I revisited after a while and noticed that this restaurant is under new management, featuring many new dishes and offering smoothies and boba drinks in addition to their regular fare. The new owner was friendly and kind, offering me a complimentary green tea while I waited for my order. The Power of Protein bowl with Spicy Chicken was a great value at $13.95; it tasted good and came with salad, japchae, pickled beets, a boiled egg, and a choice of rice and sauce. The Beef Bulgogi Kimbap was made on-site using fresh ingredients and was also delicious. The prices for both dishes were very reasonable, and the portion sizes were generous. She even gave me a stamp card, which offers a free meal after purchasing nine meals over $10. I will definitely return to dine here soon. read more

Box'd Kitchen - Bulgogi Kimbap and spicy fried checken - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Stopped by for dinner, the ladies working were incredibly friendly! They served halal rice/chicken/lamb and Korean food! I tried the chicken and lamb, the rice was very flavorful and it came with a size of chicken masala, the chicken was very tender. We also got the bulgolgi rice bowl which was also very good. We got the kimbap that we enjoyed. Overall we had a very good meal and they service was great. Judging by the older bad reviews this place is completely different and I would recommend giving it a try. read more

I've gone back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. If Box'd were more expensive it would definitely be a 3. But it's a good value so if that's important to you, consider it a 4. The prices and portions are great. The meat here is very flavorful, and you don't have to choose between rice and salad. Your bowl has both. The chicken is good. The lamb is advertised as coming off a vertical roasting spit, but it's definitely NOT carved to order. It's chunky crisp around the edges like it's been reheated. And don't bother orderinh your plate with sauce on the side. They can't do it. That's right. They inexplicably do not have containers to give you your sauce separately. FWIW we ordered one with sauce, one without, and they couldn't get that right. We were given no sauce on either. read more

Box'd Kitchen - This is what your lamb bowl looks like without the sauce. Pretty dry and crunchy. - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Came here and got the halal chicken over rice, and it was good! Flavors were good and it comes with one side where one of the options is another type of chicken. Good value and good food I will be going back! read more

Very solid halal food! I tried the chicken and lamb over rice with salad. I got mild as the spice level and to me it was still pretty hot. The sauce helped with the spice though. I thought the meat was cooked okay but could have been served a little fresher like the lamb for instance. However this place was really good and I would order from here again! read more

Boxd kitchen used to be my favorite go to spot, until they changed their formula. You used to get this thinly sliced delicious steak with sauces so good on top of it, a salad to die for and the perfect tortilla to go alongside it. That's no longer the case. They changed to this unappetizing steak, a salad that just doesn't hit the same and for some reason a side of tiki masala that isn't very good. Go back to the old ways Boxd... unfortunately I will no longer be ordering from here which is sad to say. Best of luck Boxd kitchen read more

Box'd Kitchen - Steak Over Rice & Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Lunch - lamb over rice and salad It is very similar to the H guys. It is very good! I enjoy the salad and the dressing more for box'd. The normal spice is pretty spicy but still good. I'd def get it again! read more

Box'd Kitchen - Lamb over Rice & Salad ~$11 Legit - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Really wish they went back to the old meat over rice format. The new one is awful, and I have no idea why they changed it. Boxd kitchen if you see this, please go back to the black container meals! read more

The service was decent. I don't know, if the person with the other reviews had the same food as me. First the flavors together don't make sense and then the food isn't the best of qualities. I genuinely tried to like the food. I ordered to go but decided to eat there. Had a few bites and couldn't do it. Took the rest home and tried again and still a no go. I tried eating it three times. It's just a no for me. The employees are nice. read more

Box'd kitchen was great! We've been on a Mediterranean binge lately and we couldn't miss one so close to home. We got the chicken and the lamb over rice and it didn't disappoint. The salad had a super flavorful sesame dressing and the chicken was delicious. Sauce wasn't that spicy but the meal itself was extremely flavorful. Lamb was good too! Definitely prefer this place over halal guys. P.S. The store around the corner. It can be deceiving if you use google maps but its right next to blackfinn. read more

