50 Best Sandwich Shops near Encino

“The Lemon chicken and Farro soup was amazing. Quick service and excellent food choices. The Turkey Avo Salsa Verde was slightly spicy, and delicious. You can enjoy it with or without the salsa, as the sandwich itself is flavorful with the cotija and avocado and sweet hot pepper.“

“We discovered Tasty Town Café by accident when taking our baby to his pediatrician—it’s right in the same building, and the amazing smell coming from the café convinced us to give it a try. Now it’s officially become our little tradition after every appointment!

Parking is easy, the café is clean, and the staff is always so friendly. The food is honestly so good—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We’ve tried the sandwiches, wraps, and coffee, and everything tastes gourmet, like it’s made with real, handmade love. Even my picky husband is obsessed with their food, which says a lot.

Fast service, delicious options, and just an overall welcoming vibe. We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend“

“So glad I found this little gem. My turkey club sandwich was slap your grandma delicious. My plate had a scoop of potato salad in the middle, I like potato salad enough but not crazy about it, this little scoop was so good, I will order a full side of it next time I go back, so, so good. My sandwich was really great, wheat bread was perfectly toasted and savory, bacon was thick and slightly crispy, just how I like it, turkey was fresh, veggies were crunchy and fresh, little pickle slices on the side. This place is old-school, too, nothing fancy just simple delicious fresh food. It's owned by a sweet middle-aged Japanese couple. I paid $14 for my sandwich with a Dr. Pepper of course 🧐“

“We love Fat Sal's.
We go there for smash burgers mostly. I definitely haven't eaten every one, but of all the smash burgers I've had all over the city, Fat Sal's is to me the best. Lacey and crispy around the edge, American cheese as God intended on a smashburger, good bun and you can add lettuce and tomato if you want. Sometimes we'll get a loaded side of fries as well. The menu is full of delicious sounding, but a little over the top combinations of things piled up on a smashburger or a sandwich. I'd love to try them, but the regular smashburger is so delicious. They have a pastrami smashburger on the menu, but it has chicken tenders and a bunch of other stuff on it as well. I don't want all of that, I want a smashburger with griddled pastrami added to it, maybe some Swiss. The regular smashburger, maybe with an extra Patty added is the go-to for both of us.
The staff working there all knows and recognizes us. They're very friendly, and very customer service oriented. They always want to make sure we have everything we need and that we're taken care of, they'll swing by the counter where we're eating to see if we need any more ketchup, napkins, etc. It's really next-level service for this kind of a fast casual. Lots of TVs up high on the walls showing whatever sports is on, plus a Fat Sal's Venice Beach skater video running on a loop. Recommend if you like a delicious smashburger in a cool low-key environment with great service. And who doesn't?“

“If the owner or upper management reads this for all the workers that worked today around 2:15pm please give them raises or a huge shout out for me pretty please! I had just left my doctor office five minutes prior that gave me some disturbing news on a life long auto immune condition and I’m sure it was me but the sandwich end up having oil and vinegar on it when I intended to say put it on the side I felt myself just bursting into tears and just saying I’m sorry that’s not what I was saying etc. the compassion that literary ALL of the employees in their showed omg I highly rate this location if for nothing else the world class customer service and as one of them said to me “of course Jersey sandwich should help your day get a little better” !!! Please send my kuddos and a deep thank you and it’s just a reminder you never know what someone is going through a little bit of kindness goes such a long way!!!“

“THE BEST sandwiches in LA County. BAR NONE.“

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“Excellent, very focused, lovely people working very hard here to please their guests. I want to thank my fellow restaurant folks who work so hard to get our orders correct.“

“4.5/5 stars. My friends and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat around 7ish after we flew in. Service was quick and options were great. I got the bahn mi sandwich and it was great! The only issue was that the bathroom was so gross, I didn't end up using it. And that says a lot for me.“

“Love this place so happy they opened this! Did I mention they have wings??“

“Defrankos was our first stop on our 12 day vacation from Canada. We got off the flyaway and walked down a few blocks with all of our luggage in tow. The staff were incredibly friendly, they gave us such a warm welcome to California… but beyond that the food was AMAZING. We are currently sitting at the airport going over our trip and all 3 of us agreed the very best food we had on this trip were our 3 subs from Defrankos. ❤️

Kid-friendliness: The staff were so friendly to our kiddo and really went above and beyond to make his experience great.“

“PERFECTLY WRAPPED SANDWICHES

SERVICE: The owners make sure everyone is taken care of. Now, that is excellent service!

Food:
Popular with my family. My mom really liked the chicken salad sandwich. Sometimes, it is unavailable.

Parking situation:
Very challenging. Pick up vistors parking on the BUS ONLY lane...not too good situation. Drivers waiting on streets blocking traffic to find a spot.

