The variety on the menu was much more diverse than I expected. I ordered the teriyaki salmon sandwich on a sourdough roll. It was delicious. The salmon was sweet/spicy and was paired with spinach and very thin cucumber spices. The folks behind the counter taking orders were really helpful. It's a very small place and so may look crowded, but they work pretty quickly.

Very busy deli. Lots of custom made sandwich options, plus a full deli case of prepared meat and salad options. We grabbed a turkey sandwich and chips for a picnic at the beach. It was a tad too small to share, but neither of us were left hungry. Would definitely go back again.
