1/2 chicken and 1/2 gyro meat over rice with sauces
Caroline J.

Yum! Pros: Flavorful tender meat( 1/2 gyro meat and 1/2 chicken Very generous portions! Extremely kind employees who were helpful with explaining items I had questions about. Sauces-all good flavor and the red/hot spicy sauce was actually very spicy which is a good thing! Price! Cons: Nothing!

Chicken platter

Got the chicken platter and it was delicious! Great large portion for the price. Chicken was juicy and fresh. The dining area was clean and had plenty of seating. The service was a little slow but I think the food quality and quality made it up.

Chicken platter with white, green, and red sauces

So, I'm reeeallllly sick and tired of social media overhyping a lot of restaurants, but I must admit, social media came through on this one! The hype is real. I was in the mood for something tasty but straddling the line of healthy and unhealthy, so I figured some sort of "bowl" meal would hit the spot. This has been on my list for a minute (here and the DMV location), and I'm so happy that RVA has one now. I visited on a Saturday around noon and the place was empty. The guy behind the counter was quite patient with this first-timer. Although I wanted to try the fish platter, I decided that the chicken would be a good default choice for my first experience. As I was leaving, the guy arrogantly said something to the effect of, "See you next time," and I jokingly replied, "You're that confident it's THAT good?" Damn, he was right. I'll definitely be back. The platter is one of the most visually unappealing dishes I've recently had, but I'm not the type to turn my nose up at something that's not plated perfectly. The best tasting food isn't always photo-worthy. Took my to-go order home and it survived well on the 10-minute drive. Good lawd almighty, this ish was incredible! Chicken over rice and salad topped with flavorful sauces. Simple, but it's seasoned to perfection. I love a good green sauce (sorry to the cilantro haters) and got extra on the side. Next time, I don't think I'll get lettuce with my salad - just cucumbers, tomatoes, and chickpeas - so that I don't have to focus on eating all the lettuce at once and it can reheat more easily the next day. Speaking of which, love the aluminum packaging; I just popped the leftovers in the oven. I can't emphasize enough how amazing it is that they're open so late (midnight or 3am depending on the day). So helpful when almost every other restaurant shuts down at 9pm. I. Want. Some. More.

Finally a chicken&rice place that's ACTUALLY just chicken and rice. No other fancy options aside from choice of chicken vs gyro, salads, rice, and sauces all in the familiar silver tray that's reminiscent of halal trucks you get in NYC. It's fast, efficient, and all for only about $12. Best of all they're open late nights. Definitively one of my favorites in RVA.

Platters - mixed chicken and lamb.
Dea M.

It's giving NYC food truck in RVA with a vibrant atmosphere and vibrant flavors! I had been to the location in Tyson's Corner VA so when I saw a review for the RVA location, I headed to see what it was all about! I kept it simple and had the mixed chicken and lamb platter, heavy on the veggies and a lighter on the rice with white sauce and a SPLASH of red sauce- because it packs a spicy punch! And, it did not disappoint! I prefer the chicken solo but I decided to mix it up! The lamb is typical gyro meat but the chicken is seasoned and so good! While I stuck with the classic platter, I will say that I was sad to see that some of the menu options that I saw on an IG review were not on the menu - hello fried fish platter and loaded fries! Please bring those back because I would love to try them! I must have gotten there at a great time because I went right up to the counter to place my order. No more than 5 minutes elapsed and there was a line! I expect it to be a popular spot. The portions are huge, the service is fast and they stay open super late! If you're in the area, check it out.

Excellent service, nice employees, clean space, and even better food! I could drink the white sauce. So excited to have this chain in Richmond, can't wait to go back already.

This is an easy to find restaurant in what I believe is downtown Richmond. It was clean and bright. The service was amazing and although the menu is simple the flavor is not. We ordered the platter. You get cucumber salad on the side then basmati rice, mine was topped with chicken, gyro, corn, white, red, and green sauce. So much flavor and you get a lot of food! I was with a group of 4 and none of us were able to finish our food but not to worry as it reheats very well! Can't wait to be in the area to try again! Hopefully more locations coming soon!

Picture it a platter of food for $12 (yes you read right) that's filled with fluffy seasoned rice, tender gyro and chicken (they offer fish and falafel too), black beans, chickpeas, corn, salad with a cucumber and tomato mix topped with white, red and green sauce as much as your little heart desires: it's not a dream it's a real place @dcgthe_best. Located downtown near VCU this cool vibe eatery is what your palate has been missing! Each bite is full of flavor so much so we ate it two days in a row, lol. It's seriously that good. Service is quick as its chipotle style spot (pick what you want) and food is served piping hot. Staff is nice and will help you navigate through the food options. You have different vessels to choose from (fries or pita) but the rice is stellar. If in the area do yourself a favor and check them out.

