| - If only a sandwich shop like this existed uptown, I would have lunch here everyday.
This restaurant is essentially a small room in the Asian Corner Mall (the one further from Tryon, , not visible from the parking lot. There are maybe three or four tables there - owner and his wife were very nice. I had the #6 (grilled pork sandwich) on a baguette - was loaded with crunchy veggies and peppers too (my mouth is still searing). That and a green tea bubble tea only cost about $7 which is incredible (cash only!). Of course, there are chicken as well as vegetarian sandwiches available. This was early this Saturday afternoon so not a ton of business at that time. Also for sale there was beef jerky and rice cookies which I will have to pick up next time.
The parking lot is indeed horrendous. As for the shopping center itself, it's certainly dilapidated and aged, but it's not a spot to fear for your safety in, so don't let that deter you. Also noted that this restaurant is one of the few of its kind (i.e. counter-type grab-and-go) to not have tip jars out. Seeing as how the food was affordable and the quality excellent, I would have gladly left some dough in this instance. Anyway, the food, as well as the experience of the area itself, is worth a short expedition. Try it!
