Kinda sketchy looking corner store from the outside, but the hot plates are extremely affordable (think $6 for a protein and 2 sides!) and the banh mi sandwiches are big and filling. If you want something thats not on the hot bar, call ahead so you dont have to wait, because they make sandwiches to order. Yes, its small. Yes, it doesnt have curb appeal or even interior appeal, but the food is good and the people are so very nice.

Kind of a small, dirty convenience store with a food counter. Walked right out after seeing that the food didnt look very fresh, even though its the lunch hour. We walked down to this shop after seeing a long line at our first choice lunch spot, but this was not an alternative spot like other reviews on Yelp had suggested. This is a perfect neighborhood stop to buy cigarettes or a bottled soft drink, but not much beyond that.

Good beer selection. Food is fresh and great for the price. Employees are very friendly.

Best hot plate counter on Orleans. The ya ka mein is flavorful and filling. The bahn mi are po-boy sized, and delish. The staff are so very nice. Call 15-20 minutes ahead of you want to grab and go.

Weve been coming here for years - for the ya ka mein. Its amazing. Three bowls feeds our family of four with leftovers for under $25. I also sneak the stewed turkey necks on the slick while my husband isnt looking. Hot plates and po boys are also on point. The food is great and the people are even better.

The fried catfish is exquisitely delicate.

Best corner store with tasty, affordable bahn mis and plate lunches!

Its where the locals go
