This is such a great idea for a business. Nigerian small chops can be hard to find packaged like this. Everything we ordered was so tasty. We got two of the Boxochops Meats Platter and some bottles of Zobo for our group, and we enjoyed every bit of it. The turkey wings were probably my fave part. The inside is kinda small, but there are a couple tables if you want to dine-in. It probably can seat about 15 ppl inside across all the tables. I recommend this business! read more

Just excellent. Had the smoky jollof rice with goat. It was well seasoned and spicy but in a way that added to the dish. I tried the kunu drink which I wasn't expecting it to be fermented but was tasty though might not be to everyones liking, if you like kombucha I would suggest checking it out. The service is a little slow since it's just a small place in a strip mall but the food was fresh and worth the wait. I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in town. read more

Really good experience here. The jollof rice is so fragrant and packed with flavor. Puff puffs were freshly fried and very springy, not too sweet. Rice with designer stew was spicy but still really good. There were different meat parts that you could tell were stewed for a long time. One of the other things that impressed me were their homemade juices that they have bottled. I got the zobo which was refreshing and had a little kick to it. Would definitely come back! read more

I've been doing business with local Nigerian restaurants for decades but this one is different. This one is price gouging at its best. The takeout menu presented have the prices covered up with blue sharpie. To summarize, they charged $75 for food that is marginal at best and way overpriced. I expect you to make a profit but you're doing it the wrong way. read more

Too good to be true, was my first experience of jeloff rice, plantains and gizzard kabobs was very good. However, this week when I went back the kabobs were different. It was if this was not the same place. The kabobs didn't have the banging seasonings nor did they have the same mouth watering appearance. These looked unattractive and smaller in portion. For that reason, I will not be going back. Consistency is the key! read more

My partner was craving food from his home country so decided to surprise him with this. Listen, this food was literally INEDIBLE because of the grease. Please watch video and see pics for yourself. This would give anyone an upset stomach. The patties are also 70% dough and 30% filling. Do not recommend at all. read more

I love it here! The food is reminds me so much of back home! My favorite thing to order is the Ofada and asun! I go specifically on Sundays for the efo and I always pair it with a zobo. i always leave with a snack box to have for later. The fish roll and puff puff are always so fresh and tasty! everyone here is so nice and always greets me with a smile! I love how you can sign the wall and stamps that you've been there there. The music is always a vibe! read more

I was so excited to try this place!!!! I grew up eating lots of Nigerian food so having a place in Plano where I could grab a bite w friends and family is near and dear to my heart. Walking in the restaurant was cute and clean with a beautiful aesthetic and a cool signing wall. The lady at the front was kind and welcoming and let us know that it's family owned. I loved the feel of the place, I bought the hibiscus drink to sip on as I waited for my food (as someone who is picky I can tell you it was perfect mix between sweet and spiced). Since I was buying for the family, I took my food to go. It smelled so good on the way home that it was so hard not to eat in the car but I made it. My fam and I loved the jollof, egusi, pounded yam and fried plantains. The taste was good and traditional, you can def tell it's a Nigerian mama back in there cooking up a storm. They give us good portions for the price too which I was happy about ! I was too busy getting to eating that I forgot to take a pic of my main plate - but I included one of the Oreo puff puff which I also had to try! They were sooo tasty- have a generous amount of the traditional puff puff around the soft, yummy Oreo center. I will definitely be back soon #CHOPLIFEGANG read more

This is my 2nd time visiting Boxochops. I had a good experience the 1st time, hence the 2nd visit. This visit though was very disappointing. I went in today, which is Sunday, around 3:50. I spent $51 and I was unable to enjoy my food. First, the lady on the register did not place my order correctly. I asked for powdered sugar on all 3 orders of puff puff I ordered. They did rectify that issue. I ordered efo and asked for no meat and yet my soup had meat in it. All of the food was lukewarm. The puff puff was slightly hard and stale. The soup and pounded yam is too expensive for it not to be on point! I don't live in the area so I traveled an hour to get there. I wasted time, gas and money. Although the food is pretty good, unfortunately after this experience, I will not be visiting again. The economy is in too poor a shape to be wasting o. read more

We've driven past this small restaurant many times and I finally was curious enough to see what it actually was, glad I did! I've never had Nigerian food, but it's really tasty and there's something for both the timid and the adventurous. Only minor warning is the pepper kebabs are very good, but my girls found them a bit spicy. Hope they continue to have good success - I enjoy living in an area that can support so many kinds of cuisines! read more

Fabulous food! We will be coming here again. It's best to get your food to go, as the space is limited for eat-in dining. The service was prompt and friendly. read more

