“I got the special combo ham sandwich without cilantro and jalapeno - but I found a jalapeno in my sandwich. My partner also found jalapeno in #20 grilled pork with lemon grass even it was ordered with no jalapeno. Beside that complaint, the banh mi was really good! The bread is soft and crunchy without hurting the roof of our mouth and it's fully stuffed with the meats and veggies while being affordable!

Although the inside of the shop is clean and organized, the streets is seemingly sketchy and dirty looking so be cautious. It might be hard to find parking.

Otherwise, it's worth to stop by to try!“

“This review is just for the Sichuan Hot Chicken which I've eaten twice. Overall it's pretty good, but it's not great, and I really want it to be great. In concept this is a really thoughtful and well-executed sandwich. It has great veggies and really crisp, juicy chicken. It reminds me of what I had in the night markets in Taiwan. The breading is good too, although I feel it could be a bit thicker.

Where it falls short for me is in flavor. The Sichuan spices are there, but they are overpowered by the sheer amount of chili powder and salt that the chicken is breaded in. I was looking for more in the sauce as well - honestly maybe just adding more sauce would accomplish that. If I could get more of that peppercorn flavor, less salt, and more sauce, I think it'd be a 10/10.“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“Best cheesesteak in California, and I’ve had plenty over the years. The ambiance, for me, was childhood in the 80s in the hood, even with the greasy ms pac-man on the side. It’s behind Valero, unmarked building, that looks like a motel. The meat is high quality, service is efficient, cash only, puts flavor. One of the real-it’s places in Oakland.“

“But...First I'm stopping at the Primavera Delicatessen! I was on my way up to Broadway Terrace to pick up Foster Grant the Warthog, he's been kinda in the dumps because he's all alone, he's got his pitbull buddies Rayban and Maui Jim but it's not the same. What he needs is a date night, so I'm taking him back to Napa for a hook up with Rosie O' my girlie Warthog, he's gonna come back to Broadway Terrace in a month or so, he'll be all scarred up and sore but he'll have some stories to tell his pitbull buddies that's for sure!
I'll tell you...that Primavera Delicatessen sure hits a homerun sandwich...I'm talking Grand Slam!

“Excellent Sandwiches. Can't wait too try other things on the menu. Service is great but the place is out of the way on a side street. If the location was closer to jack london square I would think they would be alot busier. I found Montes only because of the sandwich board on the corner of 3rd street. Definitely a must try if your in the Area. The Chicken Pesto Is the Bomb!!!“

“TL;DR - A good entry into the Oakland burger scene downtown, but with only 1 person working the grill, fry station and register, expect to wait during lunch hours.First, the service was really friendly but as I was the 4th in line and there was only 1 employee working the register, fry station, and grill, it took a while. The lone employee apologized for the wait, but honestly not his fault.The Sandwicheez burger was really good! Not quite my favorite in downtown Oakland, but I’d eat here again. The white roll was soft enough and a little crusty around the edges which was a really nice textural contrast. That said, this was a pretty wet burger.The American cheese was melty, adding saltiness to the burger in a good way. In fact, for me, the patties could have been seasoned a bit more and honestly, for this style of burger, I’m not sure that Niman Ranch beef was the best choice.Yes, the burger had a good, beefy flavor, but the patties lacked the crust that I really look for in a burger cooked on a flat top that is supposed to be on the nicer side. Given the price, which is lower than many other burger places in the area, this is an acceptable trade off, but I really don’t see what Niman Ranch beef adds here unless it’s the weight of name recognition.The Sandwicheez burger was missing the smashed avocado, or else I couldn’t see or taste it. After eating it, I’m not entirely sure what it would have added to the experience except for maybe creaminess, which might have helped to cut the aforementioned wetness.The fries were shoestring-style and fried just the way I like them; golden and crisp on the outside with a fluffy interior. The one downside of the fries was that they were all really short for some reason. And I guess it’s also worth mentioning that their house ketchup is Hunt’s and not Heinz.All in all, this is a pretty solid option, but would be better if it were staffed by more than one employee. When I went, that dude was working so hard, he had to ask me what time it was and was surprised when I told him it was nearly 2pm.From what I saw, because this one employee was so busy, he actually had to have customers pay for their food just as they received it, not before. Anyway, good food with a few minor things to tweak, but really pretty good.“
