50 Best Sandwich Shops in Los Angeles

“This sandwich shop had been on my list for a while & we finally got a chance to try it via delivery. I can definitely say it didn’t disappoint! Our order was correct thanks to the great service. Ambiance seems fast casual but the sandwich itself was DELICIOUS. Will definitely be back when I’m craving a sandwich.“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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!😎😋😋😉😉“

“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🥰“

“Was staying at hotel before a flight so went here to grab an early dinner. Did a Caesar salad with chicken. Very basic, but exactly what you expect. Much less expensive than same thing at nearby hotel. Good dressing. Staff was friendly. The LAX sign is a block away.“

“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.“

“seeing the og building burned down on my walk there was a bit of a shock. this building is cute and has rainbow strobe lights and funky couches. single plain cheeseburger was $13, bit overpriced. but the staff was very friendly and gave me a free water cup 🫶🏻“

“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.“

“The sandwich is great, I don't remember their names tho. The hot roasted beef is the one I ate.

The staff are nice, but they don't accept cash there, paying with cards or Google pay is fine.

You can choose to eat inside the store or outside the corridor, I will prefer eating inside since there's flies outside.

I will definitely come back here again.“

“Still not entirely sure I've gotten the best of Uncle Paulie's. Three or four visits in I can tell you that two deli sandwiches will run you thirty bucks. That those sandwiches are good but not amazing and that I still have no idea what any of the sides are about. This location is essentially impossible to park at, like they on purpose picked the hardest place to park in Los Angeles. The best sandwich I've had so far is the roast beef. All the sandwiches get soggy over time so don't wait to eat it.

Parking: Good luck finding parking at this location.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“Sensational! Thank you LA sandwich bar for making my Tuesday a little better. I ordered for the first time through their app which was really easy and my order was ready in 10 min! I thought I included a drink, but when I arrived the man who gave me my order said I didn’t. I confirmed and was happy to get a drink there as there was no wait. The LA sand which worker said my drink was on him today. I really appreciated that! The shop is so cute and open, in a great location on Melrose. I’m definitely going again. This sandwich is amazing!!! Thank you!!!“

“I order sandwiches from here from time to time and they’re always phenomenal but I came here today to say; I don’t even LIKE potato salad, but my friend surprised me with the creamy dill potato salad from here today. Trusting her word, I gave it a shot. I devoured it all. That was one of the best things I’ve had in a LONG time. It was so perfectly balanced and delicious. I will be back to buy more!!!!“

“Hidden gem forsure $8.50 per sandwich and delish market chicken was great like goes by so fast you order by the time you pay your bag is ready.

Parking: you park in P1 (green) and take the elevator up , cross the street to the left bank and
Go down the escalator twice“

“Love to start my day with fresh orange juice and bagels here. Staff is welcoming and cheerful“

“Not as good as the Slausan location but still a great option for the DTLA area. They gave me the wrong order and I didn't feel like making it a thing so I just ate it even though it wasn't what I wanted. I felt like the lady behind the counter would have made a big deal out of it so I just ate it.“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“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.“

“Black girl who works here is soooo sweet and is a cherry on top of the dine in experience. My boyfriend and I like to get the steak sandwich and the not so fried chicken sandwich and go halfsies on them. Highly recommend. I dream about this sandwich combo“

“Hollywood Hidden House was fantastic- the best event venue I've worked with in LA!!! The outdoor courtyard with it's hedge walls, elegant fountain, and gorgeous chandeliers created the perfect garden party atmosphere. We asked Betty if she'd be able to work with purple for our food/beverages to support our event's theme, and she went above and beyond! Everything was so innovative, fun and creative, and delicious! This is the perfect spot for a private event!“

“I love love love this place! The sandwiches are so simple but the ingredient pairings are just chefs kiss ✨ Tommy really knows what he’s doing.My typical go to is the Ironwood with turkey and I like to get the 43rd Ave as a dessert sandwich ?The 43rd isn’t always on the menu but I can confirm that they always have the ingredients.

