    Asian Box is a small, neat, and clean place with only about three tables inside, so it feels more like a quick grab-and-go spot. Service was fast, and they also offer vegan options, which is a nice plus. I tried the sweet and sour chicken. It was okay--not bad, but nothing that really stood out for me. Overall, it's a convenient place if you want a quick Asian meal, especially if you're looking for vegan-friendly choices

    Wings $11.99

    When you're at the airport, you're a bit of a prisoner so you try to make the best choice possible. We were at gate G with a couple of hours to kill so we wandered around and settled for Asian Box. Somehow I spent $54 here... If you order through the kiosk, they won't have the wings so I placed my order through the cashier: $11.99 for 6 mango habanero - not very spicy, average taste $18.99 chicken curry box + $1.29 added caramel egg + $6.99 added side of pork - the double protein was so small that I almost thought they forgot to add the pork! $8.25 Parfait -- not pictured, total ripoff for the price, tasted overly sweet Although the curry box was good, for $27, the price was way too steep for a portion that small. They're counting on the rice to fill you up. Like I said, we were trapped at Gate G so Asian Box was the best option but if you want to walk out further towards some of the other gates, you might find something better. This is take out only with no seating and wait was about 5 minutes.

    Mango sticky rice boba

    Food: Mango sticky rice boba wasn't bad! I would come back to try their other boba teas. Service: Fast. Ambiance: There is seating inside and other food dishes looked good. I'd come back here!

    Went for breakfast as I was departing and had a good amount to eat and burn some time. It was full in a small place. Decided to order in the machine as it was more direct. There seemed to be only 1 option and that was the breakfast bowl. Comes with 2 eggs My choice was chicken White rice And some pickled vegetables resembling kimchi A thin sweet chili sauce is added too which I dumped it all over the bowl. Flavour was really tangy and savoury. Not spicy at all. For a little bit under 20$ this was nice and filling.

    First time ate breakfast and lunch at SFO We were catching a United flight to Albuquerque from terminal G at SFO. Found this place while waiting, and ordered the $15.99 'workout'. Comes with a decent portion of sliced chicken covered with Tamarind sauce over a bed of brown rice. Would have preferred more Tamarind sauce to give the accompanying sprouts, mixed vegetables and brocolli more flavor, which were otherwise bland. The cold bean sprouts didn't go well with the rest of the cooked food, and made it cool off faster than I would have liked. Would probably order the chicken curry next time. This was July 19,2024 the date of the Crowdstrike Outage.

    Vietnamese hot chicken
    Sabrina S.

    My friends and I spotted this restaurant close to our terminal and decided to stop by because their menu caught our eyes. There were two ways to order, either with the two kiosk hidden on the left side of the entrance or up at the front counter. My friends ended up ordering up front while I used the kiosk because I wanted to look through all the pictures and read the ingredients. I ended up ordering the Vietnamese hot chicken while my friends got the chicken and veggie green curry and brunch box. We all placed our order around the same time but it took twice as long for me to receive my food. The restaurant itself also has very limited seating but, there is an open dining area outside the restaurant. Overall thoughts: Vietnamese hot chicken: The chicken was nice and tender and the spice was surprisingly flavorful and not just spicy. The box itself looked really small but the portion wasn't too bad. 7.2/10 Service: It was odd that those who ordered through the kiosk had to wait significantly longer than those who ordered up front but I don't blame it on the staff, more so the machine taking a while to send the order to the back.

    chicken curry, lemonade
    Sarah C.

    this location has an ordering kiosk but it didn't seem to have all the menu items (housemade drinks). I got the chicken curry box ($18.99) and the lemonade with lime marmalade ($4.99). the staff were nice and greeted me in a friendly manner! the lemonade was a tad too sweet but the chicken curry was decent--the chicken was tender and the curry was thick enough

    I was genuinely surprised at how good the food was, considering this was a restaurant at the airport. It was busy, and food did take a while to come out, but I brought it to a table nearby and it was delicious. Ordered the breakfast box, which had rice, egg, pork, and side pickled veggies. The side sauce was a bit too sweet for me, but everything else definitely was delicious. Pricing wasn't too bad either, for a quick service restaurant in San Fran.

    Dropped in for a quick snack. Friendly, fast service. I ordered the workout box and mango pudding. The flavors are very good and I loved the pickled vegetables. The only downside was the chicken and rice itself was cold. It wasn't warm and if it was, I'm sure the bowl would have been amazing. Also, it could have used more tamarind sauce. It was dry. The mango pudding was delicious, good ratio of coconut, rice, and mango.

    Garden box
    Sandhya G.

