Sandwich Shops near South Pasadena

“Great sandwiches. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and the great service from the owner. A+ for customer service. The gentleman was exceptional. Don’t get quality service like that anymore. Would definitely recommend supporting this sandwich shop. We’ll be back! 🙌🏼“

“I LOVE the food at Jersey Mike's. But I am OVER being chastised by the employees. Apparently, if you don't order "Mike's Way" correctly, you are to be punished! I was asked how I wanted my sub I said "almost Mike's way" and told them what I wanted. I was then CORRECTED that I should have said: "Mikes way without spices, then add peppers". They even did this to my boyfriend once. Really!? Stop with the games! How about the CUSTOMER'S way?“

“I try to go every Saturday morning, I am a regular there and the server at this location she is always kind prepares my steak sandwich just the way I like it and is extremely helpful. Both my wife and I go there not just for the food but for the excellent service she provides if it were not for her we honestly wouldn't go there.“

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“Came from Cerritos to find out the hoopla Not disappointed. Very nice people food was great . Be back soon“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“You will never get a sub quite as lovely as these. I don’t know why they’re so good, maybe fresh bread and fresh ingredients IDK but Turkey extra chili is my fave!! Mom loves Milanesa and the fried sides are YUMM too! I learned how to make my voice heard at the old little market. The big construction men at lunch time would be shouting out their orders. I was 11 years old and had to shout my order too!! Been a patron since 1982!!“

“The pastrami dip at The Hat is legendary, and for good reason. The portions are massive, and the meat is juicy and tender. The fries are also ridiculously large—enough to share with two or three people. The place has a no-frills, diner-like feel. It’s indulgent comfort food at its best“

“We arrived right at the lunch hour on a Thursday. There was a long line, but it went very fast. Ordered Herb Chicken sammy and tomato bisque, which was enough for two to share (we always share). Both were phenomenal, especially for the very reasonable price. This reminded me of what you get in Europe. The bread was so fresh and absolutely outstanding. We pay twice these prices for not as good food in San Diego. Very impressed!“

“Super friendly service and they always remember your face. With me they always remembers what I order. Way delicious sandwiches. Condiments and well drinks not to be rivaled. Smack in the middle of Pasadena near Sierra Madre on Colorado. Enjoy!“

“great food the food was hot“

“Good service and great food“

“No frills, just perfect bread and fillings. The baguette crackles, the pickled veggies are crisp, and the grilled pork is marinated with a little sweetness. I always add a pandan waffle to go—still warm, slightly chewy. Parking in the small lot can be hectic, but turnover is quick. It’s a reliable lunch that never disappoints“

“The best old school sandwich place. A La Canada OG that has spanned generations in our valley. I moved away but miss these delicious sandwiches made with love.“

“Love to start my day with fresh orange juice and bagels here. Staff is welcoming and cheerful“

“Absolutely amazing! I was in town for work, and looking for some good food. Their food is made with natural ingredients and tastes amazing! The people are friendly and helpful. The bread in their sandwiches and subs is made by a non supplier bakery, so it tastes fresh and amazing, unlike chain pizza places! Would definitely recommend!“

“Today's special roasted mushroom pizza was SO GOOD. The chili oil topping was nice and fragrant without being greasy, and the mushroom was flavorful and savory. The nice crispy crust is crusty, not crunchy. The salami pizza had really nice thin slices for salami that is just the right punch of salty flavor.“

“The Hat doesn’t play around — that pastrami is stacked like a meat mountain 🏔️🔥. The fries? The fries are more thicker than an IG model. A delicious mess you won’t regret. Iconic sign, classic flavor, and enough food to knock you into a nap. 10/10 would food coma again. .. 😅🥪🍟“

“Not as good as the Slausan location but still a great option for the DTLA area. They gave me the wrong order and I didn't feel like making it a thing so I just ate it even though it wasn't what I wanted. I felt like the lady behind the counter would have made a big deal out of it so I just ate it.“

“A huge pastrami on rye, hit the spot!
Back for a pastrami dip and an orange blast, wow. This is a must visit whenever I'm in town!
The place is a real blast from the past, they don't do it like this much any more. I want to try some other sandwiches but I can't pass up that pastrami!!!“

“My favorite sandwich shop in SGV! My all time favorite is the Pastrami & Swiss Melt on the Marble Rye bread. They have great customer service & a large selection of food items 🤤“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“Awesome food will definitely return!“

“Black girl who works here is soooo sweet and is a cherry on top of the dine in experience. My boyfriend and I like to get the steak sandwich and the not so fried chicken sandwich and go halfsies on them. Highly recommend. I dream about this sandwich combo“

“I got the pork belly and side the couscous it was delicious.. yummy 😋“

“I happened to see one of these on the way to my hotel and it reminded me of the shops they had in Sac. Grabbed a grilled pork bahn mi for lunch with some egg rolls to share. Added a well done egg and loved it. All their sandwiches are really good. I will return if in the area for sure. Great food for a great price“

“Wanted to love this place based on the reviews and pictures, but unfortunately it wasn’t for us. The sandwiches were dry and kind of messy (the paper rips when you open it so a double wrap would be nice). Service was amazing but sandwiches weren’t for us.“

