I do love eating sandwiches from Sentinel on New Montgomery... so when Speedy told me about Au (Golden West,) a take-out window in Trinity Alley from the same man behind Sentinel, I had to try it. After all, it's only a few steps (or a jump out the window, whatever) away.
This is their crown jewel, a short rib sandwich smothered in caramelized onions on their deliciously buttery bread.The price point and taste are about the same... the sandwich has good flavor and the beef is very tender. I do question whether or not these sandwiches are hot enough... after all, it is a short elevator ride back up to the office to enjoy my sandwich but it was not as piping hot as say, Sentinel's iconic corned beef sandwich. But the short rib lunch was still tasty and you can tell that the same guy writes the menu for both places.
Au's menu is much smaller and is conveniently located (for me) and has the same flavor profile as big sister Sentinel. I hope to see more variety in Au's menu soon, otherwise I will be returning to Sentinel hearty sandwiches.
