I was excited to try this place. I'm a huge sandwich fan, though I lean toward the traditional in that regard. This is a little bit unusual.We were there on a Saturday.

We were there on a Saturday. There were four regular sandwiches on the menu, but they were also serving their breakfast sandwiches all day, and one of my friends got one of those.I got the Kentucky San, "krispy fried chicken, currie kewpie mayo, white cabbage, pickled ginger" - $68. I thought the fried chicken was great-- nice and tender, crispy and hot, pretty big, very juicy. The cabbage as well was a good choice.
But I was not a fan of the pickled ginger. It was too ginger-y and I wound up taking it off. I additionally thought there was altogether too much sauce. It was dripping everywhere out the sides of the sandwich. I tried to wipe as much sauce off the bread as I could. Finally, I'd ideally like more vegetables on my sandwich, tomatoes I think would be a good choice.
On the whole I didn't really like it. Fundamentally, it was good, in that the star of the show (the chicken) was good and the bread was also fabulous. But I didn't really enjoy taking bites of it, so there you go.
My wife got the ngau lam wich, "12hr slow-cooked beef brisket, chu hao mayo, spring onion, pickled daikon" - $88. She thought it was pretty good-- perhaps the meat was a little fattier than she would have liked-- but hey, it's brisket.
Finally we got the lotus chips, "fu yue mayo, spring onions" - $30. I thought they were OK. I have my issues with condiments and I wish they put the mayo on the side.At the end of the day, I think this place is OK. They have good quality stuff, and it's at very reasonable prices. But the menu is extremely short (4 sandwiches), and something about pretty much all of the options turned me off.
If you're not very picky, I'd recommend it, but I'm extremely picky especially concerning things like sandwiches where small decisions concerning ingredients greatly affect how much I enjoy them. I've never really understood sandwich or burger places where the chef has a few hyper-specific concoctions and doesn't allow the customers any choice, but whatevs.
