50 Best Sandwich Shops near Tarzana

“First time trying this for delivery. Our order was done exactly how we asked and super fast too. If you like grilled onion on your burger like i do...hold onto your hat because these were not just grilled but carmelized to perfection. And the butter cake...holy moly...move over cannolis cause you've been replaced with this as my new favorite dessert! I cried tears of gourmet joy while I ate“

“I had the #10. I loved it. It's worth the extra money. I hate subway.“

“The only bad experience I have had at this location is when they have too many customers waiting and too few people behind the counter. I will admit, I avoided this location for a few years of living in the area because it just looked grungy from the outside. But then after a few years I finally tried it and the food has literally never disappointed. BUT...there has been a change lately, and not a good one. It's not the store's fault but the prices of everything on the menu are high now and the only way you can get a good deal is to order on the app. Now, the problem with app ordering from just about any restaurant is that they usually don't put enough ingredients on. Part of the beauty of Subway is that you can tell them how much or little you want. For instance if you want more tomatoes or just a slight bit of sauce, there is not a way to ask for that on the app. But you can save some money, as much as 30% off a sandwich or even combo meal with app ordering versus going in and giving your order to the counter staff. They also have BOGO or B2G1 (buy two, get a freebie) offers - and if you buy an expensive footlong, you can get a second for nothing.“

“THE BEST sandwiches in LA County. BAR NONE.“

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

“I don’t usually give out 5 stars… but this spot is a gem… and a diamond in the rough… I’d have never expected a sandwich spot in Santa Monica that shares the space with a tobacco/cigar store… but wow… color me impressed… super super nice guy working the counter and making the sandwiches, I’m assuming he’s the owner… I asked for a recommendation on his favorite, and he said the tuna… which I appreciated for a number of reasons but hits different when the owner is recommending the least expensive sandwich… usually it’s the opposite. Please listen to me, this is one of the top 2-3 best tuna sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life. Loved the additional fresh ingredients, from chopped eggs to cucumbers, lettuce and fresh red peppers. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone.. also the bread was a perfect toasted pillowy texture that I couldn’t get enough of. Top tier“

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

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“wow Fresh Good TastyFood great area..Definitely worth it.....“

“Love this place so happy they opened this! Did I mention they have wings??“

“Pockets absolutely deserves some recognition. My family and I stopped in and ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich and the Don's Chicken Sandwich, and honestly both were some of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time.
The Ultimate Steak Sandwich was loaded with tender, juicy tri-tip, perfectly sautéed peppers and onions, and not one but two kinds of melted cheese all piled onto a toasted sesame roll. The combination of cheeses took it to another level — rich, gooey, and perfectly balanced with the meat and peppers. Every bite had great flavor and the meat was cooked just right. The Don's Chicken Sandwich was equally impressive — crispy, perfectly seasoned chicken topped with fresh avocado and crispy bacon. Not the kind of avocado that's been sitting around either — you could tell it was fresh.
We added fries to both orders and they were exactly what fries should be: crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy. A great complement to both sandwiches.
The place itself is small and cozy — just a few tables — but the parking is easy which is always a plus. What really stood out though was the owner. He was running the whole operation by himself and somehow kept everything moving quickly and got our food out fresh and hot without any wait. That kind of dedication shows, and you can taste it in the food.
Pockets is the kind of local gem that deserves way more attention than it gets. If you're looking for a seriously good sandwich in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. We'll definitely be back.“

“John’s Garden is one of those true Malibu classics. I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s still one of the best spots in the Country Mart for a fresh, simple, and consistently great meal. The salads and sandwiches are always made with quality ingredients, and the outdoor seating under the umbrellas is perfect for a relaxed lunch in the sun. Whether I’m meeting someone at the Mart, grabbing something quick between showings, or just stopping by for a Malibu staple, John’s Garden never disappoints. Such a great, reliable local spot.“

“Tasty sandwiches at a great price!!“

“I love the kabab kobideh with sangak and reyhon. Kabab was juice and we enjoyed it. Just I leave 65 miles away. I wish I close by so I can go every weekend. How lucky the people leaving close by🥰“

“I had a long day and I got here at 8 pm on Saturday. Jared which he is store manager treated me with respect and so welcoming, I wanted the fresh potato salad and he went all the way in the back and got it for me . I believe he earned his position. Thank you my brother and hope to see you achieve all your goals in life . 🙏🔥🤝“

“Let me telll you the best freaking pastrami sub I’ve ever had and I hate sub sandwiches cause I can never find a good one. But de Franco has my heart it’s been 3 days and I want another so baddd. Plus the owner is the sweetest most amazing person ever!!! Can’t wait to go back and get more!“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“Great salads, I’m not a big salad fan until I found Mendocino Farms 👍 in addition to good food and not less important is the great service by the whole team, very clean and good atmosphere. It’s nice to be welcome with a smile when you return to a restaurant 😊 I would like to mention the manager, Brett, that was very KIND 🙏🪬🧿 Thank you!!! I highly recommend 👋“