Parking: As of Mar ‘24, parking is free“

“I've been coming here for 40 years! always so delicious!“

“The vegan sandwich is incredibly good. I'm not vegan, but this is an incredible combination of flavors embraced by high quality bread toasted to perfection. As someone else mentioned, portions are huge: I always get two meals out of one sandwich.“

“Great 👍 sandwiches and for vegans 🌱 @vgone“

“The BEST! I rarely write reviews but I had to for V Cafe! Fresh food, friendly staff...every time I have visited I have been pleased! 💓“

“The store is very clean is ran very professionally whoever the manager of the supervisor is doing a great job at this restaurant the food is wonderful“

“Delicious 🤤 but tiny portions for the bowls ! Stick to the subs if you want to be full ! Prices are not bad , but I love big salads and it was lacking veggies 🥗 the vegan steak was actually loaded up though lol“

“It was clean and delicious!

I like the soup + bread brunch combination, but I was disappointed that there weren't many places that sold it, so I found this place and ordered it, and I was very satisfied.

Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup + Warm Toasted Bread

Delicious and recommended!

Next time, I plan to try the sandwich menu.“

“This is hands down my favorite place to get a sandwich. Authentic as can be they make their own fresh breads and have amazing espressos.

This is everyone's little secret as it is a diamond in the rough their desserts sandwiches are amazing and they offer delivery. They have a pretty extensive wine menu that you would be able to pair with different cheeses they offer“

“Some seriously delicious but fairly small sandwiches. They have many locations all around Los Angeles this being the most Westward of the bunch. It’s located in a small strip mall with a lot of parking. However, the parking lot spaces are very tight so if everyone is not parking well it may be hard to find some spaces. If the parking lot is full it’s easy to find free parking in the neighborhood behind the shopping center. It’s more of a to go type of place although they do have tables inside to eat. The attendant behind the counter was very polite and all of our items were made quickly for a last-minute Saturday night dinner.

As mentioned the sandwiches here are quite small so don’t think of it like a submarine sandwich location or somewhere with giant belly busting sandwiches. It’s closer to the size of Porto’s sandwiches. We decided to try a few of their sandwiches. We ordered The Bentley, The Medianoche, and the Carving Club. The best of the bunch was the Bentley because the meat was truly tender and seasoned well and the sauce with it made it extra creamy and just a wonderful bite. The Medianoche was also pretty good, although not the most authentic Cuban sandwich. I wish it would’ve had a stronger mustard flavor, but still I really enjoyed it. The Carving Club was probably my least favorite of the three just because of its small size. The flavors were good, but it didn’t have the traditional club flavors in my opinion. We also ordered the tomato soup and fries as our sides and I was a big fan of the tomato soup, however, the goat cheese in it was extremely small, but the fries were not my favorite because they were a little too crisp and hard. I tend to like mine soft and salty.

Overall a solid sandwich place that has some great to go options. I would recommend anyone in the area searching for a great sandwich.

Parking: free parking lot attached“

“My wife has her own sandwich which is a Michelle sandwich turkey, provolone, easy on the mayo and mustard with avocado on toasted Italian roll, just ask for a Michelle they know what it consists of with a bag of chips and pelegrino pamogranit and tangerine try it you'll like it and tell them Michelle sent you thank you and bon a petite ?.“

“Hey you guys so this location has plenty of parking it's really small like most locations but they get the job done. I always get the club supreme and it's so delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access“

“This is my go to Jersey Mike’s. It’s located conveniently right off the freeway, and the workers there always put my food together with love. The food is always fresh, nvr just thrown together…a few times I’ve come Dangelo, Jose, Oscar, and Armond have all shown the best customer service, always super cool and my favorite sandwich always comes out to perfection. Thanks guys !“

“Love Magee’s! The absolute best in meat, mashed potatoes, and gravy!“

“me and my son eat firehouse subs at least once a month or sometimes twice the sandwiches are so delicious my son loves the grilled cheese sandwiches and my favorite sub is the firehouse sub“

“I got an order to go and got the Mama’s Chen’s Chinese chicken salad. It was delicious, crispy and flavorful.

I got the extra dressing to make it even more phenomenal. Probably one of the best Chinese chicken salads I’ve ever had.

I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“

“born in Philly, raised in PA. Their sandwiches are authentic. bread, meat, and cheese.“

“There is no clean restroom. There's only a public bathroom that the entire courtyard uses, unfortunately. During the day during work hours, it's actually not so bad, with not too many homeless, but I think the tables need a little more love and cleanliness.“

“I always enjoy going to Subway, I find their sandwiches to be flesh and tasty, Yesterday I tried their tuna salad for the very first time and was delicious. The employees take great care in preparing the sandwiches.“
