“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.“

“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.“

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

“This is BY FAR one of my favorite sandwich spots in Los Angeles!

Everything about the sandwiches here is absolutely perfect - from the perfectly crunchy dutch bread, to the generous toppings and ingredients in each sandwich that is both filling and yet also not overpowering in any way.

It's an unassuming exterior for the most part - but within, the seating is ample for anyone wishing to dine-in.

I've also experienced nothing but the BEST service and friendliness on all of my visits to this establishment.

They have both hot & cold sandos, although my personal favorite remains their main staple - 'The Melrose'!
Delectably delicious with plenty of creaminess, flavor, and texture. Nothing overpowers other ingredients.
I love that!!

When in the LA area, I highly recommend making a stop at the Ghost Sando Shop!“

“I ordered the Ahvaz after asking someone working there what is their favorite, and it did not disappoint. If you like heat and tons of flavor, I would highly recommend. The bread, sosis bandari, and seasonings were probably some of the best combinations I've ever had, and it might genuinely be the best sandwich I've had in LA. Next time I'm in LA, this is likely the first spot I'll be going to!“

“Over the past year Lokal has been my absolutely favorite place in LA. If you’re a Venice/ Santa Monica or even marina del ray or Culver City local you have to start regularly coming here.

Not once have I had a bad dish or a bad guest experience. The staff is always incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food and bevvies are super consistent and have not had one miss on this menu.

Whether it’s an on the go AM coffee, a small lunch burger to refuel me or a cozy dinner sandwich to wrap up my day. This place has been the spot.

The prices are extremely reasonably ( if not the most reasonable in West LA) and again, can’t emphasize the overall consistency enough. Love ya lokal!!“

“I was delighted and surprised at the size of the sandwich, considering it's relatively low price, and right in downtown Santa Monica! The service was good, and tuna was filing and delicious. Chill music in the background, and a quaint seating area was perfect my rainy day journey.“

“Truthfully, I’ve only ever ordered delivery from Ggiata… that said, I have ordered MANY times. They has the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had AND the best breakfast sandwich. No small feat.

Edit: the coffee pictured wasn’t from Ggiata“

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

“PERFECTLY WRAPPED SANDWICHES

SERVICE: The owners make sure everyone is taken care of. Now, that is excellent service!

Food:
Popular with my family. My mom really liked the chicken salad sandwich. Sometimes, it is unavailable.

Parking situation:
Very challenging. Pick up vistors parking on the BUS ONLY lane...not too good situation. Drivers waiting on streets blocking traffic to find a spot.

Conclusion:
Cute sandwich store with condiment and snack displays.“

“Bella at Original Rinaldi's is awesome if you need a sub for the beach or to grab a good cheaper option before a flight I would highly recommend stopping by. There is free parking in the alley behind the building which makes it super convenient too.“

“I’m a pretty picky eater. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich and Spiced Curried Couscous. Both were extremely good. I didn’t even have to have anything removed or substituted! Spice level wasn’t too spicy perfect level! Not over powering. Price was very good for the amount of food you get! I got two things and a drink; didn’t even break 17 bucks. The blue cow print theme is adorable. There’s even a little cow you can pose with. I wish you would bring one to Reno now! I’m going to dream about the couscous for years to come.“

“Tasty sandwiches at a great price!!“

“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.“

“Philly’s Best on Melrose is legit! I got the classic cheesesteak and it was really good — juicy thin-sliced beef, melty cheese, and a soft roll that didn’t fall apart.
The portions are big and it actually tastes like a real Philly cheesesteak. The owner even visited our table, which was a nice touch. Friendly staff, quick service, and chill spot right on Melrose.
If you’re in the area and want a solid cheesesteak, this is the place. I’ll definitely go back.“

“I ended up choosing the vegan banh mi, I loved it. I'm not easily impressed, and I will be back.
I came back and tried a chicken caprese. Also very good and the staff was again so nice. Pedro was welcoming and convinced me to try the fresh lemonade. Guava, Pomegranate, green...Amazing and fresh. You NEED try it.“

“Soooo delicious!!!! Such a hidden gem discovered :’) I am so happy we found this place. Thank you for the amazing foods! My Philly Cheesesteak was soooooo good! The fries were soooooo warm and delicious too. The beef teriyaki was super flavorful too! Definitely recommend all to stop by and enjoy their delicious foods!“

“Stopped by the tattoo shop next door on Friday the 13th and was drawn in by the owners kindness and smoothie samples she offered as we waited. The sandwiches are absolutely amazing! They’re fresh, they’re greatly portioned, and one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. The customer service was over the top! I will definitely be stopping by whenever I’m in the area again 😊“

“Amazing place great location“

“Delicious Philly Cheese Steak.“

“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.“

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

“Big shout out to this place. We all know how rare it is to receive your order and it looks EXACTLY like the menu pic showcasing it. The guy who made it for us knocked it out of the park. Price is more than fair and I felt completely full without any leftover which to me is the perfect combination. Our group of 3 had the Caprese style, the Parma and the Chicken Milanese. All were good.“

“The BEST! I rarely write reviews but I had to for V Cafe! Fresh food, friendly staff...every time I have visited I have been pleased! 💓“

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

“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.“

“3/10/2026 update: omg i finally got the shirts today!!🥳 it only took a month and a half to get resolved, unfortunately did not make it in time for my friend’s bday party but they’re here and I know she’ll love it!

