They build their sandwiches with a perfect ratio of ingredients, but it's the absolutely delightful bread (it's a bakery, after all) that harmonizes everything. On more than one occasion I've polished off one only to return sheepishly to the counter to order another. I felt like a glutton, but what can I say? Their food is groin grabbingly transcendent. (I usually wait until I'm home for that bit. I have some self-control.)

2612 W. Lawrence is the exact address... I'm presently waiting for my sandwiches!

I love this place. The people are incredibly friendly. Their pork bao (with pickled quail egg and sausage) is delicious. Buy some, microwave them for a minute or two, and enjoy. They make a great lunch. One thing, though: Bring cash. I think you need to have a purchase of over $15 to use a credit card.
