About Us
Why
In a way, Asian street stalls that inspired Asian Box were the first sustainable restaurants. The proprietors purchased everything they needed fresh for the day and pushed their carts to market with the day’s bounty. They would sell everything they made fresh each day and start again tomorrow. We want to create that fresh, made-to-order experience in an authentic, healthy way.

Chef Grace Nguyen
From her childhood all the way through culinary school and beyond, Asian Box's Executive Chef Grace Nguyen's interest in food and cooking dictated her path in life. Asian Box brings together both her personal background and professional experiences by combining her fine dining training with her family's Vietnamese heritage.
Grace, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, was mentored by acclaimed Chef Charles Phan as sous chef of Slanted Door and executive chef of Out the Door. She offers a fresh, aromatic menu with incredibly vibrant flavors - including sauces such as her own "Miss Jones' Sriracha," "Asian Street Dust™" spice blend.
Lifestyle Asian Cuisine
At Asian Box we are on a mission to create an exciting dining experience without compromise. We envision food that not only is authentic and tastes great-it’s also made with healthier, fresher ingredients. Good for people, our community, and the planet.

Community
At Asian Box, we recognize that life brings challenges, and sometimes people need a little extra help. That’s why we partner with organizations like Project by Project to support individuals and communities in meaningful ways.
We also believe in giving back locally. Through school fundraisers and community events, we work hand in hand with our guests to make a direct impact where it matters most.
Our focus is on supporting not-for-profit organizations with integrity, ensuring that the majority of resources go directly to those in need. Every partner we support is carefully reviewed so we know our efforts truly make a difference.
Our mission is simple: to lend a hand where it’s needed most—together with you, our partners in giving. As we continue to grow, we look forward to expanding the ways we can help others in the decades ahead.
