Well hot dog, I guess I will jump into this because, well, I've got a lot of free time on my hands right now.
I really enjoyed the sandwiches that I got at We Suki Suki. Q is lovely and while a little all over the place (seriously, that woman vibrates with energy), she makes a mean sandwich and is so friendly and sweet -- I actually really enjoyed talking to her during the wait for my sandwich. She earned my money and then some.
I like the little invisible wall around the village and it keeps me in quite often, that is not to say that I don't enjoy a Buford Highway excursion, it's just that I don't get out there that often so I don't really know where to go or what I am doing. If Fig and/or Dr. Phil wanna take a field trip out there and willing to let me join along for the ride (ride, not drive, get anxious when I drive somewhere I am not familiar with) then I will be more than happy to go. Right now though, I am happy to have someplace local to satiate my cravings.
Q does use local organic ingredients so that is going to drive up the cost a bit. But it's not like you are paying Urban Cannibal prices. It's $4 for a filling sandwich from a very sweet and chatty lady. The appearance of the store right now? Eh, I say give the woman a minute. Not everyone can open up a restaurant with the financial backing that Elder Tree had. It's a work in progress.
So, to conclude -- I just repeated a lot of what others have already said, I want to be invited on the next Buford Highway field trip, Q is quite sweet and lovely, and if anyone is being bullied you can come to me for a hug. 
Wow, I just got on line and thought I would take a look around the BUZZ and this is what I see. I (Calavino) would like to say first, Q and her boys have been eating at our store for the past year so this is no reflection on her only what you just said. I have said before and I will say again, It takes 3 to 4 $3/4 tacos/sliders to make one of my sandwiches if that, sometimes, if you break them down, even more than that. Now, I guess I have to add to the list that if you take any bahn mi from any where and break it down meat/filling/bread ratio and set it on a scale next to mine (on average over a pound each at least, some of them are two pounds when all is said and done) you would have a sumo wrestler next to say, a samuri, still muscular, but, a lot leaner when it comes to the filling. I charge 8.99 for a sandwich with berkshire pork, smoked gouda cherry peppers and apple horseradish sauce on H&F bread and only $6.99 for a house roasted(about 1/2lb) meat sandwich with organic mixed greens, organic tomato and onion with a bag of zapps or dirty chips....none of this is cheap and I charge exactly what a restaurant is supposed to charge based on food cost percentages. A bahn mi is basically a couple of thin slices of pate (I make pate, I know how much it cost) with some slaw/veggies on very good but very big bread. That, does not cost a lot to make and therefore does not cost a lot to purchase. Now, again, nothing towards Q, just a defense of our business against this unnecessary post about our prices, I know our rent and labor costs compared to (because I know how much it is) the rent of the 400 sq ft next door. Her prices are in line for what she sells and her overhead, ours are in line with what we sell and our overhead. Show me someone that makes and sells what I make for $4 out of a space 4 times as big and 4 times higher rent, 4 times higher utilities and with actual full time labor costs and I will show you someone out of business in a month or, someone with a trust fund.
And, really, have you had sandwiches at other places similar to UC? We have, and I can tell you, we do not charge what they charge and there is a lot more between the slices here than most places like ours. We have paid $10.00 for a tuna on stale white with wilted iceberg and then paid extra for a bag of lays, we have paid $12.00 for roast beef 1/4lb at best with a slice of cheddar and a thin layer of mayo on a small roll and then an extra $4 for 4oz of under cooked under seasoned potato salad at another place. And, then there is this, how much is a burger and fries anywhere in the village? Is it really cheaper that what I make? Because, that is about as close as you are going to get if you are going to compare how much food you actually get for your dollar. I am proud of what I/we do here and I/we work my/our ass/es off keeping these doors open in this neighborhood, so.......we have done a lot for the Eav and, by the way, we have worked really hard to not step on any toes by not selling what our neighbors sell, we do not sell books because we have a book store, we do not sell kitcheny gifts or cards or candles because we have a gift store down the street, what we do have in store we take in on consignment from those stores so that they will still get the money but we still have things we are expected to sell in our type of store, we do not sell coffee except on the weekends because we have a neighborhood coffee shop............
