Quick service , and you don't have to go through a psychological mind game of picking the ingredients (like Chipotle). Go sit outside!

Eggs and bacon with a Chinese twist. For breakfast on the go, choose the spicy egg sandwich served in a Chinese-style steamed bun . Read more

The 'Braised' Tofu is like a salt lick. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that it's actually fried instead.
