The parking lot can be challenging at lunch time but once we were there, the staff was helpful and things went fast and smooth. The chicken bone broth soup was good and it was nice to eat in a gluten free and safe environment. Beyond the soup though, and some tasty sauces, no one in our group was super impressed with the food. It was fine, but most items were bland.

Delicious food options that are full of flavor!

Ordered takeout or delivery at least a dozen times with no issues whatsoever, even when ordering through a delivery service. It's a fast food place - you order ahead or at the counter and stand around for your food.
This location is entirely gluten-free! I really enjoy their banh mi sandwich - the bread is great and the sandwich is packed, even though it's not a "traditional" banh mi. We get it in a 4-pack that comes with cookies and spring rolls.
For those trying to avoid peanuts, a lot of their sauces and dishes have peanuts as a garnish or ingredient - including both of their spring rolls.

Absolutely delicious and even more so because we know it’s safe! Very friendly staff as well. Always enjoy eating here when we’re in the area!

I love Asian Box. They have multiple locations which makes it convenient when you need a safe gluten free meal on a pinch.
My favorites are the Bahn Mi (amazing gf bread), Miss Jones, and Spring Rolls. This location also has boba milk tea drinks (not all of them do).

Always a safe, fabulous option! My favorite box is the Miss Jones, followed by the Sweet & Sour Chicken or the Banh Mi.

This is one of our family’s go-to restaurants. Our son with celiac loves the salmon box. And our son who doesn’t have celiac says that the tofu spring rolls are his hands down favorite food in the world.
The recent review sharing the story of the employee stating that the restaurant uses soy sauce (with wheat) rather than tamari sauce was startling to me. I emailed the company, and I heard back from someone who said that this was staff error in describing the soy sauce: “The soy sauce we use in all our stores is and always will be Tamari soy sauce.” They will share my email with staff for further training. I also received a nice email from the CEO, apologizing for the staff confusion.

Uhhhhh. Went here first as it seemed the safest place in Palo Alto. Everything but two dishes had soy sauce in the ingredient listing,
I asked if they meant tamari, since soy sauce in the US has wheat as an ingredient. They went and checked the back and said nope, it’s soy sauce (with wheat). the cashier was super nice in grabbing out the allergen/ingredient binder and helping me find something without soy sauce.
I ordered the miss jones, which was very tasty. I got freaked out when the hard boiled Carmel egg looked soy marinated, but the cashier looked it up and said it was fish sauce and tamarind. Phew!
Food was good and tasted fresh. People working there were nice and cared. Still couldn’t shake the feeling I had narrowly escaped disaster.
They have delicious food and some of the best GF free bread I’ve had in their bahn mi! I’ve eaten here multiple times and never gotten sick.

It is a great place. My favorite thing there is the chicken. I LOVE the chicken. I always ask my mom if we can go to get food there after a big event. Oh did I mention you can customize your meal!

Dedicated gluten-free. The food is yummy and it’s really nice to have options! I felt safe and did not get sick.

Ordered off Uber eats. Got the green curry with chicken and brown rice, a tofu spring roll, and they gave me a free ube bubble tea!
The curry was good, the chicken was perfectly cooked. The tofu spring rolls were delicious, and the ube bubble tea was amazing!! Haven’t had bubble tea since my diagnosis, it was so tasty! Will definitely be back if we’re in the area.
Always happy to see dedicated gf places as a sensitive celiac :)

Very tasty! I got the spicy chicken plate and liked it very much
Dedicated GF
Felt great that everything is gluten free. But it’s a bit tasteless. My daughter (the one with CD) loved it.
Dedicated GF
Asian Box is the best and super good!! Thanks for being all gluten free :’)
Dedicated GF
Have eaten here 10+ times and never got any bit of any kind of sick. Delicious and fresh menu as well. Get the mango rice pudding (also dairy free) in addition to your dish and you won't regret it :)

