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
Cathrin P C.

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
Jenny T.

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

Jordan F.

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.

Cheryl G.

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.
Lorena C.

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.

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

Saturday night, family dinner, and feeling adventurous. We decided to try Nepalese/Himalayan food…read moreand ordered chicken momos, bara with eggs, the famous lamb shank, chicken tikka masala, tandoor prawns, paneer tikka masala, and garlic naan. It was a flavorful adventure for our taste buds. The lamb shank was tender and fell off the bone easily. The chicken tikka masala and tandoor prawns were both very flavorful. We were less impressed with the bara with eggs, but the garlic naan was a hit. We ended up ordering a second serving. This was our first time trying paneer. To us, it tasted similar to tofu, with a softer, chewy texture. It was fun to try something new. We would definitely return the next time we're craving Nepalese/Himalayan food.

Service was excellent, checked in frequently, and gave recommendations for our meal. We had gotten the aduwa sake, strawberry sake, crab cakes, gobi manchurian, malal broccoli, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan. Everything was solid. I'd say we both liked the lamb vindaloo the most. The meat just melted, sauce was great. The crab cakes were my partner's second. It had a nice light crunch to it, and didn't feel heavy at all. I liked the gobi manchurian 2nd but I'm a sucker for cauliflower. It was a bit too spicy for my partner though. The garlic naan were also piping hot which was great. They were still closing up shop and eating together at the end. The vibe is great here, and it is nice to discover another option when we're in town. Hopefully, we'll have more time to take things in next time.

I stopped by on a Saturday early when they opened. The place is fun with multiple options to play…read more I ordered a Chicken and mushroom clay pot rice. It took 20 minutes to prepare, but I was playing air hockey and time flew quickly. Rice was nice with soy sauce.

I agree with the other commenters that this restaurant seems to have some consistency issues…read more Ordered the pork ribs clay pot rice and added lap cheung to it. The first thing I noticed was that there was really not many pieces of ribs, maybe they made the ribs portion smaller to make room for the lap cheung I ordered? The dish description also says that it includes taro, but I didn't have a single piece of taro in my pot. Strangely, although this place seems to share a kitchen with Social Eatery, the rice was cooked much more poorly here, which is obviously a shame for a place specializing in clay pot rice. It seems like the rice had too much water added, so it was a bit overcooked - you couldn't feel the "single grain" mouthfeel texture you should expect from well-cooked, high quality rice. Since the rice was too mushy, it obviously didn't crisp well either. Though it had some small amount of bits stuck to the edges of the metal (not clay!) pot, it was definitely not the super crispy, well browned "faan ziu" I expect, and not at all like the pictures featured in some earlier reviews of this restaurant.

We dined at Quail & Crane twice during our stay in San Francisco and loved it both times…read more On the first night, we ordered from the regular menu. We did reservations online prior to coming. Service was prompt and attentive from the moment we sat down. The cocktails were very aesthetically very nice in how they were presented and delicious, and the food was just as good. On our second night, we stuck to drinks and sushi. The nigiri prices were a little steep, but the quality was great. The sushi and the rosé were both excellent. It's also a gorgeous space, which makes the experience even better. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, and we'd happily return.

Quail + Crane -- An Incredible Breakfast Experience…read more We stayed at the Hyatt SFO for a little staycation and received complimentary breakfast at Quail + Crane the following morning. I honestly wasn't expecting breakfast to become one of the highlights of our stay, but it absolutely did. First, the setting is beautiful. Sitting there enjoying breakfast with the gorgeous view immediately made the morning feel special. The freshly squeezed orange juice was fantastic, and I have to give an unexpected amount of praise to the fruit plate -- possibly the best fruit plate I've ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, perfectly ripe, beautifully presented, and actually tasted as good as it looked. Then came breakfast! I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Dungeness crab, accompanied by potatoes and greens, and it was phenomenal. The eggs were beautifully prepared, there was a generous amount of crab, and everything worked perfectly together. My husband created his own omelette with bacon, ham, spinach and cheese, also with potatoes, and his meal was equally fantastic. Everything arrived fresh, hot and beautifully presented. But what really took our experience to another level was the service. Our waitress was the ONLY server working the entire room, which was completely full, and somehow she made us feel as though we were the only people in the restaurant. I genuinely don't know how she did it. She was attentive, warm, personable and never once made us feel rushed or forgotten. Watching her take care of an entire dining room while still providing that level of individual attention was impressive. She deserves tremendous recognition. We also had the pleasure of meeting Shawn, who I believe was a manager, and he embodied hospitality. He personally welcomed us, asked how our stay was going, whether we were enjoying our view and Club Level accommodations, and of course how we were enjoying the restaurant. It never felt like a scripted manager check-in. He was genuinely kind, professional and interested in our experience. That interaction stayed with us. We would happily return knowing Shawn was in the building because he made us feel that well taken care of. My only constructive feedback would be regarding our initial interaction with the host. The welcome felt noticeably less warm than the rest of our experience. We were asked to wait approximately 10 minutes despite several tables appearing to be available, and the interaction was fairly dry, without much of a greeting or smile. It wasn't a major issue, but because the hospitality from everyone else was so exceptional, the difference stood out. A warmer initial welcome would make the experience seamless from beginning to end. That said, once we were seated, Quail + Crane absolutely knocked it out of the park. Beautiful views, fantastic food, incredibly fresh ingredients and service that made an already wonderful staycation even more memorable. Shawn and our incredible waitress -- thank you. You are exactly what great hospitality looks like. We will absolutely be back.
