Thanks for the tips! Until 4 pm, it’s “soft open” day at Oh’s Sandwiches (3217 California SW), where the menu above is hanging over the counter and Linh is busy behind the counter:
She says their regular days will be Mondays-Saturdays, so being open today is truly a special occasion. And they’re offering a deal:
We first reported on the new shop, which is in a live-work space at the Revel townhouse complex, back on June 28th.
Thank you for your support. We hope to see you there and exceed your expectation :)
I dunno. I sort of consider that nebulous region between, say, Charlestown & Hanford to be South Admiral or North of the Junction or Somewhere between Alaska and Admiral depending on who I’m talking to and the conversation. I once heard the whole Admiral area was just de facto North Admiral, but that always struck me as weird and kinda archaic.So–long answer short–too late, I know—-I’d consider north of Charlestown to be South Admiral, Stevens to Walker to be Admiral, and Walker to whatever-is-not-Alki to be North Admiral.But I honestly have no clue, and would be very interested in what others think the various areas are called–specifically what you all consider to be Admiral v North or South Admiral.
“Nebulous”! I resemble that remark! (South Admiral is a moniker created by real estate agents who don’t want nebulous folks like me driving down the values of places north of Admiral Way).
North Admiral = north of Admiral WaySouth Admiral = south of Admiral Way

Smitty and Heartless , your South Admiral posts makes me think of Abbott and Costello’s… lol!!!!Abbott: I say, Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know’s on third and then you…Costello: You the manager?Abbott: Yes.Costello: You know the guys’ names?Abbott: I’m telling you their names!Costello: Well who’s on first?Abbott: Yeah.Costello: Go ahead and tell me.Abbott: Who.
Can’t wait to try Oh’sFYIhttp://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/nmaps/html/NN-1500S.htmThis link ink was posted by WSB 2011, there is no such thing as South Admiral, only North Admiral.
Those are by no means official, and yes, there is a South Admiral, there’s North Admiral, there’s even East Admiral. Among a variety of other neighborhood names you won’t find on any city page.
“Prestigious North Admiral” was a real estate term I remember from the seventies. Used on properties being sold on the north side of Admiral, with views, roughly horseshoe shaped from Sunset around Hamilton, over to Palm, Walker roughly the cutoff. Everyone else lived in Admiral! Some of them folks had themselves enclosed cement ponds and tennis courts over on that side.
I guess North Admiral is … north of Admiral Way. I don’t know if south of Admiral Way is called South Admiral.AND When people ask where I live I just say “Admiral District” because I’m my mind saying North Admiral sounds pretentious.BUTNow that I think about it “Admiral District “ might be perceived as pretentious.Thoughts?
Well now we just need to worry about the boundaries for North South Admiral and South South Admiral!
We don’t “need to worry” about anything. We’ve been writing this way for a decade-plus now (also using directional descriptions such as “south Morgan Junction” and “west of The Junction”). South Admiral comes up a bit more often now because of redevelopment such as Revel and Springline. – TR
Yes, my tongue-in-cheek comment was more directed at me and the other commenters in this thread, not at the WSB.
I am no prescriptivist; you’ll have no quarrel with me.
If someone thinks you’re being pretentious for saying the proper location of where you live, then they can go cry in a corner whilst you are off enjoying your life instead of caring about such an inconsequential issue. Don’t worry about it!
I had one of their bahn mi sandwiches today. It was very good, and I’ll be back. The young man at the counter told me they used up their baguettes during their soft opening. They didn’t want to disappoint customers yesterday and closed early. Today there was street work going on directly in front of the store. Good luck to them.
Thank you so much for visiting our store . We hope to exceed your expectations and we would love to see you again soon :)
Hey, Chicago has an Upper Wacker Street, a Lower Wacker Street, and a Lower Lower Wacker Street. No joke. Maybe we do need a North South Admiral (it’s definitely more tony than South South Admiral….)
I just tried the pork and it was flavorful, great roll and generous portion for the bargain price; I’ll be back! Welcome to the neighborhood, whatever you call it…
Thank you so much for visiting our store . We hope to exceed your expectation and we would love to see you again soon :)
I have become, in recent years, severely allergic to fin fish, and products made from them. Didn’t think about it last time I had bahn mi. Oops. Do you have a vegetarian option to the fish sauce?
Sorry, comment time is over.
