“Incredible Gastronomic Experience Definitely my new go to whenever possible ❤️❤️❤️“

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.“

“I was comparing several companies for a charcuterie board for a Christmas dinner and decided on Marvelous Creations - and it was the perfect choice. The service was excellent, and the board was beautifully crafted. The cheeses and meats were fresh and delicious, and delivery was seamless and right on time. My guests absolutely loved it! I highly recommend Marvelous Creations for anyone looking for a stunning and delicious charcuterie board for any gathering.“

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

“Okay… I’m just going to say it — this may have been the BEST sandwich I’ve ever had! 🤤🔥

I stopped at Ghost Sando Shop and honestly, I was not prepared for how ridiculously good this sandwich was. Every single bite was packed with flavor, the ingredients were fresh, the bread was perfect, and the combination of everything together was just 🤌🏻 chef’s kiss!
You know when you take that first bite of something and immediately think, “Ohhhh… THIS is good”? Yep. That happened. 😂
I’m pretty picky when it comes to sandwiches, and this one absolutely exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t just a good sandwich — it was one of those meals you keep thinking about afterward.
Ghost Sando Shop, you’ve officially set the sandwich bar VERY high. 👏🏻🥪“

“I’ve been to LA Sandwich bar for lunch several times and it’s consistantly excellent - big menu, extremely high quality ingredients, and warm and friendly service.

Decided to order catering through them for a party and placed an order for about 60 sandwiches, a mix of regular and vegetarian options.

The sandwiches were a total hit! Our guests raved about them and it was perfect, handheld food to enjoy while talking to friends (we cut them into thirds to make it easy for guests to grab while they were chatting).

Would highly recommend not only for a quick lunch but a great option for a group gathering as well.“

“Always a great meal! Delicious & fresh!“

“The food was amazing!!!! I actually ate all my food! The Godfather was Delish!“

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

“I don’t usually give out 5 stars… but this spot is a gem… and a diamond in the rough… I’d have never expected a sandwich spot in Santa Monica that shares the space with a tobacco/cigar store… but wow… color me impressed… super super nice guy working the counter and making the sandwiches, I’m assuming he’s the owner… I asked for a recommendation on his favorite, and he said the tuna… which I appreciated for a number of reasons but hits different when the owner is recommending the least expensive sandwich… usually it’s the opposite. Please listen to me, this is one of the top 2-3 best tuna sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life. Loved the additional fresh ingredients, from chopped eggs to cucumbers, lettuce and fresh red peppers. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone.. also the bread was a perfect toasted pillowy texture that I couldn’t get enough of. Top tier“

“The sandwiches is so delicious, the staff was very friendly and the most important the quality 👌👌“

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

“The pastrami is top-notch—thick-cut slabs with an ideal fat ratio that deliver a wonderfully tender bite. It's not overly salty, so the texture feels more like smoked brisket than deli-style ham. Prices and atmosphere were amazing.“

“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.“

“The pastrami here was amazing....and don't get me started on how good the matzo ball soup was - wow!“

“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.“

“Went here to meet a friend for a quick lunch. Staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. They offer a decent amount of very interesting sandwiches , most of which can be made vegetarian as well. I believe there was one vegan sandwich also. I ordered the Giving Tree sandwich , it came on delicious homemade focaccia bread with spicy mayo, herbed turkey, cheese and arugula. What a fantastic sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and was sliced SUPER THIN. The bread was really good quality. Also they sell Zapps chips which I love. The voodoo flavor is the ultimate OG.“

“Amazing place great location“

“Had a short layover and I wanted to try a pastrami sandwich. This sport is what came from my research. I got the “basico” and it did not disappoint. It was a great delicious sandwich. Highly recommend.

Service was friendly and fast!

I read if I leave a review I get a free churro, unfortunately I am not there anymore. So if someone goes there after reading my review, maybe the bros as arts pastrami can give my churro to you!“

“I came here for lunch and ordered the Thai mango salad. It was really good and refreshing. It has a good amount of spice too. The manager who took my order provided great service. I think his name is Pedro. He was really nice and friendly. The food didn’t take long to come out either. Their drinks were also delicious.“

“Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly 🐕
Food was delicious for the most part with reasonable prices and we'll be back. That said, the fried chicken on the sandwich was pretty disappointing, kind of low quality and gristly which put off the rest of the good flavor.“

“I spent lunch time at Mendocino Farms with my friends and we enjoyed the patio atmosphere. The service was great and the food delicious!“

“The coffee?
DELIGHTFUL.

I took one sip and purred so loud a table shook.
Perfect temperature, perfect flavor, perfect for tiny chaos creatures.

The chocolate muffin?
Tasted like someone baked a hug and added extra magic sprinkles of joy.

The service was so friendly I almost climbed onto the counter to adopt them.
Everyone smiled at me like I was a regular.
(Which I am now. Emotionally.)

Cute, quaint, warm, and welcoming...
a top-tier hideout for tiny plushes and their humans.

