Taste Tickler is one of those glorious institutions that could only exist in the Pacific Northwest: a Korean-run teriyaki sub shop slinging spicy bulgogi beef alongside BLTs and Italian cold cut combos. Tucked into a no-fuss NE Broadway storefront that’s been around since the ’70s, the walls are covered in faded photos and Portland ephemera. The star of the show is the Teriyaki Steak Philly—thinly sliced beef drenched in sweet-savory soy garlic sauce—though the teriyaki chicken and spicy kimchi pork subs go just as hard. Be advised that all sandwiches come dressed with mayo, provolone, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, onion, and pepperoncini by default, which means they might require two hands and a nap afterwards.
