This business is definitely closed, like out of business. We went there, and the signage and window labels we're gone, and the inside is completely empty. Their website also shows as "suspended". It's too bad... we really liked this place when it was still open. Hopefully another iteration will open someday!

This place has been closed for a little while now (Covid) and we just went today to check if it'd reopened (it had according to Apple Maps and Google) but still no dice... Really hoping they come back, this is by far my favorite sandwich spot ): I've yet to find a place that can come close to how good their food is!!! Definitely will keep you (and anyone you tell about this place) coming back

Super bomb sandwiches here!! My go to one is the AK sub with lite Mayo, I have tried a few other ones all are good but the AK you can't go wrong!! Kind of hard to find and they close early which sucks. But other than that great local spot for lunch

Called them up and he said 10 minutes... picked it up and it was absolutely delicious. The "Midnight Snack" was a solid choice and proved to be a solid success! Definitely a recommendation fir this place!!

Ordered a cheese steak online . When I opened it up it looked like granulated Mooshie meat. Gave it benefit of the doubt....4 bites in, the meat is unrecognizable looks like refried beans and cheese. It's trying to taste like a cheese steak sandwich but it's not there. I don't think I would be back here for this. I can't even take any more bites of this sandwich... 4 bites was plenty. I'm so sad !

Blink and you might miss it!! This place is a bit hard to find if you don't know where it is. It's crammed in the back of one of those buildings with several businesses next to each other so when your looking for this place just keep that in mind. Food: I got the potstickers and the midnight snack (Cuban) Although I wasn't the biggest of the potstickers the Cuban was really tasty! The midnight snack had Grilled ham, roast pork, genoa salami, melted swiss, sriracha honey mustard, sweet spicy tangy relish, on a garlic aioli toasted brioche roll. Seating: No inside or outside seating during covid so only food to go.

This little hole in the wall shop is no joke. Man where do I began. The turkey pepo was so delicious. The bread was perfect loved the sesame seeds. I loved the twist on the ingredients, ground turkey salad, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, chopped chilis yum. The momos were also delicious. A great fusion between indian and chinese dumplings. Loved the curry dipping sauce too. Fantastico!

Searched yelp for salads but I'm glad it showed me this spot. I got to try the dumplings and the Bourdain sandwich. Dumplings with the curry dipping sauce was standard for me, but that sandwich was definitely next level. You can tell that someone there really cares about ingredients and flavor. I will definitely be coming back to try more sandwiches.

Hands down best sandwich spot I've ever been to, let alone in the riverside area. Had the Bourdain, cheese steak, and turkey pesto. 100 percent fresh and full of flavor! If I could give 10 stars I would. Not only was the food amazing but the Customer service was absolutely top notch. I'll be back here very soon! Make sure to see the location photos online! It's a little hard to spot in the plaza it is in but I assure you it's there!

Subway meets Beyoncé’s chef. Simply the best. Never disappoints. Loving it. Get the Art Mushroom.

Ohhh my Gawwwwd! The Bordaine is literally the best thing I have eaten in a LONG LONG time!! The bread is buttery and ever so lightly Toasted, The meat was extremely good, fresh and perfectly toasted so that it melted with the cheese perfectly. The spice level is perfect for me. If you don't like spicy you may want to pick a different sandwich, but I absolutely loved it. I'm literally going to make this a weekly lunch spot. The service is friendly and kind. I had to run and get gas real quick while my sandwich was being me and he literally ran it to my car door when I drove up. So amazing. Thank you!! Ps. It's in the same parking lot where are you see the signs for the college. It's in a industrial unit.
