There were many lunch items that I wanted to try: the brie, apple and prosciutto grilled cheese sandwich, the Asian chicken salad roll and the crab cake sandwich. But after a good review from my boss, I went with the grilled portabella mushroom sandwich (with pesto, provolone, roasted red peppers on ciabatta bread - $8). It came with house fries, but there's the option of sweet potato fries for a dollar more.
The fries were take-a-bite-and-then-can't-finish-the-rest hot. But for a chilly day, I welcomed the heat from it, and they were seasoned just right. The sandwich was great, too. I thought the ciabatta bread would make the sandwich too heavy, but it wasn't. From the pesto, cheese and mushroom, it got kind of messy for me and I couldn't finish the final two bites.
We both thought the chicken would be warm because General Tso's chicken —warm, right? The chicken is cold, but that didn't seem to take away from the taste. The pieces are definitely the biggest pieces of "sushi" I have ever seen, but for $9 and without anything on the side with it, it needed to be filling and it was.
I'm not sure how soon I'll be coming back here for dinner, not because I don't want to, but you know, money is tight, and one dinner trip there the same as groceries for a week, and then some

what interesting/weird food combos. is the place supposed to be asian?
Basically what I wanted to say is GOOD CHOICE. I would have gone with the portabella sandwich as well. But with sweet potato fries :) Next time try the crabcake sandiwch!
Allisence: It's not an Asian-themed restaurant but they do have a lot of "Asian-inspired" recipes, is how I would put it. They have "sushi" but it's mostly their own creation of something! Maybe they had an identity crisis.
Emily: I don't know why I didn't go with the sweet potato fries! Next time I'll get the crabake/sweet potato!
