There is always a wait, but the takeaway street food is very good! It's not exactly Asian, more like an Asian fusion experience. We tried the pork and teriyaki pork, and the combination of sweet sauce and rice was just perfect. Located in Norwich market.

This is my favorite spot at the market! The food is always hot and delicious, and the staff is extremely friendly. There's nothing better than grabbing a fresh lunch here, and it always leaves me feeling satisfied.

This was my first time at Bun Box, and it was delicious. I enjoyed the crispy, seasoned duck and the extra tasty chicken, as well as the early morning gyoza. I highly recommend it!

From the moment I walked up to the counter, the staff's vibrant energy set the tone for a warm and inviting experience. Their enthusiasm made me feel right at home. The menu itself was a feast for the eyes. Every item seemed to promise a delightful burst of flavors. After much contemplation, I settled on a katsu chicken bao bun, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The fusion of textures and tastes within that single bun was nothing short of impressive. My visit to Bao Box felt like a refreshing interlude, as I savored the katsu chicken bao as a light snack. The combination of succulent chicken, delightful seasonings, and the softness of the bun created a harmonious balance that left me satisfied yet craving more. In a market brimming with culinary options, Bao Box stands out not only for its delectable offerings but also for the infectious positivity of its staff. It's an experience that I would gladly repeat.

Been here a few times now and have tried both the tofu and the aubergine don buri. Both are delicious and make a fantastic lunch. Haven't tried the buns yet but they're next on my list!
