It's a deli. It's cheap but nothing's baked fresh. What's up with the rating?

this is a market with a deli counter. no seating so you have to go somewhere else to eat. ordered the turkey with cheese and avocado sandwich but they did not put in any avocado. also bought a very overpriced Naked juice and noticed that it had expired one month ago.

I went in around noon today just to see how it looked after the renovations they completed this week. It definitely was an improvement even though the finish was a bit rough I hope it didn't cost very much, but at least it's clean. This store hadn't changed in at least 25 years. (As long as I lived here.) I start a conversation with one of the employees the owner must have recently hired. Very friendly. Apparently the owner decided to spend his days doing something else. After loitering and chattering the guy's ears off, I decided to order a roast beef sandwich. That was a mistake. When I got home and started to eat it, my first bite was concert of nastiness. The Dutch crunch was obviously stale. I took the roast beef off of the sandwich so that I could eat SOMETHING but that was clearly there the inedibility came from. I spat it out as I didn't want to figure out what was wrong with it. If I was a gambling man I'd guess it is just low end cold cuts that were living not to far from "Sal". When the guy said that he has an issue with having to through away spoilage, that should have been the red flag. I hate to leave a bad review for this place as I was really hoping it would still be my reliable corner deli. It's especially disappointing because the owner used to make terrific sandwiches that were made with fresh cold cuts and bread. If you want a good sandwich I recommend going to the deli in the Whole Foods at Fourth and Harrison, two blocks away. They are around $10 each but they are really good. (Get there early before the ciabatta rolls run out.) This concludes my review of Whole Foods.

I don't buy a lot of deli food, but City's Choice is an exception. I have become fond of their turkey sandwiches, and usually order one when I visit a friend at his work for lunch. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the couple that runs the shop are efficient. It doesn't hurt that their prices on sandwiches are the best in the neighborhood.

These kind of mom& pop shops keep the neighborhood alive, very polite & humble guy,

Grabbed a 12 pack of Stella Beer and some bottled water here to fill my hotel room refrigerator. Prices seemed fair and the items were properly chilled. No complaints.

I told the nice old Asian man that I'd like a Turkey Sandwich on Sourdough and a Pastrami on Sourdough, instead, I got a Turkey and Pastrami Sandwich... On Sourdough... LoLBut it's Delicious!

This is a little bodega with a good selection of groceries plus some prepared foods. Very convenient for those with apartments in this area.

Great little spot in SoMa for some no frills lunch. You can get a toasted sandwich from the counter and then grab whatever else you need from the store while you wait. I was out of there with soda, chips, and a pastrami sandwich for like $14.

The food here is fire and well priced, and I enjoy picking up snacks from here. If you're hungry for a quick bite, like a bagel, sandwich, or a hot dog, support small business and drop by here.
One time I needed 1 more egg for a recipe and the owner sold me 1 individual egg. Goes above and beyond if you ask but just isn't very talkative. Not many places in the city you can get a toasted sandwich for $6.50. Drinks are a little more expensive than places like target but cheaper than most of the corner stores/markets in San Francisco. Get the pastrami with provolone on Dutch crunch.

Great little shop. I come in here a few times a week either to grab snacks and essentials or prepared foods. The business owner is very attentive. Definitely a great spot for the neighborhood. I always try to check this place out before going to a big box store or chain.

I love the Food here and it's just like the (New York Flavor Baby)!

Literally costs the same price for a bottle of beer as it does at the bar. Bought a six pack of Sculpin IPA and a Bic lighter last night for $25. Insanely over priced

Very convenient corner store with lots of drink/snack options. They serve home cooked chinese food during lunch and sell sandwiches any time of the day. The owner Kenny is not very talkative but once you become a regular he's friendly. The hours are pretty random. Sometimes they close early, sometimes close late, sometimes not open. Regardless, big fan of this place. Reminds me of a solid new york bodega