“I enjoy # 1 Bros on brown bread !“

“I've been coming here for 40 years! always so delicious!“

“Not only they have the best employees and kiwi lemonade/cooler, the sandwiches are on Mom n bub's bread, made with love and humanity. Also, if your judgy, a hater and racist( as the soup Nazi would say) NO SAMMY FOR YOU BABY!😎😋😋😉😉“

“Sandwiches were addicting! Definitely coming back! So delicious 🤤“

“My wife has her own sandwich which is a Michelle sandwich turkey, provolone, easy on the mayo and mustard with avocado on toasted Italian roll, just ask for a Michelle they know what it consists of with a bag of chips and pelegrino pamogranit and tangerine try it you'll like it and tell them Michelle sent you thank you and bon a petite ?.“

“Cool place for boba drinks. They make them promptly and the price is clearly posted. $5 for a Thai tea with boba includes taxes. We ordered six drinks and received them promptly. There is a sitting area to enjoy your drinks too.
A cup of Thai tea with boba and ice tastes great on a hot day.
They only accept cash.“

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

“I got an order to go and got the Mama’s Chen’s Chinese chicken salad. It was delicious, crispy and flavorful.

I got the extra dressing to make it even more phenomenal. Probably one of the best Chinese chicken salads I’ve ever had.

I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“

“This is my go to Jersey Mike’s. It’s located conveniently right off the freeway, and the workers there always put my food together with love. The food is always fresh, nvr just thrown together…a few times I’ve come Dangelo, Jose, Oscar, and Armond have all shown the best customer service, always super cool and my favorite sandwich always comes out to perfection. Thanks guys !“

“This is one of those local gem mom and pop restaurants that everyone loves. Great sandwiches, great onion rings and good prices. The restaurant itself it a little dated and the owners say very little, but the food speaks for itself. I've been coming here since I was a kid and will continue coming until I no longer can.

Parking: Free parking but limited parking spaces.“

“I actually take a bike ride early morning this time mad my run had to go by see the donut house open got there it was the cook he said need to wait 4 am that great was there 3:56 you say fresh donuts had to get 1 cinnamon roll 4 chocolate Glaze 2 chocolate devilfool so find to get only 5 m my home appreciate alll Mr V donuts hot cup of coffee“

“Always order catering from them for my staff, and they always deliver! Done on time and wrapped up beautifully. They always help me to my car with the bag as well. Great customer service!

My staff loves their sandwiches! The variety is nice, and the vegan option is essential. Thanks to the team at mendo! And see you again soon!“

“Under new management but the food quality still seems great. Expect a decent wait as they get slammed with catering orders around lunch time and it can take a bit to make your food. Parking is terrible in this lot but you can usually find a spot.“

“My friend brought me a sandwich from here for lunch today and it was UNBELIEVABLY good!!! WOW <3 =)“

“There is no clean restroom. There's only a public bathroom that the entire courtyard uses, unfortunately. During the day during work hours, it's actually not so bad, with not too many homeless, but I think the tables need a little more love and cleanliness.“

“born in Philly, raised in PA. Their sandwiches are authentic. bread, meat, and cheese.“

“I love coming here! Great food, friendly service and family run. The village is so charming.“

“Great place to get a chicken sandwich, my favorite number 14, delicious 1st class chicken breast, 1st class bread, and all ingredients. Add avocado and is way better and affordable than any Subway or Jersey Mike's. Also great bagels. Can't speak for donuts cuz don't eat donuts.“

“me and my son eat firehouse subs at least once a month or sometimes twice the sandwiches are so delicious my son loves the grilled cheese sandwiches and my favorite sub is the firehouse sub“

“My doctors office is across the street I come every time I go and I go to the doctors 3 times a month every month and I have been going for 2 yrs now I have always had a super great experience but this day on August 15, 2019 @ 2:00 p.m I GOT THE WORSE SERVER SHE HAD AN ATTITUDE BECAUSE SHE MESSED UP MY ORDER HOW DARE HER “AUDRY” WAS HER NAME I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE OF THE MISTAKE SHE MADE SHE CHARGED ME FOR A SMALL WHEN I MADE CLEAR I WANTED A LARGE WHEN SHE HAD TO CALL ANOTHER WORKER TO ASSIT WITH THE ADJUSTMENT SHE GOT A MAJOR ATTITUDE “AUDRY” DID WHICH I DIDNT UNDERSTAND SHE WAS SUPER DUPER RUDE I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNAPPRECIATED WHEN GOING TO THIS PLACE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR 2 years“

“I remember getting some pretty good bánh mì to take on a flight several years ago, but didn’t know from which establishment. I came here today and it felt very familiar. I’m pretty certain this was the place.

We took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round bread bánh mì. We had the Saigon special, grilled pork and grilled beef. We actually asked for the meatball bánh mì, but they got our order wrong and gave us the grilled beef instead, which we didn’t realise until we got home. However, the sandwiches were still tasty; the meat was well seasoned and the bread had enough bite without being tough.

A decent place if you fancy some bánh mì. Takeout only.“
