    It took me way too long to visit Soulwich, but better late than never. Phenomenal sandwiches and the staff is so pleasant. The pork is delicious. Get the Burmese chips!

    The number 1 with pork & Burmese chips-- a very tasty combination that's one of my favorite quick meals in downtown Evanston.

    If you like big wet ones, this bubblegum-bright spot is for you. Each juicy two-fisted sandwich comes crammed with carrot, daikon, pickle, lettuce, cilantro, and chili aioli. The rest is up to you.

    The sandwiches are so flavorful and so messy. Grab a few extra napkins before you chow down.

    Get the Burmese chips. Lightly salted, heavily spiced, damn good.

    Coconut curry had a good flavor, but too much bread - which was burnt - and too much cilantro. Also gave me a wicked upset stomach. Potentially good, but needs work.
