Family-owned restaurant offers robot-assisted wok cooking, tip-free service, eco-friendly packaging
KATY, Texas - Californer -- KATY–FULSHEAR, Texas — Snap-a-Box, a family-owned Chinese takeout and delivery restaurant, has been serving the Katy–Fulshear communities since September 2025. As the first Chinese restaurant in Texas built around robot-assisted wok-cooking technology, Snap-a-Box combines high-tech culinary innovation with a tip-free service model and eco-friendly packaging for busy families and hungry diners.
"At Snap-a-Box, we're using robotics to make authentic, classic Chinese takeout more consistent and more accessible," said co-owner Ryan, who operates the restaurant with his wife, Kankan. "Our robot wok system allows us to cook dishes at high heat while delivering consistent flavors in every order. We want our neighbors to enjoy restaurant-quality stir-fry without the awkwardness of tipping." The robot simulates traditional wok flipping with smoky "wok hei" at temperatures up to 600 °F. It is a precision machine that measures, dispenses and stir-fries like a master chef, firing in up to 16 ingredients at just the right moment.

The restaurant's menu features a mix of authentic and classic favorites — including General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Mapo Tofu, Legit Fried Rice and customizable lunch boxes — all prepared in robot-assisted woks. Every entrée is made from scratch using fresh ingredients, rather than relying on pre-made products from vendors, reflecting the family's commitment to quality and authenticity. Snap-a-Box's emphasis on eco-friendly packaging aims to reduce waste compared with traditional takeout containers, and its tip-free approach removes pressure from customers during pickup or dine-in visits.
