The food was very good. This place puts tipsy cow to shame.The burger toppings were unique and flavorful. The fries were thin and crispy. The yuzu dipping sauce was also yummy.We all loved the kids katsu chicks strips. I wonder why they don't have an adult version of it. It was some of the best katsu I have ever had!

This place exceeded my expectations.My brother in law talks about this place all the time, and called it "The Box". For years I thought it was a bento box place. He suggested that we go out to lunch this weekend here. Agreeing, I looked up the menu and was a little confused. There were bao buns and French fries and Hawaiian dishes and Korean fried chicken and burgers. My first thought was that this place was doing too much and sometimes with a mix of items it doesn't always work/taste good.I was wrong. So wrong.Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Medium sized seating area but because they are so popular/busy it seemed small. You order at the front and then have a seat and they bring it out to you.I chose the chicken karaage plate. Instead of rice, I substituted fries and it came with the chop chop salad.The chop chop salad alone is a reason to come back. Omg it so good. Unique as I haven't had a salad like it before. The fries were shoestring, came out piping hot and tasty. The fries automatically come with a yuzu aioli dipping sauce and I was skeptical about it but that combination was so tasty together! The karaage chicken was very flavorful. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was delicious.I'll be back for sure to try more things!

we came at 2pm and it was pretty empty. this restaurant is spacious and clean. i got the miso burger and i was surprised that it included a slice of pork belly along with a beef patty. it was mildly sweet which was a pleasant surprise for a burger. the buns were room temperature which i did not enjoy, but other than that i liked the burger. it wasn't mind blowing, but i still enjoyed it. the hawaiian chicken was the star of the show. it was super crispy, tender, and juicy, and had a similar flavor profile to the burger. i would 100% recommend getting the hawaiian chicken.

This place makes some tasty burgers!We went to The Box right at open and ordered a couple of burgers. Everything is made fresh so it took about 15 minutes. Absolutely worth the small wait! The burger patties were perfectly cooked and very juicy. They were thick and reminded me of a really good patty you'd make at home, clearly handmade. The buns were soft, but firm enough to hold up to all of the juicy stuff in between. I had Da Hilo Boy burger. It was very savory but well balanced, I absolutely loved it. It gets pretty messy as the fried egg yolk, gravy, mushrooms, onions and bacon confit will all spill out fairly easily, but it was so good, I ate what fell off my burger with a fork. My wife had La Baca Loca burger. It was pretty good as well, not too spicy despite the peppers (perfect for her, I'd have been ok with more jalapeño). It can sometimes be easy for pickled ingredients to overpower a burger in my opinion, but that wasn't the case here, it was excellent! And our fries were tasty too, my wife really loved the aioli. I saw a couple other people order some of the plates and they looked tasty as well.Also, they had a good local selection of beers, including several beers from Triplehorn, a couple of which I can't recall seeing outside of their taproom.Only negative was maybe the price? 50 dollars for two burgers. 1 fry, 1 beer and 1 fountain drink and tip. I don't know, I suppose that's the going rate in this area nowadays. The food was more than worth it though! I will hopefully find an excuse to come back here soon.

To the local braddah who started this i wanted to say thank you for serving me up some ono kine grindz. There miso burger never change that it slaps harder than my mom after i got caught cheating on a test. The loco moco might need some small adjustments on da salt level cause some days it hits some days it misses, I'm sure the aunty in the back going by straight feeling. Bulk and knack approved but be ready for 15 mins for made to order food

It's the best place hidden in Kirkland. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was cute. They were busy with regular customers. "That tells you something " if you want good food. That's in a place with no bells or whistles. Go there, it really good food. We will go back!

The service was a 5/5 but unfortunate I was not the biggest fan of the flavor of the chicken. I was expecting more of a barbecue flavor but it was very sweet for my likings. The ambiance of the restaurant is adorable, they have cute stickers that I bought in the front. They also have cute cards as well.

We visited the box after a day of snowboarding. We learned that you could also order ahead of time since it might take 10 - 20 min for the food to be ready. But we decided to order at the restaurant. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived slightly after 7 PM on a Friday in Dec. Plenty of parking. Many of the items looked really good on the menu. I ordered the pork belly back and the loco moco. The pork belly bun was really tasty (surprisingly good). The pork belly was fatty but not too rich to the taste. It was as if the fat could melt in your mouth. And the lettuce and the sweet sauce balanced it off pretty well. I really really liked the seasoning. Great balance.I also ordered the loco moco, which was just okay. The portion was big. There were two eggs and two patties in each serving. Way too much food for me. The sauce was very authentic. However, I found the patty to be a bit dry. Wish it was juicier. Will definitely visit again and hopefully soon!

If you want the most delicious fusion burgers with unique flavors, this place is for you. With so many different options, it's hard to choose. I tried the Italian Stallion, The French Blues, and Miso Hungry. All 5/5. Also I want to point out that my family and I were extremely hungry and were violently craving a burger. We stopped in a bit before closing and we felt bad being last minute but they still took us in and served us really fast! They were so nice about it, definitely gained themselves some loyal customers. I can't attest to their other menu items since I've only had their burgers but seriously go check them out, I HEAVILY recommend.

This is my go-to place when I want something quick that's really delicious as well. They have a unique Asian fusion menu with a wide variety of high-quality, extremely tasty dishes. I order out more often than I eat in, and it's always a treat when I have time to sit down and enjoy my meal there. The service is friendly, quick and efficient, and the restaurant has a pleasant, straight-forward ambiance.