“Great 👍 sandwiches and for vegans 🌱 @vgone“

“Stopped by Subway recently and had a really nice experience. Jasmin helped me out, she was super friendly and easy to talk to, which made ordering feel comfortable and not rushed. They got everything on my sandwich just right and it tasted fresh. The whole visit was quick and smooth, and overall just a pleasant stop. I'd definitely come back.“

“Stopped by for an afternoon sandwich. This is a nice little shop with sandwiches and Vietnamese food.
The people behind the counter are really friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a #7 pork sandwich. It was really good. What impressed me the most and stood out was the fresh vegetables in the sandwich. They were crisp and refreshing with every bite. I really enjoyed this sandwich!
This is a take out only place, no indoor seating.“

“My order was correct and delivered fast !! I was extremely impressed by the freshness of our sandwiches! The food was amazing I highly recommend trying this place out! Our lunch was so good we forgot to take pictures! We got two duo specials, it includes your choice of small sub,choice of chips,soda and cookie all for 9.99 . Great deal to say the least“

“Was at UCLA and was looking for a good sandwich for lunch. Glad I made the trip. Sandwiches were great and fairly good portions. A bit higher priced, but the flovors and ingredients were top notch. Great service front the counter explaining the options and giving some food opinions. Definitely be wback if I'm up here again.“

“This is Mike.
Mike takes selfies like he's never seen a camera before. 😂
But taking selfies is not what Mike gets paid to do.
Mike was kind enough to do this for me because I asked him to.
And the reason that I asked him to is because of what Mike does.
Mike does sandwich artistry and customer service.
And he does them well.

And when I say sandwich artistry, I mean that I watched him make my sandwich, and watching how he placed every piece of produce onto the sandwich with care and intentionality, it prompted me to ask him how long he had been working here.

He replied that he had been working at Subway since 2018, so approximately 8 years.
I eagerly let him know that his 8 years of experience shows in the care that he takes in making the sandwich. Watching him, it's evident to see that he takes great care in making sure that each sandwich component is placed proportionately and evenly.

Literally, like a piece of artwork.

Very kind, very considerate, and once he realized that I had mobility issues, he definitely went above and beyond the call of duty to offer me assistance. From bagging, to holding the door open for me, he made sure to have an open hand the entire time.

So if you're in the area, and you're hungry...

Or even if you're not hungry, to be honest....

I would definitely recommend coming here between the hours of 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., during the weekdays, and anytime during the weekends.

And if you end up getting a couple of footlongs, you might be in for a great surprise.

UPDATE: 8 - 24 - 2026

Just after 4:00 p.m., I ambulated into Subway and was greeted by Sandwich artist Victor. Victor has been there about 3 years less than Mike, but he's just as proficient, an equally as hospitable. Please introduce me to the Doritos Footlong Nachos.
(I'm not going to repeat the secret sandwich sauce combo but Victor... I didn't even have time to take a picture of it)“

“I had a deliciously spicy chicken sesame seeds bun sandwich. The aioli was a fantastic addition to an otherwise healthy sandwich, and made the sandwich what it is, as I said, delicious. The host is friendly and attentive, the restaurant is clean good vibes.“

“All wraps and burgers can be done in a gluten free wrap if needed. Make sure to ask. I have ciliac so gluten is a big no for me. Honestly, this place surprised me. I came with a group of friends and didnt expect to be able to eat much. Sean, I believe, went above and beyond in helping me out and explaining that they could do whatever is on the menu in a gluten wrap so I had more options. Been years since I've been here but I'll be back for sure. Also, gotta love a place that still believes in good size portions. Always nice to be able to take some home if I want. But check out their menu, they have great flavors in all the categories really. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Water mister on the patio area during the hot days. Would recommend of course.“

“The food was extremely fresh, the store was spotless even after a busy rush ! The staff was extremely friendly and patient while i was ordering and ensured I felt welcomed !! This was such an amazing atmosphere that i look for whenever ordering food, will definitely be returning to this subway very soon !!“

“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!“

“David provided amazing service and was super helpful throughout the whole visit. He was friendly, professional, and made everything easy and comfortable. Really appreciate his positive attitude and great customer service. Definitely one of the best experiences because of him!“

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

“Krishan is awesome. I was watching him build my sandwich and he’s the first I’ve seen that artistically makes it look nicely made. I’ve seen some that just slap everything on and gets messy. Not him. He makes it look very nice. I recommend this place 100%. Some day “it’s just a sandwich”. No. It’s not messily made. It’s made like he truly enjoys his job. I’ll be back again!“

“Let me begin with the positives such as a clean area to eat outdoor or indoor and the cooking area is clean. The lentil soup is vegetarian and super savory with the dill and seasonings. The soujouk burrito is delicious with great tortillas. Please don't change the tortillas. The green Greek salad is fresh and tasty. The coffee is smooth and perfect warn temperature. The macha was perfect as well. I believe what makes this a place I will come back to are the organic good quality ingredients they use and the attention to flavors. It's important to cook with care. They do cook with care and it shows. I will keep you posted if anything changes.
The negative for me is the parking and plastic utensils. Personally, I don't like plastic. However it will not deter me from coming back.“

