Pastrami sandwich 4/5 It's a nice clean sandwich, nothing too heavy, and I love the pineapple. Pineapple was just ripe and sweet. I think that's a pretty unique complimentary side they're doing. No sandwich spot ever gave me a pineapple! haha The sandwiches are also very big so you can definitely save the other half for lunch or share it with a friend. I do wish that the bread was toasted and that there was some kind of tasty sauce to go with it. They also charge an extra .75 cents for takeout packaging. But nonetheless I enjoyed it. Ambience 4/5 Inside is cool and lively. A nice dining area to quickly grub with a friend. Staff were friendly but I didn't really have much of an interaction since I ordered online. Quick tip, order online ahead of time before heading there since the lines can get very long especially during lunch hours.

The mandarin orange salad was incredibly fresh, with crisp greens and juicy mandarin slices that added the perfect touch of sweetness.

It's the kind of salad that feels both satisfying and refreshing at the same time. Definitely a must-try if you're looking for something lighter but still full of flavor!

My southwest scramble was heated most likely in a microwave and the plastic on the lid of the container is a bit melted. How appetizing. Whoever called this soggy piece of factory manufactured slop an English muffin please tell me how you imagined humans would find this appetizing. Every bite screamed "this is worse than mcdonalds." I can't wait to look this company up and see the bright minds behind these creations. Serving hospital/prison food with fancy names and healthy packaged sides to give an impression of healthy food with the cheapest possible ingredients is brilliant. Where can I invest?

Though the exterior of…read morethe restaraunt is unassuming, and the building itself is quite small with limited seating, the interior is still very clean and neat, and the workers are very nice. I placed an online order for the C Chicken Momos and the Garlic Cheese Naan, which were both phenomenal. The naan was some of the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy, thick, and pillowy soft, and was not overly charred/thin or too crispy like other naan. Just pure doughy goodness. There was also a perfect amount of cheese filling--enough that you got the subtle kick of milky acidity, but not too overpowering. The naan itself was also not too greasy, and the garlic flavor was very aromatic. You could also taste a hint of the slight tartness from (I'm assuming) the yogurt used to make the naan. The "C" Chicken Momos came with eight large pieces, which is definitely enough to fill you up. The sauce tasted like a classic sweet-and-sour sauce with a very mild and pleasant spice. Also, because the dumplings were fried, they were crispy despite being covered in sauce, but still had a bit of the nice chew you would get from a steamed momo skin. The fillings themselves were also super flavorful: you get a herbal and fresh taste from the ginger, which balanced the tanginess of the sauce so the meal did not feel too heavy, and the subtle nuttiness and pepperiness of cumin in each bite. The dumplings also had some warm broth in them, which is perfect for a cold day. The prices are fair too. You can often find small discounts on Snackpass or delivery apps like GrubHub. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back. Totally recommend!

Last Sunday, amidst a bustling event in Berkeley hosting over 750 contestants and parents, we ordered 18 pizzas with a promised delivery time of 12 pm. Despite a preceding big order of 20 pizzas due at 11:45 am, our pizzas arrived just 10 minutes late, which was perfectly acceptable given the circumstances. The kitchen staff and cashier handled the rush with professionalism and patience, even amidst some understandably frustrated parents. The pizzas themselves were delicious, a hit with both kids and adults alike. To make up for the slight delay, the staff kindly offered us a whole complimentary pizza, a gesture that truly touched us. Despite the chaos, the staff at Blondie's pizza delivered exceptional service, leaving us eager to return next year for the event. read more

There was almost no flavor, and the texture made it seem like the ingredients had been sitting around for a while rather than being freshly prepared.
