers are just toppers - nicely stir fried veggies and other assorted goods. I've also tried all the sauces and there's not a single "bad" one, though I usually end up getting the fish sauce which is savory and sweet. Healthier than most options on Castro and the $10 is totally worth it. read more

Pretty normal all things considered. It was amazing, but it was bad either. For the price, I expected more food or higher quality. read more

I'm definitely a fan of Asian Box but I think the food is A-OK The basic concept is you choose your choice of (salad, noodles, or rice) then your choice of meat (chicken beef pork etc) and your toppings (sprouts egg broccoli etc) and the sauce (sriracha fishsauce etc) Out of the meats I've tried, the spiced Chicken is THE BEST. Almost tastes like marinated roast duck. I thought the beef was a bit tough to chew on. They allow you to do half half of noodles and salad which I recommend. I find that this place is a bit inconsistent with the amount of sauce they put in your box. The first time I ate here the ratio to food and sauce was perfect. But unfortunately my second visit wasn't as pleasant because there was so much sauce that it was a big puddle on the bottom of my box. I think this is a cool place to try out. Definitely a convenient meal. But I don't think I would crave it. read more

Asian Box - Chicken with all toppings and a Vietnamese iced coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

Although this location is slightly larger than the Palo Alto one, it's only to accomodate an indoor seating area, not extra queues, so expect service to be about the same. That being said, it's pretty fast as long as you don't have THOSE people who take their time ordering for their entire office. Very. Slowly. Ugh. Still, their food is still very fresh and tasty -- the chicken is starting to become my favorite just because it goes SO SO well with peanut sauce, but really, anything is good. Definitely try all of their toppers if youre going for the first time -- the caramel egg, though not for me, is definitely pretty tasty and reminiscent of "real" Asian cuisine. The fried shallots are always amazing as well. Delicious, fast, and always a good option depending on how you feel. Definitely a nice addition to Downtown Mountain View. read more

Asian Box - Chicken with rice noodles, all the toppers, and peanut sauce ($.75 extra). My favorite! - Vietnamese Near Me - Mountain View, California

I LOVE this place! It's fast, simple and healthy... Went on a HOT day with hubby and the line was crazy but amazingly there were tables as a lot of folks order to go... As other yelpers explained, you pick rice (jasmine or brown), cold rice noodles or Asian salad, pick your protein (which has been seasoned and flavored), your toppings and your sauce! I like they have a simple order form that walks you through it so while in line you can check off what you want which makes the ordering go faster... In addition - if you don't want peanuts - they ask if that's a preference of if you have an allergy as they take extra precautions for those with allergies! Love that!! I had their cold noodles (as it was a very hot day) with their lemongrass pork, all the toppings minus nuts and jalapeno and their tamarind vinaigrette! Also go their Asian Street Dust to add additional flavor. I WAS WOLFING this down... so much flavor with so much pork and that Asain Street Dust adds the extra umpf to the overall dish... Hubby had brown rice with their Coconut Curry Tofu, all the toppings AND their boiled egg - the egg is brown - been boiled with flavor... was a nice add to his dish... personally I liked mine but it was more because mine was so refreshing but on a cool evening I would go with his dish. Am DEFINITELY going back - we had ordered an extra to bring back to my daughter and the girl suggested we put the dressing on the side - PERFECT! So thoughtful and nice. I LOVE their service - everyone is friendly and VERY fast and efficient!! What a great experience we had - now if I could make a case for them to have one in Cupertino I'd be all set!! Asian Box - come to Cupertino... you'd have the Apple folks eating out of your box!!! :) And I'd benefit from that too! :) read more
