Our first food stop was there ocean subs and I couldn’t be any happier with our experience . The cilantro lime vinaigrette is to die for!! We will see you very soon Lee!! Thank you soo much for being a great human being.“

“I drove from San Jose to South San Francisco to get sandwiches. I finally taste it. Wow, it's worth to drive for sandwiches. I love it.“

“I've never been great about remembering to actually review places I like. But I feel I would be doing this business a disservice by not expressing how much I adore their food. I don't get the option to come here very often, once a month at most when i'm in town for a work trip, and I have to make it a point to stop in every time for a massive, quality sandwich“

“It's not the best sandwich for me. We tried the Italiano sandwich it was our first time here. I still prefer the little lucca. The place is cool. You'll see alot of of old pictures of the 49ers from.the It's superbowl teams. We wanted to try their other sandwiches tho.“

“All the samiches at this spot are good! Highly recommend the Lobster Crab samich. They only have it on Tuesdays and Fridays.“

“Stoped by for a fresh breakfast to start the day. I was promptly greeted and helped to order an omelette. I dined in and enjoyed the breakfast. It’s nice to be able to get freshly prepared food close to the hotel to start the day out. I’m looking forward to trying out lunch next time in town.“

“to die-for sandwiches!!!!“

“I had lunch at Roma Deli and ordered a chicken sandwich that was delicious.

The person who served me was patient and professional, from our phone conversation all the way to the in-person order.

The place is clean, tidy, the team is great and the service was quick, I barely waited. Fresh ingredients.

I was going through a stressful situation as my flight at San Francisco Airport was disrupted and I had been given hotel and meal vouchers. Roma Deli accepted the meal vouchers without any hassle, which I really appreciated.

I would definitely recommend this place to international travelers staying nearby, or anyone simply looking for a great sandwich. Thank you“

“I stopped by for lunch not long after opening and as soon as I come in the lobby of the medical building Banh Mi Love is located in i was met with so many savory fresh smells... Some of the meats, the fresh bread and spices.

The place seems to be ran by a mother/daughter combo, or at least a similar age difference and they're very warm and friendly taking my order and offering the jalepeno option. Initially I got a combo pork banh mi, and a passionfruit lemonade. After I paid (cash and cards are fine) I noticed the Vietnamese lays and got a bag of fried crab flavored chips. The spicy hot pot looked good too but I wasn't feeling spicy that day.

The sandwich was absolutely lovely. I could taste the individual pork, pickled veg, and vinegary tang of the sauce, all coming together to be more than the sum of their parts. The bread is a standout being crispy and flaky, but not dry, although I do like it a little chewier. Close to classic Vietnamese baguette. The lemonade was sublime and would get again even at 4.50. the pate was a little moved to one side, but I got a ton of perfect bites with all the meats and shallot and carrot. The chips tasted like imitation crab that was fried in potato chips and tempura batter, really enjoyed their unique taste. All this was just about 20 bucks, but with my own water and skipping the chips I could get an amazing lunch for 10 bucks.

The parking garage is free and the door into the lobby from the first floor of the garage is like 10 feet from the restaurant. I would go out of my way to come here, or even better walk over from the galleria for a yummy treat. Please come try this place.“

“we are from San Diego and found this place on yelp. The name itself peaked my interest. must say, sandwiches, spring rolls, Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. will come back soon.“

“We didn't realize how much a difference good bread has on a sandwich! Their meats and veggies are already good, but their sourdough is next level. We love it so much, we get the baguettes to take home. The staff is really nice here as well and it's clean with plenty of seating. Parking is easy in the adjacent lot. Good value, too.“

“What a classic sandwich shop! I ordered the sleeper on Dutch crunch! It was huge and I see why it’s called the sleeper! I took half home and ate half there, the lady was kind to warm half of it, but I think it might be better cold. Plenty of seating inside and I was surprised the have a hot grill section as well! For a sandwich less than $20 this spot is definitely a deal! I’ll be back to try some of the hot grill selection next 💯“

“Just an amazing sandwich shop that I wish we had in our small town of Hanford.“

“The food here feels fresh and made using high quality ingredients! The Avenue, California Veggie, and the Tomato Bisque were absolutely delicious! And the staff is even nicer! Highly recommend to anyone looking to grab a quick bite around SFO!“

“Large sandwhichs fresh ingredients and a great selection! Deli is clean and the people working were friendly. I will defently be back gave menu to bosses and I think one went over there today.“