I thought maybe the food was good enough to try justifying a second visit. This time the same person at the counter was sleeping and I had to wait 10-15 minutes for him to wake up, at which point he basically tossed my order at me. While the food is amazing, I don't think it's worth getting abused for it, so that's my update. read more

I ordered the steak over rice & salad & was pleasantly surprised! The steak was tender & had great flavor & you can tell that it's actually steak meat. That white sauce is divine & they are really generous with it which I love. Spicy sauce has a great kick to it. I really enjoyed the salad. It's not the normal cheap lettuce that a lot of platter places offer - its a mix of fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, & cabbage. They also put a different sweet sesame, peanutty(?) type dressing on it which was a nice surprise. Overall, it was good & fresh, but not as tasty as some other platters I've had, like DCG in Georgetown. They def take the win for freshness though & I like how the platters aren't over-salted. The asian sesame-type dressing is delicious, but makes it seem as though the platter is going through an identity crisis. Overall, solid platter! Will definitely be back to try the lamb. read more

I ordered Box'd Kitchen for a late weekday lunch, realizing it was almost 2 PM and I basically hadn't eaten all day. At that point, desperate to get something filling FAST, I ordered their lamb gyro over rice through their website and it was ready in five minutes. While the rice bowl was good, it wasn't the best gyro over rice I've ever had. I think they could work on evening out the proportions a little more. There's a ton of rice compared to the meat, and the lamb itself is in small slices, so I found myself rationing pieces of lamb as I worked through the bowl. There's also a lot of sauce, though I personally didn't mind. The spicy sauce definitely has a kick to it, so if your tolerance is a little low just be mindful! read more

I am glad that I found this place! The food is very tasty and refreshing. The owner of the restaurant is so kind. I plan on revisiting again when I'm in the area. read more

A better version of Halal Guys! Even tried DCG close by but would easily say Box'd beats both in taste and quantity. The owner really takes his time to take care of each order. You wont be disappointed read more

Had chicken with rice lunch. Very nice portion and flavor. The white sauce that came with it was excellent. The red sauce was really spicy. In fact, I ordered online and specified mild. Mine came with the spicy red sauce drizzled over it, so it was NOT MILD. If you don't like spicy, make sure they omit this sauce. The peanut dressing on the greens was really good. Service was fast and we parked briefly in the lot next door, to do pickup. read more

Box'd Kitchen - a meal in a container - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Box'd Kitchen reopened with a new owner and new employees. Food is greater than before, and bubble tea is amazing. I read a lot of bad comments about the previous owner and his customer service. Now, you do not have to worry about hurting your feelings. The new owner was very kind and nice, so I felt very welcomed. The food tastes pretty and has enough meat, rice, and salad. I will definitely come back to try other menus soon. If you come to the Mosaic District area, this is the place you want to come to enjoy your meal and drink. read more

Quick service nice staff! Recommended getting the sauce on the side and salad in separate container. Food was okay.

To start off- they cook their food with a lot of attention and care! By far the best chicken and rice place around. It even beats Halal guys!! read more

I got the bulgogi kimbap and lychee rose slush it was very good. They kimbap was big and worth the price and lychee rose was delicious.

This place is awesome! I came here with a couple of my buddies when it first opened. It has a very modern look with spaced out seats for indoor dining. The owner was super friendly and helped us pick what food to order. I got the chicken over rice and salad. The chicken was very moist and flavorful, and the sauces were very tasty. The spicy sauce on top had some zing and complimented the meal perfectly. They had lots of bottled drink options as well. Very affordable, and can't wait to come back again! read more

i really enjoyed the chicken and salad over rice. i also got the peach mojito fruit tea which was delicious. will be back!