Conclusion:
Cute sandwich store with condiment and snack displays.“

“Tasty sandwiches at a great price!!“

“wow Fresh Good TastyFood great area..Definitely worth it.....“

“S & S - Sarah and sandwiches were awesome. Also, you know the vibes are good when the person in front of you buys you Cookies to pay it forward. Thank you, Michael. I appreciate you restoring faith in humanity (and I can’t wait for them to add your sandwich to the menu, meatball, Parmesan, with tuna and peppers)“

“Stopped by for an afternoon sandwich. This is a nice little shop with sandwiches and Vietnamese food.
The people behind the counter are really friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a #7 pork sandwich. It was really good. What impressed me the most and stood out was the fresh vegetables in the sandwich. They were crisp and refreshing with every bite. I really enjoyed this sandwich!
This is a take out only place, no indoor seating.“

“Best sandwich shop in the Valley. I got the chicken Cesar wrap with fries and my boyfriend got the turkey sandwich. Delicious. Will go back again. If you pass this place up for the big chain sandwich shops, you're really missing out an a quality sandwich from a great man, Frank.“

“I have been looking for quinoa all over LA. This place serves it and it is very good. The mix has just the right amount of dried sweet cranberries and a few chickpeas. It was perfect. I had a salad with tuna avocado and egg salad. I was able to sub the egg salad for tuna which was very nice of them. They gave me a fork full of a mayonnaise free tuna they had prepared on the way out which again was a great experience. This is the kind of place that you feel cares and you'd want to keep going back to. A+++“

“This place is great. Their Philly cheese steak is delicious! Very tasty. The pastrami hoagie was awesome! I wanna try their whole menu. Fries are excellent. I will definitely be back. The lady who assisted us was very helpful and informative. God bless.“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“The people working here are so kind and warm…the food is consistently delicious! I love the mama Chen salad and not so friend chicken sandwich , the soups are great…curried couscous is my absolute weakness and today for the first time I tried their Aqua Fresca (bc the employee gave me a free cup) and it was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted!

Oh last thing…the seasonal menu is FIRE!!!! November to remember sandwich is absolute LIFE.“

“good spot to get lunch especially if in a time crunch. Quick service and got my food within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The French dip was really good and I liked the potato chips too. The only negative thing I have to say is it was a pretty small sandwich and that seems to be a common thing among all the sandwiches after looking at other reviews. Still would recommend going“

“The Peruvian steak sandwich is amazing!! Loved the cookies too!“

“Oh nooo. I see you’re “temporarily closed”. I hope you haven’t gone out of business. As someone who vacations in London England twice a year, I’m so happy this British shop is here, but I’m sad to see the temporarily closed designation on Google Maps.“

“Amazing sandwiches and especially the Cajon chicken wrap. good stuff.“

“Good colt cut sub. The inside was very spacious, only problem I had was it was a little warm inside didn’t necessarily make me want to sit down and enjoy my sandwich there but the sandwich was good. Good value I paid 15 bucks for a mineral water bag of chips and a large sub. I thought it was a great deal and the food was decent.“

“🌟 5 Stars – A Truly Delightful Experience!

I had such a great experience at Mendocino Farms in Century City! The place was spotless and had a welcoming, modern vibe that made it a pleasure to dine in. But what really made the visit exceptional was the staff—everyone was incredibly kind and helpful.

A special shoutout to Katherine and Gisselle, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made me feel like a valued guest. It’s rare to find such attentive service, and they truly made my day.

Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for great food, a clean and comfortable space, and top-notch service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Love getting lunch from this Mendocino location. The employees are nice , welcoming and professional. The manager Arthur is always a nice chat up about sports. Love to have walked in on the day of the Birthday celebration and back the next day for the $6.25 special wrap. Hope it can make a come back.“

“​I had a fantastic experience at this Subway location! The staff was exceptionally professional, and clearly dedicated to providing great service. My sandwich was built with fresh ingredients; the veggies were crisp and the bread was perfect. Furthermore, the entire restaurant was spotless and very well-maintained, which really enhances the overall dining experience. This is by far one of the best Subway locations I've visited. Highly recommend!“

“Overall great bang for buck. The bahn mi are huge and delicious. Bread is fresh and not too crunchy.

Downsides are the service is very unorganized. The ladies behind the counters are yelling and handing out special call in orders. Also, they have a secret menu thats not displayed anywhere. My order was forgotten and the order was wrong when I eventually got it. Also, the atmosphere isn't very welcoming. Its loud, hot, Dirty tables and floors. Its just a good fast food take out type place.

I'll still be back to try other things but definitely won't be eating it there.“

“Great 👍 sandwiches and for vegans 🌱 @vgone“

“I absolutely love this Subway location at 8859 W Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood! As someone who works in the healthcare industry, I’m always on the go and don’t have much time for a sit-down meal. This location is a lifesaver — quick, convenient, and always fresh.

