Amazing! The spicy sichuan chicken sandwich was delicious. The sesame seed bun made the sandwich, it was crunchy and soft all at the same time and the sauce was incredible! It was super spicy though, typically I can handle any spice level but this one was a bit too hot for me. You can order it mild which I would recommend if you don't love spice. They were quite quick and it was easy to walk up and order. There is not much seating so it's better if you grab the sandwich and take it elsewhere. read more

I ordered my sandwich through DoorDash: Ordered the House Banh Mi since I've been hearing raving reviews of this place. Growing up in Orange County, I grew up eating a lot of amazing Vietnamese food. So from the reviews, I was hoping that it was going to be amazing. Don't get me wrong the sandwich was good, but it wasn't extraordinary like people have been raving. I feel like the pork was lacking that lemonGrass flavor that it promised. It also did have way too much mayonnaise on it. I did appreciate the fresh veggies and the bread was nice. But overall, it really tasted like mayonnaise. It was lack in flavor that unfortunately, even with all the ingredients it didn't give any. Would it be something that I would order again, no. But I would give this place another try with a different sandwich. But overall, I would say my experience was "eh". read more

Lola would crawl out of the grave for this Sisig Bolillo! Then, back in because it's heart stopping. Slowly making my way through my East Bay bookmarks and next up: Ok's Deli! Starting as a pop-up in 2021, Ok's Deli opened their brick and mortar a year later. This is not your basic everyday sandwich shop... A fine dining alum and Oakland native, the owner (and staff) serves up chef-driven, AZN American style sandwiches with housemade bread, meats, pickles, sauces, etc. Ok's Deli is mainly a takeout spot with two tables, one inside and one outside. No restroom. M E N U Rotating menu of 8 specialty sandwiches (half AZN inspired) along with your typical sandwiches like ham & cheese and italian combo ($14-$20). No substitutes and you can only take away ingredients, e.g. "no mayo". Sides: Potato salad, chicken salad, fries, and array of American and AZN chips. Online ordering and 3rd party delivery available, F O O D * Sisig Bolillo: House Sisig-Style Pig's Head, soy sauce, black pepper, yellow onion, lime, over easy egg, thai bird chili, mayo, house bolillo ($18) - Available Saturday - Monday only - Sells out so plan accordingly As someone who grew up eating sisig at fam events but rarely have it these days, this was such a treat. I love that they use traditional cuts for the sisig. A generous portion of meltingly soft gelatinous pig's head (jowl, ears, snout, etc.) is loaded into a bubbly, crackly baguette-bolillo hybrid. The rich, seasoned pig drippings and runny egg yolk soak into the bread without turning it soggy, while the savory soy seasoning, creamy mayo, and mild kick from the chilies make every bite more delicious. We could only finish half but the leftovers held up really well and can easily be revived in the air fryer. They provide a small wedge of lime but I like a lot more acidity to cut through the richness. Next time, I'm bringing a bottle of spiced vinegar! * Sichuan Hot Chicken: House Sichuan Spiced Taiwanese-style Fried Chicken w/ iceberg lettuce, crushed cucumber, cilantro, house sesame ginger vinaigrette, scallion, house honey mustard, house sesame bun ($18) - Mild or Spicy (picked spicy) A hapa baby, Taiwanese popcorn chicken meets Nashville hot chicken, the marinated and fried chicken thighs are layered into a toasted sesame seed studded bun (low key reminds me of roujiamo bread) - crunchy, hella juicy, and flavorful with a seriously spicy kick and numbing málà spice. The crisp lettuce, cucumber, and mayo adds a refreshing contrast, helping mellow out the heat while keeping each bite balanced. Make sure to have plenty of napkins on deck! * House Ramen Spiced Fries ($8) As a kid...who used to crush a bag of ramen, sprinkle the msg laced seasoning packet all over, and ate it as snack? Now think of this nostalgic umami bomb on freshly cooked fries. Enjoy! S E R V I C E Super friendly cashier who kindly brought our order outside to us. Efficient and prompt - we were the first customers to arrive on a Saturday (to snag that one outdoor table), they already had a dozen online orders, yet our order took less than 10 minutes. P A R K I N G Street parking only. May have to park several blocks away. Overall, I really enjoyed the sandwiches at Ok's Deli and thought they did a great job paying homage to AZN classics while adding their own creative twists. With sandwich prices getting increasingly out of pocket these days, I felt the price was justified for the quality of ingredients, craftsmanship, and thoughtful execution that went into each one. read more

