As many of you, we're trying to support our local businesses during these difficult times. I will admit its been awhile since I visited UC Deli, but I was not disappointed! #1(SBEC) on a croissant on a Saturday morning will always have a special place in my heart. I even called ahead and was able to be in and out of there!

The breakfast is fast and good. The lunch is tasty and not greasy at all. The owner is so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping in.

I was early to work one morning and decided to get turkey and cheese croissant for me and my coworkers. Found this place and comes to find out, the owner is Cambodian also due to the Angkor Wat art on the wall. We had a good conversation. I ended up getting turkey, cheese, egg croissant sandwiches and it was sooo good. Every bite was amazing!! I definitely will be coming back!

This place has been walking distance from my house and never knew about it. Ordered shrimp fried rice for $8. It was one of the best I've ever had, for that price and the portion? You can't beat it. It can feed 2 grown men. I will definitely be going back and trying other thing on the menu. Btw, it's a small asian family business eatery, and I would rather support the local hustle than the big chain. Go try them out.

You don't come here for the ambiance or service. You just come here for the affordable tasty food. It's hard to come by a sandwich or entree dish costing less than $10 but here most entrees are less than $8 and the sandwiches are about $5. I ordered the lemongrass chicken with rice for about $6.50. It was pretty tasty! I poured a small amount of fish sauce on it and it definitely elevated the flavor. My main complaint is that my friend ordered the same thing and I got about 20 percent less chicken than her. I'm big on protein so this meant a lot to me. Also word of warning is that they only take cash! I'd come back to try their other affordable foods.

This review is just for the Chinese food as I haven't had anything else yet. Really tasty food, good portion size and SUPER great prices. We usually get the lemongrass chicken chow mein. Absolutely delicious. It isn't on the menu but you can just ask for it and they will make it. It's like $7.50 or so, which is incredibly inexpensive for the amount that you get. We have also ordered the Mongolian Beef, Teriyaki Chicken, and the Tomato Beef, usually just with steamed rice. Again, about $7.50. The serving size comes in the standard take out sized container, so compared to some of the other Chinese Take Out places, it's a steal. I believe it is cash only still, so just be aware. There is a corner market kind of next door that has an ATM if you need to get some cash.

Delicious sandwiches and very affordable! Plenty of parking. Small deli but amazing customer service. You can order on the phone and pick up. I had the sausage, egg, and bacon sandwich with cheese. It was amazing and filled me up.

This place has the best breakfast sandwiches. The owners are super nice. First time I ever went there I was short a few dollars and he just told me to pay him next time. Imagine that. He never met me before and he told me to pay him the rest next time. I went back and paid him what I owed plus a new order. Today I went in again but I hadn't been in there in over a year and he still remembered me even though I had only been there a few times. This place is great!