Laura and Monica are the stars here! They know me by name, greet me with a smile every time, and truly go above and beyond to make sure my order is made exactly the way I like it. Their attention to detail and friendliness make a huge difference. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

In a city where fast, fresh food options can be limited, especially in West Hollywood, this Subway stands out. Service is quick, ingredients are fresh, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I’d recommend this location to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable spot to grab a great meal.“

“Bobby went above and beyond in providing me with great service on Monday night. He's is truly a great asset to this business, and no he's not my cousin or friend that I'm trying to compliment. He definitely deserves a promotion.“

“The atmosphere was really clean and organized. As of right now they brought back the MEAL OF THE DAY which includes 2 cookies or chips with a small drink and if you want a footlong it’s just an additional 3$ which to me sounds like a perfect price and meal. One of the workers told me that the deal will only go on until march so get it while it lasts.“

“The definition of a little hole in the wall, and I mean that in all the best ways. The food is delicious, affordable, fresh, and quick. It's a kind of a combination subs and a little bit of Korean, sometimes at the same time. Probably my favorite philly cheese steak in town. The bread is great. The teriyaki sub is delicious.

It's close to where I work and it's my go-to lunch spot when I want to go out.“

“I recently stoped in at Mendocino Farms in Porter Ranch and had the pleasure of being assisted by Art. His kindness and attentiveness truly enhanced my experience. Art went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my meal was perfect, providing thoughtful recommendations and making me feel genuinely valued as a guest. His warm demeanor and exceptional service are a testament to the high standards upheld by Mendocino Farms. I look forward to returning, knowing that team members like Art are dedicated to providing such memorable experiences.“

“The franchisee is a proud owner and has been there for 23 years. I hadn't been to a Quiznos and quite some time, it came up in conversation and I decided to hunt one down only to be surprised that there has been one in my neighborhood that I didn't even know was there. The food is great, Quiznos is a forgotten gem in the sandwich world. I also miss the Quiznos commercials with the spug monkeys. We love the subs! Because they are good to us. 😂“

“This is my favorite location because the staff here are always welcoming!! They are nice!! I like this team!! Also the way they prepare your food, is way different than other locations, they put dedication and inspiration to it. Great customer service. And place is clean every time I'm there.

Vegetarian options: A variety of veggies and veggies paties available

Kid-friendliness: Proper for kids to dine in.“

“I’ve been eating subs from My Hero since 1972! THE best subs I’ve eaten, ever. Moved through the years, and always went to My Hero’s when within 5 hours by car to where I was staying! The high quality of their food has never waivered! The buns are soft, yet chewy! The tomato salad in each sandwich is always fresh! Plus they give a generous portion of the protein! My favorite has always been pastrami! Lean and tasty, everytime! The staff is welcoming and genuinely happy you are there! I’ll be going in a week as I pass through the area! Will be the highlight of my trip! Thanks My Hero for keeping the memories alive and never disappointing!“

“Jimmy the Server made our entire experience! We would come back to just visit Jimmy. Engaging, very polite, & accommodating to all our extra requests. FYI, highly recommend the hash browns & cranberry mimosa!! #teamjimmy“

“I’ve tried different locations of Jersey Mikes but for the first time I received AMAZING customer service and it started with being greeted as I walked in and than Jacob took my order and he was super friendly didn’t have an attitude even with the customers before myself he gave us exactly what we asked for and they were fast. Thank you to him and his team, I’m leaving very satisfied!“

“I stopped by this Subway this morning to get my wife her chicken noodle soup. We were already in the plaza for my wife appointment at the clinic. So when she went to her appointment, I came to this Subway to get her soup. I came in the morning so they were not busy at all. When I walked inside, I didn't see any worker so I looked at their menu. Once I started looking, a lady came from the back and greeted me. I asked her if they have any soup and she told me that they had chicken noodle soup or broccoli soup. My wife likes both but she prefer chicken noodle so I just asked for 2 orders of it. The lady asked me if I wanted cracker as well and I confirm that it came with the soup which she said it does so there no extra cost. My wife ate her soup at home and liked it.

Vegetarian options: You can customize your sandwich or salad here so I highly recommend this place for vegetarian.

Parking: There plenty of parking spots here in the plaza.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible“

“First time trying this for delivery. Our order was done exactly how we asked and super fast too. If you like grilled onion on your burger like i do...hold onto your hat because these were not just grilled but carmelized to perfection. And the butter cake...holy moly...move over cannolis cause you've been replaced with this as my new favorite dessert! I cried tears of gourmet joy while I ate“

“Today I ordered the Italian, it was $12. The sandwich pepper relish was pretty spicy. Overall I thought the sandwich was delicious. I’m going back tomorrow to try the meatball.“

“Great balance of flavors on the chicken salad sandwich from the creamy chicken salad and the apple slices and apple butter providing a bit of sweetness and texture. However, I wish the hot sauce was actually hot so it could have added something to the sandwich cause it was shockingly sweet. And the bread is good, flakey and like the salted outside.

Good place if you’re in the area and want a nice lunch for a decent price.“

“I had the #10. I loved it. It's worth the extra money. I hate subway.“

“Great subs, Fresh breads, veggies, deli style meats and cheeses. Highly recommended :)“
