“My new favorite go to sandwich shop. So gooood! I was a little skeptical about the spicy chicken banh mi considering I’m Vietnamese and this being a non Viet restaurant, but they did not disappoint! The pickled veggies are fire! I’ve also tried the mushroom cheesesteak, green goddess chicken Cesar, and now their lunch box special and so far every sandwich has slapped. Also get to flip a coin from 3-6 and get 50% off your meal which I got today! Winning!” - Tran N