I first discovered this spot during the Oakland Chili Cook Off, and I absolutely loved the chili they served. It was so good that I knew I had to come back and try their sandwiches. I'm so glad I did because they did not disappoint. Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. In fact, I've already been back three times since my first visit, which says a lot! I also have to give a special shout out to the turtle chips. They are absolutely addictive and have quickly become one of my favorite things on the menu. If you're looking for a great sandwich spot in Oakland, I definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Hmm was sure I reviewed this stellar place before but here's another one. Bought sandwiches for an upcoming flight. Def wish I had eaten the whole spicy chicken and pickled chicken one while they were piping hot because they taste best that way. Both were really delicious when I took a bite of each. BLT and the egg salad are favorites and the milk bread is so good. Love the variety of Korean chips and snacks. They make it to order so it's not fast food but it didn't take that long to get 4 sandwiches. Really delicious and nice spot for sandwiches! read more

Ok so this is a busy deli that has a good hot (Sichuan) chicken sandwich that sells out everyday ! You have to get there within the first few hours it's opens or forget about it. There is usually a line and service is rather quick although the person tasked with taking orders also helps out with other customer service duties like handing off orders to delivery services and to customers whose orders are ready. Patience is definitely a virtue as this place cranks out all kinds of sandwiches and other yummy food offerings. I have only tried the chicken sandwich and can't comment on other sandwiches although I hear that they are good also. Maybe one day but for now the chicken sandwich is king read more

Call me crazy, but I was on BART watching IG reels to kill time and this place pops up on my feed showcasing the Sisig Sandwich. I looked at the location and it's a block away from MacArthur BART station. I glanced at my watch and the place was still open and I immediately get off the station (since it was my day off, which is on a Monday) and walked briskly to this joint. They are still very busy with several people in front of me. I get to the front of the line and ordered the Sisig Sandwich. The lady at the counter pauses, and said: "Hold on, let me see if we still have any." I held my breath and finally had a sigh of relief when she mentioned that I was ordering the last Sisig Sandwich of the day. She was also very pleasant and we had a nice conversation about said Sisig. It's legit because they make all the ingredients straight from the head of the pig, which is the original Sisig invented in the Philippines. I guess it was meant to be. While waiting, I noticed they also served chips, particularly Asian chips that I haven't seen before. The place is bustling with people coming and going, while some are eating their sammiches outside. When I received my order, I couldn't wait to bite into, but first I had to admire it when I finally unwrapped her. It was just as advertised and you can see the cartilage on the pig ears chopped and minced to bite sized pieces. One bite and confirmed it's the real deal. The essence and components of a real Sisig are all present. This isn't an Americanized or tamed version to mask what is often considered as "nasty" parts by the Western world. To the rest of world that eats the "nasty" parts of an animal, this is normal. It's in its raw, natural form served proudly; packed full of flavors and textures. A delicious and delightful combination of meat, fat, collagen, cartilage and seasoning. Also the best part of the pig's head is the cheek meat. Nothing is hidden, substituted or compromised. Definitely got my head and shoulders stamp of approval. read more

Came here for a quick to-go lunch after walking around the Oakland White Elephant sale a few miles away. Was told having one of these sandwiches (esp. the sisig bolilo) is life-changing. Too bad OK's Deli was out by the time we got it, so my life was not changed lol OK's Deli is a small shop with no indoor seating. They do offer online ordering, something we probably should have done to lock down the sisig bolilo sandwich! We ended up ordering: House banh mi - meaty with lots of pate. The bread was a little too rustic for me and wished it was softer. Sichuan hot chicken - I loved the sesame bun and all the flavors of the chicken (juicy, perfectly spicy), slaw (tangy) combined. Price is a bit steep but everything is stated to be local and/or made in-house. Will need to return and experience this sisig sandwich, mang!! read more

The sisig bolillo, though closer to a sourdough with the way the crust goes, is a decadent pile of bits of fatty, dripping pork and mayonnaise. There is onion to supplement, beautifully soft but uncaramelized, and a quarter-lime on the side to help cut the fat. The singular egg in the middle is a nice touch and I wish for more sweetness. However, the meat (oil) and mayo (oil) get a little too much. The lime and nominal thai chili are woefully insufficient to balance; I get meat, meat, more meat. This is fine if you're a meat lover, but I'd like some more balance myself. read more