You know, when you visit a restaurant, you expect to try the food and experience the service. I cannot say I had either at Boxochops. We visited the restaurant on Saturday evening around 6:30 pm, closing time is listed as 9 pm on their website, google, etc. Based on the closing time, illuminated "open" sign, the fact that the door was unlocked, we expected to walk in and place an order with no issues. Upon entering, the cashier asked if we were there to pickup or place an order. We said we were going to place an order. He then explained that they weren't taking any new orders or serving incoming customers because they were working on catering orders. So, basically, they had food but did not sell any of it to us because they were using it for catering. Sounds like poor planing to me. We left empty handed, disappointed, frustrated, and extremely hungry. As we sat in our car, looking for another place to eat, we saw others walk in and leave out just as disappointed and famished as we were. It seems that customer service isn't a priority at this establishment and honestly, I find it ridiculous that they're not prepared to serve incoming customers and fulfill catering orders at the same time when they claim to do both. Furthermore, why wouldn't you all at least turn off the 'open' sign or make it clear from the outside that you weren't going to take any new orders? Make it make sense. Needless to say, I'm not going to be patronizing this place in the future. read more

I go here all the time but have had enoug! this place is overpriced and the customer service sucks! the dude at the register tried to argue when I asked why my order is not ready yet. mind you that I put in a order of puff puff. I waited in the store for 8-10 more min before I got my puff puff. the worst part about this is the food was too greasy and my stomach was hurting for 2 days after. Never going here again read more

Sooooo delicious 10/10 very flavorful and enough spice level. i paired it with fish roll that was amazing. Will definitely be returning soon. the food didnt take too long either read more

Great Nigerian influenced finger foods! Love the overpriced chin chin!!! I will definitely be back when I visit Plano again!

My friends and I came to visit this place on a sunday afternoon aroind 2pm. We waited over an hour for our dine in order. The place was ok. There is not much room to sit and eat, let alone wait for your order. The service was definitely lacking. There was only one person taking orders at the front. The food was mediocre. I would definitely not be back due to poor customer service. read more

DELICIOUS! It's so nice to finally have good Nigerian food in Plano (besides what's at home) and all of the flavors are so authentic and amazing!! It all tasted fresh and delicious, did I already say that? Honestly even if you've never tried Nigerian food in your life give it shot because this is the place to try. The server was so sweet to us and gave us free meat pie and chin chin. My friend who was new to Nigerian food, got to try all of the staple items. I love that they put a modern twist on some of the classics like Oreo puff puff, I'm trying that next time. I have literally no negatives and I will most definitely be back! For reference we got hibiscus juices (ginger-y goodness), beef suya (smokey, flavorful, and authentic), rice and stew with fried plantain (authentic and delicious), and the deluxe box with a goat skewer (puff puff, fish rolls, etc all delicious). read more

A nurse on her feet for 8+ hours might get a lil HONGREEEE (I know I spelt it wrong) !!! So I ordered from Boxochops, didn't mind the hour wait for door dash delivery, so I was good, mouth watering!! 1 hr 15 min goes by and they cancelled the order. Soooo did y'all run out of food? Was the Box not chopping anymore? I don't know but I will Neva order from this restaurant again. Period. To respond to Boxochops message, someone confirmed my order and then after an hour cancelled it. read more

Every dish is amazing! It's black owned and the food represents our ancestors with honor. The puff puff is amazing. The jollof tastes as if it just got off the plane from back home. Writing this is actually making me hungry even though I just had some. read more

Boxochops Modern African - Amazing food! - African Near Me - Plano, Texas

Today after work I was so excited to try this place. I have been seeing it all over social media. I ordered puff puff, jollof rice ,with beef, and plantain . The puff puff was amazing. The rice was pretty good also . However the meat was not cooked all the way . It was hard to chew . Besides that it was good. read more

The food is always yummy. You can't go wrong with Viv's ofada rice. The service is always on point and professional.

Excited to try a new cuisine. So many interesting things on the menu. Saw the "now open" sign but was in a hurry - so just bought a few item - puffs and goat kababs. Flavorful stuff, beautifully packed with care. Loved their wall mural, gives it a cozy vibe. Go try em out - support small business. read more

Ordered asun, suya, fishroll, Zobo drink and juice that totaled a bit over $76. Juice, Zobo and Fishroll were very good. Asun and suya were subpar. Service was good. Spot was decent and neat as well. I won't intentional go back as it's an hour away from me but if I'm in the area, I'd stop by for the Zobo drink and the fishroll. read more

Great experience and super nice staff! The food was bursting with flavor, spice, and everything nice! Great variety and the jolof rice was delicious. The house juice was great! Absolutely love the menu, it's giving classic African cuisine with a twist! The music was a whole vibe as well. Don't even think about it, just go! Lol read more