Liked it before celiac, cashier assured me gluten is not allowed anywhere near the kitchen.
Dedicated GF
The food was quick and tasty. It was nice not to have to worry about any cross contamination as the whole menu was gluten free. They also had gluten free chocolate chip cookies that were pretty good!
Dedicated GF
Great food. Always gluten free. (Never experienced any symptoms of gluten contamination.) Worry-free dining! Would highly recommend.
Dedicated GF
Love this place. Delicious, healthy, and fast! Everything in kitchen is gluten free!
100% gluten free. However if you have a normal persons palate, the food is not very good. We just went and ordered 5 different boxes, none of us could eat much. Disappointed for sure.
Love the food — and such a relief not to have to explain Celiac or worry if someone “gets it”. Entirely GF facility!
The food is delicious and sized perfectly. It is 100% gluten-free and the food is fresh. You can make your own box with 5 choices of protein (including tofu), 4 bases, simple add-ins and new unique sauces. We will certainly be back more than once.
Love Asian Box! Fresh, delicious and 100% gluten free. I ask for extra/double wok tossed veggies, which helps offset all of the rice. I ask for sauces on the side so I can eat some now, some later. Highly recommend!
This place saved my life when moving to this area. I never have to specify my Celiac Disease here, as it is 100% gluten free. Moreover, it is reasonably price for the area, and I always have leftovers for the next day! My only VERY small complaint is the amount of meat they have in their dishes. It's so good, and I wish there was more!
Fabulous food, great service, didn't get sick. Will definitely be back
As a newly diagnosed celiac, this place has been a life-saver for me. I've eaten here almost once a week for the last several months and have never gotten sick - in fact, after any gluten-related events that have occurred (like accidental CC from non-GF roommates), I come here to get "safe" food while trying to figure out what went wrong in my kitchen. Definitely recommend!
Love this place! Are here a few times while traveling, it became my “safe place” to eat. The place is 100% gluten free! Tons of many options and everything was delicious! Definitely Celiac friendly
Love love love Asian box, everything is gluten free (both according to them and my Nima), and I’ve never been sick even though I am REALLY sensitive. Food is delicious with lots of options. I feel entirely safe eating at any of their locations.
SO good! Stress-free eating since entire facility is GF. Choices are plentiful and staff is wonderfully helpful and friendly.
Love this place. !00% GF. No gluten worries and the food is delicious. My favorite spot for a quick bite.
!st time ordering here. Have eaten at their location in Mtn. View many times. Not sure of authenticity, but the food is very good. Portion size is good. Not fancy but not cafeteria food, either. Some differences in offerings to additions to box meal here in Palo Alto. Spicer Peanut Sauce, and good. Not Thai Peanut Sauce recipe, but still good. Love that I can order freely and eat worry-free. Worth the price. Love the caramel egg. Steak, chicken and Tofu all tasty and good protein choices. Dairy free for majority of options too, which I am grateful for.
Great, flavorful food. Everything is gluten free. Staff is very friendly and food came out quickly.
Created our own box ... rice, meat (shrimp and beef) with veggies. GF DF and latex free. Very tasty and it was awesome to eat at a fast food restaurant like everyone else. We ate outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Highly recommend!
Reviews of this Chain
Very tasty! Tried a little of everything my family ordered, since it was all safe for me.
Dedicated GF
Per a review below, I checked the Maggi bottle—it is labeled GF, and the ingredients show it as corn-based, no wheat. I’ve had the bahn mi a few times at multiple locations and always enjoyed it with no issues. (The roll is crispy & great, and all the food here is really flavorful.) We also had coconut chicken curry, kids steak box, shrimp spring rolls, and cookies. All delicious! I always eat at this micro chain in the Bay Area and took some kids this time. Review written by a Celiac kid [and sibling]: “This place was amazing, except the coconut curry sauce was a little spicy. [Other kid: “That’s your opinion; we don’t have to write that.”]. The broccoli was really good. The shrimp was amazingly seasoned. So many options to choose from. Chocolate chip cookies are amazing. I have another dislike, the beers weren’t gluten-free [“You can’t even drink beer.” “I know, but, since they have gluten beers, they’re not 100% gluten free, only 99%.”] Overall, it was all very good.”
