“This place is amazing great staff very helpful. 11YR old asking question, they answer all of her sub questions. Great place and clean. Form the guys making the subs in the line to the guys cooling up the hot subs. For sure will come more often and try a hot sub. Thank you team JMs 😊“

“My recent visit to a local Subway restaurant left me with mixed feelings. While the overall experience was satisfactory, I encountered a significant issue that raised concerns about food safety and preparation practices.

Initially, the sandwich I ordered was quite enjoyable. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors blended well together. The bread was soft, and the vegetables were crisp, which is what I have come to expect from Subway. However, this positive experience took a turn for the worse towards the end of my meal.

As I took my final bite of the sandwich, I felt something unusual in my mouth. Upon inspection, I discovered a piece of sharp material that appeared to be plastic or some other hard substance, approximately an inch long. This discovery was alarming and completely overshadowed the enjoyment I had experienced while eating.

Finding foreign objects in food is not just unpleasant; it raises serious concerns about food safety standards in place at the establishment. Such incidents can pose health risks to customers, including potential injuries from sharp objects or contamination from materials that should not be ingested. It is crucial for restaurants, especially those serving food directly to consumers like Subway, to maintain high standards of cleanliness and quality control during food preparation.

In light of this experience, it is clear that Subway needs to enhance its food preparation protocols. Implementing stricter quality checks and training staff on proper handling techniques could help prevent such incidents in the future. Additionally, regular inspections of kitchen equipment and utensils should be conducted to ensure no foreign materials are present in food items served to customers.

While my initial experience at Subway was positive due to the taste and freshness of the ingredients, finding a piece of plastic in my sandwich has left me hesitant about returning. It is imperative for restaurants to prioritize customer safety by ensuring their food is free from contaminants or foreign objects.“

“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!“

“From trying one smoked slider, I was hooked!! Italian sub, everything bagel with veggies (I request salami inside lol), chopped salad and this morning it was"Eddie's Breakfast Sammie" on cheesy jalapeno bagel. I couldn't wait and had to eat half in the store. Breakfast, music and a wonderful staff. You'll feel right at home!“

“best place ever. been coming since I was 7 yrs old“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“I come here every week! I love the tuna melt, its to die for! the staff is so kind and makes you feel so welcomed! I love coming to Berges, its a highlight of my week!“

“You will never get a sub quite as lovely as these. I don’t know why they’re so good, maybe fresh bread and fresh ingredients IDK but Turkey extra chili is my fave!! Mom loves Milanesa and the fried sides are YUMM too! I learned how to make my voice heard at the old little market. The big construction men at lunch time would be shouting out their orders. I was 11 years old and had to shout my order too!! Been a patron since 1982!!“

“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“

“Retro corner shop serving sandwiches, burgers, and other hot food.
----------
Wet Fries with Gravy
Grade: A-
I don't know what kind of stock they use for the gravy but the flavor is phenomenal. A little on the salty side but not too bad when you spread it out over the fries. The portion size is also massive
----------
Pastrami Dip
Grade: C-
The smokiness of the pastrami is good but it is really salty. I don't know if it's the pastrami itself or the au jus but the salt overpowers the rest of the flavor.“

“Super friendly service and they always remember your face. With me they always remembers what I order. Way delicious sandwiches. Condiments and well drinks not to be rivaled. Smack in the middle of Pasadena near Sierra Madre on Colorado. Enjoy!“

“I've been on a banh mi quest to find the best banh mi in San Gabriel valley.

I usually buy one item at all the places and it's the BBQ pork sandwich.
This is the best place so far. The sandwich is delicious. Old school delicious.

I call this banh mi, THE ULTIMATE. ?

