Asian Box

As a person with celiac disease, or the practical equivalent of an extreme gluten allergy, this place is a true godsend! I spoke to a regional manager on the phone to confirm that it is a dedicated gluten-free establishment, and she not only confirmed that for me, but also told me that I need to try their gooey chocolate chip cookies! In general, I’ve really enjoyed their healthy offerings, like various rice, veggie, and protein combo boxes. I eat Asian Box frequently with my family, who CAN eat gluten, and even though it’s all gluten free, my family has never complained of a lack of flavor or normal textures. It’s good for everyone, in all of the ways. 🙂

Really great food here for actually a pretty reasonable price considering it's downtown Mountain View. I really enjoyed the selection of box specials that they have on the menu, the quality of the ingredients, and the speed of the service. You can of course customize your own meal but I like how they put their specials together. You order at the counter (no Apple pay yet unfortunately) and from there there's open seating indoor and outdoor. They have a great selection of sauces and seasonings that you can add to your bowl, but I would recommend you're careful with the hot sauce cause it's actually pretty hot. I normally like a good bit of spice and I can deal with a good amount of spice and this was a little over my threshold so I had to pace myself through the meal. But great place! I would definitely recommend a visit.

It was a pleasant surprise finding a completely gluten free Asian restaurant. I haven't had a banh mi in years, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. The gluten free bread they use was really tasty, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, almost like a baguette. The fillings were good, and they are accommodating when it comes to (other) allergies (egg in my case).

This asian box gave me good poisoning because the chicken was not cooked properly! My box was very messy as well, they didn’t even try to close the lid on the box all the way so when the worker handed it to me the food almost fell. The kitchen looks very unsanitary and it smells bad in there. Never coming here again. The asian box in Palo is way better, I suggest going there instead. If I could rate 0 stars I would.
