    Chicken
    amy T.

    We walk by Asian Box on Chestnut almost every day but had never tried it until tonight. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. I ordered vegetables with rice and he had the number one protein item on the top of the wall menu -- both were flavorless and boring. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls, which never arrived because the cashier forgot. We got them finally after asking and they were handed to us in a to go box like fresh out of the fridge. Later, we ordered another beer, and that was forgotten too. What made it worse was that the only other customers -- two women who were clearly friends with a guy working there -- got their food and drinks right away, while ours were overlooked. It was worse than fast food and definitely not what I'd call Vietnamese fast casual. Yuck. We won't return.

    Always passed by this place but never noticed what it was until my coworker recently kept raving about how customizable and affordable it was. My friend and I decided to order online for pick up. They have multiple locations in SF and throughout the Bay Area. We got: 1 create your own chicken box ($17), 1 chef's signature box ($17), and 1 kids box ($14). Creating our own chicken box allowed us to choose a base (salad, rice, or vermicelli) remove any included toppings, switch sauces, or add additional proteins (+$4) besides the chicken. The chef's signature box of salmon salad was exactly what the name sounded like. The kids box had the option to choose a base and protein, and came with a cookie, side broccoli, and drink of choice. I felt like the kids box was the best deal of the 3 (also what my coworker kept raving about) since you can add an additional protein for $4 and it comes out to $14 which is less than the other boxes. Keep in mind that this is meant for kids (also listed on their website for 10 years and younger) so the portions will be smaller. Either way, everything tasted healthy and fresh - from the soft baked salmon to the lemongrass pork. The 3 boxes were split among 3 people and we finished everything. It was a nice light meal so I'd say the portion is just right for those who are not too hungry.

    This place is an all-around go to. The food looked amazing , so I had to take a bite out of it before this review. The sauce taste phenomenal with elegant craft behind the sauce. Service made me smile . Because he knew exactly what I wanted.,, and was willing to give me anything to make the meal better. The place always has great vibes , and the inside looks so beautifuland clean.

    Workout Box with tofu
    Dalia V.

    Asian Box is great comfort food to me, and I was thrilled to see there's a BOGO deal for the month of July. If you order a Workout Box on DoorDash, you get a second one for free! I don't eat meat so I wasn't sure if the deal would apply to me, but I was able to swap the chicken for tofu at no added cost. The sauces are also only 50 cents extra. I ordered the peanut sauce and the red curry sauce. I loved the peanut sauce but the red curry sauce was a bit spicier than I was expecting. With that said, the food was delicious and I'm so happy I got two for the price of one. Food: 9/10 Drinks: N/A Service: 10/10 Ambience: 6/10 Vegan-friendly: 9/10

    Tried this place for the first time today, and I was sadly disappointed. I came by with my coworker, and we both got "create your own box" meals. The flavor itself was good in my opinion, but what ruined it for both of us were the cold noodles and overall portion sizes. The noodles were hard and dry, and seemed to be at least a day old. On top of that, they didn't give very much of it. My coworker also ordered double meat, but when his came out, there was no real difference. We both ended up leaving still hungry. Based on the ratings this place has, along with their prices, I expected a lot better. Maybe it was just a fluke this one time, but I wouldn't try my luck by coming a second time.

    Fast casual for a quick and easy meal in a neighborhood where there's not too many authentic Asian options. The chicken pho was flavorful and filling. I wanted some warm broth and this hit the spot. They were running some special deals too.

    Quick, healthy, and delicious. I've visited Asian Box several times, and it has never disappointed. I've tried a few items: The Workout, The Miss Jones, Chicken & Veggie Green Curry, and even created my own box. Every dish tasted healthy without sacrificing flavor. When you visit, the cashier will take your order in the front, and your order will be called shortly after. While many people opt for takeout, they do offer some indoor seating if you want to dine in. The interior is relatively modern. Either way, it is a solid option.