We were so dumb and came in after they closed but the woman working the front was so nice and helped us create a delicious box of goodies. Seriously unique place! Never had food around here like this. The flavors are extraordinary and we will definitely be back. Truly a bright star worth stopping at to try something new and experimental. Make sure you get Chin Chin!!! read more

It was my first time at this restaurant. It is small, and cozy. Love the artwork on the wall. The owners are very warm and when I asked them for water, after I had finished paying, they were kind enough to give me free bottled water. I feel bad because it's a small business and I know how hard it is to make money with all the overhead. However, the food was fantastic, and they also gave me some extra spice powder because I wanted it extra spicy on the side. There is a genuine air of hospitality. Food took a little bit of time, but I guess you have to not mind waiting an extra few minutes for good food :-) definitely going back there. The jollof rice and pepper hen was excellent. As well as the larger box with the kebabs, puff puff etc. had enough leftover to bring it home for my son. read more

there are not enough words to describe how much i love boxochops. i live maybe 5 minutes from stonebriar, and i have never seen any african foods anywhere in this vicinity - the other most exciting thing around is australian breakfast. seeing nigerian food, which isn't often found in dallas, genuinely fills me with joy. i've never heard of small chops as a phenomenon, but googling it brings up huge fried food party spreads and i think that's beautiful. this place has a lot of really delicious sweet and savory pastries, as well as meat kebabs, various west african entrees (i've seen chicken, beef, goat, fish, and snail as proteins so far) and in-house drinks like zobo, chapman, and kunu, as well as commercially sold soft drinks like coca-cola and vitamalt. my favorites are the spicy puff puff (like big unglazed donut holes, faintly sweet batter with a tiny bit of heat) beef samosas (beef-pea-carrot filling i think, served with thai chili sauce) and the meat pies. i also love the gizzard and chicken kebabs, which are very generously spiced, and the fish roll reminds me a lot of russian food, so i find it super comforting for my own reasons. the chapman drink is super refreshing and kind of like a mocktail in nature, while the zobo was spiced so strongly i found it slightly difficult to drink. i'll be updating this review whenever i manage to take photos of the food before i eat it or when i try their entrees (i am so intrigued by the peppered snails!!). finally, everyone at boxochops is super nice and will happily explain anything to you. i actually showed up twice at one point (having spent the whole day fasting and thus being slightly delirious), having forgotten that i took an item off my order and wondering why i didn't have it in my food bag earlier. i walked out fully reassured and bearing a free, freshly baked meat pie from the chef herself (because i'd switched to chicken pies earlier, being too impatient to wait). completely 180'd my mood. made my heart grow 3 sizes that day. changed my life. the moral of this story is that the employees at boxochops are so awesome and they have my heart forever. note: you can either order in advance online or check out whatever's available in person - if you're trying to get an assortment of pastries, i recommend ordering in advance to make sure they're fresh and ready at the same time. however, if you just want, like, two or three meat pies, you're probably good to go without preordering. also, because all the food is made fresh in small batches and people place a fair amount of catering orders at boxochops, there might be small waits for specific pastries sometimes. (they're worth the small waits. this is the cost of pure happiness.) read more

I have eaten at Boxochops a few times since they opened and I definitely enjoy the food. Their chicken pies are so so well seasoned. The asun and beef suya as well are always very tasty. The one issue I have is there's typically too much oil in the bowl whenever I get the suya or asun. And the asun has too many bones. Otherwise, great food! read more

The presentation of the food is first class. The food is packaged so nicely. The food is delicious! Definitely going back to try more on the menu. The lady taking my order was very nice. read more

The scotch egg was good. That's it. I got the big box with it, which is an assortment of nearly everything they offer. I also got two goat meat skewers. Downright disgusting sinew, and I paid extra for the displeasure. I love foreign cuisine, but this missed the mark entirely. I haven't had a meal that I've just thrown away until now. read more

Stopped by to sample a few items from this new restaurant. Everything was great! We tried the beef rolls, chicken meat pies, spring rolls, and puff puff fried Oreos. Beef rolls and spring rolls had a slight kick ... just the right amount. I'll be going back for sure! read more

Just meh...not here to drag anyone because I love supporting my people of color...just giving my one and only visit experience. First off, I was really looking forward to trying Jollof and enjoying it. Unfortunately it was not good. I ordered turkey with it. That was the toughest damn turkey that I have ever had in my life. I don't know if they gave me what had been overcooked and then overcooked it some more. Then add to that the fact that I ordered for curbside pickup...got there and waited in my car for about 15 minutes after the time I was told to pickup my food. Ended up going inside and had to still wait another 30-35 minutes after 4-5 more people who were already waiting. Come to learn...they hadn't even done anything close to getting it prepared. I don't know if it was just because of it being the end of day or what but I won't be going back...AND I tipped online prior to picking up the order!!! read more
