Northeast Sandwich Co.

"Since eating a General Tso’s Chicken Cheesesteak from this Northeast Philly shop, it’s all we can think about (along with the Phillies). While we love the Pork Roll Cheesesteak from their breakfast menu, it's the General Tso’s that we remember as fondly as our kindergarten teacher. The juicy grilled chicken is glazed with a syrupy, sweet General Tso’s Sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and topped with a pungent wasabi bleu cheese. It’s sweet, salty, and oniony all at once, and you’ll have half of it on your face as you try to scarf it down. Precisely what your kindergarten teacher told you not to do. " - candis mclean

"This shop is an easygoing place where you can place an order, dine at a picnic bench on a nice day, and admire the distant Center City skyline in between bites. At this small corner shop, you can go for classic sandwiches like cheesesteaks, smoked turkey clubs, or a BEC, or you can go wild and try the General Tso’s chicken cheesesteak. The chicken is tender, tossed in the orange-sesame sauce, and is dripping in a peppery wasabi blue cheese wiz." - candis mclean

"At Northeast Sandwich Company, you can order things like cheesesteaks, smoked turkey clubs, or even a steak and eggs breakfast sandwich. There are some interesting combos, and the best one might be their General Tso’s chicken cheesesteak. The chicken is tender, tossed in the orange-sesame sauce, and it’s dripping with a peppery wasabi blue cheese wiz that we’d be down to make the official cheese on every cheesesteak. They also have sides like pickled and brined wings that come in flavors like Thai chili, cajun, and a dry-rub Nashville option that's sweeter than it is hot. Northeast Sandwich Company is an easygoing place where you can get a few of the city’s signature sandwiches, along with some that have been creatively remixed, hang outside on their picnic benches, and see the Center City skyline in between bites." - Candis R.
