  • Wasabi Mayo

We're taking tender, thinly-sliced roast beef and pairing it with flavors you don't usually find between two slices of bread. The result is a sandwich that's equal parts comforting and unexpected — and it's only around for a limited time, so don't sleep on it.

What's Stacked Into the Bonsai Beef

This sandwich starts with a soft, pillowy bun and layers of savory roast beef, piled high and ready to be the star of the show. From there, we build in contrast and crunch:

  • Sharp cheddar cheese for that classic richness

  • Crisp cucumber for a cool, refreshing bite

  • Wasabi mayo that brings just the right amount of heat and tang

  • Sesame ginger slaw for crunch, brightness, and a little zip of Asian-inspired flavor

  • Toasted sesame seeds finishing it off with a nutty, aromatic touch

The magic of the Bonsai Beef is in the balance. The wasabi mayo brings a slow, pleasant warmth that never overwhelms, while the sesame ginger slaw keeps every bite crisp and lively. Add the cool snap of cucumber and the richness of melted cheddar against tender roast beef, and you've got a sandwich that's craveable from the very first bite to the last.

Fresh Ingredients, Handcrafted Every Time

At White or Wheat, we believe fresh sandwiches start with quality ingredients and a little craftsmanship. Nothing about the Bonsai Beef is an afterthought — the roast beef is sliced thin for the perfect texture, the slaw is made to add real crunch, and every sandwich is built to order. That's what handcrafted means to us: not fast for the sake of fast, but fast because we care about getting it right.
