Smile Deli Grocery

My local neighborhood deli. A smaller deli Than the others nearby and ran by a very cute and friendly korean couple. This is my choice of deli to go to in the area because they are the most clean out of all of them in the area.
Some prices of items might be higher than other delis but not everything. They have a wide variety of custom sandwiches as well as the basic ones or whatever you want.
I usually just come here for a simple pickup of drinks/​snacks and they pretty much remember me.
Their hours are not the best and I don’t know the exact hours but I know they open a little later and close earlier than the deli next to it.
Missing one star for not opening late enough for me

*I have not gone back to Smile Deli since 2010
I used to live across the street from this deli. I used to go there to get sandwiches, snacks, but never their fruit or vegetables, as they were usually rotting, right there in the window.
The main reason I now utterly refuse to go in, is because of the disgusting racist comments the Asian man behind the counter made to me, about a black man who had just left the deli.
I am Asian, so I suppose the store owner felt comfortable sharing his disgusting racist views on black people. Apparently, he feels that all black people steal, and are thieves.
I have had plenty of people do that stupid crap with their eyes, and here I am, listening to an immigrant badmouth an entire group of people, based on their physical appearance.
I was so shocked, that I muttered something like «wow, that was really f**king racist…»
I put my stuff down, walked out, and never went back.
I did make sure to tell my neighbors. Maybe the owners have changed, but if not, I’d urge all people who think that EVERYONE is created equal should boycott this establishment. I’ll never go in again.

This is a nice little neighborhood deli. The Asian couple that owns it are very nice and friendly. They make great sandwiches. I usually get a sandwich here at least once a week (mostly because it’s right across the street from my apartment). The ingredients are always fresh and you can tell they make the sandwiches with great care.