    I quickly grabbed the Garden Box recently during one of my travels. I have to say that the food was really decent with a medium spicy sauce/gravy and a good amount of rice. The salad that came in the box was something that I didn't like. This place gets quite busy at times and I had to wait for about 10 minutes after ordering. Also this is only available after you checkin and is near to the gates - so not really available for people coming to the airport to pickup/dropoff travellers. I would certainly eat here again if the meal time aligns with my journey in the future!

    Good meal that is worth it.

    Asian Box is a well run, small restaurant in Concourse G of SFO. There is plenty of seating in the hallway to account for the many restaurants with limited seating. The menu is diverse with something for every eater. I like that you can switch the protein and create the bowl you want. Service was friendly, fast and efficient, even when I had to add something I forgot to say--"no problem, I'll take care of it". And she did with a smile. The healthy drinks are expensive even by airport standards. The meal was so tasty and very nice portions for travelers--many of whom are midway through very long commutes. Better than one of the meals on the flight, I was grateful to have had some left to substitute. I will stop there every time I see them in SFO or the city.

    Breakfast wrap with fish sauce and cup of fruit
    Annie L.

    While waiting for my international flight, I came to get some breakfast at Asian Box. I love that they serve breakfast like breakfast banh Mi's in addition to all their rice boxes. I ordered a matcha latte and a breakfast wrap. I was told it would be an additional 10 mins wait because they need to heat up the rice wrap, rice, chicken and cook the eggs. Those who ordered the rice boxes after me got their meals and were long gone (the rice boxes, all the meats and veggies were all pre-made). The rice wrap was thin and inside contained grilled chicken, rice and scrambled eggs. It was delicious and kept me full for hours. It comes with fish sauce and the smallest container of fruits I had I ever seen (1 small slice cantaloupe, 4 blueberries and 3 grapes). Overall, good breakfast and since they are in the city, I would give their rice boxes a try in the near future.

    Great food on a flash! Meal made in lightning speed and the flavor was not compromised. The Miss Jones $19.49 5/5

Some dishes were better prepared than others, but overall, the food was solid across the board. If you enjoy making your own spring rolls, you'll love the grilled pork skewers. The pork is super tender and has such a incredible flavor profile of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and more. Rolled up with the woven vermicelli noodles and fried wonton crisps in a rice paper, you get a wonderful combination of texture in a single bite. The other crowd favorite of the night was the bánh xèo -- the stuffed rice crepe. The bánh xèo here is by far the best one that I've ever had, even surpassing ones I had in Vietnam. The outside was insanely crispy and and was surprisingly not particularly oily, while the inside was loaded with fillings. Two other dishes that were well received by the group was the betel leaf wrapped grilled beef and the sugar cane shrimp. The beef had a very similar flavor profile as the pork, but the texture was a lot more lean. The shrimp had a bouncy, yet firm texture to it, and was very well-seasoned. My only qualm with the shrimp dish is that the sugarcane did not actually have any sweetness to it. There's fish sauce on the table along with a shrimp paste sauce, but to be honest, every dish we had was so flavorful on its own, the sauces aren't even needed. The only dish that we ordered that fell short was the grilled river shrimp. The presentation of the shrimp is impressive and very photogenic, but the flavor was lacking and the cook was inconsistent. Some people had shrimp that was undercooked -- borderline raw, and on the other end of the spectrum, others had shrimp that was so overcooked, that it was very difficult to remove the shrimp from the shell without completely tearing the meat. That said, everything else we ordered was well-prepared, and very tasty. Service was good throughout the meal, and I would definitely come back again for a meal with a large group. 4.5 experience rounding up to a 5.

(I also didn't order; my Vietnamese friend did, so I don't even remember the names of the dishes.) This restaurant (but not this location) does a 7(?) course beef meal. So we tried to imitate a similar experience here by ordering different dishes a la carte. The beef carpaccio was delicious. We also had a beef salad. And we got a few different beef sausage style dishes. They were served with rice paper to make our own rolls. It took a few tries to make a good looking roll, but it was a fun experience, and all of the dishes we had were tasty. The service was attentive and friendly. We had made a reservation since there were 7 of us, and they had a round table which I love for group dinners. We got there around 6pm, but within the hour, the restaurant was FULL on a Thursday night. Every single table was taken. I had no idea this place was so popular. Would come back.

I'd recommend the place for the noodles alone, but everything else we ordered was super flavorful with great texture too. The shaking beef was beautifully marinated and fall-apart tender, with potatoes and onions mixed in. The crab puffs were an explosion of flavor, loaded with juicy crab meat inside a crispy fried shell. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly. It's definitely on the pricey side (the crab runs about $88, so it's probably best saved for a bigger group, and we kept it simple with a toddler in tow), and the interior is old school, but it has its charm.
