My wife had one of the vegetarian sandwiches. All three were excellent. I particularly like the ciabatta style bread they use. It's not a place to sit an relax over a lengthy meal as they only have a few tables in a rather cramped area. But the people at the counter were friendly and the food was tasty. If I'm back in that area I'm sure that's where I'll eat.

This just makes me sad about their Loop location closing. Was probably my most-frequented lunch spot when I didn't bring something from home.

darn, serves me right for not checking LTH before going recently to Zenwich, I'm a sucker for fried oysters, so will have to make note for next time.

Hadn't been to Zenwich in awhile and ordered the Mu Ping sandwich, a very tasty sandwich with good abundant fillings. I wish there were more pickled veggies on the sandwich, fortunately I had some sour turnip at home and added that which elevated the sandwich to "I wish a had another it was so good" status.

tried the Korean Cheesesteak. Not a good sandwich, one large chunk of meat, not a lot of flavor or cheesyness.