Came here after 1pm and was hoping to try the sichuan chicken sandwich, but they'd already sold out. Instead my boyfriend and I got the Italian and the banh mi. The Italian was your standard deli meats on a sesame seeded focaccia. It was ok, but had way too much mayonnaise for my liking. If the two, I preferred the banh mi (I'm a sucker for picked veggies and fresh cilantro and jalapeño. It's a good sandwich, but I've had better all around (cheaper) banh mi in Oakland. That said, I do think I'll try to come back to try the sichuan chicken sandwich at some point. read more

Oh wow. This is a top shelf sandwich spot, with reliable deli classics and highly crafted inventions. The sandwiches are very well balanced. We ordered the Sisig Bolillo and Chicken Caesar Wrap. Both were relatively saucy -- the sisig with rendered pork fat and the wrap with Caesar dressing -- and the sauces layer in a great deal of flavor. Yet neither sandwich was overwhelmed by moisture, thanks to their breads. The lavash was a bit plain and, indeed, benefitted from the Caesar dressing, while the bolillo might have been delicious on its own as a crusty baguette. The crumb happily suspended whatever mayonnaise and fat melted into it. Pairing the deli's heaviest special with a lighter item made for a happy balance as well. The sheer volume of shaved pork calls for a fresh lettuce chaser. read more

Stopped by on a weekend post hike for sandwiches. There isn't a lot of parking, but we were lucky and got parking a few blocks away. The line to order went by pretty fast, and it took around 15 minutes for our sandwiches. They're not bad at all! I would come back and try other sandwiches as well. We ended up taking it a brewery nearby to enjoy. read more

First time here I ordered on line and that process is super easy. I definitely recommend ordering on line as I was notified my order would be ready in 35 minutes. Parking is kinda hard to come by, no private paring lot, street parking only. I ordered two sandwiches, the House Turkey Breast & Salami $18 and the Konbini Egg Salad $14, friend and I shared the sandwiches Sandwiches are HUGE (so glad I shared) The focaccia bread on the turkey/salami sandwich is sooo very good!! All ingredients are fresh, Sandwiches are very tasty Glad I stopped by here!! read more

They're not skimping on protein at all! Huge portions and love the variety of Asian sandwiches they have. Got them delivered via DoorDash and the sisig sandwich was still warm.

I love how creative the sandwiches are here. Was torn on what to get but ended up going with their signature Sichuan hot chicken sandwich (my second choice would have been the sisig bolillo), which was excellent. The chicken was super juicy, tender and flavorful and the sesame bun is excellent (more chewy and soft than a regular bun, but still holds up well). My friend got the konbini egg salad sandwich, which she found too bland although I didn't mind it. She liked her sesame choco chip cookie though. Not a lot of seating space. There were some tables outside on the sidewalk that you could eat at, but might be easier to takeaway. read more

I was so excited to try this spot after some coworkers told me about their delicious sandwiches. Italian sandwiches are my favorite so I was excited when I saw a few options on the menu that really called to me. Their menu really does cater to a lot of tastes with sandwiches like hot chicken, banh mi, Katsu, falafel, and Italian and deli options. You'll want to check the menu the day of as it seems the menu does change and some items can sell out. I ended up trying the hot coppa & fresh mozzarella sandwich ($20) that had hot coppa, fresh mozzarella, arugula, shaved red onions, pepperoncini, house red pesto, and house vin on a rustic hoagie. This sandwich was beautiful and the flavor was just what I wanted it to be- a great mix of fatty, spicy, fresh and tangy. The house red pesto was a great touch. I will say this sandwich is best enjoyed fresh- I ate half the day I got it and half the next day and the lettuce was less fluffy the next day which changed the texture. This didn't detract from my experience- it just means If encourage you to indulge and enjoy it right away or share with a friend to enjoy it at peak flavor. Parking was a little rough- it's street parking in the area and the street it's on can be pretty busy. Also, I'd encourage you to stop by early in the day so you have the most options available. read more

Came by to pick up some lunch. Sandwiches were ordered ahead of time and were ready about 7 min after arriving. Really clean and organized space. - ebi katsu ($19) - described as creamy white shrimp patty, thinly shaved cabbage, house tartar sauce, sesame seed brioche bun. I was really impressed by the shrimp patty. It was dense and thick with different textures of shrimp inside, both minced and chunks. - chicken caesar wrap ($17) - described as house roasted whole chicken, house caesar dressing, romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, tomato, house croutons, grana padano, lavash. I'm not understanding the chicken caesar wrap craze I've ben seeing online. This wrap was tasty but I did think the choice of lavash made it a bit dryer than my personal preference. Really great sandwiches. Would get the ebi again but might pass on the chicken caesar. Next on my list is the sichuan hot chicken. read more

