AI summary of what 6 dish mentions say about the food
“This sandwich has the same nuggets as before, which is a bit disappointing — I'd prefer a proper cutlet. But the fermented red cabbage gives a strong acidic kick, and the wasabi mayo is interesting. The bread is amazing, crunchy outside. The kimchi-style cabbage is really good, well-fermented. It's a bold, well-constructed sandwich, but the nuggets feel out of place.”

A tiny, brand-new vegan fast food in Milan with homemade everything — from buns to fermented veggies — that delivers surprisingly good junk food, especially the nuggets and the 538 burger, though the Godzilla sandwich could use a proper cutlet instead of nuggets.
Dishes mentioned
No Chicken Nuggets
These nuggets have a really strong lime flavour, and the breading is crunchy like cornflakes — it stays crunchy even after a few minutes. They taste just like chicken, honestly. The frying is perfect, not greasy at all. I'd come back just for these.
538 Burger
The bun is beautifully crunchy on the outside, not a brioche bun. The plant-based patty is homemade, not Beyond Meat, and has a hint of mushroom — very savoury, not cloying like supermarket ones. The cheese sauce tastes like cheese. The pickles are homemade too. Only downside is the iceberg lettuce, which I never like in hot sandwiches. Overall a really balanced, tasty burger.
Godzilla
This sandwich has the same nuggets as before, which is a bit disappointing — I'd prefer a proper cutlet. But the fermented red cabbage gives a strong acidic kick, and the wasabi mayo is interesting. The bread is amazing, crunchy outside. The kimchi-style cabbage is really good, well-fermented. It's a bold, well-constructed sandwich, but the nuggets feel out of place.
Special Kimchi
This is the most courageous sandwich I've ever eaten. Chocolate bread, eggplant and apple kimchi, vegan stracciatella, and jun's mayo. The kimchi is spicy, proper Korean-style, with crunchy eggplant. The chocolate bread is crunchy outside and soft inside, with a chocolate aroma. But the combination is a bit too much — the chocolate becomes cloying after a while. I wouldn't order it again, but I respect the creativity.
Patatine Fritte
These fries stayed crunchy even after 10 minutes closed in the bag. They're perfectly salted, with a great internal texture. Really good.
