| - This place is pretty solid, 3.5 stars. I'd only been once to their Tempe location so when I saw that they had a spot in downtown Phoenix, I had to stop by. There's lane restrictions around this area (4th St and Roosevelt) so I wasn't sure about parking and I parked a block away and walked over. However there's a garage behind the restaurant that offers free 2 hour parking. I came during a down time, after lunch and before dinner and checked out the vast menu on the wall. I chose The Handsome Owl, which has vegan chicken, wasabi mayo, teriyaki and Swiss cheese. I'm not a big fan of wasabi but I asked how strong it was and they said they don't use much so it's not overpowering. They're great about substituting after I noticed a meat sandwich that I wanted to try, so next time I'll have to do that. My sandwich was pretty good, I always set higher expectations for them and I end up being a bit dissatisfied. But it might be cuz I took my sandwich home and didn't get to eat it until later. They've got some unique creations and fun names.
Love that their menu is veg friendly and you can narrow it down to meat, vegetarian, vegan or gluten free. This place had a cool vibe to it and the cashier was super friendly, making conversation as I waited for my sandwich. They gave me coupons which was nice and I'll probably be back to try some other menu items.
