And it just disappointed me. However, that has been the only disappointing thing I've had there.</p> <p>If you like fish sandwiches, try Kim Aunt's Kitchen street cart. It trumps Cafe Zaiya's fish sandwich any day! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/cafe-zaiya-fans-unite-gtwlt-b#post-2441 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:07:23 -0500 mkim1206 2441@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Hungry, really?

I like the smaller slices of bread and they just taste better. ^^;;;;;;; </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/cafe-zaiya-fans-unite-gtwlt-b#post-2431 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:24:07 -0500 hungry 2431@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Last time I got the fish sandwich, it was overly dry and tartar sauce laden. Too much bread to fish ratio too. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/cafe-zaiya-fans-unite-gtwlt-b#post-2407 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:13:02 -0500 mkim1206 2407@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>yeah, a fish sandwich for $3.75?? Amazing deals to be found in this small cafe. I go here for breakfast and lunch. Too bad they got rid of Beard papa cream puffs. The only 'bad' thing i had from this place is the green tea shaved ice dessert cup. lacks flavor. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/cafe-zaiya-fans-unite-gtwlt-b#post-326 Thu, 21 May 2009 09:41:27 -0500 AmuletClover 326@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>If I had to pick my favorite place ever, it would definitely have to be Cafe Zaiya. I can honestly say I've never had a bad thing there. Now if only they'd open one up in my neighborhood T_T</p> <p>Feel free to chat about your favorites or post pics! </p>
