Curry in the box is a cheap Thai place for college students to take to their dorms and manned by college students.
I drove in around 7 PM and was surprised to find the parking lot that they share with Starbucks, completely full. So I parked on a side street and made my way in assuming the place to be packed.
There was only one other person seated in the restaurant!
Anyway you have to walk up to the counter to order and pay for your food first. The cost of a curry and rice is around $10. The kid behind the counter then asks for the tip amount to be added to the bill. This is even before any service has been provided and before I have my food.
There was some spilt food on the floor at the first table I approached. While I moved to the next table, the mess didn't get cleaned in the 30 minutes I was at the place.
The food itself was average. The quantity of meat is limited. All in all - go here if you want a cheap meal or support students who are working for a living. If not, Hilldale mall and some great restaurants are just around the corner.
