very small and overpriced (1/3 of a real baguette) !ingredients are good quality but the sandwich had 1 small slice of ham, a paper thin layer of raclette cheese and not even melted, just soft.they just filled it with salad to make it big ...kind of a rip off.

This place is okay. I think the bread is solid, but the sandwiches seem a bit over priced. In the restaurants defense, I didn't know they had pre-made choices that you can choose from, but they were hidden in the kitchen. I ordered a classic sized sandwich with ham, cheese, and mushrooms (pretty plain), and it came out to be $92. That seems pretty pricey considering it was a fairly simple sandwich. Also, I requested toasted, but it wasn't....

Although my food arrived cold, I popped it under the grill for a few and it was a decent sandwich but didn't really pack a punch. However, it's fairly good value for money - I paid HKD 62 for the 21cm "The Chicken" and vegetable soup. The chicken, tarragon and tomato sandwich was fine but I recommend avoiding the vegetable soup - looked and tasted awful unfortunately. Maybe I got a portion from a rogue batch.

I was intending to go to KNEAD but something I wanted was sold out so I tried to satisfy my sandwich cravings here.It was good there was a tailor made option with your choice of fillings but unfortunately they changed the bread supply which isn't as good as the bread they offered before.The bread was too hard and chewy for my liking and the salad was too finely chopped up that it kept falling out.

I normally don't re-review places, but I will do so if they change their menu sufficiently. This place has drastically evolved over the past few months, and so has my opinion of its offerings.Let's take a look at the menu. The first thing to notice is that whereas before there were 2 fish sandwiches, 2 cheese sandwiches, 1 chicken sandwich, and no ham sandwiches, now we have only 1 fish sandwich (salmon and cream cheese), 1 chicken sandwich, 2 pork-derived sandwiches, and a nutella option. The second thing to notice, and this is the really big thing, is that you can build your own.The photo here isn't fantastic, so I'll describe the menu in some detail:First you get to pick a sandwich size: small ($23) or classic ($32). I got the small and I think that's a reasonable size.Then you choose a "base": butter, olive oil, mustard, mayo, or cream cheese. I was still wary about how much mayo they put on my sandwich last time, so I went with olive oil.Third you choose a "garnish": salad, tomatoes, gherkins, and capers. You can choose more than one and I asked for salad and tomatoes. I think I should have got gherkins too, because my sandwich was missing some tartness.Finally, you choose your toppings. This includes even more meat choices than are on the fixed sandwiches (!), 5 types of cheese (!), avocado, cucumber, and mushrooms. Each comes at an additional cost on top of the base price for the sandwich, and you can have as many as you like. I got chicken, gruyere, and avocado.My final sandwich was:Small ($23)Olive oil ($0)Salad ($0)Tomatoes ($0)Chicken ($14)Gruyere ($15)Avocado ($14)Total: $66One of the things that's good about offering build-your-own sandwiches is that your customers can't complain too much. I mean, I got what I asked for. My sandwich was pretty good, here's what I liked about it: good bread, sliced chicken instead of chunks, plenty of veggies, pretty much half of an avocado, thin-sliced cheese (so not too much). My main issue was missing some tartness, and I think I'd fix that with gherkins and maybe asking for a *small* amount of mayo.There's a choice to toast the sandwich. This still doesn't really melt the cheese. One other minor worry was just that for lots of the menu, I really had no idea how to build a sandwich out of it. Which cheeses go with which meats? Which should stand alone? This is admittedly just ignorance on my part, but it might help if there were more pre-made sandwich selections. Then you'd at least get an idea of how the people running the shop thought the ingredients fit together. And it doesn't hurt them to just add a few items to the front of the menu.Be that as it may, this place has earned my goodwill. Like BEP before it, it was a restaurant I was determined to not come back to, but which seriously and thoughtfully reinvented itself, compelling me to try it again, and winning me over in the end. In fact, this is now my favorite sandwich place in Sheung Wan. Perhaps all of Hong Kong if Fresh hasn't opened up again.
