About Asian Box

Asian Box, a chain restaurant located within the Asian Art Museum, offers a unique dining experience that sets it apart from typical museum eateries. The menu features a variety of customizable bowls, allowing customers to mix and match fresh vegetables, rice, and protein options, including a delectable curry tofu option. The restaurant is praised for its attentive and helpful service, with staff going the extra mile to assist with requests such as almond milk boba. The cafe has a welcoming atmosphere with ample seating for groups to enjoy their meals.

Recent reviews highlight the delicious food, with particular praise for the hot chicken and chicken curry, both noted for their rich flavors. The boba tea, especially the Thai Iced boba, is highly recommended and made in-house, with some flavors featuring non-dairy creamers. The cafe offers canned beer and soft drinks for purchase, along with gluten-free options that cater to dietary needs like celiac disease, providing a relief for those seeking safe and tasty meals. The space is spacious, clean, and decorated with cute Asian artwork, although some mention that the room can feel empty and echoing. Service is quick, and the atmosphere remains casual, similar to a cafeteria, with loud refrigerators and vent hoods adding to the cafeteria vibe. The restaurant also supports sustainability with reusable bowls and plates, making it a popular and satisfying addition to the museum’s offerings.
