Holy moly this sandwich is DIVINE!! Walked in just 2 minutes before close with 0 expectations, and wow was I blown away! The owner went out of his way to make me a fresh sandwich even though he was ready to pack up. I tried the fried chicken adobo and it was an incredible combination of flavors and textures. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with a great savory seasoning that was balanced out by the sweetness of the bun and the acidity of the papaya slaw. I can’t wait to come back another time and try the longganisa sandwich next. Thank you for the great experience!

I love seeing that this place is open. Stopped in on a whim and had one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had in my life. The bread is out of this world too. Seriously fantastic and great price.

Amazing and unique breakfast sandos. Even though the menu is small, it's incredibly hard to choose between the two sandwiches. You might not think you'd like tamarind outside of soups or ketchup with banana in it, but it works! Love what Jeff is doing and wish him the best
The fried chicken adobo sandwich is amazing! The vibe and hospitality were great. Will definitely be back.

Delicious, satisfying, and perfectly prepared comfort foods delivered by a friendly, talented guy on his come up. The chicken is literally perfect, and really everything on this small menu is an amazing, personal take on traditional Filipino flavors.
Owner is very friendly. Nice atmosphere and great filipino flavors.

Absolutely adore Johnny Boy!!!! If I could order one of everything I would. Personal favorite is the chicken bites as a little afternoon snack - unparalleled crunch, flavor, texture, juiciness. Jeff is also the nicest guy around, which is a huge plus!! Seriously some of the best food I've had in a long time - can't wait to go back again soon!!
I'm Filipino, and I've always been looking for places that not only spotlight Filipino flavors, but also present them in a creative way. Been meaning to go here for the longest time and it exceeded my expectations.
We got the tortang talong, the longganisa (get the Extra Filipino!) sandwich, and the chicken bites. The flavors, especially the longganisa and the atchara on the chicken bites, were on point. Special mention goes to the pandesal - it reminded me of the pandesal I'd buy in the wet markets back home. Now all I need is a calamansi drink to wash it all down lol
Can't wait to come back and try the chicken adobo sandwich!
I've been here 6 or 7 times at this point, and every time has been fantastic! Both the longganisa and adobo sandwiches are great, but the longganisa is a must-try imo. Prices are reasonable and portions are perfect, menu rotates pretty often and hours are subject to change, so make sure to check the website for updates!
I can’t find the words to describe how amazing the longganisa sandwich is. I’ve caught myself daydreaming about them. A must visit if you’re in union square.

Top tier sandwiches, top tier sides. Worth the visit every time.
What a GEM! A passing customer mentioned that their friend, a fried chicken connoisseur, exclaimed that Johnny Boy's fried chicken sandwich was the best they had ever had. I got one for myself, and to my amazement, it was the best I had ever had! Tender magic on the inside, light fluffy, crisp perfection on the outside with a secret infusion of a special tanginess with a light sprinkle of pickled vegetables on top sandwiched between highly calibrated buns. Just like some sort of secret recipe from SpongeBob's hamburgers that would turn even the most pessimistic food critics into fanatics (or it aught to).

One of my favorite spots in the Boston Area. The sandwiches are insanely good and I'd eat them every day if I could. Don't miss this spot!!!!!
