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?“

“In this location they have a few tables inside and two small ones outside. I usually order online so they have my sandwich ready when I arrive. Most of the time the food is good, although a couple of times I was disappointed with the bread because it was not very fresh or it was a bit under cooked.“

“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!“

“From trying one smoked slider, I was hooked!! Italian sub, everything bagel with veggies (I request salami inside lol), chopped salad and this morning it was"Eddie's Breakfast Sammie" on cheesy jalapeno bagel. I couldn't wait and had to eat half in the store. Breakfast, music and a wonderful staff. You'll feel right at home!“

“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.“

“I come here every week! I love the tuna melt, its to die for! the staff is so kind and makes you feel so welcomed! I love coming to Berges, its a highlight of my week!“

“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!!“

“Hidden gem forsure $8.50 per sandwich and delish market chicken was great like goes by so fast you order by the time you pay your bag is ready.

Parking: you park in P1 (green) and take the elevator up , cross the street to the left bank and
Go down the escalator twice“

“Retro corner shop serving sandwiches, burgers, and other hot food.
----------
Wet Fries with Gravy
Grade: A-
I don't know what kind of stock they use for the gravy but the flavor is phenomenal. A little on the salty side but not too bad when you spread it out over the fries. The portion size is also massive
----------
Pastrami Dip
Grade: C-
The smokiness of the pastrami is good but it is really salty. I don't know if it's the pastrami itself or the au jus but the salt overpowers the rest of the flavor.“

“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!“

“I've been on a banh mi quest to find the best banh mi in San Gabriel valley.

I usually buy one item at all the places and it's the BBQ pork sandwich.
This is the best place so far. The sandwich is delicious. Old school delicious.

I call this banh mi, THE ULTIMATE. ?

Place is cash only.“

“Pane Bianco in ROW DTLA is a hidden gem for artisanal sandwiches and Italian-inspired bites. The bread, baked fresh in-house, is the star of the show—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. Their sandwiches, filled with quality ingredients like fresh mozzarella, cured meats, and vibrant vegetables, are simple yet bursting with flavor. The casual, laid-back vibe makes it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or takeout. While the menu is focused mainly on sandwiches, the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail make each bite memorable. It’s reasonably priced, considering the craftsmanship and freshness of the food.“

“Had a hankering for pizza and came here. I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom and onion pizza and sat in my car and absolutely destroyed this thing. It was so good! Nice crispy crust, perfect tomato sauce to cheese ratio and the toppings tasted fresh. Banger of a pizza. ?“

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

“Good service and great food“

“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.“

“Give it up for the classic. You will not be dissatisfied with the quality of your pastrami. Location is super clean and fast service. Was here for lunch on a weekday. Sandwich was not salty you could taste the spices. Fresh French fries with horseradish sauce (aioli) well call me a cab - I am done“

“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!!!“

“great food the food was hot“

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

“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“

“The sandwich is great, I don't remember their names tho. The hot roasted beef is the one I ate.

The staff are nice, but they don't accept cash there, paying with cards or Google pay is fine.

You can choose to eat inside the store or outside the corridor, I will prefer eating inside since there's flies outside.

I will definitely come back here again.“

“I enjoy # 1 Bros on brown bread !“

“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 love love love this place! The sandwiches are so simple but the ingredient pairings are just chefs kiss ✨ Tommy really knows what he’s doing.My typical go to is the Ironwood with turkey and I like to get the 43rd Ave as a dessert sandwich ?The 43rd isn’t always on the menu but I can confirm that they always have the ingredients.

Parking: As of Mar ‘24, parking is free“

“Delicious sandwiches and over repriced drinks, one Aquafina for $2.35 😑“

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

“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“

“Delicious 🤤 but tiny portions for the bowls ! Stick to the subs if you want to be full ! Prices are not bad , but I love big salads and it was lacking veggies 🥗 the vegan steak was actually loaded up though lol“

“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.“

“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 🤤“

“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 ?.“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

“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!😎😋😋😉😉“

“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.“

“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“

“To the IKE’s Sandwiches team in Monrovia,

I wanted to share my fantastic experience during my first visit to your location. Kaylee went above and beyond in providing exceptional customer service. She took the time to explain each menu item, shared the heart and meaning behind the sandwich names, and made the entire experience enjoyable even before I tasted the sandwich! Her passion and care truly stood out.

Thanks to Kaylee, I’ll definitely be back, and I’m excited to try more from your menu. She deserves a huge shoutout and a raise for her incredible dedication and the way she represents IKE’s so well.

Thank you for such an awesome introduction to Ike’s.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“a great sandwich place in Whittier when you're on the go, quick, fast, clean, and great service.“

“I always enjoy going to Subway, I find their sandwiches to be flesh and tasty, Yesterday I tried their tuna salad for the very first time and was delicious. The employees take great care in preparing the sandwiches.“

“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.“
