All I can say is WOW. I tried this spot for the first time after moving to Portland and I'm wildly impressed. This seemingly innocuous hole in the wall has my new favorite sandwich at an incredible price.I got their 7" Spicy Bulgogi Sandwich and Chicken Potstickers! It was all so affordable at around $14 and I was plenty full at the end. If you want a sub shop with a winning asian influence, give this a try.

I have been eating at the Taste Tickler since 1992. The is one of the hidden gem places no one likes to write about because if you know you know. If you don't you should. The tickler is probably their most popular sandwich. The bread they serve is a nice crusty but not crusty French bread. The lettuce is shredded which is nice touch on a sandwich. They serve a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich that is to die for. It is better to call in your order and give yourself a 1/2 hour for pickup during lunch rush. They have a nice selection of soda in the cooler or a Pepsi fountain drink. This business is family owned and operated. Friendly and very courteous. They also make large party subs. Nice portions for the price. A great value for quality food. All around I give Taste Tickler 5/5

Don't sleep on the teriyaki chicken plate! Or the hot pastrami sandwiches. Or the salami sandwiches. Or pretty much anything. This place is great.

Hands down the best sub shop in Portland. Friendly people and not much of a wait at 1 pm. The sandwich's are loaded and the meat isn't skimpy. Fresh. Rad and veggie toppings. Can't wait to try the teriyaki!

This little gem is off broadway near my fav sushi spot. It's a small shop. Everything is made to order. If you don't want sammiches they have bento boxes you could order. Good option for folks who can't agree on one food spot to try. We ordered 3 sammiches in our party. I got avocado, Turkey and bacon. No onions, subbed pepper jack, and add bell peppers. It was delicious. Someone else got a build your own- hot pastrami w cheese. Last person got bulgogi steak. FYI this comes with all the toppings so if you want to keep to Asian flavors, ask them to remove everything you don't want or build your own. I loved my sammich until the last few bites. lol someone put a fat bit of raw onion in my sammich and it blew my whole palate. I tried the bulgogi meat and it was yummy but too salty and sweet for my preference. The person ordering this sammich hates Mayo so they asked if it came with it and asked for no mayo just in case. But didn't realize you get American toppings on it by default. So order without or build your own. Overall loved it. Will definitely come back. lol maybe go to my fav sushi spot and then pick up a sammich to go for later. It was worth the carb cheat meal. I loved the bread my sammich was on. They have glass cases in the entry way filled with random items and a ton of pictures. It keeps you busy while you wait for your food.

I saw the Taste Tickler and was intrigued. Asian fusion sandwich place!!! I was ready. I was a little confused that the sandwiches, including the famous tickler are a little more traditional. While they do have a few Asian style sandwiches, many are similar to other delis. They do have rice and teriyaki dishes, which I'm told are delicious. The prices here are pretty fair and you get a good amount of food for the price. It can be busy during lunch and you might be waiting outside. Try to order ahead for pickup. I got the famous tickler sandwich. I can't recall the size, but they have three options. It was packed full of meat and I could not finish it in one sitting. This place is worth checking out.

Order: Colossal Combo Sandwich w/ chips and canPros: the sandwich is huge! It is slightly bigger than Jersey Mikes giant I think. The sandwich is really good and I like that they are not stingy with the meat or the toppings. Service was great. The food is decent!!!Cons: though soft, the bread is super chewy. The other small complaint that I have is that it needs some seasoning or condiments such as a mustard or vinegar. I asked for oil and vinegar but there wasnt any on the sandwich. I ended up adding more to being out the flavor at home.

Was great had huge portions. I don't know if I would have noticed it from the street since it's off to the side of a building. I will be back very soon.
