“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!“

“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.“

“FABULOUS SERVICE ! We rate great service above everything else and if we don't get it.....we don't come back ! My wife and I were heading to Santa Monica ( 152 miles from Solana Beach ) for a weekend getaway on Friday and needed a planned lunch stop on the way. Last year when I renewed my Australian passport at the Australian Consulate-General in L.A my wife jumped online and found a Lokal Sandwich Shop on National Blvd close by for our lunch break. The sandwiches, drinks and service were excellent at that location and we expected the same here. Considering we were heading towards L.A on a busy Friday we made great time. We parked in the private carpark and walked in about 12.30pm. It was bright and cheery inside just like the other location we visited. A sweet young lady named Emily greeted us straight off. First up we both had to hit the restrooms ( nice & clean ) after our non-stop drive from Solana Beach. NO PROB ! And then we sat at a table ready to select our lunch order. At the service counter we ordered 1 x ICED LATTE, 1 x THAI ICED TEA, 1 X BBQ PORK BANH MI ( cucumber, jalapeño, mayo, housed pickled daikon & carrots, cilantro on a baguette ) and 1 X THE CUBANO ( Ham, shredded pork, pickled cucumber, swiss cheese, mayo, dijon mustard on toasted rustic sourdough ). BONUS BONUS BONUS...when I checked in on YELP I got an offer for 20% off our first visit. I TOOK IT ! So far so good...very friendly service from Emily the cashier and WE LIKED THE VIBE....an intangible thing that you feel. Our iced drinks were ready in next to no time and tasted very refreshing. I haven't savored a BBQ Pork Banh Mi since last year ( at a Lokal Sandwich Shop ) and this one did not disappoint...hitting all the right fresh and healthy notes. My wife went nuts over The Cubano...quite a large fully loaded sandwich. It wasn't real busy at that time of day so we took our time enjoying our delicious lunch. I noticed that they had craft beer on tap...I didn't see that at the location we visited last year. I asked Vanessa behind the counter....why is this location called Lokal Sandwich + Burger Bar instead off Lokal sandwich Shop ? And Vanessa replied...because this location sells beer. OK ! We really enjoyed everything we ordered here and had a relaxing break from driving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !“

“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!“

“Was it the first-time-fluke?

This place makes one of the most interesting flavor combos that does not make sandwiches boring. Love the saffron mayo.

When we came for the first time— they were out of focaccia breads and we had the WLF on baguette— it was fantastic. With the fried shallot, the flavors were well-balanced and found them different than other places.

We came back with the good memories and came back for the second time. The flavors inside of the bread were the same, but the bread— the original recipe— did not find the flavor balance and just sour throughout.

We learned that the original recipe isn’t good, but they don’t offer bread substitution (at least online). Tasting in a way could be just us, but not offering an option is not great. Happily willing to try again.“

“Always a great meal! Delicious & fresh!“

“Amazing place great location“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Highly recommend! Such a great vibe!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Mog Champ sends his regards.

One of the few places open in the morning for breakfast. Ordered a 6 inch philly sandwich which was delicious and filling to start the day! The salads and meat were fresh just like how we want it.

Service is great! They're friendly and quick, the tables and shop inside are kept clean. First subway experience in a long time and I'm glad we dropped by here for a quick morning meal! Thanks Subway staff!

Mogliest Regards,
Your Mog Champ“

“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.“