Ok's Deli has been on my "to try " list for awhile, and I finally got around to checking them out. Upon entry, you'll see that the space is a relatively simple operation with the kitchen in plain view and a small waiting/dining area in the front. This is definitely a place where you grab a sandwich to go rather than sitting down. I ended up going with the Sichuan Hot Chicken sandwich which came with an ample amount of tasty fried chicken. While I initially asked for the hot, the cashier said it was closer to an 8/10 spice level so I decided to be cautious and go with their mild (4/10 spice). In terms of spice level, I wish there was something in the middle. Still, the sandwich was well seasoned and very flavorful. I also LOVED the sesame bun which was a unique touch for an otherwise very good sandwich. I hope to return some day and try a few more of Ok's sandwich offerings. Give this spot a try if you're looking for a great sandwich on the go. read more

I'm so confused. Why do they call it OK? It's f'ing fabulous! (They say Ok's is pronounced Oak's, but it makes you wonder if there's some kind of weird copyright issue to spelling it the way you pronounce it.) I had an amazing Shichuan Hot Chicken sandwich. I requested medium heat. The cashier accurately described it as 4 on a 10-point heat scale. It's not just spicy hot, but also spicy in terms of a lip smackingly good mix of spices that bring that bring a symphony of heat. It's like they went to the Oaktown Spice Shop and got the perfect one dozen spices for a harmonious blend. I also got the House Ramen Spiced French Fries which were excellent. Again, a very harmonious mix of spices coating, perfectly prepared fries, Absolutely amazing. I got a Mexican Coke, which went with the sandwich and fries perfectly, sweet acid breaking down the heat. There were about three people ahead of me in line. After I ordered it was pretty much exactly 15 minutes until my food was ready. There are a few chairs spread outside and I think one table inside and one table out. I think Ok's is a good value. They don't cheat you on the portion in the name of gourmet ingredients. Everything is well prepared and amazing. I can't get over it. Where have I been? I think I was deterred by the long lines when this place first opened. Now I need to figure out how to be a regular. Ok's has got a self esteem issue. It's definitely better than OK. And if it wants to be Oak's, it should be Oak's. If there's another Oak's deli somewhere, this one is better. Heck, if they're 100 Oak's delis, I'm pretty sure this one is number one. read more

We tried the sichuan hot chicken sandwich and it was good but not the best. The flavor was good, has a good kick to it. The sesame bun was okay. Didn't add much and wasn't outstanding. The lettuce also was just filler, something that's pickled would have been amazing and would cut through the spice better. For what it is it's a bit steep in terms of the price. But still a good sandwich, but won't come often because it's not that cheap. The nori fries was a pass for it. No seaweed flavor at all. But it was nice and crispy, it's tasted like it was double fried if you like that. Parking could be hard, only street parking and there's not a lot of street parking. We just got lucky and there was an empty spot right when we go there on a Sunday lunch time. read more

Friendly service and delicious sandwiches! Easy to order online and pickup~ I finally got the chance to try it out- got some banh mi to go for a roadtrip and got some for friends. Can't wait to see what other sandwiches make it to their rotation next! I also tried their konbini egg sando- I think my personal preference is to have the crusts cut off as the texture was too thick for the soft egg mixture and whites of the bread. Just an fyi if yall don't like crust~ They have a few tables and chairs outside for waiting. Parking - can be metered parking but there are a few neighborhood street and free parking around- esp across the street by the newer apartment buildings. read more

The salami and provolone were fresh and the horseradish was super strong. I ended up eating all the meats off of it very quickly. The chicken parmesan tasted amazing and was even better after you dip it into some tomato sauce. The melted cheese with the meaty chicken were very easy to eat. Overall, from my last visit, the crab sandwiches are the most delicious. read more

Finally made my way out to OK's Deli and wish I had sooner! Initially came for the Sichuan fried chicken sandwich and the weekend special Sisig sandwich, but that sold out. So we went with the Sichuan chicken sandwich spiciest option and a Ebi katsu sandwich and their sesame chocolate chip cookie. What can I say? That Sichuan sandwich was really good! The sesame bun was different in a good way and everything in it all went well with each other. The Ebi katsu sandwich was good, but didn't stand out from any other ones I've ever had. They had some other options I saw on the menu that I def wanna go back to try. The Seasame chocolate chip cookie was a good cookie. I didn't taste any sesame, but was a good cookie. $7 tho?! lol read more

