Uni One Gourmet Deli

Some good food here! I didn’t really find anything I strongly disliked. Would I make my way to come here again? No. Will I stop by if I’m around? Of course!

I went here after reading the suggestion from serious eats. It was said to be similar to a Philly cheesesteak but spicy and not as traditional. Being from Philly and a fan of chopped cheese in Queens I wanted to give it a try.
The place doesn’t even say Uni One outside anymore just some generic deli name so I had to go by the address and phone number posted.
I ordered a spicy chopped cheese with extra cheese. It was ready pretty fast and service was fine. I mean, its a deli there’s not too much interaction going on. The sandwich was enough to share with someone else. The bread was lightly toasted and held up well against the juices of the meat. The sandwich itself though wasn’t better than a chopped cheese and definitely not a cheesesteak. There was a watery sauce that made it really messy and it didn’t really add a better flavor/​quality.
It was fine and good overall but it was something I can get at any deli.

The food was okay. I was in a rush, and had to wait almost 15 minutes for a sandwich… not because of a line, but because it took that long to grill chicken. I should have ordered a panini from the case.

Just be forewarned that all sandwiches come with about a pound of mayo!

i discovered this place while walking back from the 125^th St 1 stop. it has one of the best deals ever: whatever sandwich you want plus a can of soda for $ 3.75. the sandwiches are above average deli sandwiches. add the relative closeness to Columbia and we have a winner.
