This place blew me away. I'm not talking about a breeze, but out of my shoes, against the wall and monkeys flying around the room.
Hole in the wall is a great description for the setup, but take any negative connotations you may associate with the term and throw those out the window. Here are my top 3 reasons I love this place:
1) The food - even if you don't like tofu, try the Michelle O Bahn Mi - an incredible Vietnamese style sandwich featuring beer marinated tofu with perfect texture and mix of flavors. I tried the special, a BBQ, plate. Made onsite and smoked/cooked for 10 hours - served with rough cut stewed collards and black eyed peas (which I swear they put beer and mustard in). The Giant pretzel made with NODA beer was super soft and buttery - served with steaming hot beer cheese. Dessert was the best - a fresh cooked waffle sandwich with cannoli filling - really nice fresh ricotta and cinnamon taste.
2) The guys who make and serve the food - humble, friendly, love what they do, very talented at making things that taste awesome
3) They share space with Salud Bottle Shop - so you can pair the wicked good food with wicked good beer!!!
This is one of those places you just have to go experience for yourself. It really a high grade product made with high grade ingredients. I have my next three meals planned there already!!!
