8 Minutes from Tamarron West

From Tamarron West, follow Tamarron Pkwy to Texas Heritage Pkwy and head north about four miles; the drive runs about eight minutes. We're inside Jordan Ranch at the Texas Heritage Pkwy roundabout, across from H-E-B: 29807 Jordan Crossing Blvd, Suite 700, with parking out front.

Order ahead on our site so pickup is a quick stop, or have DoorDash drivers bring it out to Tamarron West.

It's the farther side of Tamarron, so we make the trip worth it: wok-fired entrees packed hot, Kiddo's Combos for the small ones, and weekday lunch specials if you work from home. Catering for a team or a party travels well too, just tell us the headcount.

What Makes Snap-a-Box Different

  • Scratch-Made Food

    Every sauce, every protein, every bite, made fresh in our kitchen daily. No shortcuts, no bagged sauces.

  • Tip-Free Ordering

    No tip jar. No guilt prompt at checkout for dine-in or pickup. Our team is paid fairly, so you can just focus on the food, not the math. (Delivery tips go to your DoorDash driver.)

  • Family Owned and Operated

    We're not a chain. Snap-a-Box was built by our family from the recipes up, and we still make every call that matters, from the menu to the packaging to the people we hire.

  • Eco-Friendly Packaging

    Paper and kraft across almost everything we pack. Around here, most takeout still goes out in foam and plastic. We wanted to set a new bar, so we did.

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.

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.

Ryan and Kankan, founders of Snap-a-Box

Good to know

You Asked, We Answered

Where exactly is Snap-a-Box located?

We're in Jordan Ranch, right across the street from H-E-B on the other side of the Texas Heritage Pkwy roundabout. Our address says Katy, but we sit right where Katy, Fulshear, and Brookshire meet. Easy to reach from any of them 🚗

Is your food made from scratch?

Yes. Every entree is made from scratch in our kitchen daily, from cutting to marinating to cooking. No shortcuts.

😮👍

Do you deliver to Katy, Fulshear, and Brookshire?

Yes! We deliver across most of Katy, Fulshear, and Brookshire from our Jordan Ranch location, with DoorDash drivers carrying it. You can order right on our website, or through the DoorDash and UberEats apps.

Do you require tipping?

Not for dine-in or pickup. Snap-a-Box is fully tip-free at the counter and online: no tipping prompt, no pressure, no guilt. Our team is paid a fair wage so you can just focus on the food 🧡

👍❤️🙏

The one exception is delivery. DoorDash drivers bring those orders (even from our own website), so you'll see a tip prompt at checkout. That tip goes 100% to your driver. We think that's fair; they're doing the work.

Are you family-owned?

Yes. We're a husband-and-wife team who own and run Snap-a-Box. Even as we grow, every decision that matters (recipes, packaging, hiring) comes from our family.

❤️

What kind of Chinese food do you serve?

A balanced menu: American favorites like General Tso's Chicken, Broccoli Beef, and Sweet Sour Chicken, alongside authentic Chinese dishes. Something for every kind of craving 🥡

Do you offer catering?

Yes, and we'd love to feed your crew! Offices, family gatherings, schools, events of all sizes, all across Katy, Fulshear, and Brookshire.

We've already handled groups from 30 to 150 people, and the feedback has been awesome.

Ready when you are: Plan Your Catering

What are your most popular spicy dishes?

If you like heat, start with Kung Pao Chicken (宫保鸡) for savory, nutty, chili-forward flavor, or General Tso's Chicken (左宗鸡) for a milder kick.

Want real Sichuan fire? 🌶️ Spicy Chili Chicken (辣子鸡), Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐), and Dry Pot Beef (干锅牛) bring bold, authentic heat with numbing Sichuan peppercorn.

🔥😮

Do you do modifications?

We keep this one honest: for regular daily orders, we don't do modifications.

Our menu is small but elite by design, and during rushes we often cook several portions of the same dish at once. That keeps our labor efficient and our prices lower, and it's part of why we can stay tip-free. But it also means we can't pull one portion out to make it different. And no, no exceptions on slow days either: once the rule bends, the standard goes with it.

😂

One exception: catering orders placed two or more days out. With that lead time, we can plan ahead and honor specific modifications.

Are there vegetarian options?

Yes! Several vegetarian dishes on the menu, including vegetable-forward entrees and sides 🥦

Do you have milk tea?

Yes 🧋 We added milk tea to the menu and it's quickly become a favorite.

Is parking easy?

Yep, free parking right in front of the restaurant.
