| - I bought a Living Social deal for my wife and I and we tried La Shish out tonight for takeout. I wasn't sure what to expect, as they serve both Mediterranean and American options. Service was very friendly, and the restaurant seemed well kept and clean. My wife is more adventurous than I, so she went with Mediterranean sampler ($8.99) and I ordered the big philly cheesesteak ($8.99). Her sampler was authentic, flavorful, and made fresh. The portion was a bit meager. If I was basing my review on the sampler, it would have been 4 stars, given the other positives. But let me tell you; I am a connoisseur of cheesesteak. I have had many cheesesteaks in my life, and it is probably my second favorite food behind pizza. If you haven't already guessed, I am a large fellow. Anyway, THIS CHEESESTEAK was the greatest, most perfect blend of veggies, steak, cheese and hoagie. The juice from the steak had permeated the bun just enough to give it a French dip flair, while a few chopped jalapeƱos placed throughout gave it just a little touch of heat. I feel like many cheesesteaks want to be an "authentic Philly" so they pile on layers and layers of peppers and cheese, but all this cheesesteak wants to be is a damn good cheesesteak. And filling too -- the portion size of the cheesesteak was not meager at all. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Hence a well-earned 5 stars.
