15 Best Sandwich Shops in Los Angeles

“*I apologize for the lack of pictures. I was very hungry*

I will call this the little sandwich shop that could.

I cannot believe how amazing the subs are here. Also how huge they are. You can honestly get a regular size sub and split it with a friend and it will get the job done.

I was so hungry I don’t even remember the name of the sub I got. I know it was amazing.

To the owner of this wonderful establishment I give you my word I will return and do a much better review.“

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“I’ve been eating here through 3 ownerships since the 1970s. I really like the new menu, the outdoor eating area and the bar. The service isn’t 5 star but it’s good as it ever was and I’m fine with it. Unfortunately Ihad a very lousy customer service incident on the phone tonight after they botched my delivery order. I ordered grilled cheese sandwich and onion rings. Postmates delivered matzoball soup and rings. Johnny’s customer service lady (didn’t offer name) and the manager refused all responsibility for the wrong item they mispacked; she told me to take it up with Postmates. OK, but meanwhile can I get my sandwich that Johnny’s failed on? “Take it up with Postmates.” When I questioned that logic from a customer service perspective she said “you’re failing to understand!” and told me “don’t get an attitude with me!” I replied “an attitude with YOU?” and she hung up on me. Come on, Johnny’s, this whole thing started with your mistake. Accept responsibility and make it right. Don’t blame delivery. Just make it right.“

“Best east coast style sandwiches in LA no one comes close.“

“Incredible Gastronomic Experience Definitely my new go to whenever possible ❤️❤️❤️“

“Unique and delicious Mediterranean & Middle East food you will never regret to eat there. Food & ingredients are so fresh and tasty makes me want to go back everyday! You cant find better chi khufte in LA. ( probably in the rest of U.S. as well) You can also buy variety of spices and food ingredients from the shop as well. Early breakfast or late brunch my choice would always be Sahags.“

“Not only they have the best employees and kiwi lemonade/cooler, the sandwiches are on Mom n bub's bread, made with love and humanity. Also, if your judgy, a hater and racist( as the soup Nazi would say) NO SAMMY FOR YOU BABY!😎😋😋😉😉“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“I love the kabab kobideh with sangak and reyhon. Kabab was juice and we enjoyed it. Just I leave 65 miles away. I wish I close by so I can go every weekend. How lucky the people leaving close by🥰“

“The food was amazing!!!! I actually ate all my food! The Godfather was Delish!“

“Pane Bianco in ROW DTLA is a hidden gem for artisanal sandwiches and Italian-inspired bites. The bread, baked fresh in-house, is the star of the show—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. Their sandwiches, filled with quality ingredients like fresh mozzarella, cured meats, and vibrant vegetables, are simple yet bursting with flavor. The casual, laid-back vibe makes it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or takeout. While the menu is focused mainly on sandwiches, the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail make each bite memorable. It’s reasonably priced, considering the craftsmanship and freshness of the food.“

“Excellent bahn mi! Pictured is the classic cold cut sandwich that comes with a deliciously salty sauce on the side. The bread is the ideal texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love bahn mis, this place will not disappoint! The staff is also very friendly.“

“First time there. The food is a little pricey. I bought a steak sandwich with onion ring, fries and mozzarella stick inside the sandwich. It was good but it could have used more meat.
The service was good and the staff was friendly.
The seating could use lower tables for people who are handicapped. But it was a good experience.“

“Cool place for boba drinks. They make them promptly and the price is clearly posted. $5 for a Thai tea with boba includes taxes. We ordered six drinks and received them promptly. There is a sitting area to enjoy your drinks too.
A cup of Thai tea with boba and ice tastes great on a hot day.
They only accept cash.“

“Awesome sandwich from the LA Sandwich Bar! I had the Paris, which was delicious. The bread was light and crunchy and the signature sauce added a nice, ever so slight kick. They have great chip and drink selections too. Friendly service and good seating options for a small shop. I will definitely be back to try another sandwich, if I can resist getting the Paris again!“