“This quaint little gem boasts of an array of cheeses and charcuterie. Their sandwiches are one of the tastiest with ingredients of the highest quality!!“

“Favorite place in the area!! Lou’s Cafe is an awesome neighborhood joint. Great breakfast sandwiches at really good prices and super nice crowd. We love the ultimate sammie and the southwestern omelette. Can always count on a good morning at Lou’s!“

“Awesome and fresh ! Defo worth going there for food and check it out your selves, it will be worth it!“

“So good!!! Best sandwich I ever had!“

“Best sandwich in The Bay Area, period! Don't mess around with making your own. They way they do it is also perfect no matter what sandwich you get. Order Ahead on their website if you are in a hurry or want delivery. Fantastic value. One sandwich is huge.“

“This is the place to get a Great Deli Sandwich. They also serve burgers too. They have a great salad bar as well. It's in an industrial park area off of Harbor street, so parking can be tight. I will definitely hit this place up again when I'm in South San Francisco near the airport 😃😃😃“

“Lorenzo's Sandwich Shop is a hidden gem for anyone who loves a great sandwich! Every item is made fresh to order, with high-quality ingredients and generous portions that leave you fully satisfied. The bread is perfectly soft yet crisp, and the fillings are flavorful and well-balanced.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a quick bite or a relaxed lunch. The staff are friendly, efficient, and always ready to make your experience enjoyable.
If you're craving a delicious, hearty sandwich made with care, Lorenzo's Sandwich Shop is definitely worth a visit!“

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!“

“I had a Provolone cheese sandwich today 1/11/25. It was delicious. Their garlic sauce and hot sauce are AMAZING! Definitely worth the wait. Good customer service as well. Thank you.“

“We ordered the #1 Combination Pork bánh mì and it was really big and delicious. You could clearly taste the Vietnamese ham and cold cuts, and all the ingredients worked so well together.

The Vietnamese drip coffee was very good, and the Thai tea was also delicious without being overly sweet. The ladies there were super friendly and welcoming, which made the place feel warm and comfortable.

The only small downside is that parking can be a little difficult, but it’s definitely worth it. We’ll definitely be coming back many more time“

“Amazing sandwiches 🥪 & salads 🥗“

“I just wish they were open Sundays!!“

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners“

“I continually have a great experience at Mendocino Farms! Their food is terrific and always fresh. Portion sizes seem reasonable for the price.

The best part without a doubt is their team. Everyone is friendly and greets you with a smile. A special shout out to Ivan L and Edgar who are terrific managers and go above and beyond.“

“Had such a great experience at Mendocino Farms! The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded my expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients. The atmosphere was welcoming and had a great vibe, and the customer service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Special shoutout to Jalen, who checked in on our satisfaction and went above and beyond by letting us try their cookies — such a thoughtful touch that made our visit even more memorable. My only small suggestion would be to clean the tables a bit more regularly during busy times, but overall it was a wonderful experience and I’ll definitely be back!“

“I was so juiced and excited to see we were about to get a sourdough & Co. I love sourdough dough too and the lemonade is soooo goood. They for sure are top quality. The owner is really nice. If you haven't had it, definitely give them a try.“

“The sourdough alone is worth coming here. The bread is crispy soft and fresh. If you are a fan of sour dough this is for you, and if you don't know if you are and want to try really good if not the best sourdough ( I hate using the word the best because I'll come across another gem that will blow my mind).

Mac and cheese is made with real cheddar, there's a distinct sharpness that you only get from cheddar.

The sandwich was good, but next time I will have something the complements and celebrates the sourdough, maybe something thing like turkey, avacdo and cheese.

The service is friendly, and fast and music is lively. They could use more fountain drink options but the sourdough is so good I can't hold that against them.“

“The burrito bowl was sooo good, and the shrimp PoBoy.....I gotta pop out on a day when she makes pot roast or salmon bites. Good food, good service, no complaints👍🏽❣️❣️❣️❣️ I'm dined in I've taken out I've ate breakfast I've ate lunch I ate dinner the food is cost efficient there are always vegetarian options the parking is pretty good and it is wheelchair accessible.“

“I have to mention Fariya she actually is super outstanding! Always smiling 😀 very professional but yet so humble. She makes customers feel welcome. Everytime I go in to order Ariel is always sweet and professional. He has a wonderful report with customers. I love Evelyn she so nice very patient, I love when she is on schedule I'm so lucky I'm just 3 blocks away. Evelyn and Ariel truly goes the extra mile just to make my sandwich the way I exactly like it coz I'm a diabetic. Love this spot“

“Subway San Carlos served me an excellent Spicy Italian made just the way I like it. Mine came on Italian Herb and Cheese bread that was perfectly toasted. Drink on the side was a Dr Pepper, and it was also perfect.
Atmosphere is pretty standard for an older location that has not been updated in many years. The tables , food counter prep area, floors and windows are clean and neat

Parking in front and back.

