Zenwich

Great service! Had the Tofu Ping — served with yummy chips. It’s located in a strip mall, don’t let that deter you! Healthy choices! We rode our bikes on the prairie path to get here from Glen Ellyn. Great stop!

LOVE!!! I would rarely try a restaurant in a strip mall. My boyfriend brought me here for lunch and the location had me feeling skeptical. I was wrong.
The food at Zenwich is creative and delicious. The Mu Ping sandwich is my favorite, along with a side of seaweed salad. You won’t regret any meal here.

Always skeptical when you try to merge Asian and western concepts. I’m a purists? Naw. But this one worked. Had the beef curry. Won’t become a staple but maybe u can grow into it. Nice distinct Asian flavors. And clever interpretation of both styles. ;)
Ps, A food critic’s instinct is to be a skeptic??? No, not here. You have my 5-​stars for the curry pork sandwich.

The sandwich heaven of Elmhurst
Good to the core answer they are very interested in your health. I really like their true dedication to healthy food. Superb quality.

If you haven’t been there you must try this place. My favorite is the spicy shrimp sandwich. So unique. This place really has its own cult following. Lots of people don’t know where it is but once they find it they’re hooked. Great seasonings and sauces, great calamari although different from what you are used to. I have never had anything I haven’t really enjoyed. Pretty cheap too.

Had the Chicken Satay and seaweed salad. All the flavors were on point from the veggies to the chicken. I wish it had more of the chicken though, had more vegetables than anything. The chips on the side, I wasn’t a fan of. Will I return? Maybe.

Outstanding food!!! My wife and I ordered two sandwiches (Korean Cheese Steak and Chicken Satay) and the Peanut Salad, and moaned obnoxiously with every single bite. Tried not to, but couldn’t control ourselves. It was that divine.
This place needs to go national — or at least expand to Minneapolis, where we live. :)

Want simple and delicious sandwich but tired of the same old sandwich places? This is it! I stumble upon this place with my friend. They have a small menu but it hits the spot. They have tofu options, kids menu, and salads as well. I got chicken satay without jalapenos. Yummy yummy in my tummy!
This place is a hidden jam. Highly recommended by my tummy.

Horrible, disappointing experience today! Yes the sandwiches are good but the service extremely sucked today. I’m pissed!
First off they didn’t answer for an entire 10 minutes I tried calling while driving there during my lunch. What’s the point of having a phone. Sadly the phones were being answered when I was there. I didn’t even try the online system bc last time I used it, I still waited for my food.
Second, I got there & I ordered 2 sandwiches for take out, I sat down and checked in with Unilocal and waited… 20 mins later w still no food the manager tells me your food will be right up while he’s walking out.(Lol. I sure hope so!) but then a guy walks in & orders a garlic shrimp sandwich and 5 mins later his order was done. I thought I was getting punked or somthing. I walk up to the counter and tell them I’ve been waiting for 25 mins (for 2 sandwiches!) and I notice the cashier get my food that was sitting at the back counter the entire time. Worse part the guy with cauliflower ears tell me that it just came out. I would have believed him had my sandwich been hot. But it was lukewarm if that since I had to eat in my car driving back to work to make it on time.
How does a guy order the same sandwich I did but waits 5 minutes but I had to wait 25 minutes? I WILL NOT ever step into this location again. Zero stars for doing me bogus today.

Nice concept and good sandwich that is fairly reminiscent to Bahn Mi but instead of a French baguette it’s served sorta panini style.
The Chicken Satay Zenwich was delicious and fuses all that is good about satay and puts it into a tasty sandwich… it’s topped w daikon, carrot, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño and drizzled with a light peanut sauce.
The Zen salad was a little less revolutionary and a bit disappointing. Simple spinach and arugula with a few diced pears and almonds thrown in the center. Terrible prep and presentation to be honest but going 4 star simply bc of the place’s namesake is done so well.

Delicious food — one of those «hole in the wall» places that survives because the food they make is darn good. The facility leaves a lot to be desired, but that is easy to look over because the quality is so good.
Unique flavors and tasty sides make this a destination place where ever you live in the burbs.

