We have this term in Chinese “火柴盒楼房” to describe those boring cuboid buildings. Is there an English equivalent? Is it ok to say “buildings like matchboxes” or “matchbox-like buildings”?

This is my own term: "soulless buildings". I have never heard a term for these.
Personal houses that are large, boring and cheaply made are called McMansions. This combines the word mansion (a large luxurious house) with the Mc from McDonald's (the cheap hambuger restaurant that is worldwide).
A lesser known term is Garagemahal = garage + taj mahal
