50 Best Sandwich Shops in San Diego

“This is a small hole in the wall gem. The sandwiches are around six bucks ! When was the last time you got a made to order flavorful sandwich with all the fixings for that price ? The super pleasant stuff was fantastic . We tried their spring rolls and other steamed rice cakes . I heart this joint and can’t wait to come back for the catering“

“Delicious, fresh, and high quality sandwiches that are packed with meat. My favorites are The Cheers Combo, The Charger, and The Californian. The liquor store also is well stocked with a variety of drinks and snack options. The people who work here are very friendly.“

“I have visited two times now. The egg sando is delicious, slightly sweet, and is very large and filling. The vegetarian katsu is okay. I think that they need a denser sauce to go with it, since the watery sauce soaked the bread and made it kind of soggy. Also the katsu itself had a very oily taste (like the oil it was fried in wasn't cleaned recently?)

It's a very small hole in the wall place that you can't see from the parking lot. You're better off parking and then wandering around towards the back to find it.

It is also pretty pricey for a sandwich. I believe I paid $12 or so dollars per sandwich. But, I did see that they offer happy hour, so I'll have to plan for that next time!

That being said, the egg salad was so good that I came back a second time. It's not quite like the famous ones in Japan, but the bread is fluffy and delicious and you can tell that it was made with care.

Parking: It's very hidden. Park in front of subway or the Indian restaurant and walk towards the back.“

“best roast beef in all San Diego 10 star“

“Wow, such great food and awesome service! Had the lobster roll and it was quality lobster and overflowing with actual meat. Everything was delicious.“

“I wish I could put a 10/10. Loved this place for years. I'm surprised I didn't put a review earlier. I love the lady who always serves me (Dena). So kind from my very first experience to now, years later. My first time i didn't see it was cash only. She let me go with my sandwich and I came back to pay her. So trusting.
Now...the sandwiches. I've had my favorite since the beginning. (New Yorker) but I've tried others and food is fantastic. Recommend 100%. Police come here alot for the food. Good standing with customers. Friendly environment. Great food. 10 outta 5 stars for me.“

“Amazingly friendly staff. When you walk in, you immediately feel like family. There is so much variety. The #25 is amazing with it's fresh sliced avocado. The #45 is easily my favorite hot sandwich. There is always 2 new soups daily and all of them are absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and fully customizable. The prices are easily justified when you consider just how big the portions are. The staff in general will always make you feel welcome. They are attentive to their customers and have a unique way of making a bad day a lot better. Highly recommend just for the atmosphere here.“

“Amazing sandwiches we found to be the best in town“

“Awesome sandwiches and service!! We had Ike’s cater a tray of sandwiches for a co-worker’s retirement and they were a big hit! And the manager was super friendly and service was fast. Wish I had taken a photo of the nice tray they quickly put together but we were so hungry and quickly ate all the sandwiches. Everyone loved the fun names of the sandwiches too. I highly recommend!!“

“With the Vietnamese sandwich shop now under new management, we decided to take advantage of their grand opening special, which included a free drink and bánh mì que for posting on social media. ??

Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. ? Several customers were already inside, enjoying their regular bánh mì.

The shop features 3-4 small tables with stools, creating a cozy seating area. The space was clean and the menus were straightforward, making it easy to place our order. ✨

The service was incredibly friendly. Although the lady suggested her favorite, the fresh fruit tea, it was unfortunately sold out. ?? We chose the Thai tea and milk tea with boba instead. She generously added free fried shrimp to our order! ?❤️

The Thai tea was good, but the highlight was the milk tea. Unlike the typical black tea base, this one had a fragrant jasmine flavor that was absolutely delightful! ?

The bánh mì que is a new variation of the sandwich, being shorter and slimmer. It was packed with a delicious amount of char siu meat and fresh veggies. ???

Given the quality of these items, I’d definitely return to try their regular bánh mì when I’m in the area and craving a delicious Vietnamese sandwich. ?“

“Great food and very healthy and delicious salads! The focaccia bread is to die for!“

“Its a real hole in the wall spot. Been coming here since I was a little kid. Sad to see inflation hit this gem but I still occasionally buy a couple. I used to buy 12/24 at a time special #1 for the family.

As authentic as it gets, if i ever hit the lotto or make it big id invest in remodeling this place for the owner or get him in a new location. I hope he teaches someone how to make it as he does. My lao side and Filipino side has always made this spot a staple.“

“My new favorite sandwich place! Everything I’ve tried here is phenomenal. Loved the Baked Brie! I fully recommend this place to everyone. Just amazing!“

“Co-worker and I go out for lunch every other week. He remembered this place from when he worked down the street from it. So we went here as he remembered it to be good.

Good amount of parking. We walked in and the place itself is dated. The place could use an update. But most people I saw were there for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The food was priced well. There has been some price increases since some of the other pictures that others have posted with prices. But over all still a good bang for your buck, compared to what you get at other places near by.

For the food I got the gyro with fries. It was packed with meat and the fries were hot and crispy. I forgot what my friend had, I believe a sandwich but he also had fries. We enjoyed our food very much and will be going back soon.“

“Amazing sandwiches! Quick and delicious!“

“Great food, friendly, hard working staff!“

“Love that they use all the authentic ingredients in a Philly Cheesesteak“

“This is my favorite sandwich place. Great subs, the Turkey Avacado Swiss is my go-to because it has good toppings, the vinegar they use just balances the whole Sandwich and gives it a delicious "zing", and the slightly toasted bread brings it home. All the sandwiches I've tried here are great, especially their Philly steak.It's definitely a treat every time I come here.“

“todo ;lo que ordenes esta delicioso sabroso y fresco la gente es maravillosa junto con los encargados te invito a que pruebes🥰“

“The owners and the people working here make it the best Jersey Mike’s around!“

“Had the farm Turkey club and was not disappointed. The smashed avocado and pickled red onion are a match made in Heaven. This it’s exactly what I was craving. So good with the dill chips. Thank you for the prompt service also, especially as busy as it was when I was there. I’m a fan.“

“I haven't had a pastrami sandwich in decades, so today I thought I'd have one here. It comes to you nicely hot dressed with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo &mustard. Its quality pastrami and the bread is delicious. First time here but I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches. Got my eye on the roast beef to order next.“

“This is my new favorite place, the food is amazing and perfectly seasoned and the prices are so good! I got the oaxacalifornia burrito and it’s definitely enough food for two meals. Their habanero salsa has good flavor without being too spicy. Overall this place is worth a visit, and everyone there is so nice!“
