Asian Box

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 wasn't 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.

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.

I was really excited to go in-person in ordering Asian Box since I would frequently order through doordash. I was greeted at the door but the service I was provided from the cashier was really off. As I was ordering, she didn’t seem like she wanted to be there and annoyed with me when I asked for extra lids/plastic bag. Maybe she was having a bad day? Regardless, I maintained my respect and politeness. The soy and garlic steak was super good though! I appreciated the tamarind sauce on top because it wasn’t too spicy. Thank you!
