The lap cheong mala wrap alone is enough reason for me to come back…read more Bolo bao sandwiches seriously need to catch on in NYC, since they're quite common in Hong Kong. This was my first time seeing one with roasted duck though. Just a heads up that the street felt a bit sketchy even though it's near the edge of Chinatown. We were unfortunately harassed by someone outside of the store and ended up giving him a few dollar bills... ＊Chinese Sausage Mala Wrap $10 ** The lap cheong was spread so evenly throughout that I got some in almost every bite. The mala aioli was quite spicy, but not overpowering or lingering. The crispy shallots added such a nice crunch too which I loved! ＊Duck Tsangwich $16 I was quite surprised that the roast duck skin stayed crispy! The crackly cookie topping could've been thicker since it was pretty flat. They give you chili oil on the side, but it was already super flavorful with the hoisin sauce. Only thing I wished for was more cucumber and scallion to help balance out the richness.

Get the Mala Tsangwich, it's bursting with fresh flavors that really hit the spot for me -- nice…read moreportion of chicken (which wasn't spicy), fresh cucumber/greens, this tangy sauce that was to die for, all between two semi sweet buns -- felt really unique and satisfying to me. There's a couple tables to sit at and an unassuming window inside to place your order at, which gives it a fun little touch.

Good service and kid friendly. We got two veggie sammys -the breakfast sandwich and the Bombay. The breakfast sandwich was really tasty and a solid option, but the Bombay was definitely the standout. Super flavorful, loved all the veggies and the amul cheese. The chai was great too - the iced chai was perfect on a hot day. Only thing is I wish we realized they had a paneer nanini because we definitely would've ordered that too... but now we have a reason to come back :)

Where do I begin??! First of all i must thank my Yelp buddy…read moreSuper K for recommending Sals!! Absolutely delicious subs!! Better than Katz and Carnegie!! Sandwiches are huge!! Its possible to share a sandwich with a friend. My favorite is the da bomb or pastrami. I love dipping mine in Italian dressing.... Service is great! Located in the Astoria part of NYC. You might have to wait but its worth it!! They don't take plastic!!! You need cash!! Oh yeah no place to sit ..so take it the park.. so after you eat you can take a stroll and not feel guilty!

The service is very professional. Takes a minute because they're extremely busy if you visit during the lunch hours. If you're a foodie and enjoy the view of fresh meats, cheeses, salads, breads, and sandwiches being made fresh..... then the ambiance was bliss. The fact it was in a common neighborhood made it even more enjoyable of a visit! Now to the sandwich..This sandwich itself DEFINITELY lives up to the hype! It really is the REAL DEAL!! Maybe they should change the name to "Da Bomb", because it's that's good! However, through no fault of anyone, this is the learning experience I take back for my next visit: 1) Extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Potato Salad IF extra hot peppers! 2) Bring reusable containers for your sandwich, especially if you're not going home/ hotel right away. Next visit, which will be my next visit to NYC, I intend to try the roast beef and turkey hero, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Overall, I still rate 5/5. They do a fantastic job here. Service is awesome, food is fresh, and the amount of food they offer for the price is well worth it. Definitely worth visiting again and again!!

It was to the point I don't even know if it was the right order. The truffle pasta was dry and barely had any sauce. The flavor of the truffle mushroom pasta, pesto and arabiatta were good but the portions were so small given the cost. The containers were not even filled, only partially. These are photos and the pasta after we ate just two noodles only out of each container. Also I paid for garlic bread but it is more like pita

Authentic, fresh food; smiling,…read moresupportive staff; and an unpretentious atmosphere that gives you confidence in the quality of the food before you've even take your first bite. I'd recommend to my drunk uncle and to the Pope - they might find some common ground over a number 26. There are so few places like this remaining in NYC! Venues that prioritize quality and cultural preservation rather than succumbing to the capitalist appeal of shitty, highly processed, cheap ingredients. Preemptively consider me a regular. See you again very very soon.

The only bad thing about this place is they ONLY accept CASH! Other than that, everything else is…read morepretty good with their panini sandwiches that are extremely big! Today, I got a PISILLO panini with ciabatta bread and it was so damn big! I had half of it for lunch and the other half will be saved for my dinner! This panini was just too long and big. I had to open my mouth really wide to take bites out of the big panini and it was annoying. It tasted good though! I love the balsamic dressing, arugula, tomatoes, and bufula mozz cheese the most out of the whole sandwich! The dressing made it really good and soften the ciabatta bread for easier chewing. My poor mouth and teeth! The whole panini cost $22.21 including tax in cash. There was an atm machine by the entrance in case you don't have cash. The whole place was very cozy and tight knit chairs and tables on both sides of the restaurant. The staff was very fast and I got my panini in not time. I did not have to wait that long. I was just amazed at the size of the ciabatta bread. They had many different types of bread that I can try next time like the focaccia, sfilatino, and semolina bread that looked really good behind the display glass. They got 35 different types of panini sandwiches for you to choose from. Most of them contain meat and there are some vegetarian options that are not so pricey. I will try those next time!

But we ordered one at this location and the person preparing used a squeezer bottle for the Calabrian chili paste/oil and soaked the sandwich. We could barely eat it. There was almost no burrata - no fennel shavings just arugula. We could not even taste the prosciutto. So the sandwich was horrible. Why would you use Calabrian chili and apply like ketchup ?? We gave them feedback and asked for more burrata and they said they would have to charge extra. Even tho we showed them how little there was in the sandwich . We will not be back to this or any other shop in this chain. Bad food. Bad service. Bad combination.

The seeded hero they serve it on was so chewy and the steak was cooked to perfection and it had such a nice cooper sharp cheese on it that bursted with flavor in every single bite! The fries were incredible too. I'm gonna be dreaming about this meal for a long time.... The 90s vibe of this place made the whole experience even better. The classic 90s soda machine, the menu, and the 90s movies they have playing was a masterful touch to the place. Cannot recommend enough snd truly cannot wait to come back.
