Robert C.

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.

The Miss Jones - vermicelli cold noodles grilled pork

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

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!

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.

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.

Quite disappointing compared to other Asian box locations. The restaurant is quite crowded and popular so expect to wait a bit for your food. My portion size was smaller than what I have received at other locations. The chicken was also tougher and the taste was not as flavorful

OMG YUM!!!!! I stopped in for some smells and left with some of the most TASTY food I've had in a long time! And wait! There's more!! It's HEALTHY. Whaaaat?!?

Fresh Shrimp Roll
Arnel E.

Good choices in Terminal G when hungry prior to a flight. Flavorful dishes which is surprising for an airport fastfood joint. Ordered The Workout, Kid's Box with Milk and a side of Fresh Shrimp Roll. Sauces were delicious and not the usual variety from neighborhood Vietnamese restaurants. The Vietnamese Coffee was what's expected of one. Sweet and Strong. Do try them when you're in wanting for a flight as opposed to the usual sandwich fare.

chicken, lettuce, and salad
Jie G.

A solid option for anyone craving for Vietnamese food at SFO. Just got a simple tofu spring roll. Feels it is alright compared to other restaurants, but a healthy option with reasonable price for the airport $7.

Chicken Pho

BEST FOOD INSIDE SFO. PERIOD. The pho is so tender and the chicken tender is so juicy! Hits the spot JUST RIGHT! I came late and was really hungry, and I happened to be the last order of the day and the manager generously gave me an extra large portion - terrific people and service!

Good meal that is worth it.

Grand Hyatt at SFO is a must stay when traveling in and out of San Francisco. Everything about the…read morehotel is spectacular. Quail + Crane is situated on the 3rd floor of the airport connected hotel. If you can get a seat close to the floor to ceiling windows; one can see the airport and even some planes. I've only dined in for breakfast/or brunch, and so I can't speak much about the dinner offerings. But, I can say that the food has been delicious each time I've eaten here. I absolutely love Eggs Benedict, and so it's a no brainer for me if it is on the menu. One can upgrade the dish to include Thai style Dungeness crab cakes, and it is worth every penny. Service here is also warm and inviting. Depending on where one is going, the time of the flight, the time of season, and overall time one has; staying at Grand Hyatt SFO and getting a bite at sit down, in this case Quail + Crane; makes all the difference for a long journey ahead.

Restaurant is very open with great views of airport terminals and airfield. Servers were very friendly and helpful, especially Flora. I ordered a cocktail and we brought a bottle of wine from home to enjoy. The smoked poke was very good and also really cool when they took the lid off at the table. We also noted that it was the first time we've had something like this that had enough wontons on the side. Normally you always run out. Not here. The sushi was good but very small for the price. The last thing we ordered was pasta with foraged mushrooms. This was our least favorite. Was expecting a creamy earthy pasta with the mushrooms but the mushrooms almost seemed pickled. There was a very vinegary taste from the mushrooms that was off putting. The pasta was also very very al dente. Way too undercooked for us. Lastly this place can be a little pricey. Yes you're in the SF Bay Area and you're paying for convenience but to me pricey for what you get. Location and views are great and the staff is super friendly

Having said that, Mingalaba is probably the most authentic Asian restaurant I've eaten at so far. You can there that there's no shortcuts with the dishes, nothing is watered down, everything is just real. The coconut chicken soup is something out of this world. It's not spicy at all. I can't describe it but it was really delicious, as with all the other dishes. The service was amazing and they even amended some of our dishes so that we could feed it to our kid (non-spicy). I really like this restaurant. Only such a shame we live so far now and only just discovered it. I'd visit again if I'm around.

While there are a few highlights, several dishes don't quite justify the premium pricing. The Burmese beef and lamb curries are really good--the meat is consistently tender and the flavors are deep and well-developed. We also really enjoyed the rainbow salad and the paratha with curry sauce, though both felt overpriced for what they are. Other menu items have been disappointing: * Catfish Chowder: This was fairly average and bore a strange resemblance to pea soup. * Walnut Broccoli Chicken: Another mediocre dish that failed to leave an impression.
