In Short – Described as a "Chinese canteen," the most unusual feature of this Tribeca sandwich spot is its seating, an elaborate contraption of blond wood that spans the entire room, dipping down from above to form individual tables. Orders are paid for at the counter and then brought to diners. Sandwiches are made from mantou, a steamed sesame-encrusted bread, and loaded with fillings like spicy pork, short ribs and kimchi. Cold sesame noodles, salads and daily specials like a savory egg custard round out the menu.
