The mass amonts of teriyaki and sesame chicken for about $4 was well worth it though. Have to say the fried shrimp were kind of weird because of that insanely thick breading.

Any chance we can get confirmation on that? Today, they said the 50% off might go until Monday or Tuesday, even though the flyer says it ends today. Any chance we can get confirmation on that?

I'm not sure I could do the black pudding though. Even with a hangover. Rudy, if you want to bring me some of that right now I would happily put aside the sprite and fritos I’m presently eating.

I went with a half off sandwich and give it a C-. They seem overstaffed and are going crazy and it wasn't even that busy. Doesn't bode well for them. Is there some sort of turnkey midtown deli company that dupes people into opening these places? the shrimp corn dogs have been replaced with something called a shrimp ball, a few other additions today but nothing too exciting looking.

Nobody in their right mind will come back for the same food at double the price. I spotted the fried shrimp and looked at the hard shell almost like an empanada, and decided not to get it, I rather the soft tempura. I did what you recommended and got one of each, the biggest surprise was this asparagus wrapped in squid. The whole thing was marinated in korean gochujang and grilled. The squid was nice a tender and not rubbery with a good flavor. Gochujang has to be the best hot sauce for people who actually wanna taste what they're eating.

Nothing really special. Nice staffs though. Really wouldn't pay $7.99/lb and not much selections either. I was just there before. Nothing really special. Nice staffs though.
