To celebrate my imminent return to the United States, I ordered a roast beef sandwich from NYC Deli located in downtown Shanghai. The picture shown here is not my sandwich, but representative of what I got. Prices are reasonable (~40RMB) and include delivery, unless you live on the further reaches of downtown like I do. Then, it costs 15 RMB extra to deliver. The meat was good and the was lettuce crisp. Bread could definitely use some work. I don't know why it's hard to make bread in China. Maybe it's the lack of experience with ovens. Nonetheless, 'll definitely be ordering from them again.

Looks pretty good! My thought on the bread... maybe their teeth are not good enough to chomp on the crustier, more substantial bread we prefer here?!