    The Workout
    Justin W.

    Tasty asian-fusion bowl-styled meals great for a quick lunch. I stopped by after a workout and got 'The Workout' and took a counter spot by the window, which has a nice view of the street but is a little chaotic being near the cashier. Food came out within minutes! The tamarind sauce is a little sweet, so I wish there was a little more depth (fish sauce, soy sauce, five spice, etc.). I did like the pickled vegetables and mint which added some needed freshness. However, the staff was super friendly and made eating in really enjoyable!

    Taro Boba
    Tiffany T.

    Saw a promotion for $1 taro milk tea so I decided to swing by and give it a try. Ordering was super easy, the server/cashier was friendly! The taro milk tea itself didn't have that strong of a flavor. It's premixed so you can't adjust sweetness or type of milk (but it's non-dairy so that's good for all the lactose friends out there). Regarding the boba -- texture was fine but it literally tastes like nothing. Overall not too impressed by the specific drink I tried but can't speak about their main offerings.

    fresh Shrimp rolls and peanut sauce
    Cara M.

    Good for a lunch box- tasty selections and relatively healthy options. Got the chicken green curry and garden box. Good ratio of protein to sides in the box for the price, nice flavors, could maybe be a little more saucy and spicy for both dishes. The shrimp rolls are good and fresh also. Got a takeout order but it looks spacious on the inside with seating and wasn't very busy. Quick service and pleasant staff.

    The Miss Jones
    Catalina L.

    Would give this a 4.5/5 visit. Ordered the Miss Jones box that has lemongrass pork, chilled noodles, an egg, and veggies. Flavorful and a fair portion. Pork has nice grilled caramelized flavor and the box sauce is tangy and a little sweet. Easy to order, friendly staff, and for a late Saturday dinner it was ready within 5 minutes. There must be prepared ingredients in a build-your-own-bowl fashion. There's interior seating and some outside patio tables

    The Miss Jones box
    Cece Y.

    Friendly staff, clean and casual restaurant, healthy and tasty options, all gluten-free. I also got a free housemade drink with my order via a Yelp Check-In Offer. Sign up for a loyalty account and get a free box ($14.99 value) during your birthday week. ENTREES, RANKED FROM BEST TO WORST: = Chef Gracie's Grandma's Pho: Delicious and the portion size is huge! = Miss Jones box: My favorite non-soup box. = The Workout box: Delicious and also healthy = Vietnamese Hot Chicken box: Also good. I request to swap out white rice for brown. = Chicken & Veggie Green Curry box: Also tasty, but spicy, so not for the faint of heart. = Sweet & Sour Chicken box (seasonal): The worst. Way over-salted. Also doesn't taste anything like regular Chinese sweet & sour chicken. Instead, the sauce tastes like what is used for Chinese beef and broccoli. But way saltier, like drinking soy sauce... OTHER ITEMS = Iced Vietnamese Coffee: Perfect if you like your coffee strong. Some tables indoors and outdoors, plus barstool seating along the window, good for solo dining. It's fortunately never crowded or too busy here when I visit. One single stall bathroom in the back.

    I first heard about this place when I saw it catered at my workplace. I enjoyed their build your own bowls so much I went to the shop with one of my friends after Pilates. The food was just as good as I remembered at the office! I went again tonight and thought it definitely deserved 5 stars. There is a lot of seating and the staff was helpful. Perfect place for healthy eats and catching up with friends!

We decided to share a mimosa flight, spring rolls, and ahi scoops. Even though it wasn't brunch, they still allowed us to order a brunch flight, and they were so polite and helpful throughout 4.8/5. The inside is tiny, but quite stunning, clean, and gives a lot of opportunities for insta-worthy pics 4.9/5, I only wish there had been an actual photo wall. Now to the food. The crispy spring rolls were cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. The clear noodles and veggies were so yummy. I asked for soy sauce because that's what I prefer over sweet sauce, but honestly they needed nothing 4.8/5. The ahi scoops had the best seaweed salad on it that I have EVER had, the wasabi cream on top was the show stopper, and I don't even like wasabi 5/5.

