" I’ve been going to Ashbox since it opened, and it never fails to impress. The food is fresh, the atmosphere is charming, and the service is welcoming. Each dish feels meticulously prepared, and you can taste the dedication put into the cooking. I often order the rice bowls, and they are both hearty and authentic. The owner is a joy to interact with and always remembers my usual orders. Can't recommend it enough, especially for its healthy options! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I stumbled upon Ashbox during a stroll in Greenpoint, and it turned out to be the highlight of my day. The ochazuke I had was both comforting and delicious. It reminded me of home-cooked meals from my childhood, so authentic! The owner is so passionate and friendly - she really enhances the experience. The only thing I wish is that they had more outdoor seating for those sunny days. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ashbox is an absolute delight! I've been coming here for lunch almost every week since I discovered it, and it never disappoints. The onigiri is always fresh and lovingly made. I especially love the tuna and salmon variations, which are rich in flavor and always accompanied by a smile from the owner. The cozy atmosphere makes it feel like home, and the affordable prices make it easy to treat myself regularly. The only downside is the limited seating, but it's definitely worth the visit for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Japanese cooking in a cozy setting, Ashbox is your go-to spot! The seaweed wraps are fantastic and the poke bowls are incredibly flavorful. Each dish is made to order, so you can taste the freshness in every bite. The owner truly puts her heart into this place, and it shows in the quality of her food. I also really appreciate the rotating specials, which keep things exciting. I’ll be bringing friends here next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Ashbox for the first time, and I’m already planning my next visit! The salmon avocado rice bowl was divine, and the seaweed wrap was incredibly fresh. The ambiance is quaint and welcoming, making it a perfect stop for a quick lunch. The owner’s passion for her food shines through every bite. My only suggestion would be to provide a little more seating, but that won’t deter me from coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Ashbox based on the reviews, and I must say, it was a mixed experience. The food was undeniably fresh and some of the flavors were quite good, but I found the portions a bit too small for the price. I ordered a salmon sandwich, and while it was tasty, I felt my lunch could have had a bit more substance. Plus, the wait was longer than expected since it’s only one person managing everything. But the owner's friendliness definitely added a nice touch. I'll probably return to try a few more items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ashbox is my new lunch spot! The taste of their dishes reminds me of my stay in Japan. I had the spicy tuna poke bowl and loved how fresh it tasted. I also enjoyed their drinks, particularly the yuzu vinegar drink. The staff made me feel welcomed, and I love the community vibe. The only downside is the waiting time, as it’s a small operation. But that’s a small price to pay for the high-quality food. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