Would return.
Would demand muffin rights.“

“Tasty sandwiches at a great price!!“

“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🥰“

“I had a long day and I got here at 8 pm on Saturday. Jared which he is store manager treated me with respect and so welcoming, I wanted the fresh potato salad and he went all the way in the back and got it for me . I believe he earned his position. Thank you my brother and hope to see you achieve all your goals in life . 🙏🔥🤝“

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

“I recently had a craving for a Quiznos sandwich, and this location was so convenient since it's right next to Walmart. I decided to stop by, and I'm really glad I did.
It was wonderful to see what feels like a family-owned business. I know it's a franchise, but the owners and staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their friendly service really stood out and made the visit even more enjoyable.
I ordered the Black Angus Steak sandwich, the Turkey Bacon Guacamole sandwich, and a bowl of soup. Everything was delicious! It's becoming harder and harder to find sandwich shops that still serve soup, so that was a pleasant surprise. Even though the weather was warm, the soup was comforting and full of flavor.
The sandwiches were fresh, carefully prepared, and tasted fantastic. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food.
Great food is always appreciated, but exceptional customer service is what makes a place memorable. I would highly recommend this Quiznos location to anyone looking for a delicious meal and genuinely friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“WOAH. Best banh mi I ever had. They put them on freshly made baguettes that they make (so it’s fresh and crisp)! The chicken and veggies were so perfectly fresh and delicious! Filling and you don’t feel like you ate a heavy sandwich—this the place. The biscoff latte, also the shit. While waiting for my order also got to buy my Asian chili sauce for my house that most Asian restaurants have (if you are a frequent buyer of this, was also a nice convenience!)
It’s right in front of Tesla chargers so also can be most efficient charge/snack ever.
Don’t hesitate!!!!! Get this!

My photo sucks, but trust me, it was fire“

“Amazing sandwich at a very fair price.

All the ingredients were super fresh.

The signature sandwiches are all very unique. But if there is something specific that you want, there’s the option to do a custom sandwich.

I will absolutely be coming back next time. Next time I I am going to try a smoothie and report back.“

“Taco 🌮 we had tonight were fantastic.“

“this is my new favorite place for sandwiches. I always buy at least two. every time I go to work so I have one for work and when I go home. very very clean.“

“great food. great experience and quality of meat“

“Sandwiches we ordered were excellent. They made the perfect snack for going to the beach. It was my first time there and the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. They went over the meal options, made some suggestions, and were overall helpful! If you're looking for a good deli sandwich in El Segundo, Rinaldi's is the definitely the place to be!“

“We got to the building and we were immediately told to order at the kiosk instead of them taking our order there. We did, got our order and there was stuff in the sandwich missing so we had to go up to them again and have them add the toppings. This could have been avoided if they just took our order in person in the first place.“

“I hired Betty and crew to help cater an open house at my business. They came early, set up, and did everything on their own. The food was really good, and visually very impressive for my guests. They worked their butts off and the event went really well. They cleaned up after and left everything spotless even as many of my guests lingered. Everything was seamless. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“The employees is what makes this subway 5 stars. They definitely look very over worked and usually only 2 working. Yet they still help every guest with a smile and positive attitude. The owners should staff at least one more employee to help.“

“Delicious Philly Cheese Steak.“

“Jimmy the Server made our entire experience! We would come back to just visit Jimmy. Engaging, very polite, & accommodating to all our extra requests. FYI, highly recommend the hash browns & cranberry mimosa!! #teamjimmy“

“The gentleman that took my order was fantastic. He had so much positive energy. His attitude was remarkable. He made me feel like I ordered the entire menu, all I ordered was the turkey chili. Thank you for being the definition of great customer service.“

“This place is a hidden gem. The Philly cheesesteak with fries/drink combo is one of my favorite lunches on the westside. Plenty of well seasoned meat & veggies, and the option to add lettuce/tomato/mayo - which I do. And the sandwich is very neatly wrapped in paper and cut in half - making it easy to eat. The crinkle cut fries are always perfectly cooked - with a crisp outside, but still fluffy inside, and then enhanced with seasoning (Lawry’s maybe?). Plus self-serve Coke fountain beverages (a sign says only 1 refill, but they don’t seem to be stingy with this).

They also have teriyaki bowls and burgers - but I haven’t tried those yet.

They have a GREAT selection of bottled & canned sodas/drinks, including Jarritos, Jones, Boylan, and Snapple - big winners!

The inside is dated and worn…and it’s perfect!
It’s been here since 1957, and appears to be family owned & operated.
This place is THE BEST - go and support - you’ll be glad you did.“

“Excellent place to catch a bite before taking the D line. Sandwiches are always packed really well if you're just stopping by on the way to work. There's a sandwich for everyone and the coffee is good. Good spot to pickup to wait in line at the Wiltern if you can make it before they close.
Everyone who works here is also really nice :-)“

“Was at UCLA and was looking for a good sandwich for lunch. Glad I made the trip. Sandwiches were great and fairly good portions. A bit higher priced, but the flovors and ingredients were top notch. Great service front the counter explaining the options and giving some food opinions. Definitely be wback if I'm up here again.“

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

“I normally here get the prosciutto and burrata sandwich, which is always solid. My last time in I got the BBQ brisket sandwich, for the price the portion did not disappoint, a hefty sandwich and the brisket was very good. I will be back to try the pastrami next, but the BBQ brisket sandwich was delicious and its hard to find good BBQ anything in LA.“

“Highly recommend! Such a great vibe!“

“Convi is so good. I was not much of a sandwich person until I tried Italian sandwich at Convi and now I crave it occasionally. So, Convi definitely converted me into a sandwich person 🤣

And I love their shop! It’s tough to find a place with good coffee, food, and vibe but Convi & Jurassic Magic hits all 3! Which has me coming back as a loyal customer. Love yall!“

“Do we understand what a Philly cheesesteak is?

Let me explain. The whiz / provolone is melted into the meat. If you ask for extra cheese, it will not look any different. Just eat the sandwich and see how you feel

This is at the reviews saying “there’s no cheese” or “the meat is too salty”

This is a genuine Philly cheesesteak. Slightly heavy-handed on the whiz, but I was very randomly and pleasantly surprised. I haven’t had that taste since 8 years of leaving Pennsylvania“
