Two of us had lunch here. It is counter service. The menus has an excellent selection and comes across as both tasty and healthy. The price is reasonable and the serving a well sized for all but the super hungry. The bathroom is clean. Parking is available but very crowded at lunch time. We got the Salmon salad and the yellow curry vegetables. Both dishes had great flavor and fresh ingredients the flavor of the curry vegetables is good enough to be considered one of the vegetarian meals in Palo Alto. The only negative (which is easy for the restaurant to fix) was super aggressive wasp trying to get the salmon. As the only seating is outside have to swat at a wasp all meal was disconcerting. They need wasp traps big time.

I have ordered the Tofu (All Toppings) 15 times so far in the 8 months since I discovered the chain, and has become a good reason to visit Palo Alto. Great flavor and vegetarian options.

Everything on the menu is gluten free! As someone who doesn’t eat gluten, this place is a godsend. Located across from Stanford, very convenient! Great food.

Places like Asian Box make me cry tears of joy as a celiac. Its not common I have complete peace of mind that my meal is going to be made with gluten free ingredients and is not going to be cross-contaminated with gluten due to a cooking line. I ordered a banh mi for the first time in my entire life. The bread did not fall apart and held up while I ate all the delicious insides. I did not order either sauce (mayo or Maggi). The sandwich was still wonderfully flavorful without the sauces, and it was probably better because the lemongrass on the pork shone through.

The food tastes very bad because it is far too sugary. The Vietnamese hot chicken box has cubed chicken breast slathered in extremely sweet sauce. It tastes like nothing that has ever touched the nation of Vietnam. You cant taste the chicken at all underneath all the sugar.

The garden box is the best, I could eat it everyday! I love the coconut yellow curry and the peanut sauce. All the toppings are super fresh. A delicious lunch!

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!Our family chose Asian Box after reading ALL of the 5 star ratings. We were convinced that this was going to be a great dinner choice and infact it was one of the worse.My daughter does NOT like peanuts! Her order specifically did NOT include peanuts, her meat choice was chicken. Upon getting our boxes as we ordered and went home, my daughters box had peanuts in them and another order had been screwed up. They switched the orders around. I didnt get to eat what I had ordered. After trying to eat and just forget about the mess up my daughter and I both could not enjoy our meal. Such a diservice to locals like us who frequent that plaza almost daily. We couldnt just go back, Asian Box closes at 9pm and we would have just wasted more time of a problem they created.The shrimp spring roll is $5. It is actually one whole spring roll that is cut into two pieces. The dipping sauce was ridiculously spicey we all ended up discarding $15 dollars down the drain along with the other two orders that were screwed up.This place is pricey and I personally wont dine here again, but if you choose to dine here, be cautious of how your order is handled. If you are someone who cannot ingest spicey sauces, skip the sauce on the spring rolls.

First, we tried to order online but that was capability was not working and the website did not have pricing, which was inconvenient. Found out upon ordering in person that this place is VERY overpriced:/ I’ve never spent $12-17 per person on a small hotbox. Shrimp were tiny and my meal felt more like a snack. Also, $12 for 2 mini spring rolls????! Are you kidding me?!! We will NOT be back.

9-25-21:Stopped by for lunch before the UCLA vs Stanford football 🏈 game. Tried the Vietnamese hot 🔥 chicken 🐔 and was disappointed. Tasted like they poured that Thai sweet chili sauce over the dish... the kind you get at an Asian market.If I wasnt so hungry, I think I would not have liked it as much... Not sure if I would be back OR I would try something different.
