  • Loved the food! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, not just freshly made but clean made with high-quality ingredients. The flavors were amazing, not greasy, and seasoned perfectly. I also love their packaging! I really appreciate their eco-friendly approach with the containers and silverware. The inside is spotless, which to me always reflects how the kitchen is run. 10/10 would definitely come back.

  • I stopped by Snap A Box with my wife and baby just to try something new, and honestly, we were amazed. The food came out fast, everything was fresh, and the flavor was spot on. You can tell they really care about what they’re serving. We even got to meet the owner, and she was such a pleasure to talk with. You can feel her passion and pride in what she’s building. This really feels like the future of takeout Chinese food. The quality, the speed, and the whole experience were top notch. I highly recommend everyone go check it out as soon as they can. Great job to the whole team at Snap A Box. You’re onto something special!

  • The modern take on the good old Chinese takeout is amazing, they have quite a few options and they taste really good. Their fried rice and Mongolian beef was amazing. Definetly will be back for more dishes.

  • We’ve now visited this new Chinese restaurant a few times, and it has quickly become one of our favorites in the area. The food is outstanding every single time. The egg drop soup is rich and flavorful, the beef with broccoli is perfectly cooked with tender beef and crisp veggies, and the sweet and sour chicken is light, crispy, and never greasy. Every dish we’ve tried has been fresh and full of flavor! What really sets this restaurant apart is their innovative approach to the menu. The way they’ve designed it makes ordering fun, easy, and unique it’s such a brilliant concept that you don’t see anywhere else. On top of that, they offer an impressive variety of options, so there’s truly something for everyone. The atmosphere is always welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly, quick, and attentive, and the restaurant is spotless. We’ve also had the pleasure of meeting the owner a few times, and she is absolutely wonderful so pleasant, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure guests feel welcome. She even took the time to answer our questions and explain more about their menu, which really added to the experience. We can’t recommend this place enough! It’s refreshing to see a local business bringing something new and exciting to the community, and we look forward to supporting them for years to come. If you’re looking for excellent Chinese food with top-notch service, you need to give this restaurant a try!

  • We had a great experience here. The food tasted amazing and truly tasted homemade , you can tell it’s made with care. On top of that, they even gave us some extra food to try, which was such a nice touch. Everything was excellent, and it’s clear this is a family owned place that takes pride in what they do. We’ll definitely be back!

    Federico C.

  • My son and I tried the take-out Chinese restaurant that opened in Jordan Ranch. It did not disappoint. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly. We even met the owners. Food came out fast and was so tasty. I had the Kung Pao Chicken over Legit Fried Rice and the Sweet and Sour Soup. I also tasted the egg roll and spring roll; both yummy. Oh, and the sweet and sour sauce is homemade. I loved it! We will definitely be back.

    Mandi M.

  • So far so good! It is my go to place. Food is absolutely delicious and great portions. It taste freshly made. I’m so happy they are located just a few minutes from me.

    Blanca A.

  • We’ve lived in this neighborhood for 5 years and I love that they have a Chinese food place so close to home. Their food is always fresh and very tasty. The place is also very nice. I would definitely recommend trying it out and the prices are also very reasonable!

    Nereida M.

  • Just tried this place and didn't have one bad thing to say about it. Had the chicken fried rice and rangoons, it was delicious. Definitely coming back.

    Gonzo G.

  • I've been searching for a reliable Chinese food spot for a while, and Snap-A-Box didn’t disappoint. The food was hot, flavorful, and prepared fresh, with perfectly cooked vegetables and tender pieces of meat, making it a satisfying meal.

    Estee W.

  • This place really stands out from other Chinese takeouts I’ve been to. It’s mostly for takeout, but they do have a long table for about six people and a window bar if you choose to dine in. The decor is modern and cozy. I ordered the dry pot beef — super flavorful, nice and spicy with that numbing kick that feels authentic. I especially appreciate the eco-friendly packaging. You can tell the owner has put a lot of thought into the details.

    Wei S.

  • Very impressed with the food here. Actually had a good amount of spicyness which was a welcome surprise for me. Usually Chinese takeout is something I grab when feeling too lazy to cook, but I'm now looking forward to the next time we come here.

    Larry S.

  • The red bean sesame balls were great, the dry pot beef dish hit the spot and the garlic eggplant left me full wanting more! Love to find a new spot close by a friend's house 👍👍

    Jalil M.

  • My family recently tried Snap-A-Box for the first time, and we were so impressed! We ordered the dry pot beef, fried rice, egg rolls, cheese rangoons, hot & sour soup, sweet & sour chicken, and General Tso’s chicken. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, the dry pot beef and hot & sour soup, in particular, were standouts. The food was ready very quickly, and the staff was pleasant and attentive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I also appreciated how clean and welcoming the interior felt, it’s clearly a place that values both its food and its customers. One detail that really stood out was their use of recyclable paper packaging instead of plastic or styrofoam for almost everything. It’s a small touch, but it shows they care about sustainability, which makes me even more eager to support them. Overall, Snap-A-Box is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, and we can’t wait to come back!

  • Snap-a-Box is fantastic! Delicious, fresh Chinese takeout with generous portions. The restaurant is spotless, staff are super friendly, and pickup was smooth even during their soft opening. Can’t wait to come back!

    Krishan P.

  • Mongolian born wife praised their food as tasty and authentic. Can't give higher praise than that. The eggplant was amazing and the hints of vinger used were perfect.

    Ly T.

  • Since opening Snap-A-Box has been my go-to lunch spot. I’ve only done to-go but my food has been ready every time I get there. Always hot and hella good. Staff is nice too.

  • Tried for the first time today and absolutely putting it into the rotation. Super tasty, quality food, great prices and friendly staff!

  • We ordered SAB tonight for family dinner. The food was so good. The rangoons, egg rolls, soups and the dishes we got all tasted delicious and were hot and fresh. I can definitely picture me ordering a cozy large egg drop soup next time I have a cold! They are new and were running a little behind with our order but they offered me a complimentary soda while I waited. They were very nice and apologetic and I understand it’s their soft opening, so not a problem at all. : D Excited to have another food option close by and like the simple concept that makes ordering easy! If I had one suggestion would maybe just to offer free WiFi so guests waiting on their orders so they can use internet because it’s still a pretty much dead zone for cell plans.

    Shera W.

  • The packaging is super cute and creative—it really makes the meal feel special. The owner is very nice and welcoming, and the staff are just as friendly (and honestly, very cute too!).

    Elin

  • Super fast prep time and even though they're doing a "soft opening" they have every staple dish that any other takeout place has. Honestly like the fountain drink cups as well.

    Kyle F.

  • The food is wildly delicious and tastes clean. I ordered takeout here on a whim, tried the Mongolian Beef, fried rice and Dry Pot Beef. It was a hit with the entire family. The food is made with love that you can taste.

    Valerie

  • Authentic Chinese takeout. More on the healthier side. Portion sizes are good for the amount you are paying. Definitely recommend

    Steven D.

  • This location is clutch. I’m new to the area and I had to try it when I saw it. It didn’t disappoint and the food is fresh. I will be back

A Family Restaurant, Built by a Family

Snap-a-Box was started by a husband-and-wife team who first met working in a Chinese restaurant. Years later, they built the place they always wanted to eat at themselves — scratch-made food, fair pricing with no tipping, and a menu that honors both Chinese home cooking and the American favorites that brought so many of us to love Chinese food in the first place.

Every dish on our menu is made from scratch, every day. Every employee is paid a real wage — no tip expectations, ever. And every decision is made by the family who runs this place.

We're proud to call Jordan Ranch home 🧡.
