This place is fantastic. The food is superlative, I've had the Corned Beef and Roast Turkey sandwiches and they were absolutely delicious. The place is completely non pretentious but with top quality fresh ingredients that some hipster joints could only dream of delivering. I'm a stickler for corned beef, I'm from NY, they do it right here. No BS, good value. Only downside is it's take out only. Worth it.

I used to frequent Lunchbox as they have a solid variety of food options. Unfortunately when enjoying one of their hot plates I discovered an insect in my food. This is highly disturbing and concerning from any food establishment. Food containing fruits/vegetables should be thoroughly and carefully prepared to prevent insects, which may carry harmful diseases to humans, crawling about in the food. While mistakes do happen, I’m even more disappointed with Lunchbox’s response to the incident. They asked if I wanted my money back and showed an overall lack of concern, stating ‘that sometimes happens when we don’t wash our vegetables good enough’. I’m deeply concerned if you are routinely serving customers food with insects crawling inside of it. Hopefully this message will push Lunchbox to be more attentive when preparing food - nobody wants pay money to find nasty surprises in their cuisine.

This has become one of my go to spots for lunch. the staff is incredibly friendly and feels like a family, the sandwiches are delicious and filling, and the prices are great! I love the brisket and italian trio. try one of those once and you’ll keep coming back regularly like i did. highly recommend!

This place is exactly the spot you want to come to for lunch. The owner is super nice and you can tell it’s got regulars with how he greets everyone in the door. The menu itself is quite vast but he does a good job walking folks through it and running a tight ship.
Sandwich itself was quite tasty. I went for the brisket which was juicy and tender. Certainly will fill you up as well. I would love to come back to this place to try it again next time I’m in town.

Everything on the menu is great, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t get again. Hands down, my favorite pastrami sandwich.

Bread is soooo fresh. Sandwich is amazing. Service is wonderful
Hands down the BEST deli sandwich in downtown Oakland. They have amazing pickles and always give extra when asked.

Asked for pickle with my sandwich. The staff said it comes with pickle. Disappointed to not find any pickle.
Average taste. Nothing extraordinary.

I love this place the sandwich and bread are fresh. My favorite is the pastrami on French roll, light mayo,with provolone cheese and a dab of mustard, and onions. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU SANDWICH CHOICE.
