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.“

“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!“

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

“Amazing sandwiches made with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The bread is crusty, and the sauce is fantastic—not too much, just enough. The coffee is wonderful as well. Everything is made with high-quality products and lots of love. Definitely recommend!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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 👋“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“A wonderful place with a great atmosphere and consistently delicious, fresh food. I come here regularly and always have a fantastic experience!
​​A huge thank you to the team for their genuine hospitality, fast service, and care for every guest. You make this place truly special!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Mendocino Farms is definitely one of my favorite spots! The first thing you notice is how incredibly fresh every single ingredient is. No matter what you pick from the menu, the food is consistently delicious, high-quality, and super fresh.
I also have to mention their Chicken Farro Soup it is absolutely magnificent! It’s hearty, flavorful, and the ultimate comfort food. It’s one of those dishes that keeps me coming back again and again.
Great place with an amazing selection and consistently high standards. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very happy with my first experience here, clean store when I walked in, my food was already bagged and ready to go and when I got home I was quite pleased with my sandwich. If you’re looking for a great hot sandwich stop by and give em a try!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am a student at UCLA and get food at this subway location every week after my hospital shift. The service is always great and some of the employees have even started to recognize me. Gourish is one of the employees that I see every week and he always greets me with a smile and has already memorized my order. Love the employees and the food very much!“

“I had a great experience at Subway! The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared exactly how I wanted it. Kalyan provided excellent customer service—he was friendly, polite, and made my order quickly. The restaurant was also clean and well maintained. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The manager Griselda is a great person, I don’t know why she’s getting bad reviews!, she’s a good person and she’s just following her owners rules!. She Took my food with care , will definitely come back here.“

“This is my favorite location because the staff here are always welcoming!! They are nice!! I like this team!! Also the way they prepare your food, is way different than other locations, they put dedication and inspiration to it. Great customer service. And place is clean every time I'm there.

Vegetarian options: A variety of veggies and veggies paties available

Kid-friendliness: Proper for kids to dine in.“

“The definition of a little hole in the wall, and I mean that in all the best ways. The food is delicious, affordable, fresh, and quick. It's a kind of a combination subs and a little bit of Korean, sometimes at the same time. Probably my favorite philly cheese steak in town. The bread is great. The teriyaki sub is delicious.

It's close to where I work and it's my go-to lunch spot when I want to go out.“

“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!“

“I gave this subway a second chance and this time they didn’t disappoint staff was much nicer and the place was more clean. The food was pretty good. They just need to get more staff during busy hours there was a really long line during lunch time.“

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

“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.“

“Good experience in the store. Employees were friendly and tentative. It did get a little busy and while ordering I was cut off just so my order taker could answer another employee who picked up a phone call. Usually, you want to take care of customers in the store before handling a phone call lol. Overall, clean, prices are average for this area and food was delicious.“

“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“

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