Best WLM Reviews
Horrible place. The food was not fresh, the salmon I ordered was cooked at an unknown time, then heated up in the microwave and thrown on top of my salad. And in general everything was sloppy and careless. The tables were greasy and dirty from food, I had to wipe them myself and it was dirty all around. I'm afraid to imagine what's going on in the kitchen... I don't recommend this place, it's awful.
We came here on a Wednesday night and, as always, the parking lot was a disaster (expect to spend some time finding a spot), but it was worth it: we had some delicious food here. My Chicken Curry was really tasty - I'd highly recommend the yellow curry sauce. The option of making your own box is really useful too and let my daughter pick exactly what she wanted. There's not that much seating inside (just a single bench), but there were a couple of tables outside too. Everyone was really friendly too.
Good spot for a quick bowl of rice and protein. Friendly staff and quick service. Some outdoor seating
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.
Overall, pretty good food, but a bit expensive for what you really get. A convenient place to go and get a rice and protein bow, and the food is good, not anything special though. Good location, though the parking lot was very busy when we went.
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 didn't 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 couldn't 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.
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 can't taste the chicken at all underneath all the sugar.
I have eaten at Asian Box several times...and was pleased with the food.. however today I was not.. I ordered the featured Grandma's Pho with chicken... I planned to eat there.... the soup came in a take out container with the condiments in a paper bag...The soup was completely tasteless... supposedly Chicken Bone broth... the noodles were cut into small pieces... I did not finish it needless to say... unfortunately a waste of money...
Also when I went in several staff were discussing paperwork at the main counter.. a not very welcoming atmospher...not sure if I
will ever try again.. too bad..
