Pete said the other day that this is going to open in a month or so.

I checked with the owner again today (Jenny Nguyen) and she said they have pushed the opening back until May.

Jenny is a new mom and she's planning to take her baby to Vietnam for an extended visit.

I noticed they have a little row of plants on the top part of the building.

Also that drive thru could get backed up into the stree

I saw a mention for the Asian Night Market this weekend that it is going to include the grand opening of Bun Box.

I noticed a help wanted sign on their building the other day.

Chef Danny Bowien is also going to come back for the Asian Night Market and do a collab meal with Bun Box. Should be a great event again this year.

They posted today that they were giving out free shrimp spring rolls.

They posted that they will do something similar today. So watch the Stories on their Instagram and they will let people know what is free today.

They will be doing it again today, free shrimp spring rolls!

I walked by this location last night around 7pm. The line waiting to get their food was long, maybe 50 people deep.

We had it. Very limited menu for the festival obviously but the bun was outstanding.

Was able to get some last night. It was delicious and they also served Lee's Coffee with it. I can't wait for the full menu to be available.

Do they have a website?

Do they have a website?

It appears they do not yet. I am sure they are working on one, but they have been killing it on Instagram and seem to be getting tons of traffic from that.
