EDIT to REPLY: Lol OK. It's ≈$2 on doordash. to be extremely precise since estimations aren't comprehend-able: $1.75 + tax...
It's weird that your focus is on my take about Mexican cuisine, that I vaguely mentioned once.. (instead of IDK acknowledging the shadiness/fake reviews!). I didn't voice ANY "strong feelings" toward Mexican food. All I said was "it ALMOST tastes like mexican food or SOMETHING". In no way was I criticizing Mexican cuisine, I was stating how it tastes SIMILAR to Mexican cuisine flavors rather than the typical flavors of an Asian/Japanese resturant. Basically saying, this is not authentic Japanese food/flavor and you shouldn't give the idea to the consumer that it is.

Perhaps it was an off night and it would be more tolerable on a better day/during the day, but I don't see how it could be drastically better due to the meat quality. Maybe you have this "great" chef, but the other cooks may not have the same diligence as him and therefore not produce the same quality dishes (I doubt this chef was working when I placed my order late at night!). Nonetheless, a "great" chef can only go so far with low quality ingredients.

TL;DR - Their food is low quality and The business is super shady - 0/10.
The flavor of the Garlic Gyudon was OK, but that was pretty much it for positives. There was barely any meat for $17 entree and half of it was fatty and inedible. Clearly not the same as the picture advertised. The Signature Donburi Sauce tasted extremely weird and not as described, almost stale? Artifical? They also didn't include the additional sauce I paid $2 for. The chicken entree is horrendous because of the artificial sauce, the flavors don't match the dish and it almost tastes like mexican food or something it's just weird and atypical for Asian food. You can just taste how low quality everything is.
Also - This place only has 1 true positive review on Doordash. Look carefully at the "people" reviewing. They only reviewed this resturant and the other resturant they own (the Panang Future restaurant this actually is). They are also literally some of the business owners' names too. If they have a locked profile that's even more suspicious. Pay attention to the wording too - they're very similar. Very shady for a restaurant to have so many fake reviews! Instead of replying to my review, they just added more fake reviews lol.

This beef rice bowl is absolutely delicious! I’m in love with the perfectly balanced flavors and the fragrant aroma of the seared beef that hits your senses right from the first bite. It’s a unique and special taste that leaves an unforgettable impression. Don’t just take my word for it – try it for yourself!

I came to ATX for COTA and wanted to get some food for the whole team and stumbled upon Sushibox and got a whole bunch of rice bowls and they were amazing! 10 out of 10!

This place is outstanding in all aspects. The food is spectacular and top-notch. Service and employee attitude is second to none. When entering the store it makes me feel as if I’m part of it and it’s part of me. I’ve tried many dishes here and I’m looking forward to trying all of them. I have yet to be disappointed in any way shape or form.
I’ve been in the restaurant business in the front of the house and back of the house since 1998 and I have to say this place is highly highly recommended.
Keep up the Great work sushibox atx!!!!!

This place is amazing! I tried the Minced Garlic Gyudon with beef, the Miso soup and the Edamame. All were spectacular with vibrant fresh flavors. Would highly recommend!