For three Saturday's in a row, I've been stopping by because I want to try every sandwich on the menu... The chicken Cesar wrap is 10/10, so is the hot chicken sandwich, and that Turkey sandwich -- I ate it and left no crumbs. I like to walk up and order because I like to listen in on what other people order, but you can order online ahead of time because it does tend to get a little crowded at certain times. There's a cute outdoor seating area, and I don't know, there's just something about OK's that makes me feel like I'm right at home (with my tias cooking in the kitchen while I watch) read more

Food: 2.5 stars Ambiance/presentation: 1 star Value: 2 stars We went there out of nostalgia for the egg salad sandwiches we had in Japan. We ordered the $14 "Kombiki Egg Salad" sandwich and the "Konbiki Tonkatsu' sandwich. They were both equally bad. The 7-11 sandwiches in Japan are much better than these. I have to also say that the website is horrible. the messaging is arrogant, unwelcoming and very annoying with all the CAPITALIZATION and exclamation points "!!!". Throughout the site they throw statements in your face like: WE DO NOT CHECK VOICEMAIL!

Ordered some sandwiches for pickup from Ok's deli for lunch on a Sunday. Parking is a little tricky as there's limited street parking. The Sichuan hot chicken sandwich was the favorite! Juicy and crispy chicken with a nice peppercorn flavor, not too spicy but had a small kick. The house turkey sandwich was also good, a lighter option with sprouts and avocado. My only wish was that the bread was toasted as it was a bit cold. Sandwiches were ready within 10-15 minutes of ordering. read more

OK's Deli was just OK. While I wanted to like this place because it was highly recommended to me, I didn't find the sandwiches especially delicious. I will say that they have really interesting sandwiches like crab katsu (which we got the last one at around 1pm). If you decide to get sandwiches here, I highly recommend ordering ahead! We ended up ordering the Sichuan Chicken, Kani Katsu, and curry kabocha sandwiches. We waited about 15-20 min for the sandwiches and ate them fresh there. There is very limited seating (only 2 tables that seat 2 really). The Kani Katsu sandwich for me was quite salty, and the spicy sichuan chicken was really spicy for my husband (who usually eats spicy). The wrap for the curry kabocha seemed a bit tough and dry. Overall, the staff was nice, but the sandwiches are a bit pricey. read more

I'm no hipster, not nearly, probably closer to being a potential candidate for hip replacement instead. That may explain why I had never heard of this popular sandwich spot when it was a pop-up presumably attracting Instagram-crazed hipsters. I only became aware of it when I saw a young local vlogger raving about it. The sandwich he was eating, the Sichuan Hot Chicken, looked pretty tasty, so I convinced Jamie W to come with me to the shop. Impressed with the breadth of choices, we decided to split the $17 Italian Combo, a thick, nicely encased sandwich with Toscana salami, ham, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Dijon mustard, house mayo, dill pickle, and peperoncini on a house sesame seed focaccia (photo: https://yelp.to/SAfnUg2bsz). It was impressively assembled and quite tasty. We also shared a small $2.50 bag of Flamin' Lime Turtle Chips which reminded me of Chili Cheese Bugles from my childhood (photo: https://yelp.to/yoC6-7qokn). It took us several weeks, but we returned because I felt like we missed the Asian-inspired signature items from that side of the menu. This time we decided we would each get a sandwich. I decided on a good ol' BLT for $16. It came with quite a stash of Hobb's bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and mayo on toasted house milk bread (photo: https://yelp.to/g2EbikNO_H). It was the simple pleasure I was looking for with the bacon the right thickness and texture. I just wished the milk bread wasn't toasted as I prefer it fresh and soft like they provide in konbinis. Speaking of which, Jamie had the $16 Konbini Tuna Salad where the milk bread was thicker and untoasted. It was generously filled with line caught tuna, chopped celery and red onion, dill pickle, Dijon mustard, and mayo (photo: https://yelp.to/2RU0vnXv3v). It was fresh tasting and filling albeit a touch bland for my taste. Instead of chips, we shared the $7 Asian Potato Salad which was just the way I like it with a lot of mayo mixed with diced potatoes, crushed cucumber, egg, carrot, celery, and onion (photo: https://yelp.to/VHU14tBJx1). We had quite the picnic on Telegraph. FOOD - 4 stars...top grade sandwiches, love the milk bread, tuna salad needs more texture AMBIANCE - 4 stars...organized chaos, takeout fine with a few sidewalks tables SERVICE - 4.5 stars... well run assembly line, always polite TOTAL - 4 stars...a true destination for a finely built sandwich RELATED - Exploring Oakland?