The one strike against Subway in San Of Carlos was the bathroom. It was obviously not cleaned well for at least a few days. No hook to hang a jacket. Sink drain empties VERY SLOWLY. And when I visited I first had to clear the plugged up toilet and give it a light cleaning before I could use it. Would never had sent kids in there alone because of the lack of upkeep.

Close to the San Carlos Transit Center for easy SamTrans and CalTrain access.

Except for the restroom, I count this Subway visit in San Carlos California as a win.

You may want to stop by yoursellf for some well prepared Subway food too.“

“Reliable sandwich/wrap/toast spot. The servings are big, ingredients taste fresh, and flavors are balanced. Nothing special, but every neighborhood needs a spot like this! Seating is tight inside but probably could fit 10-15, and there is more seating outside. Feels kind of lame that they charge a few cents more for a wheat tortilla.“

“A cute little neighborhood flatbread spot that has quickly become one of our go-to casual bites in San Mateo. As the name suggests, everything here is made with sourdough, which gives their flatbreads a really distinctive flavor and texture.

The menu is simple with just a few signature options, but they do them extremely well. The crust is super thin and crispy — which honestly makes all the difference — and the toppings are always fresh and juicy. My personal favorite is the mushroom flatbread, which I highly recommend if you’re visiting for the first time.

The space itself is simple and clean with efficient indoor seating. Nothing fancy, just a comfortable neighborhood vibe. They also have a small outdoor table, which is great for people like us who bring our dog babies along.

Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to.“

“Standard subway, friendly service, but Excelsior is somewhat sketchy. This shop got robbed while I was there: some African American teenagers with face covers darted with their sandwiches and drinks without paying for them. It's not the business's fault, but still, doesn't feel good to visit a venue where that happens (the robbers could have been violent and looking to take more than just the food..).“

“I've been to a few sandwich and cos and this is by far the best run. Clean, organized and good service. Others I have been to felt like they were cutting corners, this one maintains a higher standard.

Overall it is basic sandwiches done well. Morning to write home about, but is also exactly what I want sometimes.“

“We recently ate here during our vacation in Pacifica. I actually heard of the restaurant from a tiktok video. We ordered the steak sandwhich and they were delicious!! The meat was so tender and juicy 🤤. I ordered mine with light onion and mayo and it was just perfect! It was a nice chill spit to grab lunch. I can't wait to be back in the area (I am from PA) and grab a bite again!!“

“This is the best Jersey Mike’s in the entire state of California!! As soon as we walk in everyone is just beaming, smiling from ear to ear, everyone behind the counter was just lovely to talk to. Additionally, there were so accommodating to my wife who has celiac. They were so cheerful, and happy to accommodate her dietary needs. And it didn’t make the situation feel like a burden or a hassle at all. The food was delicious, served and ready to go out the door really fast. Everyone in this restaurant needs a raise upon a raise. Appreciate everyone in this restaurant!“

“I know Ike personally and have loved his sandwiches since he first opened. Glad to make this my first indoor dining experience since the pandemic started!“

“…Ike’s is a San Francisco creation…although not fully vegan, they have dedicated vegan options…their sandwiches are big and filling…I love “The Gramps”…perfect for a meal on the goal when exploring the many sites of SF…a true SF original! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-29“

“Best sandwiches and great customer service! Really nice guys. Get the number 13!“

“Get the tuna or Italian BMT with tomato sauce. You just ask for what they like and get that. Don't go stones and out might get a ton of stuff or you should because it is healthier that mcdonald's . Let a go with get high and go this Subway.“

“nice service great sandwiches❤😊yummy“

“The best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thank you for having such delicious gluten free sourdough bread. 😋“

“Excellent service team thanks🙏🏻 delicious sandwiches that were made with high QA/QC of generous fillings/proteins that were portioned/weighted. Very impressed by the process and the staff. Yummy warm sandwiches 👍🏼 Unassuming but very clean shop🤓 highly recommend when one needed a quick meal to and from SFO😎 actually TOGO was our fav sandwich shop in college🥰“
