    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    It never looked open (even when it probably was).

    Did anyone even try it? I drive by there all the time and never thought to.

    I tried it once and thought it was fine and then never went back. Just too many better options.

    I loved it, but it was impossible to tell what it was without already knowing, and also impossible to tell if it was open without pulling through the drive thru

    I drive by there every day and it almost blends in as just another building. They need to dress up the outside so that you notice it.

    I enjoyed it and would make it there maybe once or twice a month. I think it struggled with a lack of options and no parking at all. It was a reasonable effort.

    One thing that was always awkward was that this business model in that location was very "drive-thru" focused but the food always took as long to come out as at a counter service restaurant. Maybe the issue is my mentality but it was always hard to square sitting in my car that long.