2/24/2026 update:still no response😭😭

I remember when the merchandise first came out they were having issues with shipment and delivery times so I decided to hold off and wait.

I recently purchased two t-shirts, and was looking forward to the shirts when I received a noticed that that UPS was unable to deliver the package because I needed to pay the tariffs. Now, given everything that is going on I don’t fault SAH, I just wished there was some transparency about where the product is coming from. So then I go ahead and pay the $50 tariffs and I get a message that I’ll get a new delivery date. I’m like no big deal, I love the shirts, I want to support SAH. When I go and check the new delivery date it seems the items are being sent back to sender in Canada!

So I’m like, wth did I pay tariffs for if I was never going to get my package. I contact UPS and they inform me there’s nothing they can do and the only thing that can be done is to contact the sender, unfortunately they’re not easy to get ahold of and the emails keep bouncing back, there’s no phone number to contact and I keep waiting on someone to respond to the inquiry I submitted and nothing. All I want are the shirts *crying*! I know it’s a small business but whomever is in charge of shipment and orders needs to step it up and there should also be some transparency that the items are coming from Canada so in addition to shipment fees the customer also has to pay the tariffs 😑.

Anyways I’m hoping someone sees this message and is able to help with my order before it leaves the US and then I’ll have to pay the dang tariffs again which is ridiculous.

The food is amazing the shop is super cute, I honestly can’t wait to go back, it’s just unfortunate all I wanted to do was support and buy merch but it’s kind of a hassle.“

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

“This is one of my favorite breakfast burritos in the city. The people who work here are always so nice too, and I love browsing the unique drinks and snacks in the store. Don't forget to get a coffee at their sister store next door, Jurassic Magic. It's a knockout 1-2 combo.“

“I like to build my customized chicken sandwich and definitely add an extra slice of cheese and avocado to it! The food quantity is standard (not too large and not too small), the service was speedy, and the atmosphere is quiet and easy to talk. This is a convenient spot to grab a sandwich with plenty of customization options for those with dietary restrictions!“

“We had 2 sandwiches here, the Hugo and the Mojito. They were great. The fresh bread tasted so good and cheese was so fresh. The store is incredibly clean and I felt like I could eat off the floor. I really want to try one of their desserts next and perhaps the brisket. See you soon.“

“Very nice veg sandwiches. Their ingredients and the bread are good quality. I had the hungry hippie, and the sprout, sauce, beetroot and ciabata bread were fresh. It was filling and satisfying.

The staff is also very friendly.“

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

“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.“

“Great 👍 sandwiches and for vegans 🌱 @vgone“

“Tried Mendocino Farms for the first time the other day and I throughly enjoyed it! Maday who helped me was super friendly and gave a great recommendation. The Chicken Parm sandwich tasted super fresh and flavorful and I will definitely back for another soon!“

“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“

“The Peruvian steak sandwich is amazing!! Loved the cookies too!“

“Came in and got the bbq pulled pork sandwich which was pretty good, bread was a bit hard but it wasn’t bad or the best, but the wings were definitely a hit! Super juicy tender and crispy probably better than most chicken wing spots and the spring roll was trash it had no flavor at all and neither did the sauce that came with it so most likely not coming back“

“High quality and delicious. Service is fantastic. Today, Uber Eats guy delivered the wrong order. I called the store (Uber Eats sucks) and explained what happened. The manager remade my order and when I picked it up, they threw in free butter cake - all at no cost to me.“

“When I walked every employee had a smile on their face and the young lady named Melany took my order and she did an amazing job explaining the menu and bread options to me. For this being my first time at this restaurant and greeted with so LOVE and seeing smiles on everyone face then the manager even walking up to asking me how my lunch, this is a great spot.“

“Dude!!!!

The staff is so doggone nice… sure this is a service industry & and “have a nice day” seems customary; but they were happy, joking around (in a safe for work way) and the food was good too!
I got the blueberry grilled cheese which sounds, “interesting” but you have no idea. Try it. You’ll love it.“

“Not your typical strip mall sandwich place. Service is great. Sandwiches are awesome. Haven't had one sub par sandwhich at all. It's my perfect match great sandwhich (not skimping on portion size) and great craft beer, by brewery X and other local breweries.“

“Wow!
Quite 👍🏼 Impressed

the portions could be a little more, TBH - but what can ya do? 📈📉🗞️

Absolutely, phenomenally delicious!
1st visit, i grabbed a Cold Sandwich, and the 2nd time I did the 5th Avenue Pastrami Sammie (Hot) 🥪, both were delicious!

And their Matcha making skills were quite impressive! 🍵
Grabbed a Sunday Special Sammie 🥪 and Matcha at Discount $.

I'll be going back for sure!
Sooo many choices!
Enjoy, y'all!“

“The store is very clean is ran very professionally whoever the manager of the supervisor is doing a great job at this restaurant the food is wonderful“

“Taco 🌮 we had tonight were fantastic.“

“I am a student at UCLA and get food at this subway location every week after my hospital shift. The service is always great and some of the employees have even started to recognize me. Gourish is one of the employees that I see every week and he always greets me with a smile and has already memorized my order. Love the employees and the food very much!“
