Other ThoughtsIf I was here at lunch and gotten this much for the lunch special prices, food-to-price value would be outstanding. Still pretty good at dinner, even though food is very MSG filled. Zero parking, only one table. Takeout mainly, so service is indifferent.

Other ThoughtsGood sandwich, but far too expensive for what you get. No free refills either. A step above fast food, a step below sit down. Somewhere in between, but fitting into neither world. Not a great traffic structure on 101A, you can only get there heading westbound unless you take a U-Turn