Great customer service. Clean. Covid precautions observed. The lamb rice and salad platter is the highlight. You will likely need double meat. The white sauce is very tasty. Overall outstanding place to grab something quick and filling to eat read more

Love this place! Simple fresh food and you get a large portion for the price. I live in the apartments and come here 2-3 times a week. They use chicken thighs for their chicken bowls and I think that's really important. Highly recommend! read more

Was in the area and stopped by some food with my kids. Got the chicken over rice & salad without the spicy sauce (b/c of kids), and we really enjoyed it. Very generous portions, and the staff are friendly/provide great service. They also sell bubble tea/smoothies, which was also good. Will be back again to try the same dish with the spicy sauce. read more

Box'd does it again! I have ordered the same thing 4 times the last two weeks. Two orders of chicken and rice one with double meat. Every. Single. Time. This HITS! Their hot sauce, is the freshest thing on earth every time. I could eat this same meal for eternity and it kind of feels like I do already. Love it. The only reason I don't review / post this more is because I have been wanting to post a picture because it just looks pretty; however, I get too excited snd eat it immediately. So finally, a picture of this bomb restaurant. read more

Box'd Kitchen - Chicken over rice and salad, double meat - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

The food and service is great! The shop has been renovated and it looks amazing. The owners have been super nice.

Went here during slower hours, and the food was great. Service was awesome and employees were super nice. Lady behind the counter gave us complementary water bottles, and gave us a sample of their tofu kimbap (amazing by the way, i'd never had kimbap before). Chicken over rice was great, not too spicy. Thai tea was perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely gonna be back here! read more

Ive been to this place a few times and just once I was somewhat greeted. The owner usually has this nasty attitude making you feel like you are are asking him a favor for his food. I have decided that ill never come here. If your esteem is low enough then tge food is actually pretty good. read more

This spot is absolutely bangin. Better than chipotle, better than moby dick, best food out there. The staff is also super friendly and help explain the menu when asked. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone wanting a great meal. read more

Ordered delivery and super good! Chicken over rice and falafel over salad. Both were great. The right amount of spice and big servings

What a tasty hidden gem! We should have more places around here from Charlottesville if they're all yummy like Box'd. I loved my veggie bowl with falafel! There was great flavor in the sauces, rice, salad...altogether. straight. goodness. I was skeptical of fast casual Mediterranean after another experience from a place in the mosaic. If you're in the neighborhood, don't miss this place! read more

Giving two stars because this is a watered down version of authentic halal food. The food is fresh but it's bland

I never write bad reviews but wow. I have never experienced such bad customer service. I asked for extra spicy lamb over rice. When I got there to pick it up I told the owner himself that it looked like there wasn't much white sauce but a lot of red so it I could get more white sauce, and he YELLS at me that IT IS NOT FREE AND TO GET MY FOOD AND GET OUT! I was shocked. I have never ever been treated that way or even yelled out in that manner by anyone working at a restaurant let alone the owner. This place has great food but the service makes me never want to come back and give money into this place. I don't understand how or why he thought he could treat or talk to a customer that way. Still in shock as I am typing this. While the food might be good, the owner is horrible and I will never come back here. He really needs to learn how to treat customers. read more

Food is very good and the person working was really cool. Inside of the place needs better ventilation. We really wanted to eat inside but it was really Smokey after he made our food. Other than that, amazing place. read more

We love Box'd Kitchen! This place has quickly become one of our favorite local restaurants! Food is delicious and the portions are super generous! Great price. All nutrition info is posted on their website and their meat is halal. read more

Been here two days in a row. Delicious. I've tried the lamb and chicken so far. Probably going back to try the veggie bowl today. The spicy meat and sauce against the super fresh salad is great and the portion size is huge. read more

This place is great! Really awesome lunch options made quick and fresh with good-sized portions. The owner is super kind and our chicken and falafel were cooked to order! They make their sauces fresh in house each day and honestly everything was delicious. Veggies were really fresh too and they really took a lot of care putting our order together. Highly recommend! read more
