We tried a couple of sandwiches from this spot! It was interesting to see the limited open hours as the reviews rave about their sandwiches. They have a small menu of sandwiches, salads and refreshments which makes it an ideal location for a local lunch spot if you have flexibility with open hours. We tried the Singapore Tikka and the Sesame chili tuna sandwich which didn't take long to receive. The tuna sandwich with the chili oil and banh mi toppings was really good. They asked if we wanted it to be spicy but I didn't taste anything spicy about the sandwich but the flavors were well put together. I wasn't a fan of the tikka sandwich which needs maybe the tikka sauce to bring the ingredients together.

Highly recommend the paneer fig sandwich! One of my favorite restaurants in Evanston for a weekday lunch

Finally managed to go and wow! So good! Friendly duo run the place, nice and clean. Vegan options, great selection and solid prices. Great Seitan. Reminds me of my favorite sandwich shop I went to in London.

Welp it is Jan. 2024, 12:39PM surprise they are closed. Soulwich has not been open a single day this year. No sign, nothing. I wanted so badly for this place to be a success. Waiting for someone else to come in and open a delightful and dependable food spot... currently Soulwich is a waste of prime space.

The #4 with pork is insanely delicious, bread is fresh and crispy.

These sandwiches are so good!!! We stopped by here for lunch. Walking in, the man at the register warmly welcomed us and got our order taken. Our sandwiches came out warm and fresh. The bread was delicious and crunchy on the outside. I would highly recommend those place to anyone who enjoys Banh Mi sandwiches, check this spot out and support this locally owned business!

I just had the most delicious sandwich for lunch - highly recommend the Paneer Fig. It was outstanding! And the pair behind the counter were lovely as well! I’ll be back soon!

Soulwich is a hidden gem in Evanston. I love the unique menu and plentiful vegetarian options!Vegetarian options: Many sandwiches can be made with Seitan instead of meat!

Delicious food. The Burmese curry sandwich was incredible. And the price is right. Highly recommend!
I love the food at this place. The fig paneer sandwich is so delicious and not your ordinary sandwich. You can customize the protein in each sandwich and decide whether you want it spicy. The Burmese chips are worth a try, too.

I think that the #4, the Indonesian Ginger BBQ (with the pork option), is spectacular. The bread has and amazing crispy crust and the pork is always smoky and perfect. Paired with the spicy potato chips, it’s a sublime experience.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and vegetarian options available

We were very excited to hear that Soulwich opened up again. Everything tastes so fresh . I love their fig & paneer sandwich. The bread is delicious. The owners are lovely people. They make you feel so welcome. Drove all the way from Michigan early just to make it in time before they closed . Worth it .

Really wonderful spot. Not a ton of items on the menu, so they do each thing very well. Paneer fig sandwich is my favorite. Owner seems like a really nice guy. It’s clear the food is made with love.

I love this place! Not your father's Subway Sandwich shop. This place has more than a touch of SE Asia in their sandwiches. It's a delicious alternative to the ordinary sandwich shop with some exotic and spicy alternatives, like a banh mi but different. Highly highly recommended.
