" Going to Ashbox is always a treat! The food is not only mouthwatering but evokes a sense of nostalgia as their menu reflects what I would find at home. I particularly enjoy the homemade apple cider and the various seasonal specials that are introduced often. The owner is a treasure, and I appreciate getting to engage with her while ordering. The only drawback is that it can get crowded, especially during lunch hours! I'm looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ashbox is my go-to for a delicious lunch! Everything I have tried has been not only tasty but also healthy. The onigiri is fantastic and comes in unique flavors that truly transport you back to Japan. I love that there’s a focus on natural ingredients and vibrant flavors. The owner has created a lovely little haven in Greenpoint, and although it can be busy, the food is definitely worth the wait. Just make sure to check their open hours as they sometimes vary. " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard a lot of buzz about Ashbox and decided to try it for my lunch break. I ordered the spicy tuna poke bowl, and while flavorful, I wished it had a bit more substance. The service was friendly, but the wait time seemed a bit longer since it was packed with customers. The atmosphere exudes charm, making it worth a visit. Given the quality of ingredients, I might visit again to try their other specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is a must-visit for Japanese food lovers! The food is not only delicious but also incredibly fresh. I tried the ochazuke which took me back to my visits to Japan. The owner is super friendly! The only downside is the long wait time during lunch hours because everything is made fresh. Don't let that deter you though; it’s worth it for the quality of the meals. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ashbox is a delightful spot to grab lunch. I recommend trying the seaweed avocado wrap; it’s refreshing and has great flavor! I also enjoyed the friendly service from the owner who was very helpful in guiding my choices. The only issue is the limited seating, which could be a challenge during busy times. I love the emphasis on healthy ingredients and the cozy, homey atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu! " (*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*)