“Every time I come here I’m always greeted by a “hello” and “how are you” from the sweet lady(Harvinder) working at the register/line. Food has always had a consistently good taste and service is pretty good. Thank you for always being helpful, sweet, and attentive Ms. Harvinder!!“

“I would like to commend, Ms. Natividad
S., manager of the Santa Monica, CA,
Subway , located at 1221 -A Wilshire Blvd..
Natividad patiently assisted me today,
4/1/25, with installing the Subway App on my i phone as my i phone skills are sadly very limited.. I signed the Subway App,
purchased a foot long , and have become
a Subway loyal customer……:… all because of Ms. Natividad S. courtesy and patient assistance.“

“I recently stoped in at Mendocino Farms in Porter Ranch and had the pleasure of being assisted by Art. His kindness and attentiveness truly enhanced my experience. Art went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my meal was perfect, providing thoughtful recommendations and making me feel genuinely valued as a guest. His warm demeanor and exceptional service are a testament to the high standards upheld by Mendocino Farms. I look forward to returning, knowing that team members like Art are dedicated to providing such memorable experiences.“

“Amazing sandwiches and especially the Cajon chicken wrap. good stuff.“

“They have just opened up a new location here in Long Beach in our building and the people are phenomenal! You could ask for better food nor customer service from the staff! We are so happy to have them here in the building. I now look forward to the variety of foods they have to offer. AWESOME!“

“They have a couple convenient parking spots right there so you don't have to park in the street. Otherwise, they've usually executed my online orders just fine. Unfortunately they don't honor all the subway coupons, but I think I've seen that elsewhere. West Los Angeles area. I tried to use the online 699 coupon for footlong. I'm not sure if it was a soccer special or one of the specials and it would not allow me to order online saying the store doesn't honor that promotion“

“Good colt cut sub. The inside was very spacious, only problem I had was it was a little warm inside didn’t necessarily make me want to sit down and enjoy my sandwich there but the sandwich was good. Good value I paid 15 bucks for a mineral water bag of chips and a large sub. I thought it was a great deal and the food was decent.“

“I always get greeted on the way in and get really good service!!“

“The owner of this place is truly one of the best. He treats his customers like family, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people who come through the door. I believe he’s originally from Australia, and for some reason I thought he no longer owned the place, so it was great seeing him there again the other day.

The shop is always clean, the staff is friendly, and I’ve had a lot of good experiences here. I did get a little upset recently because my sandwich wasn’t made the way I expected, but I later found out the person working that day was only filling in for one day and normally works at another location. That completely changed my perspective, because it wouldn’t be fair to hold this store or its regular staff responsible for one person’s mistake.

At the end of the day, this is still one of my favorite places. Great owner, great atmosphere, friendly people, and a business that makes you feel welcome. I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“I’ve been to this Firehouse Subs location twice now, and both visits were great experiences. The customer service really stood out — the staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and took the time to greet us and offer suggestions from the menu. You can tell they care about making customers feel appreciated.

The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept, and the food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Pepperoni Meatball Sub — it was flavorful, hot, and made perfectly.

Overall, this is a wonderful location with a great team working there. I’ll definitely be coming back many more times. Highly recommend!“

“Great subs, Fresh breads, veggies, deli style meats and cheeses. Highly recommended :)“

“Great food. AWESOME service. 👌“

“This review is 5 stars because of one exceptional employee, Ailiana Pineda. We come every Saturday so that my son, who has autism, can have his turkey and provolone sandwich with a cookie. Ailiana makes what could be a trying experience, a very easy and special one. She remembers us, our order and the importance of making each step as smooth and as quick as possible. Ailiana is always cheerful; always welcoming; always efficient and tireless. Jersey Mike's is very, very fortunate to have her. She is inherently kind and knows exactly what good customer service looks like. Thank you, Ailiana, for welcoming us each and every time with your genuine smile and care. Shahe.“

“Ordered the roast pork. Very big sandwich you can easily split or save the other half for later. I don’t know what liquid they add on top of the sandwich but it was amazing! The bread soaks up all the juices and it’s a flavor bomb with every bite. I will say their pork is no where near as tender as valley of sandwiches.“

“Thx, On behave of the #healthcareworks !!“

“Great service, great food, today is my first time here, mainly because this particular Subway location is a little hidden, but I will definitely be back!! :) ☆“

“I’ve been eating subs from My Hero since 1972! THE best subs I’ve eaten, ever. Moved through the years, and always went to My Hero’s when within 5 hours by car to where I was staying! The high quality of their food has never waivered! The buns are soft, yet chewy! The tomato salad in each sandwich is always fresh! Plus they give a generous portion of the protein! My favorite has always been pastrami! Lean and tasty, everytime! The staff is welcoming and genuinely happy you are there! I’ll be going in a week as I pass through the area! Will be the highlight of my trip! Thanks My Hero for keeping the memories alive and never disappointing!“