Ordered takeout of Gyro platter with rice, salad and green sauce on the side. It was great. Loved the green sauce, spicy and tangy. Could not finish the meal because I was so full. Great food and good prices.

They are clearly very big on sustainability with their compostable take out containers and utensils. I didn't realize when I first got there that they have a more limited menu in the morning comprised of only two meal items: breakfast burrito and breakfast bowl. However, despite this I feel like the food was great! First off, the portions are literally enormous. I came away so FULL n had enough leftovers for two extra medium sized meals after. The sauce is great, the food is nicely cooked. It feels healthy and well balanced without sacrificing flavor. I dont know how any of their other bowls are but the breakfast one is pretty solid and I don't normally appreciate traditional breakfast foods all that much. Generous amounts of everything including avocado in the bowl.

We could have easily split one meal, and had to take leftovers home. The food itself was flavorful with a bunch of fresh vegetables and ingredients. The proteins were prepared well. We ordered chili oil on the side, but it wasn't very spicy and more fragrant. I was imagining more of a umami chili crisp and would skip next time. Service was fast, we received our meal in under 10 minutes. There is seating both indoor and outdoors, and ample street parking nearby.

You can tell that they actually care about their customers and want people to leave happy, not just make a quick sale. Everything was handled professionally, and the service was great from start to finish. I really appreciated how comfortable and respected I felt the whole time. The quality was also much better than I expected, and everything looked and felt great. It's not often that you find a place where the service, quality, and overall experience all come together like this. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good service and a positive experience. I'm very happy that I came here, and I will absolutely be coming back again. Thank you to everyone who helped make my experience such a good one!

I would definitely order it again. I also ordered a Beetroot Smoothie for my husband & hopefully he will get to try it later this week. I put it in my freezer so I will see how it stands up flavor wise to being frozen. As for food, I ordered the Jerk Chicken wrap. It was tasty. The chicken was tender & flavorful. It was moderate level spicy & the veggies in the wrap complemented the flavor of the chicken well. I look forward to returning to The Beet Box and trying more menu options. I highly recommend trying their options if you enjoy healthy & flavorful food & smoothie choices.

It is VERY loud inside, there is nothing in the restaurant to absorb sound. So it is hard to talk to anyone at your table if there are more than 3 parties inside. The tables were small and wobbly. The chairs were hard, uncomfortable, and small. The restaurant is mostly tables with chairs like this so there is no where to put your purse but on the floor. We ordered a beer and they handed us a tall can with no glass. We had to ask for a glass and they didn't pour the beer for us. This was the manager, might i add. I will not be going back here.

There were a few spaces available, despite the discourteous person parked in the drive doing who know's what. We were seated immediately upon entering, the atmosphere reminds me of an upscale sports bar, which I suppose Toast is on the surface. There are many TVs to get lost in, so it can be distracting during a date. Our server, Emma, was nice, she seemed a little, pre-occupied, but I don't remember being dissatisfied with the service, so it must have been perfectly fine. I ordered the beef bolognese and my partner chose the chicken and fries (reminded me of Chik-fil-a). Our meals were good, but not as flavorful and delicious as the Hanger steak I had the first time in. I had the sour beer on tap, and it was delicious. It had a strange name that I cannot recall.

It was a nice experience to eat two sandwiches in one and have it be so delicious! I upgraded my side to the Bacon Brussel Sprouts which were fried perfectly. To finish off the meal, I ordered a piece of Key Lime Pie. It was the authentic variety that is more tart than sweet, which is as it should be! Side note, the gentleman sitting next to me didn't think I could finish all this food. When I dusted it all off that he gave me a fist bump as congratulations!

None of us had been before and I'll never pass up Thai food. We got the massaman curry while splitting the veggie gyoza with one of the kids and summer rolls with everyone. Also, I tried multiple bites of the red curry from one kid and from the other a tofu noodle. All in all, I'd say: sure, it's ok. I think they have good southeast Asian food, and okay Thai food. The curry was heavy on liquid and not as much on protein and veg. The gyoza were covered in dried garlic, which left little chance for any other flavors to come through, and what was there was mild. The summer rolls were super-sized and tasty for sure, probably the best of what we had IMO. The crispy tofu noodle was middle of the road. I am not against any of this food, but much of it came up short. The service was good in some cases with quick attention at first and diminishing from there.