The premise of…read morea thai fusion brunch intrigued me and I was hoping it was would surpass my expectations and previous experience with Peacock Pansy (similar brunch spot). The reservation system was a bit odd with no designated time slots, but rather you put in a time yourself online. The system turned out to not work very well as I originally booked a spot for 2 at 11am and then had to call to move it to 11:40am (weird time). Turns out when we got there, my name or a close spelling of it was on the list for 12:40pm. This wasn't a big deal to me since it's easy to mishear on the phone so we moved on from that. The restaurant was decently booked and we sat inside. Now for what my partner and I ordered! Unfortunately nothing called to me strongly so I went with the very basic choice of 2 eggs plate with ciabatta toast and rainbow potatoes. I added in chicken sausage for $3. 5/10: The toast was unbuttered and honestly tasted stale. The potatoes were nice and crispy, but unsalted and quite plain. The eggs were nice, I got mine scrambled. Sausages were okay, I think I actually ended up with the pork sausages rather than chicken. My plate was $26 and I can confidently say it is not worth close to that unfortunately. Brussel Florentine Benedict 6/10: My partner was intrigued by the ton yum hollandaise sauce. There was a hint of it which was nice. Benedicts were okay, nothing special. Coconut oat matcha 8/10: On the sweeter side, but enjoyable! I liked the toasted coconut pieces on top and thought it was a nice drink. Premium matcha wise, I don't agree necessarily, but hey it was an enjoyable drink. Drip coffee 0/10: My partner loves a drip coffee and not in a snobby way. From diner coffee to honestly plain old regular slightly brunt coffee, thats her jam. This coffee was just burnt. Not sure what happened but it was $5 for a completely bitter cup of burnt coffee. Not great. Fun side note: As we were ordering the table next to us called attention to their dish as their waffle was completely undercooked and tasted bitter. The wait staff was apologetic about it, but seemed to either not understand or insist it was "too sweet" not undercooked or bitter. The table was very polite about it so honestly it was not the best look for the restaurant. It was simply feedback and I don't believe it was taken very well. Regardless, just a fun note to throw in! We will not be back unfortunately. There are many lovely brunch spots and restaurants around the city and sadly I don't think this one is worth a try just because of the cost for the quality, but I always tell myself its always worth to try in case you do think differently!

If you're looking for a place that feels clean and healthy without sacrificing taste, this is one of my favorites. I find myself craving it, especially for dinner. One thing that can be a little confusing is the hours. They often leave the door open, and because there's so much foot traffic, it's hard to tell whether they're actually open. I've definitely been the person peeking in to ask. They serve lunch on certain days, but they seem to be primarily a dinner spot. The biggest downside is the service. Unfortunately, it's been consistently underwhelming across all three visits, even with different servers. I've found the staff to be pretty dismissive, which makes me think it's more of the standard experience than just a one off. Because of that, I don't really dine in anymore. Instead, I usually order takeout and enjoy it outside. The food is absolutely worth it, even if the service isn't. If the quality of the food weren't this exceptional, I probably wouldn't have returned after my first visit. But it's honestly that good, and that's why I keep coming back.

Beef noodle soup. Hubs LOVED this so much that now he orders it every time. Fried rice. I order fried rice every time I order any Chinese food, just fact. This fried rice is stellar!

Crab & cream cheese "rolls." For whatever reason, I feel compelled to order crab rangoon whenever I order Chinese, & this is their equivalent. They're more like "packets," thin & flat. The ratio of vessel to filling is just disproportionate. Where's the crab? Perhaps more importantly, where's the crab flavor? Lots of potential here but they fall flat. This appetizer is the only thing we've tried here that we haven't loved. Dumpling Union is now our favorite for Chinese delivery.