Honestly, this deli should be called JUST Ok. We had to try it since we were in the neighborhood and this establishment received 4-1/2 stars. It's good. You can taste that the quality of the ingredients are "ono". Don't get me wrong, but I don't think the product warrants the high prices that they're charging. We ordered the konbini egg salad on milk bread. For $14, I think I could have bought a dozen eggs and a loaf of milk bread to make 8 egg salad sandwiches. It's a "konbini" egg salad, so the mix is as expected...simple mayo and salt. Mind you, the milk bread was excellent. It was fresh and had a nice chew. So, let's go onto the next sandwich that we got for $18. We ordered the House Bahn Mi. It was their version of a Vietnamese bahn mi. Hmmmm, not bad, but I was trying to justify the price. Was it worth the $18 ticket? With tax and tip our bill came to $40.57. In my honest opinion, I would say try Ok'd at least once to support a creative deli and experience for yourself if you'd return for more. P.S. - I forgot to mention that the service is 5 stars! read more

I had the house bahn mi. It was excellent 5 stars for taste. Very good meat portions. The bread had a nice crisp to it. It was at a "nice Oakland sandwich" price point and I am used to bahn mis being a little cheaper, but it was worth it for the portion and quality. My wife had the ham and cheese sandwich. Probably ~3.5 stars for that one. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the ebi katsu, which I wanted to try. And looks like they don't have the spam sandwich anymore. But the bahn mi was worth going back for. read more

This is probably my favourite sandwich shop in the entire Bay Area. The quality of the bread and wide variety of sandwiches are amazing. Whether you're vegetarian, a meat eater, or have a specific flavour profile in mind, you'll definitely find it here. I've had almost every sandwich on the menu, including the seasonal rotation and some of my favourites are the Sichuan chicken sandwich, Italian combo, and ebi katsu sandwich. While this place is definitely on the pricier side, most of the sandwiches are sizeable and can easily be shared with a side. I will say that if you want a traditional banh mi sandwich, you're better off going to Banh Mi Bale if you're in the East Bay but honestly, you're not coming here for a regular sandwich. Also, don't sleep on the in-house hot-sauce. I always pick up a bottle when they have it and it's some of the best hot sauce I've had. read more

Been meaning to make a stop here for lunch for a while now and my only regret is not coming here sooner. Luckily it wasn't very busy when we walked in around 11:30pm on a Friday afternoon and we tried their most popular items: the sichuan hot chicken sandwich and ebi katsu. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be prepared and we couldn't wait to dig in, so we stepped outside and started feasting. Note: there's only one table inside and very limited seating outside, so best to just grab and go. The sichuan hot chicken was really good and actually pretty spicy! Even though we asked for mild, it did not disappoint. Pretty simple and straightforward, I loved it. We felt that it wasn't necessarily szechwan spice but really good nonetheless. The seeded bun was so soft and perfectly sauced up - not too little and not too much. As good as that one was, our favorite had to be the ebi katsu. We took one bite and automatically knew this was what dreams are made of. The shrimp patty took us by surprise - it was generously loaded and it honestly tasted like crab at some parts, or maybe I am just delusional. It was very much an elevated, cooler and hotter version of a filet o fish. The shredded cabbage was perfect and the ingredients were notably fresh. They also gave us sides of lemon to squeeze on our sandwiches. Worth a try and a million more, I will certainly be back to order everything on the menu! read more

First time here, and we picked up two of their most popular sandwiches. Both sandwiches were pretty good. We especially enjoyed the odd selections of chips and the Japanese potato salad. I'm happy to see a thriving eatery in that neighborhood. I would repeat. BB read more

I don't think I've seen a more beautiful veggie sandwich. Freaking feels like I'm eating the rainbow, but like healthy and not skittles. The egg salad sandwich was also great but I don't think I can eat more than half! With the generous thick milk bread and heavy egg salad, it can get pretty filling pretty quick! In terms of sandwich, I won't say you have to get one or the other as I'm sure all their sandwiches are great. The only thing I say you have to get is the sesame kinako chocolate chip cookies. Other than it being HUGE, it's also soooo delicious with the sesame and kinako included. It provides a nice nuttiness that pairs well with the sweet chocolate. read more
