    This is the original Zenwich, small deli with unique, healthy sandwiches. Their most popular (and my personal favorite) is the Spicy Garlic Shrimp sandwich, with chips and bottle pop.

    Try the Famous Remus sandwich (Thai-marinated grilled pork tenderloin, pickled daikon & carrot relish, and sweet & sour mayo all on a freshly toasted ciabatta roll). Get over there, now! Read more

    The pork Katsu, crab cake sand which and the chicken satay were absolutely the best sandwiches here. Definitely recommend this to anyone in the area!!

    Crab cake is amazing. Perfect flavor combo with great bread soaking up the sauce. Paired with the sweet,spicy and crunchy chips and a cool cucumber salad, its a perfect lunch.

    Pretty much all the signature sammiches are awesome...not sure about the vegan stuff. Love the chips with a 'kick' that come along as well.

    Mu ping, crab cake, bulgogi, spicy garlic shrimp (fridays only), pork katsu - any of these are great (I have yet to try the rest on the menu, but plan on it!)

    Crabby Yo!a, Famous Remus, Bryanism, ROI, Tony Q - all good. I just haven't gotten to the rest... But the Crabby Yo1a is probably my favorite!

    Besides maybe a little updating on the cosmetics of the restaurant, the food is still spectacular!

    It may take a few minutes longer to get your order here (everything is made to order), but it's well worth the (short) wait.

    Hole-in-the-wall. Thai/Vietnamese sandwiches. Not a single bad choice in the house. If stumped, go for the kalbi.
