The only one that comes to mind meeting your specifications (close to Jing'an, delivery, clean and authentic) is a place in the Golden Eagle called "City deli". It is a bit pricey though, between 30-60 RMB for a sandwich. I think they're offering a BUY 1 GET 1 FREE ad that I saw online elsewhere by entering the code "KATSKY" which makes things a bit cheaper. I'm not sure if it's still valid, but the website is www.citydeli.cn so you can take a look for yourself. @ Ken

They were offering some buy 1 get 1 free campaign if you used the code katsky, so we tried it and we ended up liking it a LOT. the sandwiches are big and made like American sandwiches, any foreigner missing their home food would enjoy this a LOT I went to this deli the other day with my friends while I was shopping in the Jing’an district, called City Deli I think.

While I didn't eat much of it during two 3-day stopovers in Tokyo, I noticed it all looked pretty much like Japanese food (gotta love those little plastic food models)...except for mapo tofu which looked pretty similar to the real thing (can't say I tried any though) and was available in EVERY Chinese restaurant. It's around in the US, but hasn't caught on nearly as much as say...Kung Pao Chicken, which really isn't much like the Chinese version either. @fred 100% @Justin