Place is cash only.“

“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.“

“Had a hankering for pizza and came here. I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom and onion pizza and sat in my car and absolutely destroyed this thing. It was so good! Nice crispy crust, perfect tomato sauce to cheese ratio and the toppings tasted fresh. Banger of a pizza. ?“

“Good service and great food“

“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.“

“Give it up for the classic. You will not be dissatisfied with the quality of your pastrami. Location is super clean and fast service. Was here for lunch on a weekday. Sandwich was not salty you could taste the spices. Fresh French fries with horseradish sauce (aioli) well call me a cab - I am done“

“A huge pastrami on rye, hit the spot!
Back for a pastrami dip and an orange blast, wow. This is a must visit whenever I'm in town!
The place is a real blast from the past, they don't do it like this much any more. I want to try some other sandwiches but I can't pass up that pastrami!!!“

“great food the food was hot“

“I got the pork belly and side the couscous it was delicious.. yummy 😋“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“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.“

“Awesome food will definitely return!“

“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“

“Under new management but the food quality still seems great. Expect a decent wait as they get slammed with catering orders around lunch time and it can take a bit to make your food. Parking is terrible in this lot but you can usually find a spot.“

“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“

“Delicious sandwiches and over repriced drinks, one Aquafina for $2.35 😑“

“I happened to see one of these on the way to my hotel and it reminded me of the shops they had in Sac. Grabbed a grilled pork bahn mi for lunch with some egg rolls to share. Added a well done egg and loved it. All their sandwiches are really good. I will return if in the area for sure. Great food for a great price“

“todo delicioso 🥯🍩🥖muy buen servicio 👌 🤤“

“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“

“This is one of those local gem mom and pop restaurants that everyone loves. Great sandwiches, great onion rings and good prices. The restaurant itself it a little dated and the owners say very little, but the food speaks for itself. I've been coming here since I was a kid and will continue coming until I no longer can.

Parking: Free parking but limited parking spaces.“

“My favorite sandwich shop in SGV! My all time favorite is the Pastrami & Swiss Melt on the Marble Rye bread. They have great customer service & a large selection of food items 🤤“

“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 ?.“

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

“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.“

“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 always get the Dutch crunch bread. It is so good! Some of my favorite include Paul Reuben, the backstabber, and [the name of the girl I’m dating]. Everything I tried has been great! They also give you a free lollipop with every sandwich! Sweeeet!

One tip is not to wait too long before eating. The sauce can make the sandwiches soggy.“

“I actually take a bike ride early morning this time mad my run had to go by see the donut house open got there it was the cook he said need to wait 4 am that great was there 3:56 you say fresh donuts had to get 1 cinnamon roll 4 chocolate Glaze 2 chocolate devilfool so find to get only 5 m my home appreciate alll Mr V donuts hot cup of coffee“

“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“

“My friend brought me a sandwich from here for lunch today and it was UNBELIEVABLY good!!! WOW <3 =)“

“a great sandwich place in Whittier when you're on the go, quick, fast, clean, and great service.“

“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 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.“

“I had the Asian Chicken Salad! very tasty and fresh ingredients!“

“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.“

“Quality of the food at this location is just like the others. Can't speak to environment because I did a pickup, but it was crowded when I was inside and there were staff making sure dine-ins were taken care of, so no problems with foot traffic.

Service was fast considering I put in my order about 30min before, drove over in <10min, and bag was ready. Didn't have to interact with anyone!

Probably the hardest part was finding parking because this Mendocino is part of the Americana, which is paid garage parking. Street parking is tough due to location.“

“I remember getting some pretty good bánh mì to take on a flight several years ago, but didn’t know from which establishment. I came here today and it felt very familiar. I’m pretty certain this was the place.

We took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round bread bánh mì. We had the Saigon special, grilled pork and grilled beef. We actually asked for the meatball bánh mì, but they got our order wrong and gave us the grilled beef instead, which we didn’t realise until we got home. However, the sandwiches were still tasty; the meat was well seasoned and the bread had enough bite without being tough.

A decent place if you fancy some bánh mì. Takeout only.“

“Amazing sandwiches, I got the Cheese Steak on Dutch Crunch. I used to think Jersey Mikes had the best sandwiches but this is a game changer. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were very kind. Only issue is the parking is challenging.“
