Ask anyone working in Central or Sheung Wan and they will tell you that the lunch hour rush and ensuing queues are an inevitable part of daily life. Since most office workers have a 1-hour lunch break usually between 12pm and 1pm, the most important factors for an enjoyable meal are speed and taste.I got to Toast Box just before noon and there were plenty of tables to choose from.

I got to Toast Box just before noon and there were plenty of tables to choose from. Although the store isn't very big, there's space for around 40 customers to be seated comfortably. The interior is brightly-lit, the decor is modern and there's a relaxed ambience despite the hustle and bustle of Sheung Wan.
We ordered three sets: a Traditional Kaya Toast, a Malaysian-style Bak Kut Teh, and a Coconut Rice with Thai-style Chicken (Nasi Lemak). We also got four snacks: fried fish balls, fish balls with soup, celtuce with soy sauce and a slice of pandan cake. Ordering was fast and orderly, and the food only took around 10 minutes (or even less!) to be prepared.

Although the Kaya toast was crunchy and hot, the portion was much smaller than expected and disappointing. Although it came with two eggs and hot Barley, it was a disappointing set for ~$40 when the Nasi Lemak was only around $60. The Kaya toast should definitely be ordered a la carte as a snack (for around $16) rather than as a lunch set because you'll be looking for more food afterwards.
Snacks:
Fried fish balls (4 stars) - You can't go wrong with some classic fish balls
Fish balls with soup (4 stars) - Same fish balls, just with soup
Celtuce with soy sauce (2 stars) - Good crunch but lacked any flavour whatsoever
Pandan cake (2 stars) - Light and fluffy texture but didn't taste like Pandan... or anything for that matter
Overall, I would definitely come back to Toast Box because the food was delicious, not too expensive and prepared extremely quickly. However, do note that there is no table service and you must order at the counter and collect your food from the kitchen area when the food pager begins to buzz. The prices are acceptable for Sheung Wan and to be honest, most restaurants in the surrounding area (excluding fast food) are in the $55-$80 range. I would recommend this place as a speedy lunch spot for those working in offices nearby or for any friends looking for a quick bite.
