Chicken , rice and vegetables with tamarind vinaigrette is fantastic. I recommend it.

Get the Surf Vietnam box. This off-menu item lets you enjoy surf and turf (shrimp and steak ) with tamarind sauce , and most of the good toppings (no jalapeño or caramel egg unless you ask).

The rice , wok vegetables and chicken with tamarind vinaigrette is delicious. You can double up on the chicken if you want extra protein.

The chicken , brown rice , wok vegetables and tamarind vinaigrette is delicious.

The tofu with peanut sauce is my favorite. Hint. You can order 1/2 noodles 1/2 rice . And I always ask for double tossed veggies

RMi Flores

My go-to place when I need food that is both healthy and absolutely delicious

Delicious. Gluten-free & dairy-free! Manager nice about additional allergies.

Such a great lunch spot ! Be careful though, M-F during lunch hours the Paly kids come to eat at Town and Country . Pick your battles.

Sherry Li

Love this place! The beef is awesome. Get salad as a base for extra veggie points!

Nancy Chen

This is the only salad place I like. Asian salad with chicken and no-oil fish sauce . Yum!

Elijah Colpitts

Interesting idea. All the food piled on top of each other. But flavor was good, and I felt health and environmentally aware

Janet H

Chipotle, Asian styled ! Vinaigrette sauce is Delish. Sriracha sauce tasted sour. Don't know what sauce to get? Ask for different flavorS on the side!!

Ray Smith

Quick, healthy and delicious food. You select what you want in your box.

Josie C.

I kept ignoring the no-oil fish sauce and instead went for the tamarind sauce . What fool! The no-oil fish sauce is great!

Renee Teefive

Chicken , brown rice and wok fried vegetables are delicious.

Douglas Gray

Hot boxing it can be too hot sometimes. Sriracha and Asian Street dust is the way to go!

Alice Fang

Not quite authentic , but everything you can put in the box is delicious.

Renee Budak

Chicken with tamarind vinaigrette

The tofu with spiced vegetables , brown rice , all toppers, and peanut sauce is very tasty.

Ask for extra veggies if you want it healthier.

They have some pretty tasty jerky you can get with your meal.

Like an Asian chipotle

Follow them on Twitter: they often post codes to get a specialty drink for $1.

Guillaume R.

Very very good place. It's pretty much the only thing I miss now that I don't work in Palo Alto anymore.

Erik Pavia

Super Flavor Combo: Sriracha + Street Dust

Mondays are ribs night

Chris Leffler

Curry tofu ossified!

The music they play is a) awful and b) too loud . The food is good, but smelly.

I went because I had heard good things. I wasn't disappointed. It was good fresh and filling.

Judy M

Been to the Mtv location couple of times and it was good. Had heard reviews of this place from a friend. He’s right. My food was just blah. Disappointed! Will never come back.

Tobias Schmidt

Not terrible food exactly but noticably a chain restaurant . It's just all a little bland.
