Amazing breakfast burritos. Loved coming here on a Saturday morning with my partner. Kind service and the place is SO CLEAN! They make a proper effort.
Good iced coffee - they use frozen coffee for ice cubes. They’ll also take personal cups. Solid breakfast too, made to order nice and hot. I really liked my breakfast sandwich and my partner liked his breakfast burrito. Would recommend this local spot!
Customized sushi at no additional cost. Excellent use of interior space makes it seem bigger than it is. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.
Great place for a sandwich during lunch! Called in order ahead of time and was ready within about 10 minutes. Quick, friendly, and delicious! Got the steak and cheese along with the K BBQ sub!
I go out of my way to come here for their bulgogi breakfast sandwich, such a great mix of sweet and savory. The staff is always so friendly and polite and store is also noticeably clean!
The pork bulgogi BBBox was enough to last me three lunches straight. This is my new favorite work lunch spot. The meat and flavor are awesome. As a New Yorker, I’m impressed.
Ginormous breakfast burrito was unwieldy but delicious. Order came up fast considering the single small grill. Decent amount on seating for such a small place.
Been here a few times and never disappointed. Ordered the Manhattan and will get it again. It's supposed to come on a roll, but I got it on rye. Corned beef and pastrami needs to be on rye.
Nice spot. Staff are all on top of things and run a tight ship. Place is always clean and stocked. I’ve had many of their sandwiches and some of their soups. I’ve always been pleased. I particularly like the spicy sandwiches. I’ve lived in one of the apartments above the shop for a few months now, and can attest to the quality being consistent over a 6 month period.
