Reviews for The Box & Burgers Eatery in Kirkland, WA

These people know how to make karaage chicken! It?s juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside and just amazing! I stumbled onto... this place from the Bellevue Farmers market. They had a food truck there and the line was insane! Being curious, I just had totry it. It was around $15 for the chicken plate which comes with salad and rice. But they ran out of rice so I got fries whichis what I would?ve preferred anyway! One bonus is the portion sizes are huge! I easily this into two meals and steamed my ownrice to make it stretch. I would def come back for the chicken! Read more

OMG everything was so good! Traditional karage is really juicy and soft while the skin remains crispy. Hawaiian karage has a... sweet and sour sauce. Galbi was surprisingly good - very juicy and thick meat. Definitely have the chopped salad - also verydelicious and refreshing. Will be very happy to visit again! Read more

I had high expectations and was still pleasantly surprised. It?s a little bit on the pricier side but 100% worth every... penny. The chicken is crispy even when coated in sauce, the salad is delicious with apples, cheese, ham, onion, etc, not justlettuce and dressing. I really appreciate the use of compostable to-go ware (although I don?t know what they use forforks/knives, I got chopsticks). The choice to buy eco-friendly boxes and utensils definitely makes me want to choose thisrestaurant over others. I didn?t dine in but the restaurant seemed very clean and put together and the staff was friendly. Iwill definitely come back! Read more

Overall: I would definitely go back and try more of the menu! FOOD: Pork Belly Bao $4 (pork belly slow braised in soy and... mirin, fresh slaw, hoisin peanut sauce, served on a Chinese steamed bun): I did not enjoy this bao which is hard for me since Ilove bao! There was too much of everything else and not enough pork belly. The piece of pork belly was so thin and small thatyou barely tasted it. Combo Plate Chicken Karaage and Hawaiian Fried Chicken $15 (Karaage - boneless fried chicken with sweetand tangy house sauce; Fried Chicken - boneless fried chicken with garlic sesame soy chili sauce): Both the karaage andHawaiian fried chicken was very good. The chicken were fried pretty well but most of the crispiness disappears due to the saucecoated on the outside. The flavor was there but not the crispiness but that is partly my fault for expecting Japanese stylekaraage. Chop Chop Salad (romaine heart, ham, apples, tomato, cilantro, red onions, parmesan, and provolone cheese): No priceas this is included with any plate item. I liked but didnt like the salad (if that makes sense). There is a lot of dressing asits fully coated every item in the salad which is actually a huge plus to me BUT I'm not a fan of ham or fruit being in mysalad. Da Hilo Boy Burger $14 (Loco moco burger - charred beef patty, caramelized onion, smoked bacon confit, mushroom, andfried egg): The burger is huge and looked extremely good. I did not eat this as someone else in our party had it. Theyenjoyed the burger a lot - said the flavor and texture was on point. Kimchi Fried Rice $15.50 (kimchi, smoked bacon,caramelized onion, fried egg): I did not have this but it looked extremely delicious and the person in our group said itssomething they ordered repeatedly. Chicken Karaage Kids Meal $6 (boneless fried chicken with sweet and tangy house sauce,served with fries). RESTAURANT/INTERIOR: Clean and minimal restaurant. They didnt have the full seating due to the pandemic (I Read more

The food is FANTASTIC!! Very good quality and quantity, well worth the money! Freshly made and the taste was like a 5 star... restaurant. Will definitely be coming back soon. The chop salad is very, very good along with Karaage chicken and the Hawaiianchicken! Read more

The Chop chop salad is my favorite salad from a restaurant. Sanita not only made me a bottle of dressing she also offered to get... me ice when she found out I was traveling a long distance. Great food. Better service! Read more

The staff are super friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and has great umami flavor. The dine in area is spaced out and... very clean. Such a great place to dine at for a casual night out. They?re da best place for some of those most reminiscentHawaii flavors. Read more

This is the second time we had gone to this place, primarily to get our fix of the fried chicken here ???? This is an awesome... place to stop and grab a quick bite. It has a spacious interior for dine in and many folks stop here for take out too. Sinceit's the pandemic time now, the food is served in take out boxes with plastic cutlery, but wish they get back to serving thefood in actual plates. I still remember having the fried chicken the first time i had been here, on a wooden platter. That wasawesome. The food here is really good. You should go chrck it out! Read more
