A counter-service phenomenon that started at farmers markets and now draws lines for its steamed-bun sandwiches. Get the Neighborhood Bird (Taiwanese-style fried chicken) and the Tempura Broccoli, both of which have a cult following, plus a rice bowl if you're hungry. It's fast-casual and cramped with limited seating, so plan to grab and go.
