Friendly staff. Feel like family. Best sandwiches in San Francisco. Huge portions. The drinks are made with real fruits. It's worth every pennies. I have went there 3 times on my 1 week vacation.

Hole in the wall small business. Amazing eel sandwich. Hands down the best fruit tea I have ever had it even had real passion fruit inside. Every item on the menu so far is amazing. The owners are very sweet and hardworking, but their English isn't great. They accept cash and Venmo. Their full menu is only available in person but they are on DoorDash. Eel Sandwich - Good quality eel with unagi sauce, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, mayo, mustard, and red onion. I added on provolone cheese ($1.50) and avocado ($2) the total was $15. (which is very cheap since eel, especially sushi grade eel, is very expensive) BLT - Tried it with Dutch crunch bread, amazing. Lots and lots of bacon (I think around 8-10 pieces) compared to most sandwich places that put in 3-6 pieces (no picture because I forgot and ate it too fast) Creme Brûlée Milk Tea - Sweet and really nice looking, tastes like the name suggests. Red Bean Ice - Very cheap ($4 for a large size $3 for a small) just tastes like milk with condensed milk and red beans. Red Guava soda - Like an upgraded version of a sparkling red guava drink. Strawberry Yogurt - Strawberry flavored yogurt probiotic drink, can't go wrong with it. Green Milk Tea - You expect regular green tea with milk from the name but it's actually Thai green milk tea which is the more floral and fruity version of regular green tea. A very niche flavor of tea that is pretty hard to find. Brown sugar milk tea - Surprisingly unique taste, brown sugar milk tea is everywhere nowadays but this one tastes different, very good and a classic. Tropical Fruit Tea - Insanely strong tea, you can tell they use good quality tea and brew it for a long time. It's so strong it feels drying if you get 50% sweetness or lower but the sweetness and fruit balance out the strong tea very well. Real fruit with a good amount (2-3 slices of apples, 2-3 orange slices, 2 strawberries and 1-2 tablespoons of passion fruit) definitely the best menu item from this place. Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea - Tastes more like Hokkaido milk tea with brown sugar. (absolute win since Hokkaido milk tea is far superior to the classic brown sugar milk tea) Boba is warm and on the slightly more soft side. Mix the boba into your drink to cool it off if you like it more chewy. Mango Soda - An upgraded version of mango sparkling water. Can’t go wrong with it. Champagne Milk Tea - I got it iced like everything else but I think it was meant to be a hot drink since the flavors were more mellow and fragrant. Still really good but will definitely be trying this hot and updating this review. Update: The hot version was definitely the way to go. Strawberry Milk Tea - Real strawberries inside. The tea taste isn’t noticeable but the flavor is wonderful anyway. One of the best strawberry milk teas I’ve had. Honey Citron Tea - Got it iced, very nostalgic. Preserved sweet citron pieces at the bottom. Very fragrant. Thai Tea - A little above the average Thai tea but it’s not amazing. Good for those looking for a solid milk tea at a low price point. All tea sweetness can be adjusted as well ranging from 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Their default sweetness is 100%. Looking forward to trying their pudding and other sandwiches soon as well!

Very friendly and welcoming employees! The boba tea was also really good, although a little on the sweet side. However, if you always order 100% sugar anyways, then this is a great place for you! P.S. The Mango Milk Tea I ordered also has some chunks of real fruit in it, which was new! It was actually really good, so if you're looking to try out something interesting then make sure to check this place out!

Really good sandwiches! Great location as it is right by the heart of the financial district and right next to my work office building so I stop here all the time for my lunch pick-me-up. Owners are really sweet and accommodating. You can tell they're putting love into their food because they take their time to make your food whereas other sandwich stores (esp chain ones) throw your sandwich together in 5 minutes or less. It's well worth the extra wait. Just a heads up, they only take cash or Venmo, no credit/debit cards.

Stopped here as we were passing by. I had the Ruben sandwich and a passion fruit soda. Both were excellent! This is a hole in the wall spot very friendly owner and staff. Best to get your food or drinks to go as there is limited seating and during the pandemic it could get crowded quickly. Lots of different boba and fruit soda type drinks. My GF had the chicken salad sandwich which was also very good and the guava soda. If you're in the neighborhood and want a quick meal or a quick drink this is the place to go.

Holy cow, my Smoked Salmon Sandwich was huge, affordable and delish. I could only finish 1/2 and take rest to my hostel fridge. They also have zero sugar Monster energy drink and big bottles water. Might have to come here daily for snacks+hydration.

The turkey on Dutch crunch here, with added avocado is delicious. The bread was warm and crunchy, and paired well with the meat and veggies. The staff was really great as well. Definitely check this place out if your looking for a great sandwich.

The sandwiches are really good. The owners run the place and work very hard. They're just not well organized. It can take a while to get your food. Best to pre-order on grub hub or Uber eats then pick it up after. UPDATE: The owners have done some good work to get organized. They've put in a counter, stopped accepting Venmo, and started brining their turnaround time down.
