Matt AnonApril 28, 2017Place is absolutely terrible. I have to beg the sandwich guy, who thinks he is too good to put sauce on sandwiches. Ask for hot sauce; he points at the register. Which gives chinese take out sauce.Upvote1Downvote

Hot breakfast is great and delicious!UpvoteDownvote
Chat it up with the gentleman behind the counter. He's super friendly!UpvoteDownvote
If you come here often enough, you don't even have to say your order, they will know & start working on it.UpvoteDownvote
Protein smoothies for 5 bucks are a bargain for the area.UpvoteDownvote- Juice station is closed on weekends. Because commuters are more important than residents, apparently.UpvoteDownvote
Michelle BarrieJune 15, 2011Get the sushi with free miso soup! Gotta ask for the soup though!UpvoteDownvote
Good Tex Mex sandwich. Petite Chinese girl is friendly.UpvoteDownvote
Starting at 6.95 - create your own pasta. Skip the sushi, nothing special. Prices are on par with mid town and small wasabi portion.