This is a tiny sandwich shop in a non-​descript strip mall in Elmhurst. It’s so much better than what you would expect by looking at the exterior. You know what the say, don’t judge a book by it’s cover!
I went with my friend Courtney C., who’s been here a few times and said everything was delicious. I ordered the Pork Katsu, a fried pork cutlet with coleslaw, watercress, a tangy sauce and mustard, served on a toasty bun. This sandwich was so flavorful for… a sandwich! I don’t know if the bread is homemade, but the bread is yummy and the ideal size for containing all of the sandwich ingredients. I like the Asian-​inspired spin on the food here.
Sandwiches are served with chips & pickle, but watch out — those chips are spicy! I like spicy food, but these were a bit much for me.
You can eat here, but there is a limited amount of tables. It was super busy when we were here, on a Monday, at 2−3pm! I’m not sure what this looks like during the lunch rush, probably a lot of to-​go orders. Food comes out fast, but not super fast, since they cook your food as you order it.
Lunch here was very affordable, my sandwich and a drink came out to about $ 11 and it’s far superior to all of the chain sandwich shops nearby.

Mi Tierra. Restaurant…

Has the finest Mexican food ive ever had.
The owner and chef jorge takes great pride in all the authentic Mexican style dishes .
He takes you back to mexico with pride
I highly recommend this restaurant
And the service is very good.

The outside and even inside is a bit questionable… Lol BUT THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS! So many awesome vegan and vegetarian options! I had the ping tofu sandwich I believe! and mmmmm it made me so happy. Fresh veggies… Crunchy fried tofu. And Delicious sauce. I also had the seaweed salad and it was yummy as well.
I was going to take some pictures of my food but I vacuumed that zenwhich in my tummy before any of that could happen lol. The people working were really chill too. Awesome. Super satisfied

Asian flavors with Italian bread!
Well not exactly Italian bread, but it’s probably how I would describe it to anyone that hasn’t been here yet. I tend to like places more when no one knows anything about it vs. places that have 200+ reviews simple because I’m usually disappointed as it seems more overrated.
As of this moment only tried the Crab Cake Sandwich, Pork Katsu Sandwich, and Spicy Garlic Shrimp Sandwich. Would order all three again. $ 8.50ish sandwich that now comes with chips. (use to be $ 7.50ish with no chips) I came on Saturday afternoon possible around 2 and although not standing out the door. Had to walk out as there was no place to stand without being in front/​behind someone that was already eating.
Will be coming back here VERY often.

A decent choice for gluten-​free and vegetarian options.
Suggestions:
1) Don’t charge $ 1 to convert a sandwich to a lettuce wrap or rice paper wrap.
2) Wash the produce. I saw an unwashed head of romaine being cut up for my wrap.
3) Wear gloves or wash your hands before making a sandwich.

Soo excited to finally try it!!! And OMG it was amazing!!! My ping was fantastic I had it in rice paper for a healthy choice. It was loaded with veggies and flavor. My boss had garic shrimp was also very good. I can’t wait to come back. What a great choices of different sandwiches. Love this place!!!

Literally the only decent place to get lunch in Elmhurst (sorry). Fills up QUICK at lunchtime, so plan accordingly. Your best bet is to call ahead and order, and then take your awesome sandwich and bomb chips to go (sometimes hard to find a table).
Crab cake sandwich is my go-​to. All the sides are good, but the chips are my favorite. Also, if they have the homemade toffee up front, don’t think twice, just eat it.

Small place.
Great grilled pork sandwich.
KBBQ sandwich was a bit sweet.
Menu is limited in terms of offerings.
Quick and friendly service.

Shrimp Po Boy — I have not ordered anything but this but OMG its delicious. Other coworkers have ordered some curried sandwich, which they stated was absolutely divine and I would love it but I have not yet tried it.
It’s a small footprint so get there before noon or you may not have a place to sit.
The food I have had and my friends have had is amazing and I would recommend anyone in the area stop in and check it out!
Ambiance: cozy, at times cramped
Food: BOMB-​ASS SAMMYS
Value: Totally worth it!
